Rome, Dec. 13.
Italy's well-known film director, Vittorio de Sica, who made the film "Bicycle Thieves," is being violently criticised by professional actors for his choice of а Roman waiter's daughter and an unemployed Trieste mechanic to star in his next film, "Il Tetto" (The Roof).
"I have hunted through the streets, factories and fields of Italy to find the right people," declares de Sica. "I am deeply convinced that this type of film, known as neo-realistic, needs non-professional actors. Thirty years of experience in the cinema have taught me that they give me my best results."

In Russia
By JOHN RETTIE
Moscow, Dec. 19, Young girls in Soviet Central Asia can still be abducted by fast-riding horsemen and forced into marriage, sometimes with the connivance of local officials of the Communist party or Young Communist League (Komsomol).
In one small settlement in Kirghizia, one of the 16 Soviet Republics, near the Chinese- Turkestan border, 20 school-girls have been abducted this year, according to reports in the Moscow newspaper Komsomol Pravda.
