The Winter War... The battle of Taipale ends. Finnish forces have successfully resisted the Soviet attempt to break through the left flank of the Mannerheim Line in hand-to-hand fighting.

In Pretoria... General Hertzog, the South African Leader of the Opposition, moves a peace resolution in the South African Parliament.

From London... Britain and France warn that they will attack German shipping encountered by their navies in the Pan-American neutral zone.

In Britain... Following allegations by troop entertainers that ENSA's organization in France is in a "chaotic muddle," its officials are to report to the war office. Meanwhile, the large number of road accidents in the "black-out" leads to a reduction of the speed limit from 30 to 20 mph.
