line with the promise represented in
an exchange of letters which it will
be remembered took place between
the President of the United States
and Maxim Litvinoff, the Peoples
Commissar of Foreign Affairs in 1888.
Mr.. Roosevelt formally requested for
Americans resident in Russia "the
same freedom of conscience and reli-
gious liberty which they enjoy at
home" The Soviet diplomat replied
that his government "accords the
nationals of the United States" in
Russia "the right to free exercise of
liberty of conscience and religious
worship" which, he explained, was
supported by the decree of January
%, 1918, under which every person
may profess any religion or none"
The normal principle of tolerance
is involved in a constructive inter-
probation Of the Russian law, re-
peated in the constitution of 1896.
What was granted to strangers here
after may be conceded to such native
born inhabitants of the Soviet Union
as may wish to worship in the
manner OF their prerevolutionary
ancestors.
Evening star., 1943-09-07
The Weaker Sex

Most Americans know that the
PAT. the "Thunderbolt" OF the Army
Air Forces, is the latest and sup
1posedly the most powerful OF our
land-based fighter planes. But not
so many know that this plane is be-
ing regularly flown by women pilots:
The story of these women pilots
the Womer's Auxiliary Ferrying
Squadron-is told in an article in
this months issue OF Air Force, the
official service journal of the United
States Army Air Forces. It was Just
year ago that the WAFS was or
ganized, its function being to ferry
military planes from factories to the
various Army fields. If women could
do this Job, it was reasoned, men
could be released for other duties.
And the women are doing it.
The PAT Is not the only plane they
fly. Others on the list are the CAT,
Psi. P-39, GEO, Cts, BIS and A-24.
Before long they will be flying A-2os,
P-38s and P-40s. The chances are
that the women will not be assigned
to fly the multi-engined planes, for
these ships. physically, are too hard
to handle, and there will be plenty
of one and two engined planes COM
ing out of the factories to keep them
busy.
At present the WAFS is split up
into four ferrying squadrons, located
at Wilmington, Dallas, Detroit and
Long Beach. 1t is not a military
organization. The women are on
civil service status and the pilots
receive $3.50 month plus Sc per
diem on ferrying missions. No one
would suggest, however, that they
are being paid too much. The head
OF the WAFS is Mrs. Nancy Hardness
Love, whose husband is Colonel
Robert Love, deputy chief of staff
for the Air Transport Command.
Mrs. Love has spent the last thir-
teen years flying. Although most
OF the members are young in years,
they are all seasoned pilots. Original
requirements called for 500 hours
flying time, but the average for each
OF the girls in the first group of
twenty-five members was 1852 hours
of flying experience.
For what it may be worth in the
way of comfort to the male of the
species, the girls say they recognize
that there is a distinction between
merely ferrying a warplane and put
ting it through its tactical PAGES.
For the time being, at least, they are
content to leave the combat flying
to the men.
