Red Guards Kill Fleeing Refugees. POLISH BORDER MURDERS. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received August 17, 8.50 a.m.) BERLIN, August 16. Thirty-seven of the remaining inhabitants of Moschanowka, a village near the Polish border, having been reduced from prosperity to poverty under the Soviet, decided to flee to Poland with their possessions, which they loaded on handcarts. Red Guards discovered them crossing the frontier. The runaways refused to return and several were shot dead. Twenty-one reached Poland.
NO MORE RATIONING.
Will Withdraw Bread Cards, Stalin Announces. (Received August 17. 11.30 a.m.) BERLIN, August 16. M. Stalin, in a speech, which has not been published and the purport of which is known only in the inner circles, announced that the entire rationing system was to be abolished early in 1932, when bread cards would be withdrawn. This probably will mean immediate restrictions on wheat exports. The harvest is much diminished compared with the estimates, owing to bad weather.
