Soviet Russia Asks Aussies Return Petrov Australia Brands Russian Criminal Charges As False SYDNEY, Australia, UP — The Soviet embassy asked the Austra* lian government today to return Vladimir Petrov, an embassy staff member who deserted the Russians and asked Australia for asylum last week/ The embassy asked the Australian external affairs department to detain Petrov aa a criminal and hand him back to the Russians. Earlier today, the embassy issued a statement saying Petrov “misappropriated by forgery” a large sum of money while a member of its staff. On Tuesday. Australian authorities disarmed two Russian guards and gave political asylum to Petrov’s wife, Evoklya. She had been dragged aboard a Russian-bound plane screaming. “Save me!” Mrs. Petrov was removed from the plane at Dorwin. 1 The Soviet ambassador to Australia, N. Generalov, demanded the return of Mrs. Petrov and apologies for the way her guards were treated. The statement today said Petrov asked Australian authorities to grant him asylum as a political refugee to escape the penalty for his “crime.” Prime Minister R. G. Mensfes immediately branded the Russians’ "criminal” charge as "completely contradictory” to their initial statement Petrov had been kidnaped. Mendes said such charges-had been expected and noted they followed the pattern in the case of Russian code clerk Igor Gousenko in a similar spy newtork case in Canada. - Menzies rejected Soviet charges that the two couriers “escorting” Mrs. Petrov back to Russia were manhandled at Darwin. Menzies said “the whole incident was handled with restraint and meticulous regard to the rules of international conduct.” In its note to the eternal affairs department, the Soviet em.bassy said that “prqvocative” statements made by Petrov or attributed to him had no foundation in fact. Furthermore, the note said, doctuuents which Petrov gave Australian authorities might be forgeries or fabrications drawn up by persons interested in causing relations between Russia and Australia to deteriorate. Petrov deserted the Russians last week and gave the Australian government “hundreds of documents” that were reported to reveal a widespread spy network in Australia. Meanwhile, Generalov collapsed from strain while Australian security officers at Darwin questioned Mrs. Petrov about the espionage activities of her husband. Anti-Soviet Yeelings, heightened by the espionage revelations of Petrov, head of the Russian secret police (MVD) in Australia, broke out in open demonstrations in Sydney and Melbourne with the showing of dramatic newsreel accounts of the treatment of Mrs. Petrov by the two couriers. 4|Josrital Admitted Carolyn Harmon, city.

Backs Fair Board In Wirtz Dispute Attorney General Backs Fair Board INDIANAPOLIS UP — Indiana attorney general Edwin K. Steers today backed the state fair board in Sts dispute with president Arthur Wirtz of the Indianapolis Coliseum Corp, over equipment ownership. The battle flared Tuesday when Wirtz threatened to sue the board for refusal to let him transfer the equipment. He said he would withdraw his local franchise when the lease expires. Wirtz, who brought professional hockey, ice shows, boxing and other attractions to the Coliseum, said he would sue for >IOO,OOO to recover losses at a Fort Wayne Ice show recently. Two truckloads of equipment were taken from the Coliseum by Wirtz April 15, but the fair board promptly had state police assigned to guard the Coliseum and prevent more equipment from being moved, Wirtz eaid the Fort Wayne show was a “flop" because he couldn't remove lighting equipment. “We'll sue them for every cent we lost,” Wirtz said. * Steers said he would try to arrange a meeting with Wirtz to discuss the contract. He said it was signed in 1939 for 10 years, providing for a 5-year renewal. If it was not renewed, the state was to pay Wirtz >50,000 for the equipment, Steers said. However, it was renewed, and Steers said according to the contract now all equipment except hockey players and franchises belong to the state. But Wirtz disagreed, arguing the fair board had no right to prevent his company from moving equipment from one place to another. ' “Our lease is in effect until April 30,” he said. “Our rent is all paid up. In fact, we paid them more than >750,000 in rent since we (have been there." Wirtz said he would pull out of Indianapolis because the board delayed action on renewing his lease. Kenneth Blackwell, secretary-man-ager of the board, said four other firms also seek the lease. T Lt. Gov. Harold Handley, an exofficio member of the board, said he would investigate the situation. “So far as I’m concerned, our •dealings with Wirtz have been highly satisfactory,” Handley said. Grover Cottrell Retires As City Merchant Police After almost nine and one half years service as Decatur's merchant policeman, Grover Cottrell, known as ‘Pop,’ has turned in his keys to retire. No one knows just how many merchants Pop Cottrell served because that is one of Pop's guarded secrets. In those years he never missed a night as watchman for the stores of the business district. For 10 to 12 hours each night he would walk up and down checking doors and lights and kepeing bis eyes open tor possible l break-ins. Cottrell was not employed by city officials but worked on his dwTi. He was the only merchant policeman ever to be employed in the city. Before taking over these duties he was a member of the city police force. Monday night was Pop's last tour of duty! He is retiring to go on social security and intends to spend his time relaxing. C.

Cites Future Need Os Mental Hospitals Need New Hospitals Within Ten Years INDIANAPOLIS UP — Indiana will need new mental hoepitale within the next 10 years, Governor Craig said late Tuesday. He said most of the state's present facilities are “old and antiquated” and the number of patients needing such care is mounting. Craig told a meeting of county service officers the best way to help veterans would be to build new hospitals and schools — and not give them a bonus. "The people of Indiana should think twice before they spend more money on a cash bonus for anybody,” Craig said. “If you put it on a cash basis, you can't pay enough money to servicemen for

service rendered.” More mental patient* are cropping up, he said, because there is a "high incidence” among veterans and because many illnesses once treated otherwise now are regarded as nervous disorders. He said persons with military service are “more prone" to such disorders. Veterans hospitals are overflowing, Craig said, and Indiana is attempting to absorb some of the overflow by increasing the efficiency of its mental hospital facilities. A survey by the American physiatric association on Indiana's mental health needs will be available about Sept. 1, Craig said. Demoorat Want Ada Bring Results
