OF Resignation 10
Letter Forgery Charge
Ry the Associated Press.

Louis r. CLAWS, former chief In
vestigator for the Senate Commit
tee Investigating the Rural Electrifl-
cation Administration, said today
his resignation had mo connection
whatever" with a challenge of the
authenticity of letter supplied the
committee.
Mr.. CLAWS told a reporter he
submitted his resignation on April
"a to Chail man Smith of the Senate
Agriculture Committee, Stating he
was compelled to devote more time
to private affairs and that the REA
investigation was virtually COM
pleted.
"An attempt has been made to
connect my resignation with a ques-
ton raised about one of the thou
sands of exhibits and documents
which I supplied for the REA COM
mittee during the investigation, and
it's distinctly unfair because there
was no connection" Mr.. CLAWS de-
clared. THE letter matter didn't
even come up until two days ago
and my resignation was submitted
April "a, as the records will show"
The letter in question was pur-
ported to have been written by
Robert Craig, former REA deputy
administrator, but Mr.. Craig, Ill in
hospital, said in a statement sub
mitted to the committee yesterday
that it had been "concocted."
Mr.. Craig was represented in the
letter as having said he was CO.
operating on "blockbuster" to dis.
credit Harry Slattery, REA admin.
istrator. The letter purportedly was
written to Mr.. Craig's secretary.
Mr.. CLAWS said the disputed let.
ter was furnished him by Mr.. Slat.
terry. In labelling it "concocted," Mr.
Craig asserted the incident showed
the extent to which some one will
go In an attempt to frame me-"
Meanwhile, Carroll L. Beedy
counsel for the committee, said Mr.
Slattery would be called before tn,
committee, probably next week, fol
questioning about the letter.
Beedy Says He Has New Data.
1 Mr.. Beedy told Acting Chairman
Shipstead and Senator Gillette
Democrat, Of Iowa, only member
present at an afternoon session O.
the Investigating Committee yes.
terday, that he had new information
about the letter.
! The question of the authenticity
of the letter was termed by Senator
Gillette "a most serious matter" ano
one in which the committee should
get all of the facts.

Nazi Bombing Raids
Show Anxiety Over
Expected Red Attack,
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 19.-Reports Of
heavy Nazi bombing of Russian
communication lines in Eastern Po-
land reflected mounting German
anxiety today that the Red Army
is massing strength to break long
lull in land fighting with a new
smash on the central front along
the shortest line to Berlin.
The Berlin radio reported "con-
centrated attacks" on rail yards and
trains at Sarny, Rowne and IDOL
bunow, the last about 10 miles south
Of Rowne.
Earlier the Russians announced
bursts of action on two sectors of
the eastern. front as reports from
both Moscow and Berlin continued
to dwell on the theme that renewal
of battle on grand scale was close
at hand.
Important Height Captured.
The Russians announced capture
OF a height of considerable impor-
tance" southeast of Stanislawow, in
Old Poland, and the Staying of 600
Germans who attempted a counter
attack in the lower Dnestr region
northwest Of Tiraspol
These actions were recounted in
q Soviet communique, broadcast
from Moscow and recorded by the
Soviet monitor. The height, uni
Identified, apparently was in the
Carpatthian foothills.
Fighting also occurred southeast
OF Vitebsk, White Russian citadel.
and In an unnamed sector where
Red Army troops beat off several
attacks and wiped out two COM
panies," the bulletin said. It de-
clared, however, there were no i'm
portant changes on the front yes

Mountain Operations Seen.
Moscow dispatches, meanwhile,
talked unofhcially of preparations
for big mountain operations on the
Carpathian front, and Berlin said
a Soviet attack was brewing on the
Lower Dnestr.
A German commentator for the
