Vorosh-iloff told the 18th Communist party congress in a speech published today that a vastly augmented Red army and Red air force are ready swiftly to punish any aggression against Soviet Russian territory.

Apparently no worry was felt, however, over the dismemberment of the one-time Soviet ally, Czechoslovakia which was called a "continuation of Munich" and a matter in which the Soviet Union was not directly interested. The changed military situation in Eastern Europe because of Chancellor Hitler's new advance was discounted here and it was recalled that Joseph Stalin last Friday said efforts being made by Soviet enemies to lure Hitler into a war against Russia were "without any visible basis." Voroshiloft disclosed that fast bombing planes capable of climbing nearly 50,000 feet are ready to swoop down on even a distant enemy and can carry three times the weight of bombs possible five years ago.

Undersecretary of State Woer-mann informed Geist that It will he two or three days before the questions, particularly the one referring to the status of the Czechs, can be answered.
