"training under war conditions."
Hundreds of thousands of anti-parachutists and other air raid workers in every region of the Soviet Union have been practising through-wut the spring period in warding off mock attacks on their towns and villages, Measures taken under the mew labour laws introduced last year for increasing production, particularly ¿n factories working for national defence, have been intensified now.—Reuter.
