PREACHER JAILED, “ AMERICAN WEDDING BALKED BY SOVIET Lutheran Church Minister Said Held for Alleged Plot Against Government Moscow, Nov. 12.—(4)—Elaborate plans for the first big American church wedding here since the United States recognized Soviet Russia three years ago were balked Thursday be- cause the only available Protestant minister became suddenly. “unavail- able.” Responsible sources said the preach- er, the Rev. Mr. Streck, of the Ger- man Lutheran church, had been placed in jail, presumably in connec- tion with an alleged plot against the government, (The German embassy Wednesday asked the Soviet foreign office for de- tails of the arrest of about six Ger- Mans, reported involved with three Austrians, one Swede and other per- sons in an alleged Fascist conspir- acy). Mr, Steck is known as the “diplo- matic pastor,” because most Protest- ant diplomats in Moscow have at- tended his church. Vice Consul Sought The American embassy was trying to communicate with Vice Consul George Minor, who went to Helsing- fors, Finland, to meet his flancee, Mil- dred Wright. Miss Wright was to ar- tive in Helsingfors Thursday from the United States. Minor and Miss Wright, both from Charleston, W. Va., had planned to be married at the Lutheran church Sat- ay. The couple cannot be married at Helsingfors because the law there re- quires two weeks residence. It was understood they were at- tempting to arrange for a service in Leningrad, where, reports said. a Lat- vian Lutheran minister still lives. The German embassy said Mr. Streck, the last Protestant minister to remain in Moscow, had been picked up a few nights ago and had not been heard from since. Citizen of Soviet Mr. Streck is of German parentage, but was born in Russia and, therefore. is a Soviet citizen and the German e embassy is unable to aid him. However, German diplomats were pressing their representations for in- formation as to five German Nation- als reported held incommunicado since Nov. 5. The Austrian embassy, meanwhile, was in a quandry as to how to aid three Austrians reported held in the alleged Fascist plot. The embassy was unable to get either the names of those reported arrested or the charges against them. ‘Thoee arrested were said to be mem- bers of the “Schutzbunders,” between 600 and 1,000 of whom: fled the au- thoriterian-regime in Vienna two years: ago. They have no passports, but were permitted to enter the Soviet Union freely at the time. 15 Narrowly Escape Death on Sewer Job 8t. Paul, Nov. 12,—(%)—Fifteen sewer tunnel workers, working 150 feet underground, narrowly escaped death Thursday when tons of quick- sand and rocks broke into their tunnel, Warned by the roar of the slipping earth and rock, the workers fled back- ward toward the shaft 320 feet away which leads to ground level. A few minutes before the muck reached the shaft the men were hauled to safety. The slide left a hole 50 feet wide | and 60 feet deep over the spot, with one houses almost toppling into the pit.
