II (via Vllpuil) For the third auccesslvo day the red army hammered at the middle defense system In the middle of the Kare lian Isthmus in a critical "battle ot the Mannerheim line." Finns everywhere tlung them back with heavy losses and tenaci ously retained their positions. In tour days ot this battle, the Finns have destroyed or raptured more than 100 Russian tanks. Like yratrrday when more than aM Kuaalau planes flew over the Finn territory, the day dawned sunny and tho air over head throbbed constantly with nirplima motor aa many aerial battles occurred. The number shot down today haa not been compiled officially yet. I spent today at the front on the vital fighting sector between lake Muola and lake Kauk where the bitterest phase ot the battle proceeded for three days. I've just come from there. When I left after dark heavy artillery fighting waa still going on. Dur ing the day our group ot corres pondents had to dive Into the woods for cover four times because ot soviet planes overhead, Thla afternoon I witnessed the most spectacular dog-tight I've seen In any way a fantastic fight. It, lasted tor half an hour. Hlx Finnish planes engaged It' soviet planes, most ot them bomber. l.lko a Hollywood film battle it started In wild melon with IT planes diving, ,tnoiiiliu(, sldrallpplnn and splut tering machine gun bullets. Witnessing this battle convinced ma that the Finna have some ex traordinary fast pursuit planes with akllirul, courageous pilots. Several times I saw Finnish planes pursue even gain, on the soviet planes, even loom up under a Riisslun pluno a few tlmea, gain ing on It tvhllq climbing, Within halt an hour after the battle, another air alarm sounded and 11 soviet bombers came over. Hhortly afterward nine more bomber npiienrt'd In groupa ot three, coming from over the Finnish front at porlmpa M.tKKl feet. They were about three miles front ns. Antiaircraft guns oKncd fire on them. Earlier on the way to the (ronl we were forced to diva Into the woods and heard hundreds ot ex plosions tor a tew minutes in the direction ot Kolrlsto Island, but whether It was bombs or coaatal batteries, or both, ws dont know yet. Much of the time I waa unable to distinguish one plane from an other. In sero cold, the exhausts of the planes left comet-like streamera, smoke lying behind them sometimes for as long aa 10 and IS miles. STATE HEALTH OFFICIAL HERE FOR CONFERENCE Dr. A.
