Jan. 13 (U.PJ Rus sian troops are reinforcing their communication lines and are seek ing to copy Finnish methods of winter warfare, i sports from the Salla Arctic circle front said today. There are occasional Russian at tacks In the area. It was said, but only attacks Intended to keep the Finns away from the road leading back to the Soviet Kandalaksk base on the White sea. Salla reported that comparative ly large Russian units were now us ing skis and wearing the white snow cloaks which the Finn ski patrols made famous. But, It was assert ed, the Russian cloaks lacked hoods so that the heads of troops were uncovered and made excellent tar gets. The Russian skis were reported to be of better quality than those the Russians used early in the war. Some Russian armored cars have been painted white and anti-tank guns the Finns have captured have had white cotton covers. Some expert skiers have been seen with the Russians. They were believed to be Russians from the Leningrad end of the Karelian is thmus. Along the road from the Salla front to Kandalaksk the Russians were reported to have felled thou sands of trees, which they have placed alongside the road as prot.ee tion from Finnish patrols operating in the thick forests. Polish war prisoners were reported to be felling some trees.

Jan. 13 (U.R John L, Lewis of the Congress of Industrial Organizations today Is being count ed out of the Roosevelt new deal army which he helped drill and feed In past campaigns. And it appears now that Lewis has found a place to hang his po litical hat in the pre -convention campaign quarters of Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, (D., Mont.), who Is conducting an un-announced cam paign for the democratic presiden tial nomination. That suspicion increased consid erably yesterda'y when Wheeler's office announced that Lewis had invited the senator to address the ROth anniversary convention of the United Mine Workers in Columbus, O., January 23. It was not one of those doubtful "come and show us that you've got Invitations," but an enthusiastic bid which & candidate could exhibit with some pride. And Wheeler evidently felt Just that way about it. Lewis and Mr. Roosevelt have been pulling apart for some time but without an open break and none is suggested here. But it is a fact that the man who four years ago was actively organizing support lor the presidents re-election cam paign and preparing to loan and give some $500,000 to the cause Is working the other side of the street today.
