BY CORINNE FRAZIER. “Boviet Russia hopes to see all the ehurches in the nation closed by 1935, according to_the observations of Wil- liam Rufus Scott, American journalist who discussed his impressions of Rus- sia gained in a recent tour, speaking before the Woman's National Demo- cratic Club at the weekly forum lunch- | eon_this past week, “The people of Russia aYe not for- bidden worship, so_far as I was able to observe,” said Mr. Scott, “but if they wish to belong to the Com- | munist party, they must renounce God, | religion and the church. The party of- fers boons in the way of government positions, etc., to those who are anti- Teligiaus, and ostracizes those who cling | to_church affiliations.” In addition to the religious situa- - tion in Russia, Mr. Scott reviewed his impressions of the marriage and divorce | laws, the general economic situation | and the status of women. “While all wages are very low and | the woman of ease is scorned through- out Russia, women are on an equal | footing with men in wage earning as | well as before the law,” he declared. “In fact, they are favored to some ex- | tent. I refer chiefly to the status | of married women who must work. Special leave with full pay is granted a woman at the time of childbirth, and all women with babies are allowed time off during the day to care for them and are supplied with a place to leave them during their working hours.” | Mr. Scott was introduced by Mrs. | Kate Trenholm Abrams. | has been invited to join the National Exchange Clubs and the Washington Chamber of Commerce in an effort to have Washington selected as the start- ing point for the national women’s air derby in the national air races, sched- uled for next Summer.

The hes Was on a bill (H. R. 10208) recently introduced | by John L. Cable of Ohio, the author | of the 1022 law, “to amend the law| relative to the citizenship and naturali- | zation of married women.” | Miss Dorothy Straus, a practicing at- torney of New York City, appearing for the National League of Women Voters, introduced representatives of the other organizations. Miss Straus stated that the bill goes & long way toward removing discrimi- | nations and, therefore, it has the sup- | port of the league. She objected to that | provision in the proposed law by which a woman married to a foreigner would | lose her citizenship if she lived abroad | two vears without returning to this country. | “It has been difficult enough,” she £aid, “for a woman to prove her inten- tion to retain her citizenship if she lives | abroad under the 1922 law, but under the new bill she would automatically lose it.” Miss Margaret Lambie of the National | Federation of Business and Professional | Women objected to this same provision, | pointing out that it might often not only be a financial handicap to her to have to return periodically to this coun- try, but if she did not and lost her United States citizenship, it might mean 2 loss of professional prestige.
