Mos cow reported today a U.S. bomb er disappeared over the Baltic Sea Saturday the day an Amer ican Navy patrol plane vanished with 10 aboard after entering Russian territory and exchanging fire with a Soviet fighter. High defense officials in Wash ington indicated they believedhe Navy plane, unarmed, is the air craft to which the Russians re ferred. A four-engined Priva teer, it dropped out of sight after leaving Wiesbaden, Germany, on a round trip flight to Denmark. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky protested that a U. S. bomber of the' Super Fortress type flew over Latvia that day and opened fire on a group of Soviet fighters that went up and ordered it to land. Vishinsky said one fighter returned the fire, "after which the American plane turned towards the sea and dis appeared." The Defense Department in Washington issued statements by Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Air Force Chief of Staff, denying any Air Force plane was involved, and by Adm. Forrest P. Sherman, Chief of Naval Operations, stat ing the missing Navy plane car ried no guns and was under standing'orders to stay well clear of Russian territory. Sherman said the patrol plane, therefore, "could not have fired on any other aircraft or returned the fire of any aircraft." U.S. Air Force officials at Wies baden said they knew of no change in the search area as a result of the Russian announce ment, but the searchers will fly in "ever ividening circles" from the Baltic island of Bornholm, which would take them gradulaly near er to Russian territory. v They speculated the Navy plane may have been shot down or disabled so it could not reach a safe landing.
