Two transports of refugees arrived here today after having been shuttled for months between Yugoslavia and Slovakia.
A third refugee transport, it was learned, has been stuck in Bratislava, Slovakian capital, for six months without a chance of leaving. The refugees were said to be in a pitiable condition since the Jewish community there was unable to render sufficient aid.
Another 1,000 refugees were reported stranded in Kladova for the past five months.
