said. Reports came from the Mannerheim Line in the Karelian Isthmus that Russian forces had begun building concrete defenses at various points. 4 For the moment, it was reported, there was little more than sporadic artillery fire in the Mannerheim Line and long the eastern frontier. The Finnish lines held fast. Finnish sources said that several

thousand men from the Volga River|

area of Russia, of German descent, had been drafted into the Russian Army and were now fighting in Finland. Finns said that the presence of the Volga men might have led to recent false reports that troops of

German nationality were fighting

for Russia in Finland. Finns said that even when, as today, the Mannerheim Line was reported quiet the Russians often ex-

pended 5000 artillery shells in aj

gingle sector in a day. This, added to the necessity of taking food for scores of thousands of men and thousands of horses and transporting gasoline for tanks, had seriously taxed transport facilities, according to stories of Russian prisoners as quoted by Finns. There are but two railroads between Russia and the Isthmus, and few highways. :. Further, food must be supplied to an estimated 3,500,000 people of the Leningrad area and raw materials must be. transported for industry. For this there are. three railroads excluding the Murmansk Linne. The roads are clogged with traffic, the prisoners report, Prisoners who have worked in Leningrad factories say, according to the Finns, that the city is short on rations. Prisoners ‘are quoted as complaining that the food they got at the front was of poor quality. Neutral military quarters were in-

Key Town of Salla Reported Captured

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Jan. 5 (U. P.).—Press reports said today

that the Finns had captured the key town of Salla, near the Arctic Circle, after a two-day fight which in importance matched the battle of Lake Kianta in which the Russian 163d Division was smashed. A dispatch to the newspaper Berlingske Tidende from Stockholm reported that the Russians had sent up fresh troops in hope of stopping the Finns bu% had been unable to do so.

ECONOMIC CONTROL

| BERLIN, Jan. 5 (U. P.).—Hermann Goering, Adolf Hitler’s heir, today became an absolute economic dictator, with final authority to say what Germans eat, wear, save and produce. | His appointment ag head of the new Council for War-time Economy contradicted rumors abroad that he was in disgrace and gave him his fourth big executive job. - His other offices are: 1—Head of the four-year plan on which the war-time economic self-sufficiency drive is based; 2--head of the Ministerial Council for Reich Defense which decides the broad lines of war-time. policy; 3—Air Minister and commander-in-chief of the air force.

| He is additionally Prime Minister of Prussia, president of the Reichstag and in charge of forestry and hunting. Herr Hitler has designated him as Fuehrer “in case anything happens to me.” Money is needed badly to pay war costs, estimated by some Nazis at $40,000,000 a day. Millions daily are still being spent on extensions to the West Wall which Herr Hitler was quoted in the British white book

as having estimated as costing $36,000,000,000. 8 855)

the 3700 block of W. 10th St. was telling of the “nightmare” he had experienced. : : “I went to bed about 9:30 last night,” he said at City Hospital. “Some time during the ’night my son awakened me and said he had a headache. I supposed that he was getting a cold, so I put on pants and a sweater and went

It seemed like a dream. : “I don’t know.how long I was there, but the next thing I knew I was sitting in a chair in the kitchen. | I don’t know how I got there, I tried to move and I might as well have been chained. I couldn't. When I would even move a finger, it seemed as if it was slow motion— like in the movies now and then when they have a funny sequence. “Then I heard the knocking at the door as if in a nightmare. I knew I ought to answer it, but I couldn’t make myself move. It was with desperate effort that I moved toward the door and then everything went blank, “I came to in the cold and after what seemed to be a long time, I remembered my son was upstairs in the house. I told the firemen, and they rescued him. Then they brought us here.” : Mr. Jones smiled a little. “I hope I get out of here today.” i ” # 2 Fireman Richard Bryant, who rides the aerial ladder truck at Station 13, and ilves at 3708 W. 10th., was‘ destined for early morning excitement of several kinds. \ : His wife, Ruth, is the daughter of Mrs. Arthur Kennedy and the stepdaughter of : Mr. Kennedy, who live at No. 3722 and both of whom were overcome and taken to the Hospital.
