Dec. 4-—(AP)—Fighting Finland to-

against Soviet Russian in-

vaders and steeled herself for new and more vigorous as-

saults expected by land,

sea and air.

This ghost-like capital, deserted except for defenders

and those necessary for vital services, was

grateful for

lowering clouds and snowfall which kept Russian bomb- ers away and gave time to strengthen defences and clear away the debris of last week’s air bombardment.

As night fell without further air raids on Helsingfors a Government spokesman announced that in the eastern sector north of Lake Ladoga the Finns had captured 1,500 Russian troops. He said no further details of the capture

were available.

(In the north, reports reaching Kirkenes, Norway, said 20,000 first line well-equipped Finnish troops were stand- ing off the Russian attack .on the Arctic region of Pet- samo. The reports said several thousand Soviet‘ troops had landed in that area but Finnish leaders declared their well-trained regiments in the for north would not be

pushed back.)

_ The Government remained in almost continuous session but it was said that no im- portant inner political de- velopments had occurred. No decision as to whether the Government would leave I-Ielsingfors had been reach- ed although vigorous ef- forts were being made to board up the city in pre- paration for new bombing raids.
