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,

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
ed, 47 to ,23.

today to prevent them from tax

in this conquered city.
Japanese news photographers
and news reel cameramen were

Sheridan Fahnestock, 23-year-old

while attempting to photograph a

Nearby Bonny Powell, a newa

Japanese officers, reservists and
civilians ganged up on Powell

their embassy gates.
SHANGHAI. Aug. 5.-(Thurs-day)-(fls)-H'irrIed
evacuation of
Japanese non-combatants from
the vast area of China caused fear
today that Japan's week-old un
declared war in north China might
spread deeper than had been ex
pected. Japanese reports disclosed
withdrawals of Japanese nationals
were being effected with Increas
ing rapidity and were drawing
Japanese residents even from
China's interior.
Japanese women and children
crowded trains into Canton to
take ships for Japan: More than
3,000 Japanese concentrated all
the port of Tsingtao.
From south central China, re
ports arrived many Japanese were
en route here and to other coastal
cities from Hunan and Kweighow
provinces.
Authorities in Nanking were
said to fear for the safety of
8,000 Chinese nationals in Japan
and to have considered evacuating
them.
The theater of war shifted def
initely to the south, apparently,
toward an Impending clash be
tween both nation's main forces.
Two Japanese columns, one la
eastern Hopeh province and the
other in western Hopeh, penetra
ted steadily southward to strike
at the central Chinese govern
ment's first-line defenses. Japan
ese commanders reported virtual
ly no opposition.
The eastern column was said to
be about 20 miles from the Chi
nese vanguard near the Hopeb
Shantung. province border. The
parallel, western column, at a
point about 20 miles southwest
of Tientsin, was believed to be
about the same distance from an
arm of the Chinese forces along
