(U.R) Survivors of seven of 10 Allied merchant vessels totaling more than 62,000 tons, which have been sunk in the South Pacific by German raiders due Jng the past four and one-half months said today that at least two of the German ships were disguised as Japanese vessels, They said the German raiders, in considerable numbe appeared to be operating under a unified command and were powerfully armed and well-supplied by armed store ships ac companying them.

(U.R) The first bombs of the New Year crashed in the London area early today in a resumption of air raiding which had been virtually suspended since the destructive attack on the capital's old "city Sunday night. The roar of enemy planes over London was heard for the first time a few minutes before midnight, although air raid warnings had been in effect for some time. Anti-aircraft batteries opened up, and then a heavy bomb hit in one business district.

A long period of quiet followed the dropping of bombs in London and the all-clear sounded early this morning. For several hours last night and early today raiders frequently were over Liverpool and other towns in the Mersey Valley. It was their first appearance in that section since Friday, and they dropped bombs there for the first time since carrying out heavy night attacks a few days before Christmas, One bomb demolished a block of buildings. A caretaker's wife was reported buried in the wreckage. British night fighter planes were said (o be in action, possibly accounting for the scarcity of antiaircraft fire.

A solitary raider dropped a high explosive in a small village of North Wales early today, destroying several cottages and slightly injuring some of the occupants. London authorities were organiz- (Continued on Page 2, Col. 1) Stanford Overcomes Lead Twice To Win, 21-13 Albert, Patrick Star For Rival Teams By R. C. SAMUEL.SEN The team that can fathom the most discussed football system in years, Coach Clark Shauglmessy's T-formation is yet to be found.

Nine teams couldnt do it during the recent Pacific Coast season and yesterday Nebraska's Cornhuskers were posted as Victim No. 10 as Stanford's Indians triumphed in the 26th annual Tournament of Roses classic in the Rose Bowl, 21 to 13. Heroes Of The Day It was a game, played in perfect weather, that sent a capacity throng of 91,000 persons nut of the huge stadium talking to themselves and recalling the names and deeds of little Pete Kmetovic, 173-pound halfback whose speed had the Huskers jittery all afternoon; of Frankie Albert's quarterback generalship for Stanford; of Vike Francis powerful plunges as Nebraska fullback, and of some of the most vicious blocking ever seen in any stadium. It looked sad, very sad for Stanford's confident rooters right at the very start for Nebraska' red-shirted gridders had a touch- down, a conversion and seven points in the first four minute of play. The slashing drive of 53 yards, involving but eight plays, took the Cornliusker straight down the field aftrr Francis received Albert's kickoff on (lie Nebraska 28-yard line and returned the ball to his own 47.

From there it was Francis virtually all the way as Huskers are back accounted for two successive 14-yard runs, two of shorter distance and a dive over the goal line from the 2-yard line. Francis also converted from placement to put the Cornhuskers out in front, 7 to 0, to the wild delight of 10.000 Nebraska rooters in the stands, 5000 of whom had made the trip here from Lincoln. Stanford's supporters were completely dumfounded by the con-summnte ease with which the Mid-westerners scored. It was a mere breeze. It hadnt happened before during last year's regular season.

Had Stanford's Achilles Heel been found at last? Answer Is No The answer is no. Nebraska scored again in the second period, largely because an opening wa iven on the fumble of a hu kcr punt, but the rest of the game was all Stanford's. Coach Clark Shaughnessy's baffling formation, a style of attack well known in grandpappy's day but streamlined up to the minute as demonstrated yesterday, simply had not had an opportunity to express itself. Nebraska had the ball from the outset and kept it. After an exchange of punls Stanford got its chance when Kmetovic! returned Harry Hopp's kick 13 yards to the Nebraska 47.

Little Iete Immediately put on a speed-burning act and took the ball yards to the Cornliusker 18. Hugh Gallarneau lost two yards but Kmetovic, who wa credited wilh the remarkable average of 9.2 yards in the game, picked up 11 yards to give Stanford possession on the Corn-husker 9, The Indians had four downs to make the touchdown but only one was needed as Gal- (Turn to Page 10.

Tell of Suffering The survivors told graphic stories Of suffering and heroism when they were landed at an Australian oort today after being rescued from lonely Emirau Island in the Bismarck Archipelago. They told how the master of one British vessak armed with a single gun, fought a fast and heavily armed raider until two thirds of his crew had been killed and his ship was a mass of flames: how another ship was shelled and set fire immediately after she had Ignored an order from a German raider not to use her radio and how another vessel was torn apart hy eight direct hits, two of her of-fieers killed and her master blown from his bridge and knocked unconscious.

Official testimony was being taken from a number of survivors who said the German vessels masqueraded under Japanese names and flew the Japanese merchant flag. Record Comments The survivors said the raiders Carried voice recording equipment to make record of the comment of prisoners for use as propaganda. Despite use of the Japanese flag find Japanese names painted on their hulls, the survivors said, the raiders definitely were identified as German freighters.

5) Holiday Toll Less Than Week Ago By UNITED TRESS The nation's New Year holiday fatality toll from highway accidents and other forms of violenee mounted toward 200 Wednesday night but that was almost 100 less than at the corresponding time at the close of Christmas observance a week ago. Traffic Toll Heavy The United Press nationwide survey indicated that rt least 14fl persons died violently during the festive New Year's eve celebration and the first day of 1941. Nearly 75 per cent of these deaths 101 were caused by traffic accidents on highways crowded by holiday travelers and made dangerous by almost countrywide rains. Miscellaneous causes, including shootings, tires, suicides and train-suld crashes, accounted for 40 deaths. Still uncounted in the over-all total, but undoubtedly dead, were four or five members of a Utah skiing party who were trapped beneath tons of snow and ice by a snowslide that cut a great swath down the mountainside of a favorite ski slide.

New York Leads New York led the slates with 21 deaths, 13 of them in traffic accidents. Illinois had 19 deaths reported. California 19, Pennsylvania 11 and Michigan and Iowa 9. More Nazis In Ruman ia ZURICH, Jan. 1.

State Relief Battle To Be Resumed This Morning Promptly this morning at Sacramento a special joint legislative committee will begin the 1941 effort to untangle California's relief and social welfare problems. Next Monday the Legislature will meet in regular biennial session, after having held five special sessions in 1940 devoted in large part to these problems. In a poll conducted by the United Press on major issues confronting the 1941 session, the first returns indicated that most of the members of the Legislature may be found to favor return of re lief control to the counties. Three other plans will be under consideration. One is to continue the present organization.

The second is to retain state control but combine the state relief administration with the social welfare department The third is a joint state-county plan. The large Los Angeles County delegation, with the backing of the Governor, will oppose the plan to return relief control to the counties. Los Angeles County fears that state aid will be reduced if slate control is removed. The Governor does not want his SRA wiped out, even though it has brought him most of the trouble. that has dogged his administration.

Added now to a hostile Legislature are the two men who were Governor Olson's "top sergeants- less than two years ago, as well as the most popular of his state relief administrators. Dr. H. Dewey Anderson, Governor Olson's first favorite and first relief administrator, now characterizes his former leader as a cheap politician unable and unwilling to squarely face his duty." John R. Richards, the Governor's second friend and former finance director, joins with Dr.

Anderson and S. G. Rubinow, rceently discharged and most popular of the Governor's relief administrators, in saying Mr. Olson continually has made a political football of the relief administration. Mr.

Rubinow told the investigating committee at a recent meeting that the Governor had told him to cut relief allowances and blame it on the Legislature. The Governors response to all these charges is1 a general denial and a counter-charge that these former friends and favorites of the administration are vindictive because they are no longer holding office under him. The reply will have to be a great deal more ample and specific to satisfy the new session of an anli-Olson Legislature. Meanwhile it is to be hoped the Legislature will not go too fast or too far in shifting the relief problem to the counties. One need not be a believer in highly centralized government to see at a glance that complete county control would bring new problems and abuses to take the place of the old.

Joint state-county arrangements, with a possible combination of SRA and welfare branches, is the reasonable solution. Fortunately, it is also the sort of compromise which intelligent leaders of the Legislature may be able to work out. W. L. B.

The row over steel production just ried at the Justin Dart Ranch near Rimrock, Ariz.

The announcement, typical of Miss Davis who makes it a habit to inform the press direct of events in her life that might prove of interest to the public, caught the movie colony flatfooted. Even her studio's corps of press agents was unaware of the marriage and most of them were unavailable to give the marriage the usual rousing Hollywood sendoff. The telegram from Miss Davis said, "Arthur Farnsworth and I were married at eight oclock Tuesday evening at the ranch of Mr. and Mrs. Justin Dart In Arizona.
