If the exterior of your refrigerator
is porcelain enamel, clean it with mild

Place Cords Carefully

Cords should never be run over
radiators or steam pipes. Check your
needs carefully before you make your
purchases and insist on cords designed
for use in damp places and where con-
tact with metal is likely to occur. The
dealer will help you select the proper
type. Avoid the very dangerous prac-
tice of running cords under rugs or
placing them in door jambs. The outer
coverings become abraded and worn
and the insulation breaks down caus-
ing short circuits.

Royal Air Force bombers re-

While the bombers were un-

attack communications.
The raid on Lorient followed
up a double-barreled assault by

Doubts NaZi
Defeat in

CHICAGO, Feb. II - (PD -
Alvin j. Steinkoff, who helped
cover Germany for the Associ-
ated Press and watched the Ger
man armies fight, expressed the
opinion today that the United
Nations would not be able to
defeat them in 1943.
1--WE may be able to knock
out Italy this year." Steinkopf
said in an address prepared for
delivery to a meeting of the
Inland Daily Press Association.
But the fortress of Europe is
a very real thing and / do not
believe we will be able to crack
it and defeat the Germans un-
til 1914"
Steinkopf, now a radio news
analyst, said that so far the
fighting had been just on the
fringes of the fortress. Germany
is withdrawing to strengthen its
military position, he asserted,
and it is this withdrawal which
makes possible in part the spec
tacular Russian advances.
"Once the German armies
reach their defensive lines they
will make much stronger
stand" he predicted. II don't
