TAKOS, Hungary, March 7 — About 25,000 people
               were being evacuated on Wednesday from
               villages swamped by the flooding Tisza River in
               northeastern Hungary but others tearfully
               refused to abandon their homesteads. “There are
               elderly people who would rather die than leave
               their homes,” said Norbert Balogh, 25, who
               came from nearby Szolnok to assist the Red
               Cross as a volunteer rescue worker.
