Soviet Woman Taken
from Train, Arrested
by Latvian Fascist

MOSCOW, U.S.SR. by MaiD.-
A citizen of the Soviet Union, the
working woman Anna Kaprova, has
arrived in Moscow and informed the
Central Committee of the Interna-
tional Red Aid that on her way
from Germany to the Soviet Union
she was arrested in the train by
agents of the Latvian police shortly
before Riga, and that with her the
we'll known Polish Communist Jan
Paschin was arrested, the latter
having been on his way. to the So
Wet Union to seek refuge there
from the prosecutions of the Polish
police. Both of the arrested were
then taken to the Riga prison. Anna
KaproYa was detained for five days
and then taken to the Soviet from
tier under escort. After repeated
examinations Jan Paschin was de-
tanned in prison. Anna Kaprova de-
clares that Paschin was threatened
with eXtradition to Poland, and that
the arrests had been carried out at
the request of the Polish authorities.
The persons who conducted the ex-
aminations in Riga conversed to-
gether in Polish and declared that
Paschin would be taken to Warsaw.
According to the latest information
of the Ira, the Latvian authori-
ties have taken Paschin to Duena-
burg in order to meet representa-
tives of the Polish secret police. All
further trace of Paschin has been
lost. Fears are expressed that Pas
chin may have been murdered.
