The stock market wiped out
the losses Of opening 1868 trad

larity. Railroads we're also

Siberian Refugees Seek
American Aid in Moscow
81 Force
Way Into
Embassy

MOSCOW, Jan. 3 (AP).-A
determined little band of ST.
berian peasants, describing
themselves as prosecuted Chris
tians, forced their way into
the United States Embassy to-
day and appealed for refuge.
Protesting loudly, the 80 men,
women and children were taken
away in a Russian bus nearly
four hours later after Soviet
officials promised the embassy
they would be put up in a hotel
and would not be harmed.
The demonstration - almost
unheard Of in the Soviet Union
brought to light an unpub-
licized protest by a group of
Russian Baptists six months
ago at the British Embassy.
A British Embassy spokes-
man said the Baptists had ap-
pealed for help in getting in
touch with the United Nations"
but did not seek asylum. They
tried to hand over a letter,
which was not accepted, and
then went away.
Fleeing Persecution
The shabbily dressed peasants
who appeared today at the
United States Embassy said
they had come by train from
Chernogorsk, a Siberian town
about 2,l00 miles east of
Moscow.
They said they were fleeing
from persecution by local Of
ficials who threatened to Jail
them and take their children
away from them.
A United States Embassy Of
ficial told newsmen the group
wanted help to get out of the
Soviet Union rather than to
seek asylum. They made no
Specific request to 60 to the
United States. The pesants said
they had heard they could 20
to an embassy and get refuge
while the embassy arranged for
them to be sent out of the
country.
During an argument before
the proteSters were packed
aboard the bus, one man COM
planned: Let us be sent to any
country. 1t doesn't matter,
There's no place for us here
no place to CO."
No Way to Help

way we could help them leave

went Cnrougn Soviet auth0ri-
ties" an American official said.

the man who seemed the leader
of the Siberian group said in a
loud voice:

and sisters who believe in Jesus
Christ"

policemen manhandled several
American newsmen after they
took photographs but they did
not confiscate the cameras or
