Fighting RACES Along
Mannerhein LineApex
Russians to Throw Best Available Equipment Into
Terrific Assault AmOred SIedges Used

dition to q large number Of fighting
planes, represented the largest con-
centration Of Red Army aircraft
used in any attack thus far.
Viipuri had an air raid alarm
which lasted for two hours and
there was one period when for hall
an hour I heard overhead the con-
tinuous roar Of airplane motors
among low clouds. There were light
snow furries throughout most Of
the day.
The terrain around 6umina
where the attack was launched, Il
open and much less wooded than
other parts Of the Isthmus.
It was believed that the attack
was intended to keep the F.nni
from shifting troops from the MAJ
nerheim line to the fighting front
northeast Of Lake Ladoga. The at.
tack had been thoroughly prepared
but the Fms new that and they
were ready.

UNITED Press STAN Correspondent
With Finnish Army on Kareliar:
1sthmus, FEB. = Go P. NJ - co
PJ - Fighting ragged tonight at
Summa, IN the center Of the Man
nerheim defense line where Rus
slams, using airplanes, tanks, smoke
screens and armored sledges, mace
one Of their strongest attacks Of the
war. Finnish troops were resist
ing stubbornly at all points.
(Since this dispatch was FLED
communication with Finnish cities
has been difacult and at times i'm
possible. Up to $50 a. m. EST late
reports on the progress Of the SUM-
ma battle we're not avaiIable.)
The attacking Russians were sup
ported by $50 airpIanes in what
Films described as q terrific attack
In an effort to break through the
center Of the Mannerheim line.
The Russians used their armored
sledges for the first time. Filled with
men and machine guns the sledges
pushed aheao Of tanks as the Red
Army command threw wave after
wave yof fighting power against the
Mannerheim line. It was regarded
as the most powerful offensive of
the Karelian Isthmus in weeks. :
Artillery preparation for the at
tack lasted six hours. The roar cf
10000 shells continued without IN
Permission. The heavy gunfire could
be heard as far back of the point of
attack as Viipuri. 1t was the heav-
lest fire have heard since the
World War.
The armored sledges used by the
Russians are an Arctic adaptation
Of the ancient Trojan horse. Each
sledge is II feet long and is covered
on the top, sides and front with
heavy steel plates. The idea of OPP
Grafton Is that the men in the sledge
have protection until close to their
objectives when they leave their
armored TRANSPORT for attack be-
hind tanks brought UP behind the
sledges.
Latest word indicated that the
Stubbornly resisting Firms had re-
pulsed the main Russian attack but
the Red Army renewed its assault
and combat continued as I wrote
this dispatch at 10 p. m. Thursday
The air throbbed and quivered
because of the conclusions and ex-
plosions at the front. Frightened
birds fiuttered wildly in panic, even
many miles behind the lines. Fin
nisl1 artillery on the Isthmus had
Numbered all day.
One point alone silenced most of
is Russian batteries-about As guns.
The Firms also shelled one column
of seven tanks, putting two of them
out of commission and repulsing the
attack Of which they were the van
guard.
One Russian plane, a spotter for
Red Army artillerymen, was shot
down.
Thick smoke screen were used by
The Russians to cover heir attacks.

Constantine Brown. ed under dureSS
on the pact with Japan to permit
Emperor Hirohito's soldiers to attack
the Chinese from the south. Orders
from Berlin clinched the agreement.
Although Vichy and Toxic desire
to coat the pill, there is no doubt in
the mind of anybody that this means
the cession of the most important
and richest overseas possession OF
France to the japanese. The French
shrug their shoulders and say that
they cannot help themselves any
longer. If the Germans win this
war, France will disappear.
Path to Restoration.
For this reason there still are so
many Frenchmen in what is called
the free region who pray for Brit
ish victory. They know that in such
an event France will be restored.
The bombardment of Dakar by
the British, who were protecting an
expeditionary force of Gen. de
Gaulle. may compel the Vichy gov
ernment to endeavor to retaliate.
But on the whole there is not
single French possession which
would not accept a liberating force
if it knew that it would not cause
further pressure on France from
German quarters. The resistance
at DakS where the Governor was
believed TO be in sympathy with the
free French" with headquarters in
7 nf
tions from Vichy that France might
suffer if no resistance were offered.
The British believed that the Gov
ernor of that West African colony
would welcome them. because only
10 days ago he permitted a trans
port with Senegalese troops to sail
from Dakar for Indo-China.
Sales to Thailand a Surprise.
Many responsible quarters in
Washington are surprised to hear
that although Thailand is now a
puppet in Japan's hands. the United
States Government has permitted
the sale and shipment to that coun-
try of s468000 worth of airplanes
and airplane parts not later than
August. 1t is felt that somebody
must have slipped badly.
Thailand has been demanding a
slice of Indo-China. This request
was made at the prompting of
Japan. Thailand has a small air
force and is not able to purchase
airplanes either from Japan or
Europe The release of these air
planes by the State Department is
so much more surprising because
Britain needs every available plane.
and our own aviation cannot boast
of having enough planes.

Political MiII
Overconfidence Has Lost Political Races Before
And May Rob Roosevelt of Third Term

Is not. Back of them, too, lie the
hundreds Of millions of dollars which
are handed out, either as relief
payments or benefits Of one kind
or another, to millions of American
families. They are handed out by
the New Deal administration. That
kind Of spending has been most
potent in elections during the last
six years. A tremendous office
holding bureaucracy has been built
and Hatch Act or no Hatch Act,
the pay-rollers are expected to toe
the mark, although they are pro-
hibited from taking active" parts
in political campaigns.
Undersurface Activity.
The odds against Willkie, on the
surface, seem very great. There
are signs, however. that more is
going on beneath the surface than
is generally meeting the eye. No
one knows just how far the anti
third-term issue will cut into the
New Deal strength. No one knows
just how many Democrats are plan
ming either to vote for Willkie or
not to vote at all. There is no
denying the fact that in every
election held since 1887, the Re-
publicans have made gains against
the New Dealers. This has been
true in the actual elections held
this year. The New Dealers reply
to these election returns by saying
that President Roosevelt himself
was not running-and that he is
vastly stronger than the Democratic
party. This may be true. 1t is also
true, however. that he has never be-
fore bucked the third-term tradition.
The assertion is now made by
Representative Andersen of Min
nesota that the President. If he
Is reelected. will step aside after
a year or two and let Henry A.
Wallace, the vice presidential NOM
inee of the New Dealers, become
President If the President has any
such intention, it is not likely he
will announce it before the elec-
ton. Not if he listened to the uproar
which Mr.. Wallace's candidacy for
the vice presidential nomination
created in the Democratic National
Convention in Chicago. The Wal
lace choice, which was strictly the
Presidents, was not popular with a
large number of the Democratic
delegates. The report that the
President has in mind not serving
out another four-year term but will
resign and leave Mr.. Wallace in the
White House after the present war
crisis has passed, If it does. has
come from other sources than Mr..
Andersen. Indeed. it was suggested
at the time the President was be-
coming nominee for a third term.
The President picked Mr.. Wal
lace as his running mate because
he regarded the former Secretary
OF Agriculture as thoroughgoing
New Dealer. In all probability, the
fact that the Republicans had
named as their vice presidential
candidate Senator McNary of Ore
gon. long known as friend of the
farmer. had something to do with
the selection of Mr. Wallace He
is from Iowa. the heart of the corn
belt, and for years he has been
charged with dispensing benefits to
the farmers under the farm pro-
gram Of the administration.
The Wallace nomination cuts two
ways in the farm States, however.
While the benefit payments, plus
