TRIPLE DRIVE
NEW ATTEMPT TO TAKE LENINGRAD PLANNED BY GERMANS. SERVICES IN MOSCOW CHURCHES (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, April 25. The British United Press Stockholm correspondent says the Germans are pushing on hurriedly with a tripledrive plan to take Leningrad this year. The German armies encamped south of the city’s boundaries since the winter of 1941 will, it is believed, make the main thrust. A second thrust will be made by sea and a third by the Finns, who thus far have evaded all demands for such an attack. Bearded priests, swinging incense burners and sprinkling holy water, moved among the greatest congregations seen in churches since the Revolution, says the British United Press Moscow correspondent. Thousands of worshippers, mainly women, waited all night in Moscow's score of blacked-out churches. The services included a special Requiem Mass for the war’s dead, prayers for the armed forces and for victory.
