Russians Track Ships Traveling Baltic Sea
HELSINKI, Finland—(UPI)—The Russians have no qualms about keeping close tabs on foreign ships churning over the Baltic Sea which borders on Russia's western shores.
They have protested against U.S. Air Force planes observing and allegedly "buzzing" Soviet ships on the high seas. But they do not hesitate to follow ships in the Baltic or in the Gulf of Finland which are home waters for the Soviet Navy.
When a six-vessel British naval detachment arrived here late this spring, officers reported that their ships had been followed from the Kiel Canal.
"There were always one or two Russian destroyers in sight," said one British officer.
"We had planned to do some exercises on the way, but the presence of the Russians ruled that out."
It generally can be assumed, whenever a naval visit is planned here, that the Soviet vessels will keep close tabs on the journey through the Baltic.
From the top-floor restaurant of
Helsinki's Torni Hotel, one of the city's highest structures and the old headquarters of the Russian control commission, vapor trails often can be seen over the open water of the Gulf of Finland.
These are made by Soviet planes which regularly patrol the open sea

One Helsinki newspaper asserted
recently that an "unknown" plane
hit high-flying Russian aircraft at
Porkkala, the former Soviet
naval base west of Helsinki which
the Finns got back four and a half
years ago.
Except for the alleged coastal buzzing, all these flights and trailing operations take place on or over open sea, and thus violate no law.
With the Soviet Estonian coast only some 75 miles away, the Finns are careful to avoid incidents.
Civilian airplanes, unless they have special permission, are required to stick close to the Finnish coast.
But even such coastal flights will give a view of Soviet naval vessels on the open sea, and the reason for the government order.

SAGINAW, Mich — (UPI) — Percy Thomas, 34, failed to notice the road he was driving came to a dead end. Before he could stop, his car ripped through a steel guard rail, sailed 50 feet through the air over the edge of a 20-foot deep ravine, rolled over several times as it bounced down the ravine and came to rest upside down several feet off the ground wedged in the branches of three trees.
Thomas walked away uninjured.
