German Refugees Organize For Cross-Country Journey Dishwater Does Ducks Dirt Hartford, Conn. (U.R) Deter gents may be fine for removing grease from dirty dishes, but they're making life tough for ducks. A sportsmen's group re ports that dishwater, which finds its way into bays and inlets, re duces the oily coating of ducks, making their feathers water logged and giving them trouble swimming. Frankurt, Germany (U.R) An army of tens of thousands of German World War II refugees, embittered and hopeless after eight years of living in ram shackle state-run camps, is or ganizing for a mass cross-country trek this spring in search of new homes and jobs. The march, planned for the end of April or early May, may develop into the greatest mass migration of refugees in Europe since the war. Its leaders claim that up to 300,000 refugees are preparing to join it in vast col umns that will choke the coun try's highways. They are the desperate "hard core" residue of nearly 9,000,000 refugee Germans driven at the war's end from their homes in Soviet-occupied and Polish-occupied eastern Germany and the Sudeten area of Czechoslovakia and dumped on already over crowded western Germany. In Desolate Country About 400,000 still are living rammed in wooden barracks and Nissen hut camps waiting for lag ging resettlement measures by the West German government. Most of the camps are in desolate marshland country scattered over northern Germany up to the Dan ish frontier. Another 100,000 live in camps in Bavaria. The trek leaders plan to lead the refugees into areas of west ern and southwestern Gernlany where the refugee population is relatively, small They announced that thou sands are signing up daily for the march and that only urgent resettlement measures by the Bonn government can stop it. The biggest march columns are being organized in the refu gee camps in Schleswig Holsteln and Lower Saxony, where 250. 000 refugees still are housed in camps and where they comprise roughly one-third of the total population. Most were expelled from their homes In East Prussia and Pomerania as the Red army advanced into Germany In 1945. Leader White-Haired Their leader Is Reinhard No back, 54, white-haired former slaff manager of a factory at Spandau, near Berlin, who has lived since the war with his fam ily in an expellee camp just south of the Danish frontier. In Bavaria, where tens "of thousands of refugees are housed In camps in the desolate wooded mountain area near the Czech frontier, Rudolf Breske, an ex pellee from Danzig is organizing another great trek down towards the big cities of the plains. Leaders claim that funds are pouring in from churches and charitable organizations and that the local farmers have promised to furnish carts, horses and bed- I ding for the refugees if and when they take to the roads. The refugees' plan is to camp in public squares and market places and to stay there until local authorities do something about finding them houses. If they are headed off by police at the entrance to a city they plan to move in by "infiltration" methods. Dead line Sunday Classified! Is at noon Saturdays.
