Defense Forces Reported to Have Captured or
 Killed Invaders
TANKS ARE PRESSED
 INTO NEW MOVEMENT
Attacks on Occupied Islands in Lake Lddoga Are
 Beaten Back

HELSINKI, Feb. 2. - Russian planes are reported by the Finnish Command to have dropped many patrols by parachutes on Finnish soil but the defense troops have cap- tured or killed the invaders.
 The new danger from the skies has been introduced before by the Russians, but always, the Films say, without success.
 This report of dropping soldiers by parachutes comes from the Ka- relian Isthmus front where the Rus Sians also showed another wrinkle in modern warfare, the use of tanks in pushing armored sledges in an attempt to crush the defenders. This action is reported to have been re- sorted to far into the night, but the move was discovered and the Films made an effective repulse.
 The High Command also reports the Russians have been beaten back after attacks on Finnish held islands in the Lake Lagoda sector.
