HUNGARY ASKS AID
|NBORDER DISPUTE
Requests League to Probe
"Tense Situation" With
YugosIavia.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, May IA tense situa-
ton along the Yugoslavian- Hungarian
border, which in three years has al
legedly resulted in the deaths of 81
Hungarians. led Hungary today to
appeal to the League of Nations for
help.
In her unusual and unexpected
memorandum, which declared the
friction might become menace to
the two countries" in view Of the
present tense atmosphere Of Europe"
Hungary asked the League Council to
send an international commission to
the district to investigate conditions.
This body would be enjoined to
consolidate peaceful relations between
the two countries, but, the note said,
Hungary would accept some other
pacific proposal if the Council pre-
fers not to send such committee.
The memorandum consists of Is pages
Of complaints.
Situation Seen Menace.
It emphasized that Hungary does
not wish to make big political
affair" of her differences with her
neighbor, and insisted that the Hun
garian aim is merely to direct the
attention of the Council to the mat
ter because in the present tense
atmosphere of Europe the situation
might become a menace to the two
countries"
Hungary asserted that 81 Hun
garians have been killed at the from
tier either by Yugoslavian authorities
or through the illicit use OF arms
by frontier guards.
A parallel was drawn in the COM
munication between relations on the
Yugoslav-Hungarian frontier and the
Hungarian -Rumanian border. 1t was
pointed out that on the latter no
murders" occurred.
Protest Police Measures.
In addition, Hungary complained
against police measures taken by
Yugoslavians against inhabitants OF
the border zone.
Every time Hungary sent Yugo-
slavia a complaint, the note went on,
a satisfying solution" was never Of
fered.
League of Nations officials explained
that while Hungary did not appeal
under a specific article of the League
covenant, the memorandum made
references to the second paragraph OF
article eleven.
This section declares that it is the
friendly right of each member OF the
League to bring to the Leagues atten-
tion any circumstances affecting in
ternational relations.
League officers assumed, therefore,
that Hungary seeks action under this
article.
To Be Considered Soon.
An official League communique said
Hungary has sent a request to the
Council to examine the circumstances
"of a nature seriously to affect rela-
tions between Hungary and Yugo-
slavia with a view to binding a solu-
ton for dispute"
The appeal was put on the agenda
Of problems to be considered at a
Council meeting beginning Monday.
The situation, Hungary said, is not
serious enough to provoke war, but
"it is sufficiently grave to justify an
immediate examination by the League
Council"
