in the city could not be estimated
Immediately. Fifty persons were Of
ficially listed as killed in yesterdays
attacks on the capital alone, and the
number of dead and wounded in the
provinces and in widespread new
attacks today was undetermined.
Friendly Government.
A new government was formed to
succeed that Of Premier Aimo K Ca
lander, which resigned early today,
even though it had a vote Of COLI
fidence from an historic session of
the Parliament. It's composition was
not announced Immediately. Pre-
viously Vaino Tanner, finance min
lister in the resigned cabinet, and de-
scribed as friendly to Russia, had
been expected to be named premier.
Copenhagen reports said diplo-
mats expected the new government
would come to terms with Russia
The Finnish Legation in London,
however, said there was no question
of Surrender
The new attacks followed expira-
ton of an ultimatum broadcast from
Moscow threatening humiliation of
Helsinki unless an agreement was

Strike in Far North.
Russian forces were striking today
at Finland's farthest northern out
posts at points along the 8OO-mile
eastern frontier and along the south
ern seacoast around to the extreme
southwest. Near the middle of this
front, Soviet land forces had oc-
cupied territory north of Lake
Ladoga, and farther south had ad-
vanced on the Karelian isthmus,

OTHERS VIEWS

To the Editor:
Ever since Governor Hoey issued
his decree to the potential candidates
; for the governorship, the candidates
and the voters have been speculat-
ing on his motives for advising the
numerous aspirants to postpone any
public announcements until after
January the first. A number of peo-
pie got the idea that the governor
| favored one Of the splendid gentle
men who had been mentioned and
was doing this to give aid and COM
| fort to his favorite.
If any one or more of the candi-
dates has been entertaining the idea
that he might receive the governors
blessing, that idea has been knocked
in the head recently, from all re-
ports. The governor has not pulled
his punches to the candidates and
! their friends with whom he has dis
cussed his neutrality stand on his
successor. He has been strictly neu-
trail from the beginning, is now and
will continue to maintain that at
titude, unless some candidate at
tacks the administration; in that
event the governor would feel COM
PEELED to defend his record and if
in doing SO he inadvertently stepped
on the toe Of one or more of the
candidates it would be their hard
luck.
1t is rumored that one of the as
pirants for successor to the governor
was informed recently that he would
have to run on his own team and
not to expect or depend on admins
tration support. Like the young man
j in the Bible who was advised to go
sell all that he had and give it to the
poor, the candidate went away sor-
rowfully as he had great expectations
lof administrative support.
:! No candidate for the governorship
next year will be able to make any
progress without clear and definite
platform and program. the voters
are in no mood to take any candidate

MILE OF CLOUD
OVERHEAD LAST
NIGHT, FINDING
First Radio Sonde Flight
Great Success, Reports
Weather Bureau

The first flight made here with
radio-sonde equipment, as regular
daily service was launched last
night, was described today by Met
eorologist Howard j. Thompson of
the U. S. Weather Bureau as an
unqualified success.
A perfect record of temperature,
humidity and air pressure was re-
corded by the receiving set In the
Weather Bureau office as the radio
sonde instrument was carried aloft
by 10 pilot balloons hooked togeth-
er in tandem. The large helium
balloons designed for the radio
sonde flights have not arrived as
yet.
The balloons were released at
1880 last night with the entire
Weather Bureau staff on hand for
the Inauguration of the new SER
vice. Theodore w. Kleinsasser and
Carl Russo, experts who arrived
here recently, were in direct charge
of the work.
Mt. Juneau In Way
For "a minutes the signals came
in perfectly, then faded out pos
sibly due to the shadow OF Mount
Juneau, behind which the balloons
and instrument had drifted.
At the time signals faded out, the
instrument was 5000 meters or ap-
proximately three miles above the
earth. Temperature at that altitude
was 81 degrees as compared to a
surface temperature of 81 degrees
at the time. The cloud layer above
Juneau was shown by temperature
and humidity readings to be ap-
proximately a mile thick This is
the first time the Weather Bureau
has been able to obtain data on
this important feature.
No Interference
Thompson was especially pleased
at the absene of radio interference
on the radio-sonde chart. The rec
ord was much cleaner than in the
States where automobile static caus-
es random markings to appear on
the graphs.
Particular interest in the flight
was taken by Thompson as he was
in charge OF the Weather Bureau
station at Fairbanks in 1882 when
the first acknowledgements in
struments ever to be used by the
U. S. Weather Bureau were sent
aloft Of 10 instruments released
at that time, eight were the Mol
chanoff type Of Russian manufac-
ture and two were Hergeseli in
struments from Germany. The vast

now in use here are a United States

ward to for some time
The two are flying a new Fair

took delivery on for CAA use, to be
based at Fairbanks.
Familiarizing himself with Alas
