In the comedy's road tour. J.
It does not work out this way,
leaving one to suspect that
someone somewhere theorized
that a vim rouge version would
go better than the champagne
one in the hinterlands. The
likeliest suspect should be
Harold Clurman. At least, he
is listed as director of both
productions, but some owners
of accusing fingers have
learned that directors are
neither always nor exclusively
responsible for what happens
when plays travel. e.
Wherever the guilt lies, "A
Shot in the Dark" is a soggier,
more tedious exhibit than 1t
was in its infancy last season.
1t retains its moments Of
mirth, thanks to the fact that
the French know more than
any other people how funny sex
can be. Nevertheless, these mo-
ments are fewer now and
spaced less winningly over that
broader surface.
The truth about this Marcel
Achard comedy, naturalized by
Harry Kurnitz, is that 1t has
always been extravagantly YER
bose. 1t jabbers endlessly al
though sometimes wittily about
an aristocratic Paris household
which. after centuries, erred in
selecting a too lively parlor
maid.

face to face with an examining

weapon.

stantial evidence. She grew UP

As for the others, one can
conjecture that they are be-

of too much of its comedy.

Of Charge
In SpotsyIvoniu

SPOTSYLvANIA, Va, Nov
10 tAP). - Criminal charges
against former State Trooper
D. w. (Pete) Bishop, a forme,
Spotsylvania County civil de-
tense official, were dropped ir
Circuit Court yesterday.
Special Prosecutor j. Peytor
Farmer of Bowling Green told
the court he had been unable
to establish the necessary Grim
lnal intent to obtain a conyic-
ton on the embezzlement and
grand larceny indictments re-
turned by a special grand jury
August Is.
In his statement to the court,
Mr.. Farmer said the facts and
the evidence showed that a
pickup truck was obtained by
Spotsylvania County and that
Mr.. Bishop, as chief of indus
try and installation of the civil
defense organization, came into
possession of the vehicle.
Mr.. Farmer said the truck
had been used for civil defense
purposes, including the haul
ing OF other surplus property
into the county from a Rich
mond warehouse. The evidence
showed, he added, that Mr.
Bishop had at times used the
truck for personal purposes but
that he had bought gas and
made certain repairs.

This election is local but the
national parties have made it
clear they consider it an indi-
Gator of what may lie ahead.
National and international
issues have been injected in
the campaigns.
Premier Amintore Fanfani
said in his closing campaign
speech that he will regard votes
for local members of his Chris
tan Democrats as support for
the party at the national level.
The big question looming in
the background is the future
of the opening to the left"
experiment. Mr.. Fanfani last
February entered a working
agreement with the Socialists,
who once were close allies OF
the Italian Communist Party.
Now the Socialists have pro-
posed a new five-year pact,
clearly to open to way for their
direct participation in a future
cabinet.

Special to The Star

TOKYO, Nov. 10. - A search
is under way by japanese =
and presumably United States
= naval and air units to locate
five Soviet submarines which
entered Pacific waters in Sep
TENDER. The Red subs are re-
portedly equipped with new
type nuclear missile, possibly
akin to Americas 1.500-mile-
range Polaris.
Since the Cuban crisis there
has been speculation here that
Soviet missile subma-
rines may have steamed to
strategic positions in the north
ern and central Pacific Ocean.
The September entry of Rus
sian subs into the Pacific ap-
peared to coincide with a
United States Navy announce
ment September 10 that the
American administered island
of Guam soon would become a
Polaris submarine base. The
precise date when Polaris subs
would arrive was not stated.
Headquarters for the United
States forces in Japan and
Spokesman for the United
States 7th Fleet have been
keeping an official silence on
the matter of the Soviet subs

submarines, sailed from Arctic
waters through the Boring
Strait and into the Pacific
some time in September. OF
this number, six definitely"
passed through Soya Strait off
Japan's northernmost tip on
October 26. Thence the subma-
rines proceeded to VladivoStok,
Russia's secrecy-shrouded giant
Far Eastern naval base.
The sources reported that the
subs which passed from the
Soya Strait into the Japan Sea
last month appeared to be in
the 2,000-ton class of missile
subs "of an old type" But the
five so far untraceable subs
were reliably reported as hav-
ing advanced long-range mis-
siles.
American military leaders
have in the past commented
on the Communist submarine
threat to the United States and
its allies in the Far East. Rus
