officer on q tour of the base
and at dinner. 1t later was
learned the NKVD roughed him
up for it.
These are just two Of a series
of examples of what happened.
AS tempers rose, some we're
prone to blame all Russians
at least for putting up with
any such system.
Russian crews flew our
transports to Moscow and be-
tween the bases, but we said
who went as passengers. When
ever an NKVD man climbed
aboard, the plane Immediately
became overloaded" and he
invariably was picked as the
departee. That. of course, didn't
help the situation.
1t didn't get any better and

tent hospital had all but
adopted a bright, blue-eyed,
honey-haired Russian WAC of
perhaps II. They shared their
precious chocolates with her
whenever they got any and
some of the nurses gave her
nylon undies and stockings.
One day a nurse found the
girl weeping brokenheartedly.
She was being transferred, she
said. to a labor battalion at
Stalingrad.
1t. Col. Jack Jackson, our
medics chief, went straight to
Perminov to protest.
The general said the girl was
being transferred for petty
thefts. Col. Jackson protested
she hadn't stolen anything
Finally, Jackson said Perminov
told him:
II can do nothing. The or

party says she must CO."

tation Of magazines and news
papers because some would
contain criticism of President
Roosevelt and other Govern
mental leaders.
An American promise to keep
the newspapers and magazines
among our own was broken.
Many turned up in Russian
hands-and they had adver-
tisements Of many wonderful
things in capitahstic America
which hadn't even been avail
able in Russia before the war.
That. a highly placed officer
was later to explain, is what
caused the ban in the first
place.
The Freeze-Up Begins
Some six weeks after our first
planes shuttled in and out, we
began to note a hesitancy on
the part of our Russian friends.
About the same time we noted
new faces and new uniforms
mingled among the Russian
airmen. These were the faces
and uniforms of the NKVD, as
the state police then were
known.
Soon some of the more
friendly toward the Americans
began to disappear. Trans
ferred to the front" was the
explanation.
At first we had been aware
of only one NKVD, a Major
Maxseemoff, with whom even
Gen. Perminov had to clear
policy matters.

Both sides were respectful.
Our big bombers and engineer
ing know-how awed them.
Their ability to make-do and
knock the Nazis silly with their
mostly outmoded and rattle
trap equipment amazed us.
American correspondents
wrote stories about the CANA
raderie that prevailed-at first.
So did Red Star (the Russian
Army's Stars and Stripes) ,
Pravda (Which translates into
"Truth").
Russian WACS exhibited no
hesitancy in accepting CT dates
to attend showing of American
movies or pairing off at
Russian-sponsored dances and
concerts.
Soviet airmen Joined In

ball.
q. s. Newspapers Go In
Maybe 1t was the beginning
of the end when. after Strenu-
GUS representation on our part.
we got 1t. Gen. Alexander r.
Perminov. the Russian COM
mander, to lift a ban against
A m erican newspapers and
magazines coming in with our
