The Winter War... A pair of Finnish Fokker fighters destroy a formation of 7 Ilyushin bombers over Utti, 60 miles northeast of Helsinki.
In Oslo... The Norwegian government rejects the Soviet claim that Norway is pursuing an "unneutral" policy. (A claim made on January 5th.)
In the Heligoland Bight... German ships depth charge the Royal Navy submarine Undine.
In Dublin... Eamon de Valera, the prime minister of Eire, is calling for new emergency powers to aid a nationwide crackdown on the IRA. The move follows an Irish High Court ruling which set free 53 men detained under the Emergency Powers Act. An amended and draconian version of the act has been proposed in the Dail, the Irish parliament. The amended act would allow the government to arrest and detain suspects without trial.
In Britain... Dogs are reportedly wearing bicycle reflectors on their collars to boost their visibility in the blackout.
