I Report Chicago Nun ' ! Missing In Europe Believed Missing In Czechoslovakia ; CHICAGO <UPI) — American embassies in • several i capitals today investigated the disappearance of a Chicago nun 10 days ago while t r a veli ng ' through Communist Czechosloi vakia. The Chicago Sun-Times said it ' learned Sunday the missing nun. Sister Cajetan, was en route by train through Czechoslovakia to Czestochowa , Poland, when she vanished. The nun planned to build an orphanage for retarded children at Czestochowa. United States embassies in Prague, Warsaw, Vienna and Rome are seeking her whereabouts, the Sun-Times said, but apparently have been stymied by the refusal of the Czechoslovak government to divulge anzy information in the case. The 72-year-old Roman Catholic nun, spiritual head of the Celine League, an organiation of Chicago women which raises money for Polish war orphans, arrived in Rome May 14 with a pilgrim-! age of 20 Chicago women. All had visas for Poland except Sister, Caetan, the newspaper said. Sister Cajetan’s suerior. Mother General Theresa, now traveling ! in the United States, told toe SunTimes she feared the nun either: was being held by the Czech Reds or was robbed and thrown from i the train by bandits. • j "We are convinced Sister Caje-, tan did not vanish in Poland," I Sister Theresa said. "We are cer- j tain she disappeared somewhere; inside Cechoslovakia through which the train had to pass.” Meet Thursday Night On Ditch Watershed Thursday at the Geneva high' school, all landowners within the Long-Amstutz ditch watershed will; meet, beginning at 8 p.m. The group will discuss the possibility | of improving the entire watershed • under the small watershed improvement and control act.
