Soldier of Today j ; Said to Be Soberest In NatioiTs History o Washington, Dec. 30.?The Am-, - erican soldier, understanding Ihc "i gravity of war, avoids excessive - drinking and is the most orderly - fighting man in the nation's history,! - the office of war information vepor-1 c | ted tonight, after a coast to coast sur vey of the U. S. military areas. Investigating widespread rumors' n'that drinking in and around "army r' camps has become so serious that - "service carousals arc hampering our i- training for war." OW1 observers -1 traveled more than 12.000 miles thru i- areas with large troop concentrae tions. They visited New England, the - Midwest, tiie Pacific coast, the South west, and several southern states. - They said these three conclusions stand out: 1. Drinking in military areas is not a serious matter. 2. A positive factor in army sobriety is the sale of 3.2 beer in post exchanges on camp grounds. 3. No American army in all his1 tor.v has been so orderly. The report was in effect an answer to Senator Lee (Dent., Okla.) and others in and out of congress who backed his unsuccessful amendment to the recently-approved teen- age : draft bill, which would have instituted prohibition in military areas to counteract alleged excessive i drinking.
