BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press War Correspondent.

LONDON, Jan. 10.-A British Of
fensive against Italy to checkmate
Germany's long-threatened invasion
OF England is being spoken of as a
possibility by military circles here
as the result of recent developments
In the Mediterranean.
Victories by the Army of the Nile,
as well as by Greek forces in AL
bania, have brought widespread
speculation that the end of italian
resistance In North Africa may be
near.
Once the North African campaign
Is cleaned up, some observers be-
heve, the Royal Navy and Air Force
may open widespread attacks on
italian ports and military centers in
an all-out attempt to bring Italy
to the point of surrender or revo-
luton.
Behind the navy and air force
would be Britain's Army of the Near
East, ready for an invasion of Italy
either across the Mediterranean or
the Adriatic.
So long as fighting on the Eastern
front remains localized in North
Africa and Albania, the Germans
can afford to discount italian re-
verses as having no real bearing
on the outcome of the war, military
analysts point out,
Should Italy be threatened by in
vasion, however, Germany would
find it necessary to strengthen her
ally by diverting not only planes, but
troops to Italy, they said.
A beaten Italy, it was added,
means British bombers operating
from Italian airflelds and British
troops in the Brenner Pass.
The military advantages which
Britain would derive from knocking
Italy out of the war would be
equalled by political gains, these
observers contend, strengthening
British prestige in the Balkans and
giving new spirit to nations now
under German domination.
Subject of Conjecture.
Neutral military men said that the
number of troops Germany would
have to send into Italy to make her
formidable enough to resist invasion
successfully-or even to salvage her
armies from North Africa and AL
bania-is a subject Of conjecture.
They point out that after Capo-
retto-where the italians suffered a
smashing defeat at the hands of the
Austrians in the World War-the
British sent three army corps total
ing about 100000 men and France
sent hundreds of guns to hold Italy
for the Allies.
Even the German Army hardly
could divert that many men to Italy
without halting plans for an in
vasion of Britain, these analysts be-
Geve.
Moreover, should events reach the
point where Germany would find
herself impelled to rush aid to Italy
to save her axis partner from out
right invasion, it is pointed out, she
scarcely would be able to move
sufficient warships or submarines
into the Mediterranean to challenge
British naval superiority there.
Neutral military men agree that
any attempt by the British to shift
the main theater of war from the
western to the eastern front would
be a bold and ambitious move.
They recall, however, that the man
now directing Britain's war strategy
Is the same Winston Churchill who
conceived similarly ambitious plan
during the World War-the Allied
attack on the Dardanelles.
In his writings he still stoutly
maintains that his original plan
would have worked had the army
and navy listened to him. They
have to listen now.

 Hartford, Conn.,, March 27- (UP) The resistence by State Comptroller John M. Dove to ad- ministration suggestions that he reorgani2e the distribution of the lucrative state insurance policies has caused tremendous surprise in some quarters, and an awakening to the fact that Dove has moved into the Democratic picture as a powerful leader.
 Dowe's stand against the ad- ministration trio of State Chair. man John T. Mccarthy, New Haven Leader John Golden, and Senate Clerk John Fitzpatrick- who sought to divide the state insurance on 8 decentralized basis rather than the single-headed system in effect for the past six years-leads to these conclusions:
 Dove, the big gun in Che Demo. cratic party in the four eastern counties of the state, has formed an alliance with the Hartford organization headed by Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy, and other leaders. In addition, through the appointment as Deputy Comptrol- Ter of Rep. Raymond s. Thatcher, D., East Hampton, Dove has also perfected an alliance with Middle sex County.
 Rep. Thatcher Is an ally of Middlesex County Commissioner Joseph F. Bransfleld, Portland. who yields strong power in that area. The Hartford organization claims control of a great portion of Hartford County. Moreover,
