News Analyst Doubts
Allies Can Defeat
Germans Until 1914
Steinkopf Says ItoIy
Muy Be Knocked Out
This Yeor, However
r. re Associated Press


CHICAGO, Feb. l7.-Alvin J.
Steinkopf, who helped cover Ger
many Tor the Associated Press anG
watched the German armies fight
expressed the opinion today that
the United Nations would not be
able TO defeat them in 1943.
We may be able to knock out
Italy this year. Mr.. Steinkopf said
in an address at meeting of the
Inland Daily Press Association
But the fortress of Europe is a
very real thing and I do not believe
we will be able to crack it and de-
feat the Germans until 1914"
Mr.. Steinkopf, now radio news
analyst, said 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
spectacular Russian advances.
once the German armies reach
their defensive lines, they will make
a much stronger stand" he pre-
dicted. Il don't doubt that the high
command is prepared to give up
Italy, Norway, perhaps part of
France, to carry out its strategy"
These conclusions were based on
the supposition that Germany, with
food and supply situation appar-
emily much better than that Of 1918
would not collapse internally MI
Steinkopf said. He added aerial
bombing might hasten internal dis
integration, but that the German
people were held together by great
fear-that of invasion by the bitter,
Tengeful people Of the east.
They know the eastern forces. the
Russians, Poles and Czechs, will burn
houses and cut throats if ever they
get into Germany" he said. so
when invasion comes I think the
Germans will give way first in the
vest. They would rather have their
country occupied by Americans and
British than laid waste by hordes
from the east"

British Labor Revolt
On Beyeridge Plan
Menaces Unity
Porty May Demand
Withdrawal Of It's
Cabinet Ministers
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. Feb. 1.-THE Labor
party revolt against the govern
ment on the issue Of the Bever-
idge social security plan grew to
such proportions today that the
London Star said it threatened
"a serious blow to national unity"
The newspaper added that It
might even result in defeat for the
the House of Commons.
The London Standard suggested
that labor'S feeling might become
keen enough to demand a with
drawal Of Labor ministers from the
government unless real effort was
made to meet their point of view"
No Threat to Churchill.
1t was emphasized, however, that
this furor should not be interpreted
as jeopardizing Prime Minister
Churchills position as war leader
1t may result in forcing the govern
ment to accept the Beveridge plan
more fully, and at most might cause
some changes in the composition of
the cabinet.
Commons entered the second day
of its three-day debate on the Bev-
erldge plan with the dissident
groups determined to force the gov
ernment into greater concessions.
An excited secret meeting of the
parliamentary Labor Party preceded
the House session, but action on a
motion of censure was delayed until
tomorrow.
Dissatisfied with the outline given
yesterday by Sir John Anderson.
lord president of the council and a
member of the war cabinet, of the
governments proposals for legisla-
ton based on the report. the Ad-
miniStratiVe Committee of the Labor
Party introduced a motion in Com
mons demanding an early imple-
mentation of the Beveridge plan.
Speech Called "Obscure."
The Evening News termed the
Anderson speech as "lukewarm" and
Obscure
Sir John had said the government
would seek to enact as much of the
Beveridge plan as possible "in prin-
ciple.'
If the government persists in its
attitude and the Labor Party men,
bers who met today decide to sup
port motion disapproving the gov
ernment's attitude, it would mean
rift in Mr.. Churchill's coalition
government Of which the Labor
Party is a member.

Minister; Ernest Bevin, the Labor
Minister, and Herbert Morrison

Concerned About It I
RELIEF SAID NEEDED
One OF Largest In County
May Be Forced To Sell
By First OF The Year

"The business men and
other residents of Whining
ton should become gravely
concerned about the present
milk problem" said R. w.
Galphin, county agent, when
speaking to the Farmers Club
at their monthly meeting
Thursday evening. 'All of us
will be hurt and should be
concerned. If the diaries of
this county are forced to sell,
it will create an immense
problem here" continued Mr..
Galphin.
According to a local dairy
farmer there were 10 dairies
in New Hanover county in
1887. Now there are seven.
Dairy business was a million
dollar industry of this coun-
ty formerly; now there is ac-
tually less than one-half mil
lion dollars in actual use.
Much of the dairy equipment
is tied up because the dair-
les aren't operating. Much of
this equipment and herds
have been sold, this farmer
reminded the others.
Otto Leeuwenburg, operator Of
the Leeuwenburg Dairy, one of the
largest in this county, told the
farmers present that he and his
brother would be forced to sell
their dairy and herd in January
if relief wasn't granted them.
Feed prices are increasing con-
stsntly," Mr.. Leeuwenburg said.
. Two years ago we paid $50 for
concentrates and now they are $73.
Two years ago hay was $22 ton

If our dairy is sold at auction, 50
per cent of our herd will go out

will hurt the county"
