Key Defense Position Brest-Litovsfc is a key Soviet defense position. It controls a road system which leads around the vast Pripet marshes which form a natural barrier between Germany and Russia. One road leads northwest to Minsk and another southeast to Kiev, already heavily bombed by the luftwaffe.

President Philip Murray of the Congress of Industrial organizations and President William Green of the American Federation of Labor joined in asking congress to defeat legislative proposals intended to check strikes in defense industries. In separate letters to congressmen, both labor leaders urged them to kill the Vinson bill calling for a 30-day "cooling off" period for mediation and other curbs on labor action. Murray also asked defeat of the Connally "draft property" amendment to the selective service law and said congress had received no proposals, "more dangerous to the basic precepts of American democracy."

Since January 10, there have been 55 daylight sweeps over this area, including seven in the last seven days in which 98 enemy planes and 28 British planes were shot down. Only two British planes were shot down Sunday.

British sources believed that the thinned luftwaffe lines in western Germany and Europe would face constant air conflict with stronger British forces during the Russian war unless the reich is forced to shift her air forces again and thus lessen her aerial strength in the east. Any such development would be welcomed by Britain as increasing the chances of military success of the Red army.
