P a r a d e In Square.

By Henry Cnssidy Associated Press Staff Writer

MOSCOW, May 1 —(APt -Mas- sea of truck-borne infantry and new motorized artillery were attractions today in Soviet Russia's I traditional May Day parade in Red

Fquare: and Defence Commissar S. I K. T‘mo=henko fold spectators that i the Red army was mobilized against

"accidents" and “the trlcks of our foreign enemies."

Also prominent were youths of 14 to 1'1 in the silver-buttoned black unlfams of the state labor reserve which was created last November.

A procession of 300 aircraft con- cluded tbe show, roaring through the clear blue skies while tanks clanked along below.

The Soviet news and propaganda agency Tass said 1n its report of the parade that an "especially strong impression" was created by dive- bombers which plunged at enor- mous sneed from high altitudes to- ward the packed square.

Tess also said powerful long range uuns participated for the first time in 11 show and that the tanks were. led across the square by a great number of "land destroyers."

The news agency reported about 2.000.000 persons took part a fire-hour demonstration of "love and loyalty" to Joseph Stalin after thr- milltary parade.

The civilian paraders carried ban- 1191's and lirgc pictures of Soviet leaders and banners emphasizing the Soviet "peace-lhrough-prepar- edness" theme.

Stalin and other Soviet notables witnessed the spectacle. Timoshenko, in the keynote speech opening the celebration and in a 511813181 armv order of the day, expressed hope for the end of war “tine sooner the better," but, warn- e .

"The entire Soviet people and the Red Army and navy must be in a state of fighting preparedness." Tlmoshenke said the April 13 neu- trality pact with Japan was evi- dence that the Soviet Union "keeps out of war and resists its exten- sion." but warned that Russia was ready "to offer an annihilating re- buff to any encroachment by 1m- perialists."

Pays warm tribute To British Navy

(By Larry Allen, Associated Press Sta Writer) ALEXANDRIA. May 1—(APl-— For almost a year I have had a grandstand seat on the bridges, conning towers and signal decks of Britain's mightiest battleships. s ecdiest cruisers, destroyers and a rcraft carriers watching the struggle for supremacy of what Mussolini once proudly proclaimed Mare Nostrum-“our sea."

From the moment I was the first accredited correspondent with the fleet I thought the personnel had what it takes to win a sea war.

Now I am convinced Britons have whatever is needed in cour- age. resourcefulness, iron determin- ation and skill. to bombard. ~~the enemy bases, and perhaps to wipe the Italian navy from the Medl- terranean and the Nazi and Italian bombers out of the sky.

This calla for long chances. but the British command is taking them.

They sent warships dashing over the sea at topspeed, hoping and praying to contact the Italian fleet-unaware of the enemy's naval sir strength and not caring.

The battle of Matapan may have permanently extln ulshed the glimmering hopes of I Duce for making the remnants of his once

roud war fleet a decisive factor n the Mediterranean.

Earlier, I saw Goering’: hund- picked dive-bombing pilots try to scare the British flee out of the Mediterranean by makin one of the most punishing attache of war

history on the aircraft carrier l Illustrious.

She got hits from 1,000-pound

But her offioerl and men brought her into port under her own power after the hell had ended. Their one burning ambition was to "make them play" for that bombing.

Nests of German dive-bombers were blasted off their Sicilian bases. I think the Britons are de- finltel taking the measure of the Naz

Tripoli, Italy's strongly fortified base in northern Africa. Formations of enemy planes fre- quently attempted to get close en- ough to bomb the warships. Not a single bomb was dropped but Bri- tish fighters shot down seven planes.

Tripoll un uestlonably was one of the mos daring attacks in naval history.

Every war technician known that a fleet usually is no match for ex- pert‘y manned coastal defences. The fact that ‘rripoli had a long string of six to 12-inch batteries, that the harbor waters were heav- ily mined. and that there was great danger from mass Nazi and Italian air attacks on the war- ships didn't deter Admiral Cun- ningham from his resolve to hand the Barbary coast enemy den n dose of steel it wouldn't soon for- .K€ - From the conning tower of the heaviest armed batt eship, I watch- ed 1.000 tons of high explosive and armor-ripping shells flung at Tripoli harbor in n. thunderous 45- minute barrage so terrific I thought the minimum personal effect would be a bad case of shell- shock. My half-blinded e es were seared by great flashes rom the fire of guns.

This was at the firing end. The tremendous. crushing force of shells exploding in Tripoli can onlv be imagined.

Twelve hours after the last lil- lnch shells were fired, I touched lthe gun barrels. They were stilll iot.

SPOTLIGHT ON MONTlALBAN

Molly Baicon bought an evening paper from the stand outside the hospital gates. She lingered for her usual few minutes of casual conver- sation with the little man who hiid been there so long that he regarded the Margaret Seward Clinic as nis own idea. and the terrace beds of the convalescent children as his own particular charge. _

Willie. they called him. though that. was not his name. Molly was an old friend of his, and one whom he saw far too seldom nowadays. since she had set up in business for ner- self somewhere on the fringes of the medical quarter.

He Diesented the paper with a flourish, headlines up.

“There you are. miss! What cl'l tell you? They've been a/nd let 'em orf!" "Who is it they've let off?" said Molly, She spread the sheet wide. and looked at the headings. "Not. Guilty Verdict. 1n Montalban Case. Jury Atcqult Ralph Montaban.’ Well, well; I haven't the least idea what he's supposed to have done, but there's a chance the jury's right, and, he didn't do it." "What a ‘ope?’ said Willie scath- ingly. "Take a look at 'ls mug. miss. Don't he look bom to hang?"

She glanced casually at the photo- graph of the acquitted man. and‘ w a dark. lean shadow of a. face.‘ hollow-eyed and hawk-nosed. “It certainly wasn't on his innocent and appealing looks he got the verdict." ,she remarked. “Maybe the case Just wasn't so hot. Anyhow. I'll tell vou what. I think about it next time I'm here." It was a promise she dld not ful- fil. She remembered lt afterwards with a wry smile. though _at the time it passed for a casual Joke. In all probability she would not even have troubled to read through the report if her bus had not run nvo a solid hold-up a quarter of a mile long. Everyone else in the Lil's stem- ed to be talking about the Mental-

but I suppose he knew nothing-or put over the impression he know nothing."

Molly could not choose but listen. The pcsitlon- was becoming some- what clearer, though the number of the Montalbams was still indefinite. Moreover. her mind had apparently gone no great way from he truth in its summing-up of the fiunllv as expressed in the face of Ralph. Land-proud, feudal, clannish-all these were according to the gentle- man who actually knew something of them.

The bus moved stealthily. Then the traffic block broke magically, and Molly heard no more, for the man with inside information folded his paper away into a. pocket, and disappeared.

l I I Molly's flat was in a. new block in square in Bloomsbury. a pleasant dwelling-place, but small ior the assortment of portable goods and chattels which her fellow-ten- unt. Rose Wyndham, had brougnt into it with her. Rose was twenty- tlirec, and a typist; in a publisher's office. Her admirers were legion, and the variety of their casual pre- sents to her astonishing. She loaded

The detail was Krone: the case. practically sneeltlml. “T5 none; there remained only the vet-t dict. and the verdict was "Not Guilty." She looked again at the picture of Ralph Montalban. I It. was not so much the face of a, man as of a period. and a remote l‘.€l‘1Cd. too. There were still a fcw Elizabethans reaming the sntall r ports of England. and shc had rptt at least. one masterful and mIoler-I ant merchant-adventurer who cor-y trlved to be pure Plantagenet; huti this face was English with a differ- once.

The case for the defence had. cnilcd E110 witnesses today. the accused man's mother and a man-servant.

As alwtyvs on the days of Molly's visits to the Margaret Seward Clinic, Rose was home first. She was not in the living room. she was not in the bedroom: but her clothes were strewn over 111a carpet, and her voizc issued in song from behind the closed deer of the bathroom. to the accompaniment a delectable Slllilfilllhl and a curl of perfumed steam.

She broke off upon a high note. "Is that vou, dzzrllng?"

"Yes. if you tneun Molly."

"A man rang you up about half an hour ago."

"U11! Who was it? Did he leave a message?"

“Somebody called Doctor Leonard. The number's dovm on the pad by the ‘phone-if I left lt by the ‘phone. Hare a look on the side table."

Molly b1ll'1‘O\\'E£l beneath two gay- corcred magazines and the mom- .111‘.'s paper, and found the telephone, bud. “All right I've got it."

"What will it b2? A11 outside job?"

"I expect so. It usually is when I/eonartl calls me in."

"Bad luck! It was a trunk call- must be well out of town. What are we going to do about. these tickets for the theatre next Thursday iutzht?"

Ashurst Green 1458-11 number she diti not remember. but she had nud no communication from octor Leonard for some three months. She smiled. remembering the dynam-c young man who had kept a WlIOAG hospital staff upon its toes and armed to be everywhere at once. What would he find to do at a place ctillccl Ashurst Green?

While she was waiting for her call Rosc emerged from the bathroom. a nymph wrapped in flowered satin. hcr face flushed and her eyes shirt- iug with curiosity. She sat down in the middle cl‘ a Welter of cushiors tinder the standard lamp, and con- tinued to comb her very pretty hair, as befitted a siren.

The call was put through at that moment, and there was the voice of the man himself in Molly's ear. "Hulle. that you. Nurse Balcon?"

“Yes. I just got back from_ the Clinic. I'm still doing an occasional job there in the massage room, you know, but they're well staffed l! You want. me."
