they had pushed more than six miles northward from Tornio, near the Swedish border at the head of the Gulf of Bothnia. ] (A Swiss broadcast heard in Londor quoted Stockholm reports as saying Russian parachutists landed ‘behind the German lines in Finland.) “North, and east of Tornio, fighting continues between troops we landed and the Germans,” the communique said. The Finnish communiques usually are 48 hours or more behind the events, and responsible sources reported the advance well beyond Tornio. The Germans were reported to have moved up mechanized reinforcements in that area, while con-

slow withdrawal.

A communique disclosed that a military government had been established on Angaur, where 1075 Japanese had -been killed through Saturday. The number of enemy dead on Peleliu had reached 9076 for the same period. Marine Corsair fighter planes, apparently operating from the newly acquired airfield in Peleliu, again raided Babelthaup, principal island of the Palaus, against heavy antiaircraft fire. The. Japanese announcement -of the attack on the Volcanos Sunday did not identify the planes other than “large,” a description often used by the Tokyo radio in referring to B-29 Superfortresses, but there was no indication the big American bombers carried out the raid, The broadcast claimed three of

the planes had been shot down or damaged.
