Hearing Set Friday
On Plea for 2-Cert
Rise in Milk Price
Producers to Cite
Comparative Low Cot
In Alexandria Area

A bearing by the Virginia State
Milk Commission On q petition from
the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association asking for q
7-cent-per-quart rise in the retail
price Of milk in the Alexandria and
Arlington area will be held at 1880
am next Friday In the Alexandra
City Council chamber.
A similar petition, filed by the pro-
ducers' association for a public hear
Ing on q milk rise request in Wash
ington, has not been acted on by
the Agriculture Department. The
petition was filed about three weeks
ago.
B. B. Derrick, secretary-treasurer
of the producers association, said
the low cost Of milk in comparison
with other food products will be
cited at the Alexandria hearing.
He added that figures will pe
given showing that the price Of
milk in stores has risen only per
cent in the last year and only ~
per cent for home deliveries, whereas
the overall rise in other food prices
has been about 80 per cent.
The milk producers, he said, are
handicapped by labor and transpor-
tation problems, adding that they
also are consumers and must bear
the rising costs Of other food
products.
Saying that 81 dairy farms have
ceased operation In the area since
October, Mr.. Derrick said farmers
themselves are taking defense Jobs
when they find they cannot get farm
help because Of the competition Of
war industries. II
Some farmers have gone out Of
the milk business and are turning
to producing foods where prices have
risen In proportion to the cost Of
living, he said.
M. H. Burchell, president of the
Alexandria Dairy, said all distribu-
tors serving the area would be rep
resented at the hearing and are ex-
pected to favor the price rise.
Mr.. Burchell said the distributors
are also faced with rising costs and
transportation difficulties. He added
that unless the producers expect to
split the increase with tho distYibu-
tors, If 1t is granted, they will ask
Tor another penny rise in retail price
for their increased cost Of distribu-
ton.
Spokesmen for other companies
serving the area said something
would have to be done to help the
milk distributors.
Since no consumer organization
has indicated 1t will attend the hear
ing, 1t is possible that no arguments
VIII be presented against the peti-
ton.

War Today
Time TO Strike
Is Now, Stain,
Beaverbrook Agree
By LOUIS r. KEEMLE
United Press War Anslyst

PREMIER STAINS refer

the whole hrunt Of the war in
the absence o. a second front
in Europc" f. less rcproach
than 2 broad hint 70 the Allies
10 strike now while the striking

Time. says Stain. is working

apparently means that If Ger

cover from ncr losses IN me
Russian campaign, the Allies
may be able 10 deliver the finish
inc blow by striking nov lie
cited staggering figures Of Ger
man losses 10 emphasize ms
point.
The same idea was expressed
by both United States Under
secretary Of War Robert Patter-
son and by Lord Bcaverbrook in
recent statements,
1T Is probable that Hitler
realizes this and expects the
Allies to make good on the I'M
piled promise Of Prime Minister
Churchill and President RooSe-
welt of an offensive in l943.
In that case. Hitler has the
choice of digging in for a last
ditch defense Of Europe or al
lacking first in a final desperate
bid for victory.
A passive defense Of Europe
would not be HitlerS logical
choice. He has the conqueror's
mania and is more likely 10
commit national suicide than 10
admit that his dream Of con-
Quest is over. Besides, his re-
sources are strained and II IS
doubtful if they could withstand
a long siege.
WHERE HITLER can or
would strike il is difficult 10 say.
Obviously il would have 10 be IN
the west. because he is finished
in the east. A blow through
Turkey al the Middle East is
highly improbable now that the
Caucasus campaign has coll
lapsed.
An invasion of England pre-
sents even greater difficulties, OF
course, than il would have in
1910.
It is not impossible that Hitler
might turn 10 North Africa,
through Spain. Reports h ave
come from Switzerland of heavy
German troop m rove m n I S
toward the Spanish frontier.
These reports may be taken with
reserve, but they are indicative
Of furry Of speculation sweep
Ing Europe. where there seems
10 be a feeling that something
big is impending.
ANOTHER REPORT says
German reconnaissance planes
have noted great activity at
English ports and a d j acent
coastal areas. The implication
Is that the Allies are marshall
ing for an invasion.
II is not beyond reason 10 be-
lieve that Hitler might try to
offset this by striking toward
Africa through Gibraltar. Rom
mel is already in a strong posi-
ton. II Hitler could come 10
his aid from the west, the Allied
campaign in Africa might be
stopped in its tracks and an
attack on Europe by way of the
Mediterranean averted.
