LONDON, Aug. 27 (Reuter).-German ponsibility for dropping bomb in Eire was dis- apowed by the official Ger- man news agency.

The agency states that it is learned in authorita. tive military circles that the "route over Irish terri- fory is not used by German planes flying to England." . Furthermore the squad- rons concerned have been questioned and not the slightest ground was dis covered for the report that German aircraft had chosen the route over Ire land.

A Rumanian fighter plane has attacked and destroyed a Hungarian bomber, saya la "United Press" message. The incident occurred over, Hungarian territory near Debrecen, directly east of Budapest.

The bomber made an emer- gency landing. One member of Its crew was injured.
