Shanghai Plot 10 Escape
By 20 Nazis Is FoiIed
BY the kssociotcd Press

SHANGHAI, July A plot by
about 20 German nationals to es-
cape from the formidable Ward
Road Jail was foiled today when
American Military Police intercept
ed messages being smuggled through
heavily bribed Sikh guards.
The Germans included some of
the leading Nazis in China, among
them members of the widespread
espionage net, Bureau Ehrhardt.
Baron Jesco Won Puttkammer was
placed in solitary confinement as the
alleged ringleader in the escape
plot. Won Puttkammer was once
chief of the German information
bureau in Shanghai.
High-walled Ward Road is one of
the largest and most modern prisons
in the world. It was reputed as
escape proof until three years ago,
when a small party of Allied pris-
oners, led by United States Navy
Comdr. Columbus Darwin Smith of
Atlanta. Ga, dropped over the wall
after months of planning.

Council Hits McGehee
az
Housing Bill Change

House passage OF the Districts
slum clearance and urban redevelop-
ment bill minus the McGehee sub
committees definition of low-rent
housing, was called for today by
the Citizens Council for Commu-
nifty Planning, Inc
The council, which lists 80 civic,
professional, religious and labor
groups as members, supports the
Senate version of the redevelopment
bill for determination of public
housing needs by public hearing.
The McGehee subcommittee of
the House District Committee has
reWorded the bill so that, according
to the council. standards of rent
and eligibility would conflict with
those already passed by Congress
both nationally and locally"
The McGehee amendment, the
council said, calls for public housing
on 1.-The basis of an arbitrary in
come figure without relation to
present or future housing needs or
conditions" and for a census of net
family incomes. The latter provi-
sion was branded by the council as
IAN unwarranted invasion of pri-
vacy of all residents"
If the bill is passed with the Nc
Gehee amendment, the council pre-
dicted, "it is improbable that any
low-rent housing could be built, and,
if any, certainly not for many
months"

Two-Pronged Attack
On New Merger Plan
by the Associoted Pres,

Navy-minded lawmakers outlined
a two-pronged attack yesterday on
the latest plan for uniflcation of
the land, sea and air forces into
a single cabinet department.
First they directed Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy w. John Kenney
to prepare written brief on Navy
objections and carry this to the
Presidents desk.
Second they opened a fight on
pending legislation, approved by the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
with backing of the War Depart
ment, as not following President
Truman's explicit recommendations
for compromise.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of
Massachusetts,, chairman of the
Naval Affairs Committee, outlined
this strategy to reporters after a
second consecutive day of closed
door testimony.
Witnesses yesterday included Act
ing Secretary Kenney and Ferdi-
nand Eberstadt, New York City con-
Sultant who has devised compro-
mise that calls for a separate Army,
Navy and Air Departments, each
with cabinet representation.
President Truman has asked for
speedy congressional action on the
single department plan several
times and recently announced a
White House compromise which he
expected naval as well as Army
leaders to support.
The Military Committee plan was
revised after the announcement but
Senator Walsh insisted today that
1T does not carry out the President s
Intentions
Senator Walsh and other members
Of the Naval Committee said the
merger plan is dead at this session
Of Congress. Senator Walsh said that
after the Navy completed its new
opposition brief he plans to call
leaders of naval air power to testify
at hearings.
