SOVIETBIRTHDAY INSPIRES PARADE Million Marchers and War Machines Pass Stalin in Red Square. B the Associated Press. MOSCOW, November 7.—A stream of men, women and machines flowed through Red Square today in a salute to Russia's leader, Joseph Stalin, at the dawn of the twentieth year of the Bolshevist Revolution. Estimated unofficially to number 1,000,000, the marchers passed by the mausoleum of Nicolai Lenin, one of the founders of the Soviet state, atop which stood a little group of men who direct Russia’s destinies. In biting cold weather, Stalin stood smartly at attention throughout the demonstration, which took most of the day. He was bareheaded and his right hand, held almost constantly 4n salute, was ungloved. War Machines on Display. For two and one-half hours Rus- sia’s military power was on display. It ranged from well-dressed infan- trymen, marching at quick-step at the head of the procession, to whip- pet tanks and then great lumbering machines with heavy armament. At least a dozen different types of tanks rolled across Red Square, be- sides many trucks and tractors which hauled and carried all types of field guns up to 8-inch pleces. One section of the seemingly end- less mass of humanity and machines was a body of bicycle-mounted first- aid troops. Each man was accom- panied by a husky police dog. ‘There also were machine gun motor cycle troops, with rapid-fire equip- ment mounted on the handle-bars of each motor cycle. About 300 of Russia’s airplanes, mostly bombers and transports, roared low over the square. Army Called Peace Bulwark. Klementi E. Voroshiloff, defense com- mMissar, reiterated Russia’s desire for peace in an address to the troops. The Soviet Army, he declared, was a great bulwark for Russia's safety and for the maintenance of world peace. Wrapped in their celebration of the revolution which overthrew a weak provisional regime after the fall .of the Czar, Russians gave little thought to the fate of Spain, although a uni- formed Madrid delegation had seats of honor in the reviewing stand and was given an ovation by the spectators. Despite Russia’s sympathy with the Madrid Socialist government, qualified observers expressed the view the Soviet administration has decided Madrid’s cause is lost. They said the Russian government probably believes the fight against Spain’s Fascists is not of suffi- cient importance for Moscow to risk any major difficulties with Great Britain, France, Italy or Germany by intervening openly. STATE LABOR LAWS WILL BE DISCUSSED Uniform Standards of Legislation Object of Conference Here This Week. BY the Associated: Press.

Contestants, divided into four classes, competed in three events in each class, with first, second and third place prizes at stake in each class and event. Final awards will be based upon points scored yestere day and at the second half of the competition, an indoor meet to be held in Constitution Hall November 21. Although weather conditions were not of the best for record flying, & number of fine flights were recorded by a staff of timers under general direction of John Williams, Powell Junior High School teacher and su- pervisor of the league, and Richard Tennyson of the District Department of Playgrounds, ‘which sponsors the league. Several of the small planes climbed out of the layer of heavy, chill air which blanketéd the Cavalry parade grounds and, reaching warmer, light- er air above, reached altitudes of a quarter mile or more. Competition was especially keen in the minia- ture glider events and the air was full of tiny, motorless craft, flying erratically in all directions, with contestants and their admirers in hot pursuit below. The contestants were divided into four classes: Ace, pilot, junior pilot and novice. Each class competed in stick model, fuselage model and glider events. There was an added gasoline engine-powered event and plans are being made for a large-scale contest later for this latest and most powerful type of model aircraft. Although final awards are to be based upon the results of the outdoor and inddor contests combined, some of the preliminary results were an- nounced late yesterday as a result of the opening contest. Some of the classes were incomplete and will not be announced until after the close of the indoor meet. The largest point winner yesterday was John Ginnette, 1262 Holbrook terrace northeast, who captured a total of 15 points through victories in the glider, hand-launched and rise- off-the-ground events for stick mod- els, in the ace class. Zell Steever was second in the ace class with 8 pc;xnu, as a result of two second-place wins, In the pilot class, Dudley Hill was powerful all electric hearing ald made today.

JUDGE GIVES UP ROAD JURISDICTION McMahon Frees Man Arrested for Speeding on Highway in Virginia. Jurisdiction over a short strip of No. 1 highway leading to the Fourteenth Street Bridge over the Potomac was dropped in the lap of Virginia au- thorities yesterday when Judge John P. McMahon in Police Court held that | the District of Columbia and Federal park police have no right to make ar- rests for speeding on the roadway. The decision was made in the case of Clarence E. Brown, salesman, liv- ing at 314 Seventeenth street north- east, who was arrested July 16 by Park Policeman Emmett S. Mast for ex- ceeding 22 miles an hour. Brown pleaded not guilty when ar- raigned on July 17, and the case was continued to July 24, when he with- drew his plea of not guilty and the court allowed three days to file a plea based on jurisdiction. The plea was filed July 28. The United States commissioner in the Alexandria area previously had held that he had no jurisdiction over the “mo man’s land” which consists of six-tenths of a mile on the Virginia side. In disposing of the case yesterday, Judge McMahon sustained the plea of jurisdiction filed by Brown's attor- ney, Milton Kaplan, and dismissed was announced here today.
