STOCKHOLM, Sunday, Feb. 27.-
A Russian aerial force variously
estimated to include from 100 to
200 planes raided Helsinki last night
and at least 80 fires were said to be
blazing in the Finnish capital, re-
ports reaching here today said.
Seven hours after the alarm
sounded, Helsinki's commercial COM
munication facilities still were
closed down. The Finnish city of
Turku also was without tele-
phone contact from $50 to 1890
o'clock last night, indicating an
alarm had been sounded there.
Finnish informants here esti-
mated the Russians carried out the
lattack with 200 bombers. Reports
reaching the Swedish press placed
the size of the raiding force at ap-
iproximately 100 planes. Russian
planes were said to have penetrated
to the center of Helsinki.
The attack came as the Finnish
government was reported consider
ing Russian armistice terms.

Use Of Ration Tokens
To Start Today Under
New 0PA System
Will Be Circulated
As Change for New
10-Point Stamps

A new experiment in rationing
begins for the Nations house
wives today, as more than a bill
lion red and blue ration tokens
start circulating as change for
the new 10-point stamps in War
Ration Book No. 4.
The new system, which the OPA
says will eventually cut by 60 per
cent the number of stamps consum-
ers and food merchants exchange
each week, will get its first crucial
test tomorrow as few stores will be
open today.
More than 2,OOO, 900 of the plastic
tokens which are about the size of
a streetcar token are now in the
hands Of local stores, and banks
will continue to distribute them to
dealers as they apply for additional
supplies, according to spokesman
for the District Bankers Associa-
ton. Banks here started out with
4,875 900 tokens.
Beginning today and continuing
through May 20, red stamps A-8,
B-8 and C-8 in Book No. 4 will be
worth 10 points each--and not eight
points as originally printed-in the
purchase Of all meats, including
canned meats, and for butter, mar
garine, lard. cheese, canned fish
fats, oils and canned milk. If your
purchase does not come up to an
even 10 points, the butcher will give
you red tokens or brown one-point
stamps in Book No. as change.
For the same period, blue stamps
AS, B-8, C-8, D-8 and E-8 in
Book No. will be good for 10 points
each in the purchase of canned
and frozen foods. Your grocer will
give blue tokens or green one-point
stamps from Book No. 3 in change
Every two weeks, three new red
stamps will become valid. Blue
stamps will be validated in sets of
five at the start of each month,
under OPA plans.
The tokens will be good indef-
initely. In no case, however, may
stamps be cashed outright for a full
10 points in tokens.
OPA officials say they expect "a
few days Of confusion"

7 Mexican Pipelines
Projected by U. 5. Il
Aid War in Pacific
Will Pump Oil Across
180-MiIe Isthmus
To New Refinery
By RICHARD L. STOKES,
A Washington Correspondent Of the
st Iouis post t-Dispatch

Owing to fuel oil and gasoline
requirements for the soaring
American offensive in the Pa
cific, and the inability of Cali
fornia wells to meet the demand,
the Army and Navy have pro-
jected pipe lines to pump Texas
oil across the Isthmus of Te-
huantepec in Southern Mexico
from Puerto Mexico to Salina
Cruz.
The enterprise has been approved
by the Mexican government, and
construction is expected to be COM
pleted in year.
From a competent source, it was
learned yesterday that there will be
two pipe lines, of "a and SO inches
with daily capacity Of about SOC, ,000
barrels. The project, which will
cost SO to so million dollars, is re-
garded as so urgent that it has been
placed under what is known as a
must go" order.
The undertaking includes dis
mantling of big refinery in Texas
and its re-establishment at Salina
Cruz, and also possible development
Of an existing petroleum pool in the
vicinity of Puerto Mexico. 1t is said
to have been agreed that the facili-
ties will revert to Mexican govern
ment ownership after the war.
The oil will be shipped by tankers
from Houston to Puerto Mexico, and
will be supplied from Texas fields
controlled by the Union and Su-
perior oil companies Of California
Owing to. the wars drain, Texas
stands as the only surplus region fol
petroleum output in the United
States.
The enterprise was made neces-
sary by shortage of tank cars for
transporting Texas oil by rail to
California ports, and deficiency
Of tanker ships for the long water
haul by way Sof the Panama Canal
The route across the Tehuantepec
Isthmus is $50 miles long and follows
level ground, with no elevation ex-
ceeding 745 feet.
California thus far has satisfied
requirements in the Pacific only by
drawing on its reserves, which at
the present rate of consumption
face the prospect of total exhaus-
tion within IN ominously brie1
period.

Ey the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sunday, Feb. 81
The German Army appeared to
be retreating rapidly from all of
Northwestern Russia today as
Moscow announced that Soviet
forces yesterday had not only
captured two railway stations on
the roads to Pskov but had over
run 318 localities and ousted the
Germans from los miles OF a
north-south railway less than 10
miles from Latvia.
Moscow said the great Russian
advance-which in some places was
moving at the rate of 10 miles day
was nearing Pskov, communica-
tions center and key to the Baltic
states, from three directions. In
addition, to the south, the Rus
slams were declared to have won
complete control of the 105-mile
section of the Odessa
trunkline between Dno and Novo-
sokolniki.
Both of these advances were made
on a continuous 175-mile front ex-
tending from the shore Of Lake
Pskov, and running about 20 miles
north Of Pskov to the Leningrad-
Pskov railway where the station of
Novoselye, Is miles northeast of
Pskov was captured yesterday.
Swift Advance Pictured.
Then the line swings to the south
east across the Leningrad-Pskov
highway and down to the newly
captured town of Porkhov, As miles
east OF Pskov on the railroad from
Staraya Russa. Then it continues
south along the Novosokolniki rail-
way to the station of Ustrugi, 1s
miles west of Novosokolniki on the
railroad to Riga.
That was the line as pictured by
two broadcast Moscow communicates
recorded by the Soviet monitor.
The communiques also presented
picture of swift, general Russian
advance, with the Germans putting
up strong fights for occasional
hedgehog positions.
In the advances which captured
Porkhov and Novoselye-the drive
on Pskov and its four railways and
two highways - more than 150(
Germans were killed, Moscow said
In this area $50 communities were
taken. South Of Porkhov, the las,
important town before Pskov, the
Russians crossed the Shelon Rive,
and reached the Porkhov- Chikha
fchevo highway.
Hitler Reported at Front.
On the second part of this front
the area from Porkhov south tt
Novosokolniki, 2l8 localities, were
reported captured, including eight
railway stations. The German.
thus were forced back to the Pskov.
Idritsa railroad for North South
communications.
Meanwhile Hitler was reported to
have hurried to the northern front
to investigate the causes of recent
German defeats in this section
where the Nazi armries have faller
back steadily toward the Estonian
Latvian and Polish borders.
Quoting Swedish source, the
French radio at Algiers said Hitler
had gone to the front with stafl
generals to bolster Nazi resistance.
Another French broadcast from
Algiers, quoting a Swiss source, said
Marshal Georg Won Kuechler had
been imprisoned in a fortress at
Koenigsberg for INSTRUMENTATION to
Hitler in disobeying orders to hold
his northern front at all costs. Mar
shall Won Kuechler 10 days ago was
reported to have been relieved OF
his command.
