"This serious political mistake was not accidental,' said the mon- thly magazine Soviet Press in re- porting the incident. 'The editorial 'tboard of the newspaper has not displayed the necessary operative- mess and sharpness in reflecting events of domestic and internation- al life." The dismissed editor is A. A. Fomichev. The complaint about not carrying the launching news was Made at a meeting of the city committee of the Communist Party. A study of the files shows the newspaper has been listing K. A. Tolstoy as editor since October 29, He formerly was a deputy editor. Evening Moscow is a paper ev- eryone in town reads for divorce news, television and theatre pro- grams and for comparatively live- ly coverage of events not covered by the serious-minded government and Communist - Party papers, Izvestia and Pravda.

OTTAWA -- The'government has| |the vicinity to escape. a. war surplus rifle which police consider a menace to society. The weapon -- a .22-calibre gun specially designed for use by air- men forced down in wild country -- had been declared surplus by War Assets Disposal Corporation. Justice Minister Fulton said that in instructions from the govern- ment the corporation stopped sell- ing the gun to merchants. The order came too late, how- ever, to prevent about 3,500 of the compact, 14-inch-barrel guns frora reaching salesmen, mainly in On- tario. Of these some 700 had been recovered and the government was attempting to recover as Many as possible of the remainder. Police say the gun would be dangerous in the hands of a crim- inal. About 20,000 had been de- clared surplus. Reg. Axcell, Ottawa city police chief, said last week the gun could easily be concealed and "is too well suited as a holdup weapon to be sold generally." Toronto, Mont- real and Quebec provincial police have expressed similar fears. Chief Axcell said it could be fit- ted with a telescope sight and si- lencer for use as an assassination weapon. Such a weapon as this, in the hands of persons with criminal in- tent, would make them extremely dangerous,"' he added. Mr. Fulton said that after he heard of the planned release of 20,000 of the weapons, he conferred with police officers. Then he ask- ed Defense Production Minister O'Hurley to stop the movement of the guns to market.

Play continued for several se- conds before a linesman spotted the creatures cowering along the boards down the ice from the scene of action. The officials made the removal, but mistakenly hand- ed the rabbits back to their own- ers. Moments later the rabbits ap- peared again down the ice from the scene of their earlier entrance.
