Washington Mexico, Mo. Mystery In Norway Fjord OSLO, Norway (AP) Spurred by a naval report of mysterious lights on a hillside along a Norwegian Fjord, navy search craft renewed the hunt today for what some believe may be a foreign submarine trapped in the depths of the inlet. Naval headquarters reported that a navy vessel sighted green and yellow lights along the southern arm of Sognef jord, scene of a 12-day-old search. Police were dispatched to investigate. The hunt was shrouded in official secrecy and Defense Minister Joh'an Klepper has reiterated that there is "no positive proof" of a foreign sub in the Fjord which has a maximum depth of 3,900 feet.

The defense command in Oslo announced Thursday that the frigate Trondheim, which fired an antisubmarine missile Wednesday at a "moving, submerged object," had ascertained that the object definitely was not a submarine. They declined to say what it was. Missouri Senators Are In Yugoslavia BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) Missouri Sens.
