Article: Wife Reports Rudolf Bing Missing

The wife of Sir Rudolf Bing reported to police today that the 85-year-old former New York opera impresario has disappeared in London, Scotland Yard said.

Bing's mental abilities have been impaired by the brain degeneration of Alzheimer's disease, according to a New York judge.

A spokesman at Scotland Yard, the London police headquarters, said: "Lady Bing reported that after they breakfasted together, her husband left their hotel at 10:30 this morning to buy cigarettes and did not return.

"After several hours we are still unable to say what happened to him. There has been no trace of him as yet and we have circulated his description. Police are looking out for him," the spokesman said.
