On the eastern front, 185 miles
north of Lake SuvantO, the com
munique said, the Russians were
"felled" in fighting that was still
proceeding east of Lieska.
The enemy ..also has been
pushed back across the frontier
northeast of Lieska," the com
munique added.
It Is In the Lieska area that a
firing battalion of white-clad "ski
raiders". Is reported to hare
crossed the frontier In an effort
to stab. at the only Russian line of
northern . communications, the
Murmansk-Leningrad railway.
Third Attempt Made
To Cat Rail line
The railway la approximately
150 miles from the border In that
vicinity. '
' But about 225 miles farther
north. In the Salla area, a third
group of ski troops was reported
on a daring raid In an effort to
alip through the Russian lines to
cut the railway only 45- or 60
miles from 'the border a t that
point. . r
Favored by snow and dark
kles. and with luck In dodging
Russian troops, ski raiders are
able to travel 30 to 35 miles in a
day.-
Unconfirmed reports said some
of . these raiders already had
reached the railway.
Finland's ski troops trayel with
40 to 50 pounds on their backs
their rations and blankets and
carry light machine guns and even
light artillery pieces with them.
.They also can carry explosives
for blowing up a railway in the
manner reminiscent of Lawrence
ot Arabia, who led lightning ex
peditions against the Turks in the
World war under vastly differ
ent" climatic conditions.

not as catastrophic as some think.
There Is a shortage only in meat
products, fats, and feed for cat
tle. It will be three years before
the food situation, becomes crit
ical enough to be effectual.
"Germans are a patriotic people
who will bear any sacrifice if they
think it is for the fatherland."
JIank said there is absolutely
- nothing new about naxiism or Hit
lerlsm, and that Hitler obtained
the material for his book, "Mein
Kampf." from books written by a
Frenchman and an Englishman.
"The Englishman said Munk,
"was none other than Neville
Chamberlains grand uncle."
. The Germans hare long been
cduated to the belief they are a
superior race and are destined to
rule the world, Munk said, citing
well - known philosophers who
taaght the superiority of the nor
dies. Munk gare the allies bat little
better than a 50-50 chance to de
feat Germany and Russia. He cau
tioned Americans to do Just what
.they are doing, make every at
tempt to preserve the liberties
once had by Czechoslovakia.
While he gare Finland credit
for making a gallant stand, he
held no hope for the country's sur
viTal. "It is but a matter of time
and weather until Finland falls,"
he said. "The only thing that
could tare her would be troops
not a few, bat 200.000 or so from
France or England."
.Influenza, Colds
; f Lead Illness List
Dr. Vernon Douglas of the Mar
lon county health department re
torted Thursday that there hare
keen .many cases ot influenza and
eplds In Salem and throughout
the .county. One case of scarlet
fever has been reported at Jef
ferson. t: The reports at the health de
partment show that the number
Of cases ot measles la low and that
Salem and Marion county have
not had an epidemic for several
fears. There are many children
who are not immune from meas
les and there probably will be an
Increase In the number of cases.
Ipeaslea Is not a serious disease ex
cept for pre-school children who
should hare special care.

Distribution of

PORTLAND. Ore., Dee. Zi(Jf)
-Bonneville Administrator Paul
J. Rarer predicted today distri
bution of Bonneville power
through public utility districts
would be speeded by a Washing
ton supreme court decision.
Dr. Raver said the decision
dissolving an injunction against
purchase of private power' lines
by the Grays Harbor PUD would
make early delivery of Bonne
ville power possible to the Grays
Harbor and Skamania, Wash.,
public utility districts.
"While I have not seen the
decision. It is my understanding
that the court's action upholds
the right of a district to buy Its
distribution lines with bonds that
will . be paid solely from electric
revenues and which will not be
a general tax obligation," Raver
said.

turned out to be less Important
than It seemed while congress de
bated It for Americans seem de
termined to keep out of the Euro-
pean war and sre finding It pos
sible In spite of their sympathy
for England, France and particu
larly Finland.
To illustrate his point that con
gress had resumed its constitu
tional function, Mott pointed to
the defeat ot every political ad
ministration bill spending and
lending, extending the housing au
thority program and others pas
sage of anti-administration bills
such as the Hatch bill and the re
strictions on WPA to avert polit
ical racketeering. At the same
time, he said, non-political ad
ministration bills such as those in
volving national defense were ap
proved. All this became possible be
cause the republican minority
was doubled to 19 f members so
that if 50 democrats balked, ad
ministration bills failed. Mott
explained.
Defeat of the Townsend bill
should not discourage 'its advo
cates, for it received about one-
third of the votes cast,, and leg
islation of this type takes time
for education, the speaker as
serted. He declared members of
congress were almost unanimous
ly in favor of adequate old-age
pensions, but that the $200 a
month ' misconception ot . the
Townsend bill had handicapped
it.
Mentioning that he had been
named on the republican policy
committee In the house, Mott said
he would favor cost-of-productlon
and loan refinancing measures as
a plan for agriculture. Roads leg
islation, more vital to Oregon
than to many other states, suf
fered because of presidential op
position; really based upon the
'executive department's lack of
control over It, - he explained,
adding that If there is a re
publican majority In the house
in 1941, he will be chairman of
the roads committee and in posi
tion to see that this legislation
gets due consideration.
The program opened with sev
eral numbers by the Republican
club 20-piece band, directed by
Douglas Jaquith. The speaker was

of 25 per cent In the normal av
erage consumption. Matter-of-fact
British accounts of the new ra
tioning pointed out that enemy
Germans get only 8 ounces ot
sugar a week.
Butter rations will .be tour
ounces per person a week, a re
duction of nearly 50 per cent
from normal, and only .05 ounce
more than the German ration.
Bacon and ham will be cut down
to four ounces a week, begin

in Germany get 2.27 ounces of
bacon each week, when It lsjiva li

meats.
Meat in general in Great. Brit
ain will be rationed on a basis
of value, rather than weight. No
date was set for meat rationing
to begin, but it probably will be
In February.
Sweet-toothed Britons had the
consolation that the sugar rations
will not (.cover manufactured
jams, -candies, and the like. How
ever, they were told there would
be an "appropriate" cut In sup
plies ot such goodies.
Marmalade end jam, which the
English eat in huge quantities,
already is rationed in Germany.
The British provided for home
made breakfast marmalade
(usually eaten last as a sort of
dessert) by allowing housewives
to lay in extra sugar supplies at
the rate of three pounds for erery
two. pounds of oranges purchased
for preserving. There will be sim
ilar extra ration allowances for
other home "put up" preserves.
Excluded from meat rationing
will be: liver, hearts, kidneys,
tongue, tripe, sausage pies, poul
try, -game and fish.
Pork pies and kidneys are
standard fare here.
In explanation of the new ra
tion! orders, the food ministry
said Germany's war aalnst Brit

that "rationing still Is desirable

the mere numerical enrollments

1.000.0QO shields would be
slaughtered by 100 men armed
with 100 of the army's new semi

baker's dozen of the army's new
tanks.
Mr. Roosevelt Indicated he
would ask the forthcoming ses
