Crisis Crisis Continued From Page 1 out in the detail sought by Washington what policies they hold on matters that could arise in EastWest negotiations, United States diplomats said. A DETAILED statement may not be forthcoming from Bonn until after Oct. 17 when the new West German government is formed.

MEEHAN BERLIN, Oct.

-Twenty-eight divisions of the Warsaw Pact nations, including Soviet troops reported equipped with atomic rockets, today carried out war maneuvers in East Germany in a move that put more pressure on the West. In Berlin itself, Lord Mayor Willy Brandt angrily threatened to take action to stop Communist police guarding the Communist wall dividing the city from shootipe West Berliners, He hinted the Western police might be given bigger weapons. IN THE LATEST incident, a Red Vopo (civilian police) at Brandenburg Gate fired a warning shot from a machine pistol at a West Berlin photogranher who sneaked through the barrier to take nictures. The photnerapher ran hack to West unharmed, police reported. At least two West Berliners were believed wounded in shootings on the border of the American sector Sunday night.

Four West Berlin youths were arrested with their four East Berlin girl friends while frying to escape from East Berlin. "THE. WEST BERLIN police." Brandt told a news conference, "are not here to watch West Berlin citizens being shot. We are not going to be intimidated by Communist threats along the border." Brandt did not disclose what action he planned. Asked if he would equip the West Berlin police with heavier weapons, he said: "We do not intend to do anything spectacular.

But we will discuss the matter with the Allies." The Communist war games were denounced by a Western spokesman as "veiled mobilization" in an effort to exert pressure on the West. The 28 Communist divisions are three more than the entire strength of the NATO forces. The British Army of the Rhine also began one of its biggest postwar maneuvers today. A spokesman said the, maneuvers, which will involve 33,000 troops. were designed to give commanders and staffs practice in handling formations, including the use of smaller, nuclear-armed units.

BUNTIN CONLEY AGENCY 29 50.7. ST. Realtors. Insurance Call C-4388 500,000 Feathered Friends Make Bird Haters of Couple WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 4P Birds are strictly for the birds, says ex bird lover John Skillman.

Skillman, a Commerce Department employ who owns a 250- acre farm near Potomac, is up to his craw in them. Half a million by estimate of the Inter. ior Department's fish and wildlife, experts. HE AND HIS wife moved to the farm 10 years ago to escape the hurly-burly of city living. Life was indeed peaceful then in the countryside.

five years ago, Mrs. Skillman recalls, she first noticed a flock of starlings moving into a 22-acre thicket the entrance to their retreat. A bird lover herself, she thought they were "cute." In the years that followed the starlings were joined by birds, grackles. cowbirds and species. Soon the Skillmans were host to 500,000 feathered friends.

including most "of the sterling population with a 40-mile radius of Washington. THESE STATISTICS were communicated to them by agents of the Fish and Wildlife Service who up to deter. mine were, checkinn, of birds might interfere with jet planes at the new Dulles International Airport across the Potomac River in Virginia. The federal agents cheerily reported that as long as the starlines roosted at Skillman's farm i there was no danger to the air: port. He was assured he could keep his birds.

Skillman on the other hand fold the agents he would be glad to deprive himself of the birds if they would only tell him how. experts had no answer. Nothing bothers starlings, they said. So, with philosophical resigna-; tion, the Skillmans set up chairs on their patio and used the birds as a conversation piece. SKILLMAN says his conversation has become strongly antibird.

Mrs. Skillman, however, likes to compare the birds to government employs, struggling out to work each dawn and back at dusk. As she sees it the birds are conscientiously devoted to making a living. They use the farm only for sleeping purposes. The rush hour is 6:30 P.

M. when they descend by the thousands, gossiping constantly about the day's happenings. The groups that are late in arriving Mrs. Skillman calls embassy crowd." And friends who drop over 1o watch are gravely informed the last few stragglers "stayed downtown for cocktails." Skillman has thought of bulldozing down the thicket and turning it into a pasture. He says he may do it yet this Winter.
