A message from Bratislava, on the Austra-Hungarian border, says that according to Unrra officials, Hungarian brigands are attacking and pillaging food trains, and threaten a stoppage or delay in supplies for Central Europe.

Unrra trains may be discontinued pending a resumption of shipping on the Danube, which, according to the Russian authorities, is now free of mines.
