force, seizing 2,600 pounds of airmail from a United States
clipper bound for Lisbon via Bermuda, it was learned from

Russian Bombers Set Afire
Swedish Town of Pajala
# By The Associated Press ;
STOCKHOLM, Feb. 21—Seven Russian planes today bombed and
fired the little Swedish border town of Pajala, and although officials
here considered the raid accidental it added new complications to
Sweden’s difficulties over the matter of aid to Finland.
The Swedish government immediately dispatched an envoy to
protest to Moscow.
Four buildings in Pajala, a yillage of 3,000 inhabitants five miles
from the Finnish frontier, were destroyed and others set afire by
the raiders, who descended to 3,000 feet before unloading their
bomb cargo.
The Stockholm newspaper Aftonbladet said half the town was
burning
The terrified inhabitants had
brief warning of the approaching
planes from the village of Kengis,
which is closer to the frontier.
Thus most residents were able to
find refuge. Many fled to the
fields, others crouched in their
homes.
Several bombs fell within 100
feet of the Pajala church where
some villagers were huddled.
When the attack ended the Sov
iet planes followed the frontier
about 20 miles before disappear
ing over Finland.
The Swedish government im
mediately dispatched an envoy to
be received in Moscow by Rus
sian Foreign Commissar Molotov.
The Swedish envoy protested the
bombings, which are the second
violation of Swedish neutrality
since the beginning of the Russian
Finnish war.

Prince Bertil, an heir to the
throne of Sweden, grandson of
Gustav V and son of Crown
Prince Gustav Adolf, is a guest at
Mid Pines Club.

and head of the largest Swedish
automobile company and Gunnar
Hagglof, Chief of the Trade De
partment of the Swedish Fore
ign office.
The Swedish gentlemen arrived
at Mid Pines yesterday for a few
days* rest and golfing. They
have expressed a desire to avoid
public gatherings while here and
it was impossible .last night to
confer with them on the news
that Russian airplanes, accord
ing to Associated Press dispatches,
had dropped between 30 and 40
bombs on the Swedish frontier
village of Pajala, setting build
ings afire.
Prince Bertil served last sum
mer as Sweden’s representative

on January 25th, with members
of the commission to purchase
machinery, steel products, cotton
and petroleum.
Since h}s arrival in the United
States Prince Bertil has made
but few comments upon the pre
sent war situation. His only com
ment has been that Sweden was
“naturally sympathetic to Fin
land” but that the northern Scan- v
dinavian countries were trying
to keep out of Russo-Finnish en
tanglements.
Prince Bertil, Mr. Hagglof and
Mr. Gabrielsson played 18 holes
yesterday afternoon at Mid Pines.
Scores were not revealed,^ but the
Prince, who is in his early thirties,

captured the country. Rulers
from his family have been Known
as the Vasa Kings. GustaV V.
