These craft, exploding on the

and considerable damage at scat

that these self-destroying aircraft
flew at terrific speed in a straight
line, were marked by bright lights
and shot flames from their exhausts
they might be jet or
rocket propelled.
The lights presumably were to
aid in radio control, probably from
piloted planes at great distance.
Nazis Tell of Attack.
Today's German communique said
only that Southern England and
the greater London area were at
tackled with novel weapons, and "su-
per heavy" explosives were dropped.
A special note broadcast after the

there is hardly one German who
will not receive this news with
greatest satisfaction. The feelings
of hatred and burning wish for re-

our enemies in their terror crimes"

through Finland's new Man
nerheim Line" one of the last

reported today. -
A Red Star dispatch said the new
Mannerheim Line was q tremendous
fortification, with four lines OF wells
made of cone-shaped stone and
antitank blocks almost yards high,
before which lay an antitank mine
field 20 yards wide and strewn with
German mines.
A great gap has been cut in this
line, and in some places Soviet tanks
and artillery. as well as infantry,
are considerably beyond it, the dis
patch said.
Elaborate Trench System.
Maj. Konstantin Shvankov. the

of trenches and dugouts, with steel
and concrete platforms for antitank
rifles, machine guns and mortars.
The trenches are connected with
bullet and bomb proof shelters
about SO yards away. These had
steel and concrete covering on the
sides, with room inside for Is SOL
diers.
"The Films considered the new
Mannerhein Line impossible for the
Red Army" Shvankov wrote.
The main break through was in
the region of Kuuterselkae with the
new Mannerheim Line running from
the southwest to the northeast
deep in swamps and forests.
Highway Crossing Captured.
A quarter mile away from the
trenches the Firms had three addi-
