HUSBAND SAYS
MISS EARHART
FREE AGENT

HONOLULU. T. H., Jan. s. U,p)-
George P. Putnam, publisher, and
husband of Amelia Earhart, in
formed the United Press today that
any flight from Honolulu to Cali
fornia his wife may undertake will
be entirely for her own satisfaction.
Putnam denied that the pro-
posed flight had any connection
with publicity plan focalizing at
tention on the Hawaiian sugar and
political situations. as published by
the San Francisco News.
Although admitting that his wife
had been approached by a publicity
organization, Putnam said that "ab-
solutely no commitment to under
take the flight was made"
Miss Earhart remains, as al
ways, free agent" he said. "She
never committed herself to make a
flight to the mainland and whe-
ther she now attempts one depends
on many circumstances.
But if she does it will be en-
tirely for her own satisfaction and
without any string attached. She
feels it desirable for women to at
tempt pioneering feats whether OF
not they have a scientific value.
1T is entirely agreeable to her if
her present activities are ignored.
Miss Earhart is lecturing on avia-
ton subjects in Honolulu and plans
to make several exploratory flights
in the Hawaiian area, Her land
type plane has been conditioned at
Pearl Harbor and its radio has been
tested thoroughly, the broadcasts
having been received as far east as
