SAYS MAJORITY OPPOSE IRI Man Who Spent Two Years In Guinea Has His Say Be fore Military Affairs Group Washington, Dec. 20 U.R) A recently-discharged army ser geant who spent two and a half years in New Guinea and the Philippines told the House Mili tary Affairs committee today that the "vast majority" of com bat soldiers are opposed to uni versal military training. Ggt. James F. Donnelly, Boon ton, N. J.; made an unscheduled appearance as the committee held its last hearing before the Christmas recess on a bill for universal training. Gagged By Army As the committee prepared to recess, Donnelly rose In the au- $3 98 BROS Bicycle Store' PHONE 3472 dlence and asked to be heard. He said the army had forbidden him to make his views known but that "now that I'm a civilian again I can stand without fear of army regulations before you gentlemen and exercise this priceless heritage freedom of speech." The committee told him to go ahead. Donnelly was In uniform but said he was discharged from the army last Oct. 11. He said that while he was overseas he heard a great manv army officer's make speeches in favor of peacetime training. It seemed to me a very alarming and dangerous depar ture from American democracy (and) I decided to do what I could to oppose it," he said. Punishment Threat He said he wrote Sen. Albert W. Hawkes, R., N. J., but that the letter was returned to him by the army as a violation of army regulations. Furthermore, he said, he was threatened with court martial if he wrote any thing further against compul sory military training. Donnelly said he finally got a letter to Hawkes when an army chaplain to whom he appealed put his censor's stamp on it. He said the first chaplain to whom he took the letter consid ered it "too hot to handle" and declined to help him send It. "Before it's too late," he said, "let's recognize this universal training bill for whqt it is the military leaders' bid for power. It is much more dangerous than we can possibly imagine." Donnelly said he had been in the army four and a half years and was overseas two and a half years. He served with the 24th division. NEARLY ENTIRE TURKEY CROP ESTIMATED SOLD Christmas shipment of tur keys the past ten days has been brisk and shippers estimate that 75 per cent of the turkey crop of Jackson and Josephine coun ties, estimated at 130.000 birds, has been sold, County Agent Eobert G. Fowler reports. Value of the crop is estimated at be tween $750,000 and a million dollars. Many growers in the two coun ties did not receive as much as expected due to the military service curtailment of orders, and over-production throughout the nation. Shippers estimate that growers netted from 55 cents to $1 per bird. BIRTHS BURT To Mr. and Mis. Hugh, Grants Pass, Dec. 20, 1945, a irl, 7 pounds, at Sacred Heart hospital.

G:P.-G0LD BEACH Grants Pass, Dec. 20 Plan ning for eventual connecting roads between Grants Pass and Gold Beach by way of Eden Valley and Agness, a survey crew is now mapping out a pro- posed link from Agness to Wild horse, according to Don Camer on, civil engineer for the Siski you National Forest. This link would connect from a proposed bridge across the Rogue at Agness. The forest service hopes to eventually have connection by road from Grants Pass to Gold Beach by way of Mount Reuben, Eden Valley, South Fork of the Coquille river, and Agness. One survey for a bridge site near Agness was made last March by the Bureau of Public roads, but Cameron said Tues day that the site to be used has not definitely been selected. New construction work now jmder way in the forest includes a new 142-foot span across the south fork of the Coquille river on the Powers-Agness road. Two others will be built on this road, one at Cole creek and one at Elk creek. These three bridges will be two-lnne spans instead of the usual one-lane bridges ordinar ily used on forest patrol roads. The wider units are necessary to accommodate the heavy traf fic in log hauling now under way. A 32-foot bridge across Shel ley creek on the Patrick's creek road has been completed above the Patrick's Creek Tavern. Under way now is construc tion of a new approach to the Redwood Ranger station at Cave Junction. Principle pur pose of the new approach Is safety, said Cameron.
