APRIL 20. 1954 Russian Diplomat's Wife Rescued From Red Agents By ROBERT FuEKDEN DARWIN, Australia OP Blonde Mrs. Vladimir Petrov joined her cx-dlplomai husband as a refugee from Soviet communism today ait cr Australian police jerked load ed pistols away from two Russian escorts ushering bsr in tears bacic to Moscow. The 35-year-old woman's la.it minute switch to the free world followed a fantastic tug of war in which Australian police wrestled wildly to disarm two of her Rus sian guards as her Europe-bound plane stopped here on the first leg of its flight from Sydney. The gun-toting Russians .had tried to muscle local officials out of talk ing to Mrs. Petrov. to track down Soviet espionage in Australia. A royal commission with in creased legal powers already has been authorized to sift the mass of documents Petrov turned over. Menzies said that data . revealed a large Soviet spy network In this country. Other sources said at least 30 Australians were impli cated. Menzies told reporters of the dramatic series of events leading up to Mrs. Petrov's decision to ask asylum in Australia and de clared it could "be seen Australia behaved with scrupulous care and regard for International protocol."

The riotous episodes surrounding Mrs. Petrov's flight promised ser ious diplomatic repercussions be tween Australia and the Kremlin. Soviet Ambassador Klcolai Cencr alov immediately lodged a formal protest at the Australian Foreign Ministry, charging "armed assault against diplomatic couriers and detention of a Soviet official, to wit: Mrs. Petrov." CABINET MEKT8 Australia's Prime Minister Rob ert O. Menzies called an urgent Cabinet meeting to discuss the pos sibility the Russians might retali ate against the small Australian Embassy staff in Moscow. It was revealed at Canberra that Mrs. Petrov was a cipher clerk In the Soviet Embassy, handling the secret coded messages to and from the Kremlin. If she decides to follow her husband In reveal ing what she knows about the inner workings of that embassy, she may be ss Important as he in helping band in Canberra sometime to night. Following suspicions that Mrs. Petrov might not be a willing re turnee to her homeland, Menzies set Into motion the machinery to make sure she would have a chance to say whether she wanted to go on or stay. , .
