FIERCE AIR BATTLES
RUSSIANS KEEPING UP THE PRESSURE (Rec. 12 40 p.m.) LONDON, April 18. Reuter's,Moscow correspondent says' the Russians appear to be keeping up the pressure against the Germans in the Caucasus pocket, but the ' (Red Star ' reports that the Germans have thrown in reserves and are reattaching at various points with big infantry forces and tanks. Fierce air battles are going ou along the whole front. The Russians undoubtedly will throw the Germans from the Taman Peninsula, although there is stiff fighting ahead of them, says Reuter. The Germans on the Donete front have not given up their bid to capture .the important Soviet bridgeheads on the right bank of the river, and the Russians are watching the position carefully. ' Izvestia ' says the Germans still have considerable air resources, and the danger of air raids has not passed. The whole population of Moscow must spare no efforts to improve the anti-aircraft defences. The civil defence services must maintain absolute readiness.
