ANTICOMMUNISMI CHARGE UNJUST
Priest Defends CIO; Admits Some Leaders Cherish
 "Red" Principles

Communism, . word which has been hurled at c. I. o. leaders with reckless abandon of late, was de- fined last night by Rev. Joseph r, Donnelly as "a Goddess philosophy os life which advocates the estab. llshment of Q dictatorship of the proletariat in oil countries through out the world, through violent reVo- lution, in order to arrive at and pre- serve Q classless society In witch there shall be no private ownership of property" Father Donnelly was addressing an audience at the Wa terbury Catholic Labor institute on Communism and Union Labor"
 Following up his definition, the priest averred that although Com munistic tactics have tainted the en- tire labor union movement, the 0. I, o. is not Communistic, Com munists occupy strong positions in the organization, he admitted, but they are definitely not in control of the union.
 The Catholic church is lighting Communism, he said, because majority of Catholics are laborers. ''The spearhead of the hopes ot tle Communist forces in America is di- rected at the heart of the surglns labor movement which is sweeping the country" the priest said. since Catholics are mostly working peo- pie, the church Is fighting that at- tack without compromise and the Communists recognize in the church their most formidable enemy in America just as they have found 1t such throughout the world" he continued.
 The priest contended that the Communist labor leader is mot looking for Q day of cooperation be- tween employer and employe, which Is the Encyclical program. "Eie charged that the Communist does not want peace but class war, "fie asks for the impossible so that he might argue for force, He will work only for mid social reform through legislation so that he might insist on the impossihility of the re- form of social injustice through leg islation and the necessity of com- mon ownership and the violent means necessary to effect it."

The measure, under fire by the Democrats, was approved by the committee a few hours after a hear ing during which not one voice was raised in favor of the bill. Several legislators, mostly Democrats. op- posed the proposal at the hearing.
 The bill was heard at the same time the judiciary committee held a hearing on another gubernatorial measure which would grant the ex- ecutive emergency war powers. This bill has not yet been reported.
 The committee changed the bill slightly. Instead of calling it a gov- ernor's war cabinet measure. 1t de- cided to call the proposed group the Connecticut War Council. Members of the council, according to the measure, would be the elected off- cials of the state, and 10 to IA citi- zens expert in various fields as agri- culture, industry. fuel, and so on.
 Meantime, the military affairs committee held hearing on the third to the governors war meas ures, bill increasing the powers of the State Defense Council. Its chief proponent was Supreme Court Chief Justice William M. Maltbie, who ap- neared at the committees invitation. He said the bill was las carefully prepared as any bill you will have before you this session"
 Justice Malthie urged speedy pass age Of the measure because we are face to face with a very serious emergency" Justice Maltbie was chairman of the Defense Councils legal committee which drafted the bill.
 The House contested elections committee, meanwhile, decided to seek access to the report by State Referee George E. Hinman on his one-man grand jury investigation into alleged misuse of absentee bal- lots in the recent statewide election at Norwalk.

Our men indulged in some good- natured gripping when the going got too tough. But most of the time they talked of what they would like to be doing back home. Mothers seeking was the preferred topic. Many men had painted names of wives, children and sweetheartS on rifle-hutts and helmets.
 On ore advance up-eoast, our con. tinsent got lost in the jungle. Te trail was cruel. We had forded one river l6 times. We he'd spent nearly two hours crossing one morass in slime and water above our hips. When 1t rained, which was often, all our equipment had to be GOV. erede.
 EXHAUST NATIONS
 At night we slept restively. The monotone of pouring rain was broken only by the rearing of planes overhead and the wheeling of mos- quitoes for the attack.
 We had even reduced our "C" rations, but they gave out even- tually. As I ate the last bit, I thought of my mothers admonition when was youngster:
 Some day you'll be glad to have what you have to eat now" She was right, as usual.
 We got our of the jam by follow. small mission there we found an. Ing a river down to the sea. At 6 other unit which gave us Q place to sleep an dour first real meal in three days.
 Although we could see their air patrols every day and occasionally heard distant bombing by our own planes, we had reason to believe our own advance still had not been de. tected.

I know, because have just come back from there--the first Ameri. can civilian to return since our sol. diers took over major role in push- ing the Japanese across the noun. tains and jungles to the sea at Buna.
 AS an accredited war photographer I accompanied our forces from the time they left Port Moresby until, sweeping up the northeast coast, they closed their side of the trap on the enemy.
 From the very first, 1t was appar- ent that there were to be no heroics about the job. When the Japanese last fall, pushed to within S6 air. line miles of Port Moreshy, the hardest thing we all had to do was wait.
 So we waited in and around Port Moresby for marching orders. Work was plentiful. upplies had to be unloaded and distributed. Living quarters were improved constantly. There was training to adapt our men to mountain jungle conditions they would have to meet.
 JAP RAID A RELIEF
 Our U. s. Engineers, many of them Negroes, were busy cutting Jeep trials through virgin jungles and mountains to uor jufping of point. The only relief from mos- Quitoes, flies, heat, rain and work was the daily Jap air raid,
 Meanwhile, the Australians were driving the Japanese back up the ,rail ard across the mountains. We heard Kokoda had fallen and then, after Australian Commandos en. tered Coma, we got the signal to start.
 This was real war--minus the shooting. There was no sudden death. But neither was there any sun, nor water to drink; nor rest, for long hours which often added up to days.
 There was only the interminable struggle with the jungle. Every foot was won with terrific exertion. With hevay knives the men hacked and chopped through dense, matted vines and undergrowth. They strug- gled along with field packs through thick, sharp kunai grass, seven to

 A mile in two hours was making good time. At the start, rest periods were 10 minutes out fo every GO. This was soon revised to 10 minutes In every 30, and stlll wasn't enough.
 And there were other things. Mos- quitoes which bored In Ike Stukas, flies in swarms, rain which streamed down prodigally. Streams and deep, rushing crocodile infested rivers had to be crossed and recrossed dozens of times. And rarely was there Q dry place to sleep or anything but strongly chlorinated water to drink.
 All were rested. Our next move would be to stab northward at the under side of Buna, where the Aus trallans were already closing their arm of the pincers.
 HOME COOKING RECALLED
 So skillfully had the Americans moved into position that the Japs had no idea we were there.
 Hoping to run Into action which would make good picture material I started going out with our patrols. Like the soldiers I wore Q green camouflage uniform. My cameras went along in Q duffle bag.
 It was Q typical jungle. On my first patrol we covered only 2S miles in two days. After the first two or three hours soldiers frightened their packs.
 At night we fashioned our own beds. The base was two six-inch- wide logs laid parallel the width of @ pallit. Across these went branches and twigs. It was the only way to avoid awakening with your head lYCier water
