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

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.

Multiple Amputee
Takes Beautiful ,
Model as Bride
Jacksonville. 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.
