Russian Jet Planes Too Fast To View Annual Soviet Air Show Held Sunday Moscow. July 18. —(UP)— For elgn observers ttald today that new type* of Ruttslan Jet fighters displayed In the soviet air show swept across their field of vision at such high speeds they couldn't tell what they looked like. Western military attaches who viewed the annual soviet air show yesterday said they could not describe the appearance or character of the new jets because of their high speed. The planes flashed across Tushino airfield at an altitude of less than 1.000 feet They came into view and disappeared, beyond the horizon before the announcer managed to finish his statement that they were there. A number of the new types were shown in the annual display of soviet air power as well as improved models of three jet fighters displayed in previous show's The jets appeared in such large numbers that foreign air observers said Russia now apparently has them in mass production. The air show was under the direction of Lt. Gen. Vassily Stalin, commandant of air forces in the Moscow military area and son of premier Josef Stalin. Premier Stalin, tanned by the sun. watched the exhibition from a special box in company with other members of the Politburo.

Jehovah Witnesses Meeting Broken Up Blame Hecklers For Oklahoma Fracas Duncan. Okla.. July 18 —(UP)— A fight with Jehovah witnesses was blamed today on "hecklers" in the audience at a meeting of the cult. The fight was broken up by fire chief Ernest Ray and another fireman who sprayed cold water from a 300-gallon tank on the fistswinging battlers. The fracas started during a talk by M. M. Downie of Brooklyn. N. Y, sent by the watch tower society to address the three-day meeting. Witnesses said that hecklers in the audience had harassed Downie during the hot afternoon in the packed auditorium. Suddenly two groups of men marched down an auditorium aisle, each waving an American flag. Several were identified as members of the local American Legion. They mounted onto the stage and apparently tried to take over the rostrum. Someone turned in a fire alarm during the squabble. Two trucks sped to the auditorium. Ray said that when he reached the hall, about two dozen men were milling around on the stage, trading punches. Four or five had bloody faces. "Buck Lawson and 1 took the small hose and pushed our way Inside when we saw fighting." Ray raid “1 turned the hose on them and in less than two minutes it was all over. The local American Legion post denied any knowledge of the brawl. One man, carrying a driver's license issued to W. A. Clark of Choctaw, Okla. was put under protective custody. He said his present address was Oklahoma City. City manager John Bender ordered police to file charges against all persons involved. Resentment against the religious sect, which refuses to salute the flags of any nation on grounds they are “graven images." flared up Saturday night. A witness' camera was broken when a Duncan citizen objected to anyone taking a picture of a downtown building. "A bunch of people in town didn't like the people and what they were saying.” a policeman said. "They said it was UnAmerican and if they didn't like thia country, they ought to go to Russia."
