London OTA)—Naval experts here held out little hope for the Israeli submarine Dakar and her crew of 69 officers and men, posted missing in the Eastern Mediterranean since last Thursday. Newspapers speculated meanwhile on the coincidental loss of tho French submarine Minerva which went missing off Toulon in the Western Mediterranean. The Times saw nothing beyond a "cruel coincidence" in the loss of the two underseas craft. The Daily Mail noted that NATO naval chiefs were "puzzled" by the disappearanca of two submarines in the Mediterranean within three days of each other. But naval officials emphasized that they had "no solid evidence" to link the disappearance with the Soviet fleet that has been operating in the Mediterranean in increasing strength sinca last June. . A massive international sea-air search continued to comb the area between Israel and Cyprus for traces of the submarine. Two British Argosy planes and a photo reconnaisance Canberra-typa plane are participating in the search from the RAF base on Cyprus. They v/ere joined by two Coastal Command Shackleton planes from, Malta. Four vessels of the U.S. Sixth fleet along with British, Turkish and Greek warships and 11 Israeli vessels criss-crossed tha seas in the area but so fas bavo turned up no sign of the missing submarine.
