 Moscow, March 21.-(UP) - Marshal Ivan s. KoneV drove Soviet spearheads through Bessarabia to within S5 miles of the Rumanian frontier today and the gov ernment organ Izvestia said that "snashed German regi- ments are retreating across Rumania."
 (Since the Soviets regard Bessara- pia as a part of Russia, the 1zVestla report of NaA retreat "acroSs Rumania" apparently meant that the Germans are pulling back be- vond the Prut River, the boundary between Rumania and Bessarabia.)
 As the Second Army of the Ukra- the poured into Bessarahia on front more than 50 miles wide, the official Soviet Army journal Red Star pro- claimed jubilantly:

 Hollywood, March 21-(UP)- While film fans battled for seats and Hollywood cringed in anticipa- tion, Charlie Chaplin headed for federal court today in hope of con- vincing a jury that a red-haired woman lied when she called him a white slayer.
 A federal grand jury has indict- ed the multi-millionaire Britisher on two charges of violating the Mann Act. The grand jury charged that the white-haired Chaplin caused Joan Barry to be transport ed to New York for immoral pur- noses in 1922 and that he returned to Hollywod three weeks later.

FNNS REJECT
 SOVIET PEACE
 CONDITIONS
BY BRITA GUsTAFSON United Press Staff CorrespOndent)


 Helsinki, March 21.-(UP) Finland formally an nounced her rejection of Russian armistice terms early today, but at the same time promised to continue her ef- forts to reach a satisfactory peace with the Soviets.
 A government communi- que issued at the usual hour of 5:30 a. m. (10:30 p. m., Monday, EWT) said Finland could not accede in advance to the Russian demands without further clarification of their meaning.
 The disputed Russian de- mands, which the communi- que said would have a "far reaching effect on the exist ence" of Finland, were be- lieved to include those calling for internment of German troops and withdrawal of Finnish troops within Fin lands 194O borders in ad- vance of armistice negotia- tionS.
 The Finnish note of rejection was sent to Moscow by way of Stock holm last weekend and disclosure of the contents presumably was de- layed until word of its delivery reached Helslnki.
 Covering two double spaced type- written pages, the Finnish com muniuue reviewed the history of the preliminary peace talks, which were initiated by Juho K. PaasikiW, former Finnish premier, with Mime. Alexandra Kollontai, Soviet ambas- sador to Sweden, at Stockholm last month.
 After the Russian armistice terms were received, the communique said, the Finnish parliament requested further information regar. ing the interpretation of various points and conditions.

 Washington, March 2l-(UP)-A decision by President Roosevelt to become a candidate for reelection will bring him face to face with a collection of knotty problems on how to run his campaign.
 If he decides to go after fourth term. chances are the public will be told he is too busy with war strategy and his other duties as commander in-chief to make campaign tours or public appearances.
 This would mean that his cam paign would be conducted largely from radio microphones in the White House.
