Plane Was Shot Down
28 Miles ()utsideLi Limit,
Swedish Expert Says
BY the Assesiatsd Prsss

" tH@ N13&&&tS@ SaS1S
STOCKHOLM. April 2e.--A
Swedish naval stan expert ex-
ppessed the opinion today that the
Russians shot down the missing
United States Privateer plane %
miles outside the 12-mile limit
claimed by the Soviets In the
Baltic.
The officer. Comdr. Stellan Her
melin. head of the shipping sec
ton Of the Swedish naval stad.
said in an interview he believed
the wrecked undercarriage of q
plane found in the Baltic yester-
day was from the missing Navy
patrol plane.
The officer emphasized that his
statement was based on an ''as-
sumption that this landing wheel
can be proved to have belonged
to the missing plane" He ac-
knowledged a possibility that the
plane might have been shot at
in another place" and crashed
where the undercarriage was
found.
He said he based his estimate
of the crash spot on prevailing
water currents and winds in the
Baltic ut this time Of year.. He
estimated that the plane was shot
down almost 40 miles straight
west Of Polangen. on the coast Of
Soviet-occupied Lthuania.
u. s. Accused Russia.
The United States has charged
that the unarmed patrol plane,
with 10 men aboard, was shot
down on April 8 over the Baltic.
Russia contended a B-29 trying
to photograph Soviet military in
stallations exchanged fire with
Soviet fighters which chased 1t
away from Latvian territory near
Libau.
A yellow rubber suit, possibly
from the missing plane. was found
today on the beach of the Danish
island of Langeland. The suit,
wrapped in q rubber bag; that
could be used as hood, had not
been in the water very long. police
said.
The suit was to be shipped to
| the American EmbaSSv in Conen.
hagen.
The aircraft undercarriage,
picked up by a Swedish fisherman
south Of Gotland Island, was due
in Stockholm tonight for forward
ing to American authorities at
Port Lyautey, Morocco. the home
base of the missing Navy plane.
Bullet Holes Reported.
An Associated Press reporter
who few to Visby to view the
undercarriage gave this account:
The recovered landing gear is
identical to the gear of a United
States Privateer plane as shown
in drawing and pictures.
There are two holes In the
wheel which appear likely to have
been caused by bullets.
The undercarriage was wrecked
badly and several Of the levers Of
the retraction mechanism were
broken.
A container bore q red plate
marked "Houde Engineering Di-
vision. Houdaille Hershey Corp,
Buffalo, New York" In the lower
part Of the plate was o white
trimmed marking: "Houdairle
Shimmy Damper." It bore the
number: Houde No. A-1O635. Be-
low this was a space for a serial
number which was not filled in.
The missing plane is the only
one reported lost or crashed in
recent years in or near the area
where the wreckage was found.
