Reds Repelled In Fierce Fight

HELSINKI--The Finnish high command tonight announced that the stonewall defenses of the Mannerheim Line are hurling back Red Army blows at four points on Lake Ladoga to the Gulf of Finland in the fiercest fighting of the war.

Officials denied Moscow's claims that the line had been pierced, and said that at the western end of the fortifications straddling the Karelian Isthmus in the vicinity of Summa, repeated Russian assaults were crushed yesterday, killing, about 700 Russians.
