War Review
Shows Allied
.Ascendancy

LONDON, Dec. 30 - up -
The autumn of 1912 marked
"the passing of the general stra-
tegic initiative from the hands of
tn Axis to the United Nations"
in far-flung land war, the third
annual review of the conflict by
the British War Office said to-
day.
mot only was the oriental
partner of the Axis fully occu-
pied and on the defensive in his
own sphere at the years end,
but the European members of
the Axis themselves were on the
defensive" the review declared.
The war review pictured the
North African campaign and
Russia's huge winter offensivcs
as smashing Germany's hopes of
"a creative pause" before spring.
The year also "vouchsafed the
encouraging evidence that the
British Army. given adequate
material and under leadership
emerging from the hard school
of experience, is more than a
match for the enemy" it said.
In the high tide of its often
sives earlier in the year, the re-
view recalled, Axis forces had
swept through the South Pacific,
plunged deeper into Russia and
smashed back the British to Ell
Aiamein near Alexandria
Then, the war review contin-
ued, came "the first signs that
the Axis flod might be turning
to ebb." These were the beating
back of Field Marshal Erwin
kommels attempt launched
Aug. 81 to break the British line
at Ell Alamein, the Russian de-
Tense of Stalingrad, the u. S.
landings in the Solomons and
the Allied offensive in New
Guinea.
Then followed the rout of
Rommels Army first at Ell Ala
mein and later at AL Agheila,
the launching of four great Of
fensives by the Russians, the
Americans victories over the
Japanese in the Solomons, and
heavy losses inflicted on the en-
envy by air and sea power in
many areas of the global con-
flict.

Survey Made to Probe
Widely Spread Rumors
Investigators Travelled More Than
1900 Miles to Moks Survey

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30-(R)
The Office of War Informa-
ton, whose investigators trav-
eled more than 10000 miles in a
coast-to-coast survey of drink
ing conditions in and around
Army camps, reported today:
There is not excessive drink
ing among troops, and drinking
does not constitute a serious
problem.
owl said it undertook the
survey ito investigate rumors
which have gained wide cur
rency, and to provide the Amer
lean people with honest and ac-
curate information about the
millions of men who are doing
their patriotic duty in the armed
services"
REACH CONCLUSIONS
The investigators concluded
that:
/. The sale of 80 beer in
army camps is a healthy and
sensible arrangement. The fact
that there is vastly less drinking
among soldiers in this war than
in the last-a fact almost uni
versally agreed to by comman-
ders and civilian authorities
alike-may stem in part from
this sale of beer in camps. In the
last war camps were bone dry.
AS a result, bootleggers did a
thriving business.
2. No American army in all
history has been SO orderly.
Conceding hazards and pit
falls" in any investigation of the
liquor problem, Owl COM
mented:
First, various imponderables
do not lend themselves to sta
tistics. Second, much OF the tes-
tmony is necessarily suspect:
wishful thinking and pre-judg-
ment have a way of interfering
with factual reporting on moral
issues. This is true of both con-
WINGED vets and convinced
drys. They have, in sandlot Ian
guage, already chosen sides.

Logic Behind
3 to ! Odds

PASADENA, Calf. Dec. 30
(P) - Expert opinion seems
agreed there is really sound log
ic behind those 81 odds that
Georgia beats U.C.L.A. in the
Rose Bowl New Years Day.
There is no yardstick of COM
parison. The Bruins and Bull
dogs met no common foes. Geor-
gia, a team of veterans that won
20 of its last % games, establish
ed numerous yardage and scor-
ing records in 1912. BY many it
is regarded as the greatest pass
ing outfit in the history of SOU
thern football.
Dixie newspapermen with the
team here are unanimous In
their belief Georgia rates a de-
cided edge. They take into con-
sideration, too, that the Pacific
coast champion always gives q
good account of itself, even to
the point of winning the last
five Rose Bowl games.
But nearly everywhere this
was an off season in football.
Many players whose presence
in the lineup would have been
the difference between victory
and defeat answered the call for
the biggest scrap of all time.
Upsets were the rule rather than
the exception. Most observers
agreed the two best teams In
the nation were Ohio State and
Georgia.
Jeff Cravath, University Of
Southern California coach, takes
the floor for the instant. Jeffs
team scored two touchdowns
against Ohio State, one against
U.C.L.A. says jeff:

that Wally Butts has the better
material and the records show
he has made the most of 1t. Sure,
I'd like to see U.C.L.A. win, but
I pick Georgia, unhesitatingly."

flat.ery had this to say:

the possible solutions are still in
