Soviets Are Shifting
Missile Installations
WASHINGTON, Cm — Con
gressional officials have received
what they accept as reliable re
ports of Soviet shifts in missile
base construction, in the aftermath
of the U-2 plane downing.
There have been several spec
ulative reports that such action
would be taken.
Influential members who de
clined to be quoted by name said
they had been informed the So
viets had retrieved and developed
photographs made by the spy
plane piloted by Francis Powers.
The Soviets were represented as
being amazed at the detail with
which military installations were
depicted in these pictures. The
photos apparently were far su
perior to any the Soviets be
lieved it was possible to make
from the great heights at which
U-2 planes have flown over their
rountry for more than four years.
These pictures were said to have
revealed not only completed
bases for the launching of inter
continental missiles but the be
ginning of constrhction work on
other sites.

Lost American Glider
Pilot Gets Quick Release
From East Germany
LUBEGK, Germany, UPi —
American glider pilot Richard E.
Schreder, who got lost on a cham
pionship flight Wednesday and
landed in East Germany, was al
lowed to leave Communist ter
ritory with his glider yesterday.
The 44-year-old flier, from To
ledo, OhioT was met here at the
border crossing into West Ger
many by his wife, Angie.
She had not been allowed by
Communist authorities to accom
pany his trailer crew which had
driven across the Iron Curtain
border a few hours before to re
trieve the sailplane and its pilot.
Schreder’s return to West Ger
many took less than 24 hours.
Usually it takes several days for
sport and glider pilots to arrange
their exit when they accidentally
cross into East Germany.
The all-metal glider landed
Schreder 30 miles inside the East
German border near Kluetz, not
far from where an Air Force
plane carrying nine persons was
forced down by Soviet fighters
just two weeks ago.
Schreder took off from Col
ogne Wednesday morning with 54
other pilots bound for the West
German island of Fehmarn, 30
miles north of the East German
Baltic coast.

F.A.A. Fineg Pilot
For Calling
False Emergency
WASHINGTON, (41 — The Fed
eral Aviation Agency has col
lected $100 from an airline pilot
charged with needlessly declar
ing a flight emergency in order to
land in below-minimum weather
at King Salmon.
The agency accepted the pay
ment after notifying Capt. Ray
mond Anderson of Spenard, that
the violation could have resulted
in a penalty of up to $1,000’.
Anderson was pilot in com
mand of Northern/ Consolidated
Airlines’ F27-B flight No. 5 from
Anchorage to King Salmon last
August 3.
Unable to land at King Salmon
because of weather below the
specified landing minimums, An
derson circled on top of the over
cast for 45 minutes, then declared
an emergency and was given an
immediate approach clearance.
The FAA said that after the
landing its investigation showed
the plane still had 4,128 pounds
of fuel, enough to go to an alter
nate airport or to return to An
chorage.
In addition, the pilot failed to
make the required report of his
emergency decision within seven
days, the FAA said.
The agency said that emergen
cies needlessly declared often re
sult in unnecessary hazards to
other aircrafts and rescue teams.
