Soviet Tries to
Crash Across
Entire Isthmus
(Continued from page 1
though many bombs were dropped
yesterday damage was relatively
slight. It said that probably 1,000
bombs fell In the town of Rlthimakl
and the surrounding area alone.
Today's two alarms In the capi
tal were of 10 minutes each, one
beginning at 8:30 a. m., the second
at 8:50.
Deny Kolvlsto Taken
The semi-official Finnish news
agency denied a Russian army com
munique that the reds had cap
tured the Finnish coastal fortress of
Kolvlsto, western anchor of the
Mannerhelm line on the Karelian
Isthmus.
The agency said Kolvlsto was still
In Finnish hands and intact despite
unrelenting Russian attacks.
Apparently attempting a knock
out blow from the skies, the Soviet
aerial armada ranged southern
and central Finland through the
nignt and into the early mornlna
hours, sending bombs crashing onto
cities, railways and roads.
Nothing In the world's wars to
date approaches the power of the
Russian aerial offensive.
"Very many enemy tanks were
destroyed," the Finns said, In the
western sector near the Gulf of
Finland, scene of some of the war's
heaviest fighting which has brought
the Russians within a few miles of
Viipurt
Enemy losses were described as
heavy at Talpale where Finns said
"the fighting raged fiercely until
late at night."
Northeast of Lake Ladoga, SO
miles from the isthmus front, there
was relative quiet on the sector
where Finland two days ago report
ed wiping out a Russian division,
but "a few enemy strong points
were captured."
Kuhmo Drive Fails
A Russian attempt to send rein
forcements to surrounded detach'
ments near Kuhmo, about midway
on the Russian-Finnish frontier,
was repulsed.
Finnish planes scouted behind the
Soviet lines and bombed Russian
encampments during a day which
saw extensive aerial activity ex
tending into the night.
."Several fierce air battles" were
reported both In the war zone and
far behind the lines but "In many
cases attacks by enemy formations
were foiled and formations disper
sed." The Finns charged a passenger
train was machine-gunned and In
one locality an . infants' nursery
damaged by bombs. However, only
"a couple of civilians" were reported
killed in the raids.
Air Raids Resumed
Two air raid alarms sounded In
Helsinki as Russian warplanes re
turned to Finland to follow up their
far-ranging raids of yesterday In
which 10 persons were killed and
20 hurt in attacks on at least 30
communities.
Eight hundred Russian planes
were authoritatively estimated to
have participated In yesterday's
raids, which continued into the early
morning.

Salmon Fishing
Tied Up by Strike
Astoria, Feb. 21 VP) Two hun
dred boats In the lower Columbia
river winter fishing fleet left tht
drifts today to protest price reduc
tions.
The Columbia River Fishermen's
Protective union said the tie-up, the
first In the history of winter opera
tions to supply the fresh fish mar
ket, was a "walkout" but not a
strike.
Fishermen demanded IB cents a
pound for salmon and 10 cents a
pound for steelhead. Buyers re
cently cut salmon to 13 cents and
s tee mead to eight, attributing the
decline to release of frozen Alaska
stocks and the unseasonal troll
fishing off the Washington coast.
For quoting articles from foreign
newspapers derogatory to German',
a Swiss citizen, aged 66, has been
sent to Jail in Brunswick. Germany.
