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-

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.

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.
