The Russian-language editor of Radio Liberty, a U.S.-financed radio station that broadcasts to the Soviet Union, disappeared a week ago with his valuable stamp collection but no money, police said. Bill Mahoney, spokesman for the Munich-based station, said that Oleg Tumanov, 41, a Soviet defector who worked there for 20 years, called in sick Feb. 25 and has not been seen since. A police spokesman said that a woman who lived with Tumanov reported his disappearance two days after he dropped from sight. He quoted her as saying that Tumanov may have gone to Stockholm or Vienna to sell his stamp collection.
