tChairman Dies said yesterday that
Joseph P. Lash, former executive
secretary OF the American Student

cause of bis connections with or

program
Mr.. Lash denied. however. that I've
ever was q member OF the Comnu-
mist party, Representative Dies con-
tinued. and said that at the time
Of the Berlin Moscow pact he broke
with organizations which the COM
mittee contended had Communist
connections.
The committee voted to trans
NIT its records on Lash to any ma
tional defense agency asking for
them, including his draft board .

action cannot be remotely construed
as whitewash"

In New York. Mr.. Lash issued

recently I was informed that my
application for commission had
been denied. I thought that the
wisest thing for me to do was to
wait until 1 was drafted I
look forward to entering the Army
and shall be proud to serve with the
millions of other young Americans

The ships, 1t was believed, were
part Of the same concentration the
Dutch command yesterday said had
been attacked by high-level and
dive bombers which scored II direct
hits on ships.
Today's communique said two di-
rect hits with 660-pound bombs were
scored on the liner, and these, sup
plemented by several near misses,
caused the big ship to turn over.
Return WItn0ut SCfatCn.
Another 660-pounder scored d.
rectly on another large transport,
the communique said, while the de-
stroyer was hit with several 100
pound explosives.
The Dutch airmen, who struck
from secret air bases deep in the
Borneo jungle. said they returned
without receiving a scratch to them
selves or planes.
The Straits of Macassar, in which
these blows were delivered, are the
most probable route for a sea borne
Japanese attack on the rich Borneo
oil district about Balik Papan.
The Dutch have announced. how
ever, that the Japanese would be
wasting their time If they attempt a
landing at Balik Papan. All reflner-
les and oil installations already have
been destroyed, it was stated two
DAYS ago.
The eight ships reported yester-
day to have been hit were large

heavy cruiser, a light cruiser, q
destroyer and four other transports
and smaller ships.

said Japanese aerial activity over
Dutch territory had been limited
to insignificant raids today at
Samarinda. on the east coast of
