RED ARMY
IMRESSIVE DISPLAY OF SOVIET MIGHT United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received November 9, 12.3 a.m.) MOSCOW, November 8. The Soviet’s greatest tank display marked the Moscow celebrations of the 18th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution when M. Stalin, from a review stand atop of Lenin’s red marble mausoleum, saw 420 tanks ranging from light amphibians to great land battleships pour across the rough cobbles of Red Square. Thereafter 25,000 troops filed past. Finally nearly 2,000,000 civilian demonstrators paraded, displaying enormous figures of Soviet leaders held aloft by large balloons.
