Otis Skinner, dean of the thea.
ter, is dead at 80.
The veteran actor, whose

Skinner, who played more
than 325 parts and produced SO

launched him as an actor on
Philadelphia stage in 1877. Skim

between the British and Russian
forms of government but declar-
ing il had proved no barrier to
cooperation in the war against

Eden disclosed. that his talks
with Soviet Premier Joseph Sta

Helsinki Pepper
Sees Opportunity

LONDON, Jan. 5-(R-The
Helsinki newspaper Suomen
Sosialidemokratti said this
morning the present time
seem a suitable opportunity to
break off military operations"
against Russia, Reuters report
ed today.
Referring to Field Marshal
Baron Karl Gustaf Manner
helms statement at the end of
November that Finland's stra-
tegic goal almost had been
reached, the newspaper said
the goal appeared now to have
been achieved as several inn
portant towns had been occu-
pied since that time.
"Since then our troops have
not launched any offensive op-
erations," the paper added 7
Therefore it seems a suitable
opportunity to break off milf
terry operations at this point"
STRAIN ON PEOPLE
Meanwhile, the central coun-
Gil of the Finnish trade unions
drew the attention of Premier
Jukha Rangell to problems
troubling the workers. 1t said
that although the working class
loyalty supported the coun-
try, the workers relied on
the government in continuing
the war to consider the strain
on the Finnish people and their
capacity to endure it.
Great Britain announced on
Dec. 6 that she was at war with
Finland. Hungary and Rumania
because they persisted in fight
ing her Russian ally but thus
far no military action has been
reported against the Firms by
the British.
BRITISH WAR
Before that declaration, both
Britain and the United States
brought diplomatic pressure
to bear on Finland in an effort
TO stop her war against Russia
but Finland. on last Nov. IL.
stated in a note to the Unitei
States that her war against
Russia still was defensive.
The Helsinki government ad-
vised the United States that
Finland did not wish to con-
tinue the fight against Russia
any longer than her vital Sc
curity demanded.
Since going to war against
Russia on June 28, 1941, Fin
land has recovered substantial :"
ly all the territory she was
forced to concede to Russia at
ter the l939-40 winter war and
has pushed on into Eastern
Karelia.
CITE VITAL POINTS
But the government in its
note said vital areas still were
in Russian hands, including the
Fisher Peninsula, whose guns
control Petsamo, Finland's only
ocean port: outer islands in the
Gulf of Finland, and, above all,
the Hango Peninsula at the
southwestern tip of Finland.
The Hango Notifications con-
troll shipping in the Gulf of
Finland.
Shortly after the British dec
laration of war, the Russians
evacuated the Hango fort and
Peninsula and they were reoc-
