Navy Plane Missing In Baltic Believed To Know Too Much By Robert Muni United Press Correspondent London, June iu.hi 1 ne experts believed today that the navy Privateer which disap peared in the Baltic two months a bo had picked up a Russian secret or was suspected by the Soviets of carrying vital secret equipment. Those two theories dominated the year's biggest and most mo inous mystery, one which sent the temperature of the cold war. rocketing for a few tense days. The angry exchange of notes between the United States and Russia shed little light on the incident. Knew Too Much One verdict of intelligence of ficers was that the Privateer knew too much. But what secret could it learn that would cause Russia to risk possible war by shooting it down? Probably the secret of Llep aja and the waters surrounding this Latvian base, so closely guarded that only yesterday Russia informed Sweden it re garded its Baltic territorial lim its as 12 miles at sea instead of the normal three. Russia's abnormal sensitivity about the Liepaia area has been attributed to affairs having to do with high speed submarines and perhaps guided missiles. Did Russia fear that the Priva- by instrument some vital infor- teer had been seen or picked up council' Dec. 6, 1949, to replace nation? Some intelligence Harold Merrill, who had resign officers think so. especially ed. His letter of resignation was because the Russian fleet was dated May 22. 1950. Rumors that maneuvering in and under the he might resign have been cur Baltic at the time. rent for some time. r W J Ml ( I V , '..j: ilJ The real power Is not in ffte engine alone. The reol power Is built into the car itself. Does this sound strange? Well, look at it this way. Mercury is designed as a unit. The engine Is one part of that unit. The springs and frame and body and Interior appointments are all parts of that unit. Each part is carefully engineered to function smoothly with every other part. The dis tribution of weight is scientifically controlled for eager pick- R I Salvage Thought Bought I Another opinion held in other equally responsible quarters was that Russia knew the plane was in the Baltic. It could have been spotted on soviet radar screens. And Russian fighter, according to that theory, were sent out to shoot it down in hope of salvag ing some of the secret equipment it was believed to carry. Russia Is known to bank heavily on high speed submar ines in event of war. The Privateers are one of America's answer to the undersea menace which in both World Wars al most isolated Europe. It would have to be the first burst to bring down the Priva teer. The plane had orders to announce any attack immedi ately on the open radio. So far as is known It never uttered a sound. This one fact alone has made all American experts reject the soviet story that the plane flew inland over L I e p a J a and ex changed gunfire with Russian fighters before turning back to sea.

Fla., June 9 U.R Smiling Jimmy Wilson said "this is it" just like he used to do before an air force mission, and then was off on the greatest adventure of his life marriage. The handsome young law stu dent, resplendent in a summer tuxedo, strode confidently down the aisle last night on artificial legs, his mechanical arms swing ing In perfect time with the measured beat of the wedding march. Encourages Struggle At the altar the 25-year-old "basket case." one of the two World War II heroes who lost all four limbs and lived, married Dorothy Mortenson, 23, a beau tiful television model who en couraged his long struggle hack trom war s living graveyard. Four hundred guests witnessed the brief Protestant service, wished the couple well at the re ception later and saw them off on a two-week motor trip, dur ing which Jimmy will do most of the driving. Met at University Wilson met his bride while he was studying for a pre-lmv de gree at the University of Florida. He was then going through the painful readjustment period that followed the 1944 training flight crash of an air force bomber. Wilson, the only survivor of the nine-man crew, was ma rooned for three days in the snow-laden Vermont mountains. Before help arrived his arms and legs froze and had to be ampu tated. Miss Mortenson helped him learn to dance, operate a type writer, comb his hair with arti ficial limbs. up, for stability on curves, and for safety In sudden stops. The gear ratios are precisely calculated to prevent strain and wear. The inner workings of the engine are painstakingly calibrated for flashing performance and lasting economy. The result is a beautifully integrated motor car. A car that is winning "stock speed trials In Florida one minute, and winning the Economy Sweepstakes in the Grand Canyon Run the next.
