Call from "Soviet Authorities" Precedes Disappearance Moscow, Oct. 1.
The mysterious disappearance of M. Matuszinski, Polish Consul at Kiev, and lack of word from him since 2 o'clock this morning lead the Polish Embassy here to express fears tonight for his safety. He was believed to have been kidnapped.
The Vice-Consul at Kiev telephoned the Embassy here today and reported that at 2. a.m. today M. Matuszinsk: received a telephone call from a man who stated he represented the Foreign Commissariat at Kiev. He asked the Polish Consul to come to the Commissariat immediately. M. Matuszinski apparently feared all was-not well and took with him two strong Polish chauttours. Since his departure, the Embassy was informed, the Kiev Consulate neither saw nor heard of M.
Matuszinski and his two companions. The Commissariat in Kiev informed the Vice-Consul that it had not telephoned early this morning.
The Kiev consular staff was to leave Soviet Russia on Tuesday with the personnel of the Embassy. Now, however, the Embassy has announced that none of its personnel will leave until the three men appear again—
Havas.
