Former Soviet Diplomat-Spy Gives Evidence Secret Informaticfn Obtained On Allies' 7 Policy Differences MELBOURNE (INS) — VladimirPetrov, who fled from his Job as a Russian diplomat-spy, revealed today that one of his agents had obtained secret- information from an Australian government department about policy differences among Australia, Britain, and the U.S. Petrov told the royal commission investigating Soviet espionage ’ in the commonwealth that a Russian contact known as "K" got the information from friends in. the external affairs department (the foreign office). Petrov escaped from his job at the Russian embassy in Canberra last AprlT bringing with him extensivr documents on Moscow’s spy operation in Australia. Although listed as third secretary, Petrov actually was chief of the Soviet secret police (MVD) in Australia. In his second day of testimony, the one-time spy admitted that his task of obtaining Australian contacts bad be"“jne more difficult in the past two or three years because the Australian security services had become so efficient. Petrov discussed what he called the “apparatus” which Moscow hgd ordered set up in Australia for use in the event of war. The “apparatus” was arranged by the embassy's second secretary under Petrov's guidance. Hje said his own task was to gain political and economic information and to seek recruits among persons who had access to information, Petrov’s outline of the instructions he received from the superiors in Russia was a familiar one. He said .that a correspondent for Tass, the official Soviet news agency, suggested persons who might be approached for training as agents. Petrov told of trying to find people who had access to government information and then checking to find it they had any weaknesses, such as a need for money. He also sought out persons who became talkative when drunk or appeared to faxor-Russia. - 7__, 7, names of those persons were passed on to Moscow where they were given code names. Real names were never used again. The former espionage chief said that some of the contacts were paid for the informatiou supplied in sums ranging from $660 to sll2O.

' Pointing out that the thrtee and one-hilf billion dollar foreign aid bill will soon be bfefore the senate, Johnson said them will be a “definite insistence” that “some nations will have to get their houses in order” before deceiving any of this assistance. ‘ -Secretary of state. John Foster Dulles meanwhile went into a closed session with the senate foreign relations committee to report on last weekend’s Eisenhower - Churchill talks. Senate GOP policy chairman Homer Ferguson, Mich., said that Britain’s attitude toward a UN seat for Red China likely will come up for discussion, informed sources said the British brought up UN membership for the Peiping regime during the Eisenhower-Chur-chill conference. a* The British were said to believe that the question may come up for a test at the general assembly meeting this fall. Johnson said that Americans have had to swallow mhny “bitter pills” but It is now clear that: ”1. The American public wants no appeasement of the Communists. ”2. Americans will retuse to support the UN if Red China is admitted. ”3. Millions Os Americans have become uneasy about the intentions and objectives of our allies.’'

FHA Moves To Screen Further Building Plans Prevent Figures In Building Scandals From Program Use WASHINGTON (INS) — The federal housing administration moved today to prevent builders figuring in the FHA scandal investigations from further use of the program without specific Washington approval. Acting FHA commissioner Norman p. Mason ordered his 75 field directors to channel all new applications from the builders into his Washington office as a ‘'precautionary measure’’ against additional possible abuses of the government financing programOfficials said the action affects all officers of 219 building corpora tions which allegedly netted nearly 40 million dollars in windfall profits from FHA-insured apartment projects after World War 11. Reports on these projects were sent to the justice department early this month tor possible criminal or civil action by bousing and home finance administrator Albert M. Cole. - ' „ ■ FHA’s latest move applies to “all applications for mortgage insurance” by the builders including new apartment projects and homes built tor sale to the general pub- , lie. Informed of the order, senate banking chairman Homer E. Capehart (Rind.) said he felt that the agency has power to go a step further and ban the builders completely frdm the FHA program. But FHA officials expressed doubts that such a step can be taken under the national housing act. They contended the agency is obliged to approve all applications as long as the housing law is observed unless a builder has beenfound guilty of a criminal violation. “If that is true,” Capehart declared, “they ought to ask the congress to change the law. I think we’ll have to look into that aspect of the problem.” FHA officials termed the action of Mason "a disciplinary measure.” They said both field offices and Washington headquarters will "make a very careful check" on each application. Normally, the agency's 75 field offices approve or disapprove applications for FHA insurance on home loans without referring the
