Won PauIus 10 Work
For German Unity
On KremIin's Terms

MOSCOW, Sunday, Nov. /, (P).
German Field Marshal Fried
rich Won Paulus, the loser at
Stalingrad more than 10 years
ago, was quoted today as saying
in a formal statement before
being repatriated to East Ger
many: Il came to the Soviet
Union as an enemy but I am
leaving as a friend"
The statement to the Soviet
government. dated October "a
and printed in all Moscow papers
today, pledged him to work for
the reunif1cation of Germany on
the basis of the Soviet terms in
a note to the Western powers on
August Is.
The East German government
announced last Monday that Won
PauluS, who surrendered his
365, ,000-man army in February,
1943, and who had been in the
Soviet Union ever since, had been
returned to an unspecified resi-
dence in East Germany.
Called for Farley.
The Soviet note of August Is
to Britain, France and the
United States called for a con-
ference of all interest parties"
within six months to write a
peace treaty for Germany and
urged immediate creation of a
provisional alderman govern
ment to hold elections. Russia
proposed that mass Democratic
organizations" participate in the
government Can apparent 1efer-
ence to the Communist Free
German Trade Union Federation
and similar organizations).
The 63-year-old Won Paulus
denounced West Germany'S
treaties for a European army, in
which she would be allied with
the West, and declared his
sacred aim" was friendship
with the Soviet people,"
II am convinced" he said,
that the only real path to the
peaceful reunification of Ger
many and peace in Europe is an
agreement between the Germans
themselves and the conclusion
of peace treaty based on the
Soviet note to the Western
powers on the German question
dated August Is. That is why I
decided on returning to my
fatherland to spare no effort in
order to facilitate reaching this
sacred aim"
Regrets NaZi Attack.
He thanked the Soviet govern
ment for its "conciliatory" de-
cision recently to repatriate more
German war prisoners and ex-
pressed regret for the suffering
caused the Soviet Union by Ger
many'S aggressive war"
He said he had aided that
war "in blind obedience" and
added:
My personal experience and
also the results of the second
World War convinced me that
the fate of the German people
cannot be based on the idea of
domination, but only on pro-
longed friendship with the So
Wet Union and other peacelov-
ing peoples. That is why it
seems to me that the military
agreements signed in the West,
founded on the idea of domina-
ton, are not an appropriate
means for the peaceful reunifi-
cation of Germany and securing
peace in Europe. Furthermore
these agreements are intensity
ing the danger which is caused
by the division of Germany and
they also prolong this division"

there may appear to be no young
birds, while in more favorable
seasons there may be number OF
broods and plenty of young to be
seen.
The Scaled Gail are also called
'blue quail" and ''cotton-tops" and
as is so often the case, a combina-
ton of these common names gives
us a reasonable description of the
animal. The general effect is a
light blue. The feathers of the
neck and breast are light gray
blue with dark borders making the
animals appear to be scaled. The
top of the head has short crest
that is white-tipped giving the
name cotton-top and white-top.
The back, tail and wings may ap-
pear to be dull brownish. The
wings at rest may be marked on
their inner margins by a white
streak. The young birds of the
year are almost indistinguishable
from the adults except for their
smaller size. The very young may
show brownish crest and many
of the feathers have white shaft
streaks that do not appear in the
mature birds.
The Scaled Quail is about 1 foot
in length. 1t builds its nest under
low vegetation, sometimes in a
grain field. From IL to IA thick
shelled, lusterless, creamy eggs,
usually dotted with reddish brown,
are laid. The food of these quail
is more largely insects than is the
case with most other quails and
may be up to 20 per cent animal
matter. About so per cent of the
total food is weed seeds and the
remaining part is fruits.
Apparently the recuperative
power of the Scaled Quail is such
that with reasonable management
its numbers may be maintained in
the area where it is normally
found. 1t is with the determina-
ton of what these management
practices may be and the applica-
ton of what is known about wild
life in general that the National
Wildlife Federation is concerned.

NEW HOME FOR
S. S. WORKERS
Moved June 1 From Old Gus

ter 10 Years of Service
S5OO,OOO MONTHLY PAID

The Social Security office open
ed June 1 in its new quarters at
S13 West Street in Wilmington.
The Office, Social Security head
quarters for all parts of Delaware,
has moved into the West Street
address from the Old Custom
House Building on King Street
where it has been the landmark for
social security in the State for
more than ten years. The initial
Social Security location in Della
ware was in the Odd Fellows Build
ing at 10th & King Streets. 1t
was there that it opened its doors
to the public late in 1916, with two
employees. In line with the growth
of the Social Security program,
there are now fifteen employees
connected with the office, one sta
toned permanently at Dover. Ac-
cording to Myron Milbouer, man.
ager of the Delaware Office, the So
cial Security Administration starts
operating from the 813 West Street
office with close to 10000 residents
of the State receiving in the neigh
borhood of $5O0,0O0 a month in
bebeft payments. More than 5000
of these-young widows and chill
dren as we'll as older beneficiaries
are in New Castle County. APP
proximately $500 are receiving
monthly payments in Sussex Coun-
ty, and 1900 in Kent County.
Must Remember Location
Not all persons in the State will
have to change their habits by 60
ing to the new location at West
Street when they need a social Sc
curity account number or wish to
file an application for old-age in

In years when the rains visit the
usually arid Southwest of the
United States, little coveys of blue
gray quail may be reasonably
abundant except where overgraz-
ing may have cancellde out the
advantages brought by the rains.
These quail range from western
Oklahoma, western Texas and
southern Colorado south through
Arizona and New Mexico to south
ern Sonora and northern Chi
huahua. Scurrying must well be
defined as the way in which these
pleasing animals get over the
ground. They may move slowly
for a few initial steps, but when
they decide that it is best to be
elsewhere they move and move
rapidly.
Scaled quail are to be found in
two varieties: The Arizona Scaled
Quail, whose range is much as de-
scribed; and the Chestnut-bellied
Scaled Gail, whose range in the
United States is limited to south
ern Texas but which is more gen.
orally thought of as a Mexican
bird.
These quail are typical of The
desert country though they are Of
ten the commonest quail arounC
ranch houses and associated culti
waited lands, In the fall months
they are likely to be found a
slightly higher elevations than il
the case during the nesting season
However, covey may spend it
entire lifetime within a relativel,
small area. The abundance of tn
quail varies definitely with the ma
ture of the season. In dry year

TREE AIR CONDITIONING

Should Extend to Trees
The trend to air conditioning new
homes should extend to trees on
the construction site. The equiv
alent of simple "snorkeP' system
to ENABLE roots to breathe" will
save the native tree landscape at
traction from death by suffocation.
So says S. P. Engle, field repre-
sentative of the Davey Tree Ex-
pert Co., who points out grade
changes for the country home Of
ten spell death to fine old arboreal
citizens. He cites the case of one
new owner who decided to build
where the house could be framed
by a giant white oak, at least $50
years old. Roots were covered
with heavy clay during grading
Operations. Result: The tree died
in six months. Such a landscape
attraction should get the benefit of
advance planning and preparation
to safeguard its health and beauty.
The professional tree man can
help. He can prepare an aeration
installation that will later allow
the builder to grade with little
harfmul effect on the tree. The
aeration system basically is a
coarse gravel fill from the base Of
the tree to the edge of the root
system. Then drain tile is install
ed around the entire root circum-
