Stalin was acompanied by lead- ers of the Communist Party and the Government as he walked with brisk step from the Kremlin to the stairs that ascend to the tribune above the tomb.

The military part of the parade was relatively small this year, while banner-carrying civilians and colorfully garbed sports groups passed the reviewing stand by the thousands. ‘

The long-moustached Marshal Samson Budycnny was the re- viewing officer. In a speech be- fore the parade began he declared that the Russian people are mov- ing toward new successes in ach- ieving Communism, equal rights of people and "honest collaborat- ion between nations." He con- cluded with "hurrah for Comrade Stalin!"
