Attorney
To Speak
On Training
Affirmative Side
To Be Presented
Tonight in Fenton
“Training or American Security
and Citizenship,” the affirmative
side of universal military training,
will be discussed by Hex Kimmell,
deputy attorney general for the
state of Oregon, tonight at 7:30 in
room 3, Fenton hall.
Kimmell asked the educational
activities board for the opportunity
to speak, after retired Brigadier
General Herbert C. Holdridge
talked on the negative side of UMT
last month. Negative arguments
purported by Holdridge are expect
ed to be challenged by Kimmell to
night.
tioiuriuge ,\gainsi
Holdridge regarded UMT as un
realistic, unsound, and dangerous.
It was his opinion that there is not.
one valid argument in favor of the
program from the angle of national,
security, national militarism, or in
ternational relations.
Kimmell, who has spoken on the
subject previously in Oregon towns
and cities, was an enlisted man in
World War I. He claims it will “be
a privilege to dispute a general.”
Calls It a Challenge
From 1930 to 1933 he was assist
ant United States district attorney
for Oregon. He assumed his pres
ent post of deputy attorney general
last year.
General Holdridge, when speak
ing on the campus January 22, con
sidered UMT a plan for war which
would teach every American boy to
think like a soldier, fixing one uni
versal pattern on each of then'
minds.
“We cannot let this matter pass
unchallenged,” said Kimmell in re
questing a speaking date. He has
been a member of the American
legion for 28 years. He received his
law degree from the University of
Idaho.
