DIRTGIBLE EXPERT
 REFUSED CONTRACT
Cant. Heinen Say. Shenandoah
 Durir- Storm

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Captain Anton Heinen, dirigible expert, who saved the giant Shenandoah when she tore loose fro mher mooring at Lake hurst, N. J., during a severe storm some months ago, has been refused a renewal of his contract with the bu- reau of aeronautics of the navy depart ment. The contract expired June 30.
 Rear Admiral Moffett, C. ef of the bureau, said in a statement that Hei- nen had expressed desire early in the spring to accept a position with a pri- vate firm. but added that it was not thought that Heinen's services "were necessary any longer as cOnsultant engineer"
 1t was Heinen's expert generalship which saved the giant dirigible when the storm carried her away from her base at Lakehurst. He assumed charge and threw her into the wind.
