STOCKHOLM, Sept. 25. (UP)-
Finnish troops were reported Mon
day to have taken SuomusSalmi on
the Russian frontier in a drive
northward to expel or disarm Ger
man forces in northern Finland and
comply with terms of the armiStice
with the Soviet Union.
An official announcement in Tel
sinki said the Firms had continued
land and there were no reports of
any clashes with German troops.
The advance was being slowed by
German destruction of bridges and
roads, the Helsinki statement said,
Other reports reaching here ASSERT
ed the Nazis were burning villages
and farm houses and seizing Fin
nish officials.
Finnish civilians in German occu-
pied areas were reported embit-
tered over the Germans for the
confiscation of foodStuffs, locomo-
tives and rolling stock
"a BBC broadcast said the sheriff
and other local officers in the Kuu-
samo district were seized and taken
to Rovaniemi, capital of Finnish
Lapland, above the northern end of
the Gulf of Bothnia)
Finnish reports estimated that
about 100000 civilians had been
evacuated from northern Finland,
of which l700C entered Sweden with
hundreds CT others following.

On Camp Lockett

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. (UP)-
U. S. Senator Sheridan Downey
said Monday it was highly prob
able" that he would meet with Un-
dersecretary of War Robert Patter-
son to discuss charges against
Colonel Frank T. Chamberlain,
commanding officer of the Camp
Lockett convalescent hospital, of
alleged mistreatment of army per-
sonnel and patients under his care.
DoWney said he had written Pat
terson on September after receiv-
ing numerous complaints from San
Diego citizens and that on Septem-
ber IL Patterson had answered his
request for an investigation and
promised to conduct hearings.
Downey said he would see Patterson
after the testimony had been sub
mitted IF he thinks it advisable"
Representative John Phillips of the
Second district whose office has
been advised of the complaints at
the time Senator Downey received
his communication is in England.
His office staff indicated he would
join in the request to the war de-
partment to investigate fully all
matters pertaining to the Lockett
situation.

Henry T. Gorrell reported from the

The bombardment opened late

Cali to End
Duck DAMAGE

A request for individual depreda-
tions permits allowing the general
public to "shoot ducks and save
the crops of Imperial county was
en- route to Washington, D. C. from
Ell Centre Monday.
The feceral wildlife service re-
fused the county Wildlife commit
tees request for a community de-
predations permit which would have
allowed farmers and hunters to
shoot the marauding ducks before
and after the regular cuck hunting
season, as we'll as during it. In its
place the wildlife service Offered to
grant individual permits which
would allow the farmers and their
employees only to shoot ducks on the
individual ranches.
That type of permit was not
satisfactory at ALL" Scott B. Foulds,
Imperial County Farm Bureau sec
retary said. Such a permit would
not permit enough ducks to be
killed. We believe it was just a
gesture and really would result in
protecting the ducks instead of the
farmers"
Meanwhile farmers complained
that the ducks already have started
bothering the rice.

Patton's Tank Fighters
Score Gains at Metz

AS a result, it seems almost inev-
liable that another heavy clash OF
armor. similar to the huge tank
battles of last week in the Moselle
Valley is bound to occur before the
Siegfried line proper is reached.
But observers believe the Ger
mans will be unable to Withstand
the crack sharpShooting OF Ameri-
can armor. The German tanks, es-
pecially NaI gunners, have proved
no match for Lieutenant General
George S. Pattons armored trigger
men, who wheel and fire in the
shortest possible time after sighting
a target.
Both the Germans and Americans
realize the time has arrived In mod
ern warfare, when any tank at n
reasonable range can be knocked out
by one we'll placed armor piercing
shell.
Most of the Americans In the
armored units received extensive
training in the American desert and
they are quick to apply their skill.
The best example occurred Sunday
northwest of Dieuze. The Germans
hurled approximately 80 tanks into
a counterattack. but iimped off a

The invasion of Japan's home ISL

military analysts are convinced that
it will be less costly if large por-
ton of Japan's huge army can be
cut off from the homeland or di-
verted to defense of it's stolen terri
tories. This can be accomplished,
the experts believe, by these moves:
l. Invasion of the Philippines, an
operation which seems imminent.
General Douglas MacArthur's forces

of Mindanao, southernmost of the
