  We derive the general lagrangian and propagator for a vector-spinor field in
$d$-dimensions and show that the physical observables are invariant under the
so-called point transformation symmetry. Until now the symmetry has not been
exploited in any non-trival way, presumably because it is not an invariance of
the classical action nor is it a gauge symmetry. Nevertheless, we develop a
technique for exploring the consequences of the symmetry leading to a conserved
vector current and charge. The current and charge are identically zero in the
free field case and only contribute in a background such as a electromagnetic
or gravitational field. The current can couple spin-3/2 fields to vector and
scalar fields and may have important consequences in intermediate energy hadron
physics as well as linearized supergravity. The consistency problem which
plagues higher spin field theories is then discussed and and some ideas
regarding the possiblity of solutions are presented.
