Peace March Is Due At Moscow Today
Moscow, Oct. 2 (AP)—Thirty peace marchers from the West demonstrated in front of a Soviet Air Force barracks outside Moscow today and had their first brush with regulations against taking photographs of military installations.
Later, the marchers, some of them Americans, continued toward Moscow, where they are due tomorrow afternoon.
“It was a heaven-sent opportunity to get our message out,” said Bradford Lyttle of New York, one of the marchers. “We have made history by demonstrating in front of a Soviet barracks.”

Moscow, Oct. 2—The marchers, sponsored by the Committee for Nonviolent Action, have been welcomed despite the fact that their signs and leaflets advocate unilateral disarmament.
The Soviet press has been giving publicity to the presence among them of Mrs. Regina Fischer of Brooklyn, mother of Bobby Fischer, young United States chess champion.
