London, April 11--(AP) -- Russia charged today that a United States military plane opened {ire three days ago on a flight of Soviet fighters over Latvia, and said one of the Soviet planes fired back. A Soviet protest, lodged with the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, identified the plane as a B-29 bomber, but U.S. Air Force Headquarters at Wiesbaden, Germany, said the plane in question may have been a missing Navy aircraft sought since Saturday in the North- ern Baltic. Air Force officials said this plane, a Navy version of the B-24 bomber, was not armed. This plane had 10 men aboard when it disappeared on a round- trip flight from Copenhagen, Den- mark, to Wiesbaden, Germany. Called the Privateer, it had four engines like the B-29, U.S. planes have been searching for it since Saturday. y The Russians reported the shoot- ing took place roughly 350 miles east of Copenhagen. They gave the site as Lepaya (Libau) on the Bal- N Russian Fighters Engage U.S. Bomber Over Baltic; American Plane Missing .which is regarded by Moscow Wi DEF L AN tic Sea, and said the plane penetra- ted about 13 miles into Latvia, as Soviet territory. Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky, in his protest to U. 8S. Ambassador Alan Kirk, said the plane "bearing American identification marks" was sighted south of Lepaya last Saturday. "Owing to the fact that the Am- erican plane continued to pene- trate into Soviet. territory, a flight of Soviet planes took off from a nearby aerodrome and demanded that the American plane follow it and land at the aerodrome," the protest added. "The American plane not only failed to comply with this demand but opened fire on the Soviet planes. Owing to this, an advanced Soviet fighter was forced to open fire in reply, after which the Am- erican plane turned toward the sea and disappeared." Vishinsky denounced the inci- RUSSIAN FIGHTERS Communism, Premier Pibul gram disclosed today. This was the first concrete mani- festation of decisions reached at the | Bangkok conference in February.
