2 Japanese Fishermen Burned" By H-Bomb Explosion Are No Better

TOKYO, R nm A government spokesman said today the condi- ton of 23 Japanese fishermen burned by radioactive ash from the March l hydrogen bomb test at Bikini "d0es not warrant op- timism."
 That backed up Japanese doc tors who Tuesday challenged a statement by U. $. ambassador John Allison that initial tests of the fishermen gave mo medical basis for concern"
 The 19,0O0-ton whaling mother ship Tonan Maru, which arrived yesterday from the Antarctic was found to be slightly but not dan .gerously radioactive, although it never was closer than 75O miles to Bikini, the government an nounced.

Soviet Diplomat Asks Australia For Political Asylum

CANBERRA, Australia, LR - Translators worked around the clock today on ''spy" documents turned over to the government by fugitive Soviet diplomat Vladimir Petrov. But the Russians attrac- tive, honey-b1onde wife declared she believed he had been kidnap- ped.
 Speaking to newsmen at the Soviet embassy, Mrs. Petrov said:
 q don't believe my husband would go to your country like this I am sure he has been kidnapped and what the papers write is only a lie"
 Her eyes red from crying, Mrs. Petrov added: ''He wouldn't leave me because we are married to each other" The Russian woman who worked as stenographer at the Russian embassy, said she would stay with the embassy.
 Soviet ambassador Nicolas Iv- anovitch Genealov, who also spoke to the neWsmen, described the governments announcement yes terday that Petrov had fled Com munism and asked for political asylum as nonsense from begin ming to end.
 The Russians have similarly charged Kidnapping in the disap- pearance in Japan last January of Soviet diplomat Yuri Tastov- orov Washington has never of ficially acknowledged it, but Am erican sources in Japan have said Tastovorov asked for and was granted political asylum by the United States.
 Australian officials express be- lief that Petrov is one of the most important Russians to switch allegiance to the West. They said the documents he took with him probably would be sent on to other British commonwealth governments as soon as they are translated and investigated. They said the information possibly might go also to Washington.

.Zony lids
New Beach
.leudgeur
BY EIeni

Call it summer madness but
the array Of zany hats and sum-
mer straw bags abloom with all
sorts Of crazy mixed up trims
are proving to be real hits with
beach bound women.
The home Of the crazy hat is
California. The daffy domers
first made their appearance about
two years ago and were an in
slant hit. Straw hats in familiar
and unfamiliar shapes started
being decorated with tiny ping
pong balls for the golf enthusi-
astS (golf balls being too heavy
to attach to the. hats, Easter
basket chicks for the chicken
raiserS, toy cars for the racing
fans, and on down the line with
hobbies and everything else COM
ing in for their share Of the
fashion fun.
The toppings served a dual
purpose in keeping the hair from
getting parched and also provid-
ing a lot of fun talk.
Those mad lids are now in
Washington. There are any
number of styles from which to
choose. We've pictured two peak
domed ideas. One of a stir
straw painted white with tiny
Easter eggs that ties with sail
cloth straps. The other is a
flexible fish-net covered dilly
with tiny corkS trimming it.
They're mad. to be sure. but
absolutely fascinating to look at
and to wear.

It so happens that the follow

There was a revolt Of the
Guatemalan Army regulars
on August 2, as a result of a.
dispute between the Liberia
ton forces Of President Car
los Armas. It came to a quick
end, however, when the Pre-
sident agreed to disband the

his country from Guatemala.
The fighting took place be-
tween 40 Military Cadets &
a band Of irregulars. Reports
say six persons were killed &

The Regular Army called a

signed an agreement present
ed by the Army containing 8
