TOXIC, August 24--Rengo, semi
ofdcial Japanese news agency, said to-
day suspicious had been aroused be-
cause of the course followed by Col
and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh along
certain portion of the Kurile Island
route in their much interrupted flight
from Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka, to
Nemuro. Japan.
High government oficials, however.
apparently did not take seriously the
report that the suspicious of certain
authorities had been aroused by the
landings of Col and Mrs. Lindbergh on
waters in prohibited zones
The high authorities pointed out
that the matter quite naturally might
have been discussed in some circles but
nothing more
A report that Amy Johnson. British
aviatrix, who because of storms re-
turned to Osaka after reaching Fusan,
Korea, would be questioned by the
police had not reached government Of
hcialS tonight. However government
authorities expressed the belief that
she might be asked, as a matter of
routine regarding her route.
Flew Over Prohibited Areas.
The new agency said japanese au-
thorities commended that the famous
aviator and his wife had flown over
prohibited areas and had descended
twice In lakes where landings were
prohibited.
Rengo said it understood that au-
thorities who had been watching Lind
bergh's progress down the Kuriie
Islands commended the flyers had landed
not only on prohibited lakes, but also
on other waters not specified by the
aviation bureau in the emergency de-
scent permit which 1t issued at the
request of the American embassy prior
to Lindbergh's departure from Petro-
pavlovsk
Prior to leaving Petropavlovsk last
Wednesday the Lindberghs, from avail
able weather reports, concluded tricky
fogs might overtake them and on that
account applied to the American etn-
basgy for an emergency landing per-
init which was granted by the aviation
bureau without hesitation.
Unable 10 Locate Sites.
The permit designated Kakunabetsu,
Paramushir Island, and Muroton Bay,
Shimushiru Island, as emergency land
ing places. The Lindbergh's encount-
cred fog a few hours out Of Petro-

porting they had been unable to locate
the latter place through the fog bank.
After leaving Muroton Bay lest Sat

further denials that any harsh treat
ment was accorded the prisoner with
the hose or anything else Mostyn said
that the prisoner had been grilled for
40 minutes at the station house that
