VOTE DELAYED
 ON SERVICE TIME
Death of Member In House Caused Recess of Chanl=
 Der Until Tuesday
BY JAMES SHEPLEY

(Umted Press Stan correspondent
 Washington, Aug. II - (UP0 = The House recesses today in respect for the memory of the late Repre- sentative Alfred G. Rutherford, R., Pa, delaying a vote on the resolu- tion to extend the service of army men.
 It meets only long enough to adopt a resolution ting Rutherford, who died yesterday of a heart attack.
 Leaders claimed they had rallied sufficient support over the week -end to make them confident the house would extend the service of draftees, National Guardsmen, and reservists for at least 12 months.
 The resolution before the house would retain them for the duration of the emergency, but the leaders hold little hope of passing 1t in that form. The senate limited the ex- tended service to IS months and the leaders hoped they'd be able to per- suade the house to adopt that limit.
 From five to 10 representatives, previously uncommitted or opposed, have been won over by leaders dur ing the last "A hours. Some will sup port at least 12-month extension, others will go for IS months. Three amendments sponsored by Repre- sentative Dewey Short, R., Mo, were expected to crystalize the opposi- tion.
 One would remove the resolutions declaration that the national inter- est is imperiled; another would strike out the clause that removes, the existing 900,ooO limitation on the number of draftees in service at any one time; the third would strike out entirely the provision for an exten- sion of service.
 Representative Walter G. An- drews, R., N. Y., planned to offer resolution, declaring simply that the national interest is imperiled. This would bring into operation, he said, the provision of the selective service act which would permit President Roosevelt to retain the selectees as long as defense requires.

ORIGINAL LITTLE
 EVA IS BURIED
Mrs. COrdelia Howard Mac. Donald Was Child Star
 In Uncle Toms Cabin

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 11.-(UP) Funeral services were held here today for the original Little Eva of Uncle Toms Cabin"
 Mrs. Cordelia Howard MacDon- aid, who won Abraham Lincoln's applause in that role which she played as the Shirley Temple of pre- Civil war days, died Friday night while visiting brother at Bourne. She was 93 years old.
 It was on the night of Sept. 27, 1852-less than four years after her birth at Providence, R. I.-that she played the role of Little Eva in the premiere of the dramatic version of Uncle Toms Cabin"
 The old Museum at Troy, N. r., was the scene of Little Eva's first trip to heaven-a journey, via tele- graph wire, which was destined to bring tears to the eyes of millions of theater-goers in the years to come.
 The From show'' scored such a success at Troy that 1t moved to New York City and had a record run of 325 performances. After that it played in cities throughout the country and then went to England.
 I'm afraid I couldn't have had much to contribute to the satte, " unused Mrs. Macdonald in a recent interview. because since I retired in 1860 at the age of 12 I have never had desire to return to the the ater except as a member of the audience"

CHILE ARRESTS
 FIVE SUSPECTS
German Consulate PrO- tests-Accused Of Nazi
 Subversive Moves
BY WILLIAM F. HORSEY United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Santiago, Chile, Aug. 11-(UP)- Five suspected leaders of 8 subver- sive movement which government officials described as' Nazi, in char acter, were held in preventive arr rest" today over the protest of the German consulate.
 Diplomatic sources said there were indications that Nazi 'sputSch" to overthrow the government had been scheduled for mid-August. They pointed out that Ernst Wendler, German minister expelled from Be- livia, had sought permission to re- main in Chile until mid-AuguSt. Dr.. Paul Barandon, German consult general at Valparaiso who had been declared persona non grate to Chile, also attempted to prolong his stay.
 Although Osvaldo Saguez, director of investigations, had announced that the movement was directed by German clements, and the interior ministry had said that investiga- tions showed activities contrary to the Childean democratic regime, 7 Minister of Interior Arturo Olavar- ria said that it was not connected with any immediate attempt to disturb the public order"
 Arrests Were Made
 The arrests were made at Puerto Montt, chief city of Llanquihue province. Police charged Carlos Daehling, Emilio Running, and three others identified only as Kreuts. Hessey and Storkens. with membership in a subversive military organization and seized documents, mail and insignia.
 The men were members of Ger man sports association known as the Lanesgruppe. Citizens of the neighboring lake resort of Puerto Varas became suspicious of the Landesgruppe's activities and re- ported them to Paul Raul Valde- benito, who ordered raids on the associations headquarters.
 The complatnants gave Judge Valdebenito the groups badge, which portrayed lakes and vol canoes, typical of the Llanquihue region, and German swastika. The emblem had been seen previously in Santiago and was described by German sources as a pre-war sou ven3r of Landesgruppe meeting.
 The prisoners were held incom- municado despite objections by An tonic Olbrich, German vice consul at Puerto Montt.
