-SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH”

MOSCOW, SEPT. 28 (UP).—THE POSITION AT LENINGRAD APPEARS TO HAVE SOMEWHAT IMPROVED ON SUNDAY. DISPATCHES REPORTED STIFFENING RESISTANCE AND THE GROWING STRENGTH OF THE RUSSIAN COUNTER-ATTACKS. IN SEVERAL SUB-SECTORS THE RUSSIANS BROKE THrough the Nazi defencES CONSISTING OF SEVERAL LINES OF TRENCHES 150 METRES APART AND SEIZED THE FORTIFIED POSITION.

The Germans appeared to have advanced nowhere. The "Red Star” in a dis- .patch asserted that Leningrad itself had become an invulnerable bastion and that every inhabitant had become a warrior. The city's approaches consist of an elaborate system of barricades including dug-outs and pillboxes which are everywhere.

Factories have been organised on military lines and individual shops are now constituting companies and platoons under the command of former managers.
