Volunteer Band < Fiirlrl-Americans Arrive Helsillki

UNDATED, Dec. 2 (P) = A week after invading Finland, Russia reported that the Red army had broken through the main Finnish defense line on the Karelian Isthmus north of Lenin grad. The Russian claims of sue cess, on the narrow neck of land where the main forces of the two nations battled since the invasion started November 30, followed upon the Finnish reports that all Soviet. attacks were repulsed.
 As the war entered the second week, embattled Finland receiv- ed measure of outside aid, though it's extent and significance remained unclear, when a band of 230 Finnish-Americans, some of whom never before had seen Finland, arrived at Helsinki to help fight Russia. It is said others will follow.
 Britain also arranged for Fin land to obtain thirty British war planes and other war materials establishing a precedent which might permit further British as- sistance to the Films.
 The Italian planes ordered be- fore the war started are reported to have reached Finland.
 The foreign ministers of Nor way, Sweden and Denmark met at Oslo to consider ways of giv- ing Finland non-military aid.
 President Roosevelt conferred with officials yesterday on ways of rendering similar assistance and prepared to set Finland's December Is war debt payment aside for possible use in Finnish relief work.

AS a result of the Allies total blockade, Italy has an inter est in everything which may happen to the Danube and Bal kan basin.' This declaration was seen as an implied warning for Russia to keep it's hands off the Balkans.
 Notification of the Russian blockade of Finland said it would go into effect today but neutral ships were given an extra 24 hours to clear out of the zone.
 In yesterdays report of the armed operations in Finland, Len ingrad headquarters asserted that Russian troops in the north are 28 miles south of Petsamo. Finland's Arctic port.

Hero of the Western Hemisphere
which will dramatize historical
stories of the famous men of South
American countries. They will be
filmed in both the English and
Spanish languages. First in this
group will be Bolivar in South
America detailing the heroic
struggles of the. George Washing
ton of South America" in freeing
Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and
Peru from the Spanish yoke early
in the last century, Important
name actors will be assigned to
these films. Don Jose de San Mar
tin-how many in America have
heard of him?-the national hero
of Argentina and Chile, will be
glorif1ed in another.
Another significant bit of evidence
that the movies are attempting to
solidify Latin relations by every pos
sible means springs from the same
studios ambitious project to pro-
duce "the Monroe Doctrine" as a
four-reel color film. According to
researchers, there's an interesting
parallel between conditions today
and in 1921. when James Monroe
put through his historic policy.
Next important development in
this Latin-American trend will be
the production of Hollywood movie
amid the romantic scenery of Bra
zil or Argentina. And don't think
that's merely dream. Three COM
panies are now debating the idea of
squirting sales for their dramas in
tin" by sending pretentious and ex-
pensive location outfits down that
way.
Trends in general and plots in
detail are likely to be influenced by
the new market crusade. Latins
don't like it when the hero dies in
the film, and they're inclined to dis
like seeing his "ressurection" in a
later picture. These are a couple
of many movie going fetishes noted
and reported back to headquarters
by Power.
Theater admissions there are sur
prisingly high considering the scale
of living in many of the republics,
and the crowds in many auditoriums
are so unruly they'll force a theater
owner to stop the showing of a pic
ture should it meet their disap-
proval. When the manager looks
in and sees patrons lighting matches
and holding them aloft, he imme-
diately calls the projectionist and
gives the alarm. The feature is
then taken off and another substi-
tuted. In more rabid sections, the
manager keeps four or five features
always on hand in the booth, ready
to meet the dreaded flare-ups.

to sit back and relax, and have
heard that there are people who
can't think of anything more COM
Portable to sit back and relax in
than theater seat, there is George
Abbott's production of The Prim-
rose Path"-a play to make you
cry a little bit and laugh a lot
and shock you as genially as a
competent masseur. This last is a
ramshackle play, put together with
more slap than dash, but the bet
ting along the street is that it will
outrun the other two and make all
concerned richer
The White Steed," Mr.. Carroll
writes in a program note, lis SYM
bolically based on the old tale of
Ossian, the son of Finn, who was
taken away by the lovely Mann on
her white steed to the land of youth.
Returning 300 years later in search
of Finn, Ossian finds all the great
heroes dead and the land swarm
ing with little black men. One day
he contemptuously leans down from
the white steed and hurls into the
air a slab of marble that 100 of the
little men are vainly trying to raise,
but in doing so he smashes the
saddle-girth, and, as his feet touch
the earth, he withers miserably
away ="
So, in the play, there is a lovely
Niam-called Nora Fintry in this
modern time-and she finds her
Ossian in Denis Dillon, a little
school teacher man, a cringing
funkey to all the powers that be-
Living is more important than
life" Nora tells her Denis, and he
believes her when he is drunk and
bold, brawling hero. But he
doesn't get drunk very often, and
when he does, it is in secret, so he
is bold and brawling and a hero in
private, worm in public, wriggling
obsequiously, belly fiat against the
earth.
These two are plunged into the
middle of frantic war in the Irish
village of Lorcan, fomented by what
the author describes as a clerical
Fascist. On one side of the war is
Canon Matt Lavelle, old and Grip
pied by a stroke; on the other is
Father Shaughnessy, brisk, mar
tial-minded priest who is taking
over the old mans duties until the
canon is willing to retire. Father
Shaughnessy is a Catholic Hitler
with the greater kingdom of God
rather than greater Germany on
his mind Protestants are his non
Aryans, pinch-nosed troupe OF
shopping moral police" are his
storm troopers, and he sets out with
whoop and crash to usurp civil
authority, bind his sheep in strait

pleaded guilty to five burglaries
last July in the Clallam county
city.
The young soldiers were Oscar
Lloyd Pope, 30, originally from
Lewiston, Utah. and Howard Les
lie Hoylman, 81, Of Creston. Mont.
They were caught in the back
room of a Puyallup clothing store
the first week in October and by
fingerprints Of one traced to a
Steilacoom burglary. Pierce
county officers, facing the young
soldiers with that definite evil
dence, obtained confessions of bur-
glaries all over western Washing
ton.
Pope and Hoylman first were
turned over to Thurston county
authorities because more of the
burglaries had occurred there than
in Tacoma, but in turn they were
passed on to Port Angeles where
still heavier charge Of five
counts awaited them.
