Limitation of any material in
creases in the 1941 District budget
to offset possible increased taxes is
the one most positive determination
of the newly named chairman of the
House Subcommittee on District
Appropriations.
This is the first declaration made
by Representative Caldwell, Dem
ocrat. of Florida, who yesterday ac-
cepted the post as successor to Rep
resentative Collins. Democrat, OF
Mississippi. who resigned
The current appropriations for
the District total 1909 900, while
the Presidents budget submitted to
Ahe Congress on Thursday calls for
$40 .435 900 for the coming fiscal
year. Mr.. Caldwell indicated this
budget might be trimmed somewhat
but that no meritorious projects
would suffer materially.
Mr.. Caldwell previously served for
two years on the District Appropria-
tions Subcommittee, so admits he
has "a reasonably fair working
knowledge of the District govern
ment and its needs"
He approaches his new task as a
chairman kindly disposed to the
District, ready to consider each pro-
posed appropriation item on its
merits.
Mr.. Caldwell foresees, however,
that it is futile for the people of the
District to expect any more liberal
Federal contribution for support
and development of the Capital. He
confesses that he, personally, has
been in favor of a fiat $4,000, 900

HELSINKI, Jan. 6.-Twenty-tW'
Russian war planes-possibly NOR
have been shot down in the las
two days by Finlands stiffening ali
defenses, military circles asserted
tonight.
(The Soviet Russian Army
communique declared that 10
Finish planes were brought
down in combat but that other
activity in the Finnish war was
limited to clashes of patrols)
An army conmunique officially
accounted for eight Soviet machines
destroyed yesterday at Mikkeli-
railroad town about 135 miles north
west of the Karelian Isthmus from
tier.
Unofficial but reliable sources re.
ported that eight more planes were
shot down today at Utti, 80 miles
south of Mikkeli on an east-west
railway line.
In addition, anti-aircraft batteries
at Savio, northwest of Lake Ladoga
were reported to have destroyed six
additional Soviet planes.
The Russians managed to inflict
considerable damage at Mikkei be-
fore being driven of. Several civil
fans, including women and children
were reported killed.
II Tanks Reported Taken.
In fighting yesterday the high
command reported destruction of
two enemy tanks and capture of II
others along with large quantities
of supplies left behind by retreating
Red Army forces in the center of
the eastern front.
Brisk fighting continued on the
eastern front at Suomussslmi, where
the Russians have been beaten back
in their efforts to sever Finland S
wasplike "waistline"
The bulk Of the tanks and booty
captured was reported northeast of
Suomussalmi, in the region of
Juntusranta, a short distance from
the Russian frontier.
The Firms said their coastal forts
turned their guns inland to de-
stroy Red Army supply columns and
artillery.
On the Karelian Isthmus the
high command said two minor in
fantry thrusts toward the Manner
helm Line were repulsed. The Red
Army coupled these attacks with
intensified artillery barrages be-
tween the Gulf of Finland and
Muolaanjarvi.
"Blitzkrieg" a Failure.
Russia's attempt at a ''blitzkrieg, 2"
after 38-day trial against Finland,
a country of 100000 inhabitants,
has netted her about 5000 square
miles, or about one forty eighth of
the 240,000 square miles she ap-
parently set out to capture. And
Finnish leaders say they gave up
voluntarily most of the Finnish ter
ritory now occupied by the Red
Army.
Reports of changed leadership of
the Soviet Army on the Karelian
Isthmus and its digging-in opera
tions there indicate a change of
tactics now. But the distribution
Of Soviet troops at the beginning
OF the war left little doubt to OBJ
servers that Stain planned some
thing similar to Adolf Hitlers jaunt
into Poland.
The Firms insist there is little
military significance to the con-
tinued Soviet air raids which since
the beginning of the war have killed
about 300 civilians and caused mate
rial damage to about 60 cities and
towns. The Firms assert they have
shot down more than $50 Russian
planes.
Today the Firms still hold defense
lines on the Karelian Isthmus to
