GASWORKS IN GALICIA PROBLEM OF REFUGEES POLISH OFFICIALS INTERNED (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Sept. 26, 3.15 pjn.) LONDON, Sept. 25 The Budapest correspondent of the Times states that Polish former employees at the natural gasworks in Galicia report that Germans blew up the pipelines, pumping stations and refineries supplying fuel to Lwow industries, in order to prevent them from falling into Russian hands. The Bucharest correspondent of the American Press states that the Rumanian Government has interned uniformed Polish officers, soldiers and officials, including President Mosciciki, Colonel Beck and Marshal Smigly-Rydz. It is estimated that 12,000 officers and soldiers are interned at a military camp, apart from 10,000 civil servants, while uncounted thousands of civilians have crossed the Dneister and Prutu Rivers and are scattered throughout Rumania. Hungary has 100,000 refugees and does not want any more. The Yugoslavian authorities are refusing visas because the country is overcrowded with Albanians, Austrians and Czechoslovakians.
