WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 (TP) !
Soviet Russia has promised to
meet the rising allied demand
for Red army action by hurling
some three army groups against
the Germans on the eastern
front.
The forthcoming offensive as
is expands probably will involve
up to six army groups and its
route may wen dc across tuo.

The Red army high command

starting date, Soviet sources In
Washington said.. This could not
be confirmed in American mili

dence that the allies are. counting
on the upcoming winter drive.
Informed sources said tne pro

aligned Red army forces. Since
last summer, when the Lenin
grad front, three Baltic, three
White Russian and lour Ukrai
nian fronts were in action, the
lineup of Russian armies has
been a mystery.
