New Haven, Conn.,, Feb. 7.-(UP) Field Marshal Sir John Greer Dill, chief of the British joint staff mis- sion to the United States, held the Yale University Rowland Memo rial prize today for his unique personal contribution to the coor- dination of the Allied war effort. !"
 Chief of Staff George c. Marshall, calling the award "a happy augury for the immediate future," said that fin my opinion the triumph over Germany in the coming months de- bends more on a complete accord between the British and American forces than it does on any other single factor, air power, ground power, or naval power"
 Gen. Marshall said he considered the Allied triumph over misunder- standing the Nazis had attempted to create was 'the greatest single AL lied achievement of the war I am tremendously encouraged to see Yale University honor the man who, in my opinion, has made an out standing, a unique personal con- tribution to the coordination of the Allied effort"
 Secretary of War Henry A. Stim- son said that in the war that we shall have to fight after the fight ing is over," the continued coopera- tion of linen of different tempera- ments, different roads and differ ent nations" will be of paramount importance.
 ''Sir John Dill is one of the most selfless of men in every act and thought that have ever seen," said Stimson. "He has been wise enough, he has integrity enough, to see that the best way to secure success for his own country, for the cause for which his country is struggling, is | to achieve cooperation and success also for the Allies and the people that are working with him. He is distinguished soldier"
 Tn accepting the award, the field marshal said the contribution of universities to the war would be known ''only when it is possible to write the scientific history of this war" He mentioned radar as one of the anfnounced contributions of scientists. Tn peace time, he said, higher education stood as "a per- petually mobilized and ever alert de- fenSe force against the aggression or encroachment of the forces of barbariSm"
