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."

call from Darwin for ber first talk
with her 4.5-year-old husband since
he fled early this month with
slacks of Red espionage data from
his poft as third secretary and
MVC (secret police) chief at the
Soviet Embassy In Canberra.
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

Petrov might not be a willing re

set Into motion the machinery to
make sure she would have a
chance to say whether she wanted
to go on or stay. , .
