Hensinkl, Dec. 16. (P) So viet Russian troops, attacking in force after a 10-day barrage which raked forests on the Tai pale river, today were hurled back by Finnish troops after a furious battle, the Finnish army reported tonight. The Finnish communique de clared Russia lost "hundreds" of men and 14 of 50 Russian tanks were destroyed. The Finns also said four Russian tanks "drove up to our positions and surrendered." The attack was aimed at out posts of the Mannerheim line on the Karelian isthmus, which Russia has failed to penetrate since the war began 17 days ago. A few battalions of hardy, khaki-clad Finns near Lake La doga, who have endured artil lery shells from two sides day and night for more than a week, still were holding the north liank of the Taipale river. Around them, trees have been splintered and the earth torn by the steady pounding of Soviet shells. Farther down the river, to ward Lake Suvanto, where the Finns voluntarily withdrew a week ago and permitted the Russians to cross, the Soviet command launched 50 tanks. Only 32 returned to. the Rus sian lines after the battle, the Finns said. Moscow, Dec. 17.
