"FINNS MOP UP ON FL

ANOTHER OF RED BASES WRECKED ‘BY SKI PATROLS

War Material Captured From Soviet Armies Used Again by Defenders.

. By WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent

HELSINKI, Finland, Jan. 9. —

Scattered remnants of the Russian.

44th infantry division fled into

Russia today, leaving thousands of.

their dead carpeting the forested - road for miles, reports from the Suomusalmi Front said. Finnish patrols were in the wake of the disorganized Russians, mopping up. They found many wounded Russians who had frozen to death before aid could reach them, according to reports. In bitter cold and deep snow, the Finns on their skis rounded up small detachments of the Russians in the forests of the frontier area where the 44th had been smashed, as the 163d Division had | been smashed earlier. Russian Base Destroyed

Additional quantities of war material were found and added to the vast store whose capture had been announced yesterday, it was said. For military purposes, the Finns asserted, the 44th Division had ceased to exist. In the Far North Finnish ski patrols penetrated far behind the Russian advance lines and destroyed a big Russian base at Jordanfoos. Frontier reports said they might prejudice seriously the position of the Russian -advanced forces on the Petsamo front. On the Karelian Isthmus, preclsion firing by two batteries of Finnish artillery and two anti-tank crews smashed another concentration of Russian troops moving up to attack the Mannerheim Line.

Use Captured War Material

The magnitude of the Finnish victory against the 44th Division increased with realization here that it almost certainly ended, in view of the weather, any Russian drive for a considerable time toward the Gulf of Bothnia, to cut off communication along the vital railroad supply line to Sweden. The cutting from time to time of the Murmansk Railroad by small - Finnish patrols carrying dynamite made the task of reassembling big Russian columns in the North one of enormous difficulty. All the vast amount of war material the Finns captured in their victories over the 44th and, earlier, the 163d, can be used by the Finns to fight the Russians. Fortunately for “them, the Finns use the same caliber guns as the Red Army, and it was suggested here that this might not have been entirely due to chance.

Field Marshal Remembers

Field Marshal Baron Carl Gustav Mannerheim, Finnish commander in chief, and many high staff officers who fought the Russians in the same regions in 1918, and stopped them, in the Finnish War of Independence, had not forgotten that then most of their war material was captured from the Red Army. One time recently I pointed out to an officer the difficulty of getting ammunition from abroad quickly because the Finns used different calibre guns from those of the supplying countries. “Yes, but the Russians use the same calibres,” he replied.

tion on which to build greater gains.” The | inference from the President’s | speech—or rather what he

left unsaid—and from those else-

trusted ‘lieutenants, Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson, recently nominated Attorney General, and Secretary ‘of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace was that, if no suitable candidate is found to whom the mantle can be tossed, then the President, himself, may run again. The design was almost perfect.

President Gives No Clue

The President did not announce he would run again—no, nothing of that sort. But, at this annnal party feast celebrating a President to whom the present Chief Executive likes to compare himself, a President, who stepped down after two terms and hand-picked his successor—the luckless Martin Van Buren —Mr. Roosevelt had the most appropriate occasion to withdraw himself. | He did not. Last night's political talking was being done elsewhere, in Cleveland, and PD and Des Moines, and in Raleigh, N. C., and in others of the 45 communities which honored the memory of Old Hickory at from $10-3-Hinte up.

MeN utt Praises President

Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt spoke in Raleigh, his first big appearance before a Southern audience since announcing a definite Presidential candidacy—provided Mr. Roosevelt does not seek a third term. His speech attracted immediate attention because it was a 100 per cent New Deal utterance coupled with fulsome praise of the President. “No wonder,” Mr. McNutt said, “the American people are reluctant

to have the President relinquish his

high office.” But he did not urge his leader to linger ‘after Jan. 20, 1941, which is the | next inauguration day and political observers read his remarks as a purposeful answer to those inner New Deal critics—sugch as Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes— who already are organizing a “McNutt won't do” chorus because they fear he is not a New Dealer at heart.

Jackson Sees New Lincoln

“He is our Lincoln.” said Attorney General-Designate Jackson of Mr. Roosevelt in the most forceful thirdterm appeal of them all before Cleveland diners at $25-a-plafe. The phrase will become a catchword of the third term drive. And Mr. Jackson compared the President to Old Hickory, too, and found him to be “another such leader of the people.” He’said there no longer was danger that Democrats would nominate a conservative and he waved ‘“take-a-walkers” on their way, as did Mr. Roosevelt in his address here. So Mr. Jackson said, it was inevitable that the party now would first turn again to Mr. Roosevelt. “I do not ‘know what his answer will be,” he said. “But I do know what the rank and file of Democrats and of citizens generally hope it will be. I am one whotearnestly hopes that he will not announce to the public or even make within himself any decision gt this time. “Why should President Roosevelt become the one man in all public now committed to accept or not to accept a nomination.”

Mr. Roosevelt chided Republican

leaders—Senators Charles IL. MecNary (Ore.) and Warren R. Austin (Vt.), and Representative Joseph W. Martin Jr. (Mass)—for rejecting the invitation he dictated for them to attend last night's Washington dinner as honored guests. The speeches began with several good-natured jibes at potential Presidential candidates for 1940. Democratic Committee Chairman James A. Farley, in introducing the President, addressed his “fellow candidates,” and Mr. Roosevelt prefaced his remarks with: “Mr. chairman, ladies and gentlemen, and candidates here and candidates there.”

President in Good Humor

Mr. Roosevelt's address | was pitched in a key of democracy’s purposeful unity but spiced with good humor and without hint of his own political intentions in 1940. Because of dbs ophical character, the address amused somewhat less enthysiasm fhan have the President's hard hitting political or campaign utterances. L4st night it was different—a defense of the fact that “I hold ‘party lines less tenaciously than most of my: predecessors in the Presidency” —and a-confession that: “I like to think that most American Governors or Presidents have seen the . . . opportunity in their office and that their motives have been primarily of service rather than of party or personal aggrandizement.”

Warns of Canned Optimism

He jibed just a little at the enemy, asserting that the Americans who swallowed canned optimism in 1929 will not swallow canned pessimism today—“particularly out of the same can.” And he called the role of New Deal social, economic, agricultural and other achievements with a word of assurance that the people “are glad the Government of the United States is daily becoming more useful,

There was the merest hint perhaps in his laughing assurance that “there is really a lot of fun in this j ob. ” But what linked the Jackson ad-

dresses together was the plea for liberalism and the thought expressed by Mr. Roosevelt and others that it was the independent, the stay-at-home and the Progressive |S vote which made possible the triumphs of 1932-36 and which must

be success in 1940. That was the burden of Mr. Jackson's earnest third-term plea in Cleveland and of Secretary Wallace, at $10-a-plate in Des Moines. Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.), who hopes to head the 1940 ticket, spoke in Denver. He paid brief tribute only to the President but much to the accomplishments of the Administration in general, salted with a reminder that he had opposed the New Deal in the Constitutional battle over the Supreme Court in these words: “We have made mistakes—those that always attend the necessity for action—we Democrats made mistakes and we Democrats will correct them. During the next five years our Party will perfect and consolidate the reforms and advances of the past seven years. And we will do it within the constitution of the Untied States.”

understanding has centered around tactics chosen by both Germany and the Allied powers in Western Europe. It has been sonsidered certain, because. of the Nazi ‘air strength and the superior resources of the Allies, that the outbreak of war

g| would coincide with a locust-like

flight of bombing planes across European skies; with vast civilian and military casualties and perhaps even an onslaught by Ger‘man armies through Belgium in an effort to strike furiously before either Britain or- France was ready. That was the theory of “lightning war”. attributed to the German High Command and employed in Poland. It was a picture of “total” wars that had been drawn vividly and which, as usual, proved far different in application on a big scale. This difference created a general suspicion that it was a “fake” war. As a matter of fact, the struggle in Europe is an intelligent and uncompromising application of totalitarian warfare by both sides in its most vicious form and along the lines where it is most effective. There is no whir of wings over Europe; there are no battered

fighting along the Western -Front,. The engagements were still limited : to patrol activities and artillery bar- * rage but it appeared the Germans ° had suffered considerable casualties .. in attempting to test the French : lines.

Two spots—Scandinavia and the = . Balkans—continued to hold the cen-.-ter of \attention in connection with threats of new war moves but there did not appear to be any increase in. - immediate danger.

Most significant, perhaps, was a bitter attack by the Nazi newspaper Voelkischer Beobachter on the “ufi-" friendly attitude toward Germanys of the Finns. At the same time,’ it. was reported that Germany was: holding up more Italian supplies in- = tended for Finland. There was no indication as to the ultimate intentions of Germany toward the Russian-Finnish conflict * or. toward the Scandinavian efforts - to aid the Finns. Throughout the struggle, the Nazi Government has . carried out the terms of its agree- - ment to give political aid to the . Soviets but whether a critical attitude toward the ngrthern countries indicated eventual military co= . operation with Russia was not ins dicated.

Japan Plans New Bulwark

In the Balkans, chief interest cen= tered on the return of Hungarian Foreign Minister Count Stephen = Csaky to Budapest, after reportedly reaching an agreement at Venice for Italian aid to Hungary against - any Russian thrust into Southeastern Europe. - Budapest sources reported that the agreement amounted to a de= fensive military alliance, but mes-* sages from Rome indicated that the final arrangement might be less positive. It was pointed out that Premier. Benito Mussolini would not desire at present to make public any binding commitments that might con-_ flict with Germany’s eventful pro-=* gram, although he appears to be bending every effort toward a firm Balkan " to maintain peace and oppose bolshevism. From the Far East it was re= ported that the Japanese Govern= ment was planning a new bulwark °. against the Soviets in connection © with the creation of a pro-Japaese Government, under Wang Ching-wei in China, Shocked and for a time bewil=" dered by collapse of the anti-Com-. munist bloc when Germany made her friendship agreement with Rus- . sia, the Japanese have sought to’ improve their own relations with Moscow without abandoning their fight against bolshevism. Now, according to Tokyo reports, there are plans to link Japan, China | and Manchukuo in a bloc under Japanese guidance and in opposition * to the spread of bolshe in the" Far East.
