Moscow has charged the plane was over Siberia near the big naval base of Vladivostok. The state department in Wash- ington immediately sent off a pro- test to Moscow. It said it had in- formation that some of the 16 others aboard the bomber had been picked up by Russian vessels. Capt. John Ernest Roche, co- pilot who spent 32 perilous hours in the water before rescue. told Far East air force headquarters Friday that the plane was no- where near the mainland. He was backed up by Gen. 0. P. Weyland, air force commander in the Far East, who issued a terse statement saying "no American airplane has violated Soviet terri- tory.” Roche was not. allowed to see correspondents. and the air force issued few details immediately. 'The state department said one or two MiG jets shot into the engines of the B-50 as it flew over the Sea of Japan setting one of the engines efire and forcing it to crash. Search planes had sighted other survivors on a life raft. Fog closed in before they could be rescued. although large numbers of planes and ships searched the area. The state department noted that Soviet vessels were spotted in the area, and its protest said informa- tion had been received that ”sur- vivors had been picked up by Sov- iet vessels". Washington demanded the Russ- ians furnish infoi1nItt0n' on-5 -titer survivor-stand what plans have been made to release them. It was at first thought Roche was the only survivor. Roche was picked up by the U. S. destroyer Picking after he had spent 11 hours in a life belt in the water and 11 more on a life raft dropped by a search plane. In their earlier protest note to Washington. the Russians said the bomber had violated Russian ter- ritory in the vicinity of Vladivos- tok. It said the bomber fired on two Soviet fighter planes that rose to intercept it, and that the Rue- sians returned the fire. The Russians said the bomber then disappeared in the direction of the sea. that famous Crown Jewels Stolen HECHINGEN.

Germans heading home from West Berlin and distributed it to Soviet none welfare institutions as "soviet aid." The seizures Friday, the first mass confiscation of the week, were concentrated in six Soviet zone suburbs around Berlin. East Berlin police sent confis- cated American food packages to a warehouse on Gustav Adolf Stress. in Weiasensee borough.
