It was during the fierce fight
ing on Feb. 7 around Schmidt,
Germany, that Jenney perform
ed his greatest deed OF heroism.
He volunteered to lead
strong squad of men to wipe
out a fortified house which was
holding up the advance OF the
3lOth Infantry. The fierce en-
envy mortar and machine-gun
fire that met the scouting group
put all out of action except Jen-
ney.
Despite the fact that he had
no support, the Warren soldier
declined to withdraw and con-
tinued alone towards his objec-
tive, armed only with AS CAL
iber pistol and some hand gren-
AIDES.
After entering the house he
was bayoneted in the back and
side by a hidden German soldier,
whom he grappled with and kill
ed.
The young CT then commenc-
ed stalking the Germans hidden
in the house, facing their fire
from the upper floors. he
emptied his pistol several times
and used up all his grenades,
narrowly escaping the bullets
aimed at him, which punctured
his helmet and tore his uniform.
Despite his bayonet wounds,
Jenney continued to hold the
house until American troops ar
rived, and then, before submit

Purple Heart for other wounds
received, and on April rs was
sent to Bad Wildengen, Ger

wounds which subsequently
proved mortal.

 Jersey City, N. J.. oct. 25-CUP)- Local draft board No. l6 agreed to- day after eating army rations that war Is hell unless your cousin Is the company cook.
 The board members dined last night on army "K'' and 70" rations at Jersey City's Belford Inn, at the invitation of six former draftees, most of the "drafters' were gagging before the dinner was through.
 Their hosts watched and laughed, Boy. is this fun" said ex-Cpl. James De Lorenzo.
 He was watching bald-headed man slowly choke on Q hunk of cheese. That's Joe Michalski." De- Lorenzo said, "He's secretary of this draft board, churn. yea, The same outfit that sent me tramping for three years overseas with the fifth army"
 Mlchalski was game. He clutched the box of TX" rations with one hand, while he poked grlnly at his cheese with the other. Eight affil- iates of No, i6, including three doc- tors and woman clerk, sat glumly beside him. Some ate, and some just sighed.

'Okay,' we said, when we get back, we'll just give-em some of what we get to eat" so after this K chow, you get some nice cold e ra- tions." e'
 By this time Michalski had all but disappeared under the table.
