The plane winged into view from

workers began vaulting and 'clilnb-

after the ship like rapids Of black

While taxing to the hangar with

the fliers, who have come 1880
miles from Moscow to bring greet

from the workers and peasants of
the U.S.S.R. to the American work
ers and farmers, stood up in the
cockpit, acknowledging the enthus-
iasm of the crowd with their hands.
Fliers Speak To Workers.
After the Land of the Soviets had
been slowed into the hangar, which
its wing spread of SO feet just bare
ly managed to make, the Soviet
representatives climbed out onto the
roof, each speaking a few words of
greeting to the workers.
Shestakov carried two huge bou-

presented by delegation of work
ers, which he threw to the crowd
clamoring for souveniers. Charles

nearly the same time as the Soviet
