WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. = You might as well be posted on the nick names attached to political stars starlets because the campaigns are coming and both sides will want to humanize their proteges by that familiar touch"
 Presil;olio roosevelt was called "The Boss" by the late Louie Howe, his wise No. secretary. He is call ed MT. Big" fondly by his friends, furiously by his foes. Vice-President Garner calls him "The Captain" :" Everybody knows him by his init ials. FDR, just like this-Ef-Dee- Are.
 The runner-up Presidential can didates haven't generated pet names for themselves yet. When Hoover was President he was referred to as "The Chief" His friends still use the title.
 General Hugh Johnson referred to Secretary Ickes as Honest Harold It didn't displace Washington's "Icky the 'ick." But when Ickes, in re- turn, called the general old Iron Pants" that stuck.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 18.-Norweg- ian reports from northern Finland describe forest fighting in which a patrol of nine Finnish soldiers are said to have killed 700 Russians in an exposed highway position.
 The exhausted Finnish soldiers, crossing into Norway told how small patrols equipped with light machine guns and light field guns, are har- assing the Russian advance in the North.
 The Finn patrol group explained the tremendous enemy loss in the single engagement was because of the fact the Russians were massed on a road exposed directly to Fin nish guns in ambush.
 A Norwegian telegraph agency report from Svanvik, Norwegian town near the Finnish frontier, said 40 disarmed and interned soldiers said they had not slept in five days, fighting steadily until their ammu- hilton was gone.
