Lewis Shuns Today's C. 1. 0. Chiefs’ Parley On Labor Truce Plan Murray’s Peace Talk Stand Assailed; Council Seen Indorsing Proposal By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Jan. 24—The de- cision on a proposed labor truce for the duration of the war was placed before the C. I. O. Execu- tive Councii today, with John L. Lewis, C. I. O. founder and first president, standing stiffly aloof. But his brother, A. D. Lewis, chairman of the United Construc- tion Workers’ Organizing Commit- tee, was among the conferees, The peace proposal, understood to have emanated from the White House, was reported to call for a three-man committee from the Con- gress of Industrial Organizations and a similar group from the Amer- ican Federation of Labor. The com- mittees would consult together and with the White House on jurisdic- tional disputes and other matters relating to labor’s participation in the war. Washington sources understood that the A. F. L. already had in- dorsed the plan through President Willlam Green and Secretary- Treasurer George Meany, who con- ferred with President Roosevelt this week. Roosevelt Writes Murray. President Philip Murray acknowledged he has received a let- ter from President Roosevelt re- garding peace suggestions and said it would be placed before the coun- cil today. (In Washington, it was report- ed that Mr. Murray already has indorsed the truce idea for the C. 1. O. and would recommend its adoption today.) Meanwhile, Mr. Lewis flatly reject- ed an invitation to attend the meet- ing and present his views. Earlier in the week his suggestion that C. I. O.-A. F. L. peace negotiations I:nzv reopened drew the sharp comment | from Mr. Murray that any such plans should originate through his office. “I will not attend your board meeting,” Mr. Lewis told Mr. Mur- ray in a letter made public in Wash- ington. In a sharp reply to Mr. Murray’'s stand on initiating peace plans, Mr. Lewis said: has | NG STAR, WASHINGTON, Dutch Again Blast Jap Ships; Liner Upset, Two Others Are Hit Large Transport and Destroyer Pounded In Second Smash BY the Associated Press. BATAVIA, Netherlands Indies, D. C, Jan. 24—Dutch Army bombers in a second consecutive smash at Japanese ship concentrations in the Straits of Macassar, capsized a large passenger liner off Balik Papan, East Borneo coastal oil center, and scored direct hits on another large transport and a destroyer, an official announce- ment sald today. The ships, it was believed, were part of the same concentration the Dutch command yesterday said had been attacked by high-level and dive bombers which scored 12 direct hits on 8 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 Without Scratch. Another 660-pounder scored di- rectly on another large transport, the communique said, while the de- stroyer was hit with several 100- pound explosives. The Dutch airmen, who siruck from secret air bases deep in the Borneo jungle, said they returned without receiving a scratch to them- selves or planes. Communism Charge Barred Him as Officer, Lash Tells Dies Group Notified of Coming 1-A Draft Status, He Says | He'll Serve Gladly ¥ By the Associated Press. ! | Chairman Dies said yesterday that Joseph P. Lash, former executive secretary of the American Student Emon, had informed the rouse ittee on Un-American Affairs that his application for a ndval etommission had been rejected be- cause of his connections with ;or- ganizations the Dies group aalls | Communist-dominated. i | Mr. Dies said Mr. Lash testified | at an executive meeting of the cém- | mittee Wednesday afternoon at the | witness’ request. Other officials said | the committee agreed to hear him |at the instance of Mrs. Roosevelt, ' who is one of the sponsors of the | International Student Service, of which Mr. Lash now is national secretary. Mr. Dies said Mr. Lash had con- | firmed a committee finding in 1939 that he had attended board mee:- | ings of the American Youth Con- gress, described by the committee | as Communist-dominated, and wus in substantial agreement with fts| program. | Mr, Lash denied, however, that he & ever was a member of the Commue nist party, Representative Dies con- tinued, and said that at the time| of the Berlin-Moscow pact he broke with organizations which the com4 mittee contended had Communist | connections. ) SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1942, mada, vice war minister, told a Diet committee hearing bills to grant subsidies to civilian ‘srmament manufacturers that arms employed by the Japanese are superior to the world level both in quality and quantity. Maj. Gen. Seeichi Yamada, chief of the Army Bureau, told the same committee that naticnalization of the arms industry of Japan was not necessary at present because of the favorable prdgress of private manu- {acture of armaments in this coun- Ty.

Japanese air raiders also sank one naval auxiliary in port and heavily blasted important military objec- !l‘ves, the communique said. It re- ported one hangar was set on fire and two fires were started in other establishments. Ranging against enemy shipping, the Japanese said, their naval air- craft on January 20 and 21 sank one 2,000-ton vessel in the vicinity of Penang Island and one of 4000 tons | and one of 6,000 tons in the port of | Belawan, Sumatra. “Ports and ofl depots were set on fire,” the communique added. “Sugdr (Continued From First Page) | mand increased to such an extent | that a full month’s supply was ex- hausted within a week.

No such delegation of power has been given you by the constitution of the C. I. O., by any legislative convention of the C. I. O., nor by any device of parliamentary pro- cedure. To the contrary, the third constitutional convention of the C. I. O. specifically conveyed this, authority to three of its representa- tives, designating them by name.” | Convention Action Cited. | Mr. Lewis went on to say that a recommendation for continuance of the committee was unanimously | adopted by the convention while Mr. Murray was acting as presiding officer.

The sgatements widely cir- | culated that the undersigned (Mr. Lewis) acted in the premise without proper authority therefore fall of their own weight.” Then, turning to published reports that he had reached an agreement concerning a peace plan with the A. F. L, Mr. Lewis told his old-time friend: | “Your letter and your public statements imply that without con- sultation I have taken it upon my- self to assume the authority to blue- print some plan for labor peace b tween the C.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. I have no commitments of any character to any one that affect any phase of this ‘problem.” Not a Member of Board. After saying that he would not attend the meeting, Mr. Lewis wrote: “I am not a member of the Ex- ecutive Board. The -board has no power to negate convention action. If the members of the board desire to act constructively and in the interest of our membership they could, with advantage to all. ap- prove any one of three alternative ! suggestions as follows: | “A.

Submit the question of partic- ipation in further negotiations to a referendum vote by secret ballot of the members of each of the thousands of local unions affiliated with the Congress of Industrial Organizations.” Then Mr. Lewis concluded “with my personal compliments and good wishes.” | | | Probe Death of Prisoner An autopsy was to be performed today to determine the cause of the death of Thomas Francis Donnelly, 53, who was found dead last night on a cell bunk in the 1st precinct station, where he was being held for investigation.

M Tells of Escape Natives Aided Officer Injured on Beach After 35 Hours in Shark-Filled Waters (When the Netherlands Indies went to war with Japan a Dutch submarine was poking through the Gulf of Siam, keeping peri- scope watch on four Japanese troop transports heading for the British Malaya shore. (When word was received that the war was on the submarine fired its torpedoes. The four Japanese ships went down with about 4.000 soldiers. Days later the submarine struck a mine. There was one survivor. The following is the story of his es- cape, issued through Aneta, offi- cial Netherlands news agency.) fi \ | j | 1 By QUARTERMASTER C. DeWOLF. | BATAVIA, Jan. 24 (Aneta to (#)). | —It's still hard to believe that I survived that experience in which | all my mates lost their lives. The| night it happened we were cruising on the surface to investigate a light on the horizon. There were six of us in the conning tower, our cap- tain, myself and four other officers Suddenly a blast seemed to lift the sub out of the water and all six of us were hurled into the water. Stunned by the explosion but for- tunately uninjured, I began to swim around looking for the others. The captain had vanished. but the other four officers were still with me and able to swim. We started swimming according to directions we haa re- ceived from our capfain in case of emergency. All of us were driven on by the frightening knowledge that all the dark water around us was infested by sharks. We rid ourselves of clothes. After 12 hours three of the men had to give up exhausted and sank below the waves. The other officer and I could give them no as- sistance because, we ourselves were desparately tired. A few hours lmerj he, too, was swallowed up by the sea. In Water 35 Hours. I had now been in the water 18 hours and no land was in sight. My arms ached and I was desparatel drowsy, but somehow—one can't ex- | plain such things—I kept going. T swam throughout the night and the next day. Apparently ihe sharks were busy elsewhere because I saw nope | Finally I saw land. As I got close to the shore—my strength was prac- tically gone—a wave threw me on the rocky beach where a rock cut me badly in the back. I had been in the water 35 hours, as far as I could figure. For several hours I must have lain half conscious, but eventually I| was able to stumble forward. After | several hours of this painful walk- ing, I sighted a number of natives.
