East Prussians Exiled,
Russians Reported
Moving In 200,CI3
By Gault MacGowan
HARZ MOUNTAINS, Russian
Zone Frontier, Aug. 26.—Uprooting
the foundations of the old Prussian
empire, the Red Army is driving
thousands of German men. women
and children westward into exile
across the Oder. In Konigsberg,
the East Prussian capital, 200,000
Russians are reported to have moved
in to replace the Junkers and the
descendants of the Teutonic
ftnights.
The first of the exiles to escape
fearing to live in the Red Slone of
Germany—have crossed the border
here to tell the story of the Sovieti
zation of East Prussia. That re
mote E is tern frontier country of
Germany has been parceled out, they
say, among Slavic and Asiatic peas
ants, and in the barns and outbuild
ings of the former Junker castles
; German men and women are living
i in confinement and go out daily
j under guard to work the, land.
Assigned by Potsdam Pact.
East Prussia was assigned to the
U. S. S. R. under the Potsdam agree
; ixxciii< auu i/iie ivuooianq nave oiiiee
been authorized by Allied agree
ment to abolish Prussia as a polit
ical entity. Germans and their
facilies found there after the re
treat of the Wehrmacht were de
prived of all property and posses
sions, according to the exiles, and
were gathered into huge camps,
where the men were separated from
the women and children.
At first they expected to he forci
bly Sovietized as individuals, for
those who stayed were mostly
humble folk and peasants, but after
months of fear and uncertainty,
along with compulsory labor, they
learned that the whole remaining
population would be sent westward
because they “were not considered!
poltically reliable.”
My informants among the exiles!
are men who fled from East Prus
sia when the Red Army came in
but went back voluntarily to rejoin
their families, following Reports
that the Russians were not treating
the little man badly so long as he
co-operated. They agree their ex
periences did not justify their confi
dence. Said one: “Most of us are
happy that we have to leave this
new Soviet territory.”
Repairing Koenigsberg.
They say the great Baltic port
of Koenigsberg, badly damaged by
Russian gunfire when the Wehr
macht made a desperate stand along
its waterfront, is being repaired and
that the shipbuilding plants are
operating again. The navy base of
Pillau is also functioning again, its
fortress become a Russian head
quarters. The 12 forts that girdle
Koenigsberg are similarly occupied
i_r~>_: a__j_
K/J 4U1UJ U4 WpU,
Maj. Rudnik, spokesman for the
political department of the Soviet
military administration for Ger
many, is quoted as having informed
the German authorities in Branden
berg that “all Germans from the
Soviet territory of East Prussia” will
be repartriated by the end of the
year. There are no official figures
available of the number of Germans
there who have survived the war
but, according to reliable estimates,
more than 100,000 of them will be
exiled from their homeland. They
are mostly rural laborers, peasants,
innkeepers and Artisans and their
families. Only a few of them, gen
erally secret Communists, have been
taken into the Soviet economy for
local development reasons.

Red Is Found Wrong Color
For Air Travelers'Nerves
By the Associated Press
LONDON.—What's in a color? “A
lot,” says Air Vice-Marshall D. C. T.
Bennett, a wartime commander of
the R. A. F.s famous Pathfinder
force, now executive vice president'
of British South American Airways.'
Maroon seat covers in BSAA's new
32-passenger Tudor transports, go-1
ing into service in September, will
remain only tihtil the company can
replace them with something more
to its liking.
“A heavy red is not a good color,
psychologically, for passengers sit
ting many hours in a plane and
landing finally in a hot country,”
Mr. Bennett told a news conference.
“Silly as it may sound, the color
tends to heighten nervous tension,
thereby making the passengers un
comfortable, and that's the last
thing any airline wants,” he added.
‘We had to take the maroon tempo
rarily, because it was all we could
get in a suitable fabric but we’ll
change it as soon as possiable.
He said blue, a “good rich blue,”
would be the most likely choice.
