MAY NOT BE v EQUALLED
VIOLENT FIGHTING
HARDSHIPS IN LENINGRAD
(Rec. noon.) LONDON, Sept. 24,
The battle for Leningrad, in which, according to the Soviet spokesman, the fighting has assumed such proportions that in number of participants and casualties it is not likely to be equalled even in this war, continues with increasing violence. The latest Soviet reports state that the Nazis were driven back in one sector with the bayonet, while the Russians charged through artillery fire to retake a vital bridge. The Stockholm correspondent of "The Times" says that the people of Leningrad are reported to be suffering great hardships, not so much from actual shelling as from interruptions in the water and electricity supplies which have disorganised the public services. From Finland the environs of Leningrad present a terrifying sight, especially at night, when incessant firing and the explosion of Russian and German shells Is seen across Kconstadt Bay.
