War spurring Maintenance of British herds

(By Edward Robinson, Associated Press Staff Writcrl

LONDON, Jan. 5 -— tAPi-‘The war is spurring, rather than deter- ring, the maintenance of Britain's world-famous cattle herds and it has raised the prices of both cows and horses. .

‘The battle of the Atlantic has recently swung so much in favor of the allies that a good deal of planned slaughtering has been avoided, .

Foundation stocks have been kept nearly to the pic-war level, breeds have been improved through selec-

live breeding; and the loss of (ruernscy and Jerscydierds on Channel Islands-seized by the

Between Nazi Leaders

Generals fail to see eye to eye with ,Hitler.

(By Robert E. Bunnelle) (Associated Press Strut Writer) LONDON, Jun, 5—(AP)-¢lucreas-

ing dlssensron between Hitler and his wintcr-wom Nazi generals was reported reliably tonight as the So- viet high command announced a. steady turning of the German flanks on the central Moscow front. _

A foreign source with information from "an irrefutable agent abroad’ said that Hitler's dismissal of the supreme German commander, Field Marshal Gen. Walther Von Branch- itsch, was the third such affair irr- volving key military leaders who dis- agreed uver Russian strategy.

Field Marshal licdor" Von Bock. central front commander", was said to have asked to be relieved for “reasons of health" after the his.’ German November offensive on Moscow, expressly ordered by Hitler, back-fired.

Russian sources reported some time ago that Field Marshal Sieg- mund List had replaced Von Buck on the front where the Russians now are threatening with encircle- nient s. Nazi army of rhaps 100, 000 men based on lvo al Mozhalsk, 5'! miles west of oscow.

A third case cited was that of lira-Gen. Johannes Blaskoivrtz, for-

was tnittmrv ruler of Bohemia, who

vice in the Pollsn Varlrp;

Gen. Blaskowitz, upon I-litler's plan for invadin irssla. was said to have declared e “want- ed no part of it" and asked, for" a

r his scr- caring cl

discharge. The General now IS “liv- have (lrlvcn across the River Oka

rug in Paris as a private citizen."

Repercussions from Von Branch- itschs dismissal were continuing. this informant said. Geri. Oscar Von Niebenna er, chief of the depart- ment of t e east under Von Branch- itsch and a firm admirer of the field marshal. was said to have been dismised.

Unconfirmed reports also were cited that three other Nazi enerals had asked to be relieved on he fro- zen Russian front.
