Chiropractors' Status
In Physical Tests of
Hackers Questioned
The validity of some 100 hack
ers’ licenses was questioned yester
day when Traffic Director George
Keneipp asked the District Com
missioners to decide whether
chiropractors are competent to
certify to the physical fitness of
applicants.
Mr. Keneipp told the Commis
sioners he was withholding issu
ance of the licenses because most
of them carried medical certifi
cates filled out by a chiropractor.
In 1935, Mr. Keneipp told the
Commissioners, Dr. Walter Fow
ler, then District Health officer,
ruled that only medical doctors
and osteopaths were qualified to
pass on the physical fitness of ap
plicants for District licenses, fhe
Commissioners affirmed the rul
ing.
The chiropractor who signed
most of the medical certificates
on the questioned applications
said he would return the $3 fees
paid by hacker applicants if the
Commissioners ruled his certifica
tions were not valid.
The Commissioners referred the
matter to the Board of Licensure,
which asked one of its members,
District Attorney Charles M. Ire
lan, to submit an opinion on the
legal questions involved.

Penitent Newspaper Boy Admits
Hoax in Tale of Robbery
Candy, cakes and ice cream
cones are out of bounds today
for 13-year-old Star Carrier Rob
ert McHale. who has Emitted
he libbed when he told; police he
was trussed, thrown, in a creek
and robbed of $75 by two boys
about his own age.
Actually, the remorseful East
Riverdale lad sobbed yesterday to
Hyattsville detectives, the Wild
West scene was a hoax,' devised
by himself and e^cecuted„Wednes
day with the aid of a 14-year-old
neighborhood boy.
The frightened carrier con
fessed just before he made his
rounds with papers carrying first
accounts of his escapade. The
corrected version is in editions
he will deliver today, under strict
parental admonitions.
The idea of the hoax came after
he had spent $10 of his own
money on treats for himself and
his friends. *He was afraid to tell
his mother and his father, Thomas
J. McHale, a bricklayer foreman
who lives with his family at 5602
Fifty-ninth street.
Lt. Vincent S. Free, chief of
Prince Georges County detectives,
and Detective Sergt. Richard A.
Pearson said the' carrier kept in
tact the money he had collected
from customers and due The Star.
According to his revised story,
Robert gave $53 to a 13-year-old
girl friend to keep for him and
$4.10 to a boy companion who tied
his arms with plastic clothesline.
All the money was recovered, ex
cept 90 cents spent by the ac
complice on an ice-cream spree.
Timing his disappearance with
the expected passing of a neigh
bor, Robert made his way to a
Foot-deep creek near his home,
splashed in and called for help.M
rhe neighbor, Gus Bealor of the'I
TRANSPORTATION.
