CAN'T GIVE PROOF
 OF HIS CITIZENSHIP
Boston World War Lieutenant Told He Is lllegitimate Child
 of Waitress.

Boston, Dec. 19 UP) - The Boston Herald says today that Ralph P. Heard, Boston architect, who has been denied passports for a Euro pean trip by the state department because he could not produce proof of his birth and hence of citizenship, although he served through the World War as lieutenant in the American army. will petition the next legislature ito have Massachu- sctts accept him as one of its recog- nized citizens"
 Heard thinks he has the right to become a citizen but lacks proof necessary to show that he was born here or anywhere although he had always supposed he was born in Bos- ton in 1887. He was reared by MT. and Mrs. Horace P. Heard of Weston and until he was in his teens he had thought himself their son.
 Heard, the Herald says, was after ward told he was Ralph Costello, an illegitimate child and is now wonder ing if he may have been the son of a waitress born out of wedlock.
 His case attracted considerable in- terest when it became known that the state department had denied him passports although all his life he had believed he was a natural born citi- zen.

 The agreement between New York and Ontario bodies provides for mutual recognition of contracts filed with the respective commissions and a 30 day written notice of intent to withdraw from the agreement. Each commission will conduct its own af- fairs and reserve the right of review but contracts, fines and suspensions will be recognized.
