NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-VA
fantastic plot to xtort money
from George Palmer Putnam on
promise to return his missing
flier wife, Amelia Earhart, was
disclosed today by the federal bu
reau of investigation.
Rhea Whitley, special agent in
charge of the New York office,
announced the arrest of Wilbur
Rothar, 42, a seaman, who alleg
edly received 21,000 from Putnam
as half-payment on his promise to
deliver Miss Earhart to a New
York hospital from a mystery boat
off New York. Rothar claimed she
had been under medical care
since the vessel picked her up on
Soutb Pacific island.
Whitley said Rothar made a
complete confession of a plot. He
conceived it, he said, because he
had in his possession a scarf of
Miss Earhart's which he had pick
ed up at Roosevelt field, several
years Ago. He admitted, Whitley
said, he had never seen Miss Ear
hart. Putnam last Saturday received
note at his hotel which said;
We have your wife on the ship,
will call Sunday at 2 o'clock."

on Housing
Cost Is Approved
WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-UP)-
Fervent appeals by Senator Byrd
(D-Va) induced the senate today
to put a $4000 limit on each home
to be built under the Wagner low
cost housing bill.
The Virginia advocate of econ
omy warned legislators against a
repetition of the expenditures of
the resettlement administration.
It is a willful waste of money
such as has never occurred before
in any civilized country of the
world."
Then, by a 40 to 89 vote, the
chamber adopted the Byrd amend
ment, which would withhold fed
eral loans or subsidies from pro
jects costing more than $4000 a
family unit, or $1000 a room.
Later, the senate plunged into
new controversy over a proposal
by Senator George (D-Ga) to lim
it the life of the housing authority
to three years.
"Unless you put this limitation
on the ect," George asserted, "you
will have state socialism now and
forever."
But the amendment was defeat

The eastern column was said to
be about 20 miles from the Chi
