SITUATION AT KIEV
CONFIDENCE IN MOSCOW
Rec. 1.15 p.m. LONDON, December 16. Moscow correspondents say that it would be premature to regard the German attempt to regain Kiev as ter-1 minated. The battle of the bulge is still in the balance, but there is complete confidence in Moscow that General Vatutin has the situation in hand. One correspondent says that while the Germans continue to throw in new tank forces they may gain more ground, but that their chances of capturing any strategic objectives are negligible. The Germans tried to exploit their success after the capture of Radomysl, but the Russians countered the attacks with massed artillery, smashing 28 tanks and five armoured vehicles in a two-hour barrage.
