Hundreds of refugees deported
from Hungary streamed across the
•Jugoslavian border yesterday while
tyands of Serbians added to the in-
tensity of the situation by making
’quick advances across the HunRUr-
ian line a few yards. Hungarian*
hold the fear that the irregulars
will cross the border in the Right
and plunder and rob their villages.
’Hungarian students gathering be.
fUre a Serbian church cried and
shouted “Down with Serbia" until
police asked them to disperse. In
the meantime the deported Slavs
E were given quarters and fed at
| schools and other relief centers.
| Peasant farmers complained they
had no time to dispose of their pro-
f|V pMty, were taken from th* field
some herded to depots without

personal SeUMg*gt Families were
separated and even as the deporta-
tion trains were started Jugoslavian
families saw their property and
homes plundered by Hungarians.
From Budapest comes the rumor
that several Hungarians have been
deported in retaliation for the whole-
sale expuls on of their own people.
Following a careful study of the
ptopott onate charges made by the
City «f Graham to domestic, eoin-
mSrcial, and induatrlal ' users of
wkter, the City Counril reduced the
industrial rate to a minimum of 816
fdT the first 100,000 gallons, aver-
aging 16 tenth a thousand. ' A
charge of $14 will be made on the
next 100,000 gallons, $1* on the third
100,000, and $12 on all subsequent
100.000 gallons.
Mgyor Gallaher in his announce-
itMnt’ of the change Which becomes
effective on this month's billings
warns - industrial uae»s to observe
the change jh the Ullnumum number

imum wwl get at 80,000 gallons with
a tweAy-eent charge, the recent
actionfhas doubled the minimum to
10and set the minimum charge
at #15. As the mayor explained,
Vs on the old industrial rate are
lately to use between 60,000 and
100.000 gallons and believe that they
are in the industrial class, when in
reality they will be charged the
commerc al rate between 50 and 100
