The fourth shell he held a moment

Russia Aims Aerial, Sec

Nations Stout Defense
30 Bombs Dropped
On HeIsinsfors
In Three Raids

HELSINGFORS, Finland,
Dec. /. (UP)-Soviet Russia
renewed aerial, naval and
land attack on Finland today
as a new Finnish government,
headed by Risto Ryti, was set up
in an apparently hopeless effort to
reach a settlement with Moscow.
Red airplanes returned three times
to drop perhaps 80 bombs on the
Helsingfors area during the day
and Soviet warships were reported
unofficially to be pounding at least
two points on the southern coast
of Finland.
Four Russian airplanes were shot
down, Finnish officials reported,
and Finnish troops captured more
than 300 prisoners as they stoutly
resisted the Red army on the Kar-
elan Isthmus north of Leningrad.
Official sources lacked confirma-
ton of reports of severe fighting
on the Gulf of Finland coast, al
though unconfirmed messages said
there had been Red warship bonn
bardmentS at Hangoe, west OF Hell
singforS, and Borgaa, east OF the
capital. Meager adviceS did not dis
close where the Soviet forces had
been successful in landing any
troops under protection of naval
and aerial bombardment.
The new government, announced
shortly after squadrons of half
dozen Soviet planes had unloaded
bombs on the Helsingfors suburbs
occupied by workmen's families,
apparently was designed to include
all parties in Finland but lack OF
communication with Moscow made
it unlikely that any immediate move
could be made toward a resumption
of negotiations.
Furthermore, the new foreign
minister, v. A. Tanner, was attacked
bitterly only this morning in a
broadcast over the Moscow radio.
Another member of the new Hell
singfors government is j. K. Paasi-
XVI, former premier and head Of
the unsuccessful Finnish mission to
Moscow, who became a minister
without portfolio.
The new cabinet was officially
announced at $3.50 pm. and took
charge of the government.

from Leningrad said.
The TasS announcement was
broadcast over the official Moscow
radio at pm.
The Communist party OF Finland
was founded in 1920 but it was de-
clared illegal in 1880. At the last
two elections there have been no
Communist candidates in Finland.
The Terioki government, Tass
said, is headed by Otto Kussinen,
as premier and foreign minister.
Prior to the official announcement
that Communist Finnish govern
ment" has been established on the
border just west of Lake Ladoga,
creation of Finnish socialist state
was envisaged in a widely-publiciz-
ed manifesto of the Finnish Com
munist party which, the Soviet
press said, has been broadcast in
Finland.
The document, published in the
official Communist newspaper Prav-
da, was viewed as clearly indicating
the kind of government which Rus
sia would approve in Finland and
the terms on which it would agree
to peace.
In effect, the manifesto indicated
that Finland should occupy posi-
ton roughly similar to that of Outer
Mongolia in regard to the Soviet
Union. sssses .-.--
The manifesto called upOn Fin
