effected for former DPS, that is

The Amendment is in fact a
thoroughgoing rewrite of the 1853

to bring upwards Of $400 million

period, which would require that
all payments are made between
now and early in 1868.
To achieve this goal the rate at
which indemnification claims are
precessed and settled will have
to be stepped up drasticallY. Al
most two-thirds Of the l0 years
between the, collapse of Nazism
and the scheduled conclusion
have already elapsed. but no
more than oue-fifth of the esti-
mated indemnification total has
so far been received by the sur

German Indemnificafion Bill
Estimated at $l.750. .000. 900
The aggregate past and future
'indemnification outlay by the
Federal Treasury and by West
Germany's nine constituent states,
as well as by West Berlin, is COM
puted at almost $1.75 billion.
Under the state and zonal legisla-
ton in force prior to October
1885, about $3.50 million were
made available to Jewish and
non-Jewish victims of Nazism.
Federal and state disbursements
under the provisions of the 1858
Federal Indemnification Law may
now have passed 5000 million.
Individual indemnification has
thus amounted to little more than
$3.50 million during the entire
postwar era, and of this sum be-
tween one-third and one-half is
estimated to have gone to non
Jews, for the most part German
anti-Nazis who were held in jails
or concentration camps on politi-
cal grounds.

Entering into force in July of
1856, this long-overdue bill is the
final one of the major legal
measures in the field of compen-
sation for individual Nazi victims.
While it satisfied only few of the
demands by Jews who never
lived in Germany before or after

remedy a good many injustices

the spray material being used will
not harm animal and plant life.

ton with the University Ct Del

it is not harmful.
Another factor in the mosquito
control work, according to Mr..

areas require special study and at

conditions.
In this connection he cited about
thousand acres of marsh near
Delaware City where the water
coming into the marsh is controlled
by sluice gates and it is found that
when the water is impounded there
is one type of mosquito in exist
ence but when the water is re-
leased, in order to aid vegetation

of wild life, another type of mos

Mr.. Lynch also stated that the

A Trip To williamsburg

CAS- described by a member of
the Millsboro Homemakess Club
The Millsboro Homemakers Club
recently enjoyed a two-day bus
trip to Colonial Williamsburg. TAX
ing the route by way of the Ches-
apeake Memorial Bridge, we gayly
wended our way, passing through
Richmond and arriving in Will
liamsburg eager for our short stay
in that historic spot.
Our guided tour in the recon
structed area took US through
buildings used by George Wash
ington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick
Henry, and other great leaders who
guided America in the course of
becoming great nation.
In the Capital which was used
between the years of 1699-1780, we
saw the Hall of the House of Bur-
gesses, the Courtroom, and many
other rooms used in the colonial
legislature of Virginia. On this
spot decisions were made leading
straight to the Declaration of In
dependence.
Near the Capitol stood the Pub
lie Jail where minor offenders were
punished by being placed in the
stocks or the pillory to be shamed
by passers-by, or whipped at the
public whipping post. Inside, the
cells offered few privileges for the
debtors and no luxuries for the
criminals.
One of the most interesting high
lights was visit through the Gov
ernor's Palace and Gardens, the
residence of the Royal Governors
and one of the most elegant man
sions in colonial America. Here
we saw much richly beautiful an
tique furniture This place was the
center of social life in the Vir-
ginia Colony.
Another characteristic colonial
dwelling which we visited was the
Wythe mansion, the home of George
Wythe, teacher of Jefferson and
Marshall, and headquarters of
Washington before the Siege of
Yorktown.
