Swedish Mine Field
Extended in Mouth
OF Gulf Of Bothnia
Purpose to Facilitate
Active Neutrality
Soys Communique

by the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Dec. 9.-Sweden
extended her mine fields today to
waters off Oregrun, 80 miles north
Of Stockholm, making 1t necessary
for vessels plying the channel op-
posite the Aaland Islands into the
Gulf of Bothnia to use Swedish
pilots.
The mines, extending those laid
earlier opposite the Aalands, are ITO
facilitate active Swedish neutrality" :"
a government communique said.
The Firms previously had mined
the channel on the Finnish side Of
the Aalands.
Watching the Finnish-Russian
war with grave concern, Sweden
looked with more optimism to the
reopening of trade negotiations
with Germany at Berlin Monday.
These were interrupted as a result
of German mine-laying activities
near Swedish waters.
"We are hopeful now that we can
come to some arrangement" said an
informant close to the government
Talk of the formation of a national
government to include all parties
continued but obstacles were said to
have arisen. There were differences
over the insistence of some elements
that Sweden take a stronger stand
on behalf of Finland. The question
of whether Foreign Minister Richard
j. Sander should be retained was
another issue.

Scondinovions Feeling
Pinch of Blockade

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 9 [P.-With
naval hostilities and blockades on
all sides, the Scandinavian countries
felt the pinch Of war today as Fin
land def1ed Russia's blockade Of her
coasts.
The Russian blockade lacks both
legal and practical significance,
Finland declared. Finnish circles
pointed out the Gulf of Bothnia,
between Finland and Sweden, had
already been closed to the Soviet
fleet by mines and Notifications on
the Aaland Islands.
However, reports from Stockholm
indicated at least two or more Rus
sian submarines were operating in
the Bothnian gulf.
The Russian blockade brought a
new menace to hard-pressed Swed-
ish shipping. Stockholm is almost
directly opposite new Russian naval
bases in Estonia and the Gulf of
Riga.
Danish and Norwegian trade also
felt the effects of the Russian move.
Until now they have enjoyed a
measure of freedom in their Baltic
operations.
Scandinavian shipping has suffer-
ed severely from the allied blockade
of Germany.

Security Taxes
Case Merely Requires
Normal Procedure
Federal Men Soy

BY the Associated Press.
YORK, Pa, Dec. 9.-To pay or
not to pay-that is the question
posed to Uncle Sam by Fred Perkins,
who says he knows the answer.
Federal authorities say they, too,
have the answer for anyone, Fred
Perkins included, who fails to meet
his tax obligations.
Challenging the Government to
come and get It," the 61-year -old
battery manufacturer asserted yes
terday he never had paid old-age
and unemployment taxes and that
he had no intention Of so doing.
The Perkins tenacity is a matter
of record. Defying the N. r. A. five
years ago, he went to jail for 18
days on charges of paying employees
less than the minimum prescribed
by code.
It cost him a 81 500 fine and his
appeal was dropped with the Su-
preme Court invalidation Of N r. A.
Anent his latest revolt, Federal
men were inclined to view it as a
case requiring normal procedure" 3"
There's no action for our Office
to take unless we receive a complaint
from the collector" said Frederick
J. Follmer, United States attorney
for the middle district of Penn

that they had made the enemys
task that much harder.
Allowing for the natural advan-
tages for the Firms, it really seems
that the Red Army is giving a
poorer performance than had been
expected. The Russians apparently
were confident of an easier victory,
either through the effect of terror
ism as the result of their bombs or
because they really believed the
Finnish resistance would be much
weaker.
Firms Thoroughly United.
The Russian attempts to set up a
puppet government of Communists
almost seems as If the Russians
really believed, or had been led to
believe by foolish and possibly In
terested information on the part OF
their own representatives in Fin
land, or from Finnish Communists
who took their wishes for reality,
that the people Of Finland were ac-
tually, If not sympathetic to Russia.
at least divided in their sympathies
and possibly hostile to some Of their
own leaders.
Nothing, I am convinced, can be
further from the truth. The workers

gas is not likely to be used as the
city is already partly evacuated.
Furthermore, as the woman corre-
spondent of the Dagens Nyheter ex-
planned, the evacuation is now con-
siderably advanced as q result Of
the weather being unsuitable for
airplanes during the past few days,
and therefore the menace Of air at

the correspondent declares, in line.
Tactics Suited to Country.
When they opened out, they took
little advantage of cover, running
with their heads down and their
arms across their faces as If to ward
of the bullets. An expected tank
attack failed to materialize, either
because the machines stuck in the
heavy ground or fell foul of huge
blocks of granite with which the
paths through the forest have been

The defending troops are fighting
a battle best suited to the country

and an occasional cannon, along a
line of blockhouses. The village of
Summa had been burned by its in
habitants before evacuation and the
acrid smoke crept slowly toward the
lines from which the Russian at
tack was expected to appear.
The correspondent tells OF the
hard plight of refugees moving in
slow columns along a pitch-black
highway that was so slippery that
they and a convoy moving up to
the front could use only the crown
of the road under pain Of sliding
into the bitches. But all Of them,
