HIS CANOE TRIP
 IS INTERRUPTED.
Richard Walter Heurtley Is Returned to Parents
 in New York

New London, Conn, Jan. 5.-(UP) Richard Walter Heurtley, Jr., IT, who started on 900-mile canoe trip to Jacksonville, Fla, because he was "Sick of too much leisure" returned home to his parents in New York today, disappointed young man.
 Heurtley had charted a course through Long Island sound, hoping to throw of pursuit, but one of 40 coast guard boats, which had searched the waters for five days, picked up his frail, heavily-laden craft off Rock Point, L. l., late yes- terday and took him aboard.
 T didn't want the coast guard" he complained, as he slipped hot cof- fee in the quarters of Commander J. E. Whitbeck. T didn't resist, you know. I stepped right aboard when they came up. They were very nice to me-"
 His Plan Revealed
 His plan, he revealed, was to get to Florida, where he intended to stay flor quite while" His canoe was loaded with supplies, clothing, a minnow seine, rope and various other accessories. Since he left Darien Dec. 30, he said, he slept in the canoe, and ate apples, bacon, bread and chocolate. He forgot to bring along blankets and his only covering was a length of tarpaulin. The search was instituted at re- quest of his mother Mrs. Theodore E. Rhoades, ITO East 18th street, New York city, for whom he left a note relating his proposed adven- ture. Heurtley, whose father is R. w. HeGrtley, Chappaqua, N. r., was considered an outstanding student during his year and one-half at Harvard.

Ineligible @

Ineligible @
 Reports from authentic circles are to the effect that Saginario, because of his alleged infraction of union rules in playing for reduced rates at Jacques theater during the sum- mer, will be declared ineligible for the presidency. Charles Durbin, president for the past several years. and member of the union for more than 30 years, will be the principal oppositionist to the installation of Saginario, it was learned.
 Shortly after the much-contested and publicized election, Saginaro and six other union members, all members of the Jacques band, were brought lon the carpet" before the executive committee. Just what &C., tion was taken against them for the alleged infractions of union rules could never be ascertained because the executive committee members were sworn to secrecy.
 Hot Election
 The election meeting, held more than month ago, was also the scene of much conteSV, and reproduction of this scene is expected to be pre- sented on Sunday at the "installa- tion." Saginario is the only new of ficer to be installed, as all others who served last year were reelected with the exception of President Durbin.
 Open house" has been planned, and from all indications this pro- gram will be followed. Just how open the meeting and it's aftermath will be is subject of question, especially among the members of the union. The union officials have not as yet announced who the installing officers will be.
 No Statements
 Just what sort of measures were planned to keep Saginario from the presidents chair because of his violation of the rules could not be aScertained today. President Dur bin could not be reached for a state ment. Previous attempts to obtain statements have been futile since the fare-up which followed the election in which he was defeated by small margin for reelection.
 Officers Chosen
 Others to be installed other than Saginario, according to the prepared program. are: vice president, Louis DiVito; treasurer, William Mclean; i; secretary, Sherwoo Beardslee, Thomaston; sergeant at arms, George Biggins. The executive com mittee includes the officers and Har- ry Brinkman, Bernard Blick, Jack Fitzgerald, Emil Marks and Joseph Pagano. Refreshments will be served after the meeting.

COMPLAINT LODGED BY CHIROPRACTORS
Object to Propaganda in Films-Letter Sent to
 \ Producers, Star

Washington, D. C.. January 5. - Smearing moving picture film with medical propaganda, masked as ed- ucation, will fling the picture in- dustry from the field of art to the mud of propaganda, said a state ment issued today by the National Chiropractic Association.
 The statement referred to the Warner Brothers picture being pro- duced under the supervision of Nor ris Fishbein, "propagandist agent" of the American Medical Associa- tion.
 Writing to Warner Brothers, Dr. F. Lorne Wheaton, of New Haven, Conn, president of the Chiropractic organization, said:
 T wish to point out the possibility of this picture becoming propa- gandist film. If it remains within the confines of education, you will be serving a good purpose; but if it is allowed to become the medium for the propaganda of one school ot healing against other schools or sys- tens, it will merely illustrate the prostitution of a fine art. AS the paid publicist of the American Med ical Association, Dr. Fishbein, will naturally protect his own profession while directing attention to his dis torted conception of the weaknesses of competing professions.
 In a similar letter to Paul Muni proposed star of the medical film Dr. Wheaton said that the scrip writers had obtained their origina idea from book written by Dr Fishbein ten years ago, when char latanery was more prevalent thar it is today in all branches of thu

dragged them into the canal and

to do all this, but this particular
tree wasn't a very big one or Peter

been disposed of Paddy started to
work on the trunk. About feet
from the end he began to gnaw. Chip

teeth while Peter looked on. Finally
