Stole Large Sums al
Australian Embassy
ey the Assoeiutsd Press

CANBERRA. Australia, April
21.-The Soviet Embassy accused
its fugitive third secretary
Vladimir Petrov. Of stealing
large sums" Of Embassy funds
by forgery today and demanded
that Australia hand him over as
a criminal.
In q note to the Australian
government. the Embassy said
Petrov's story of a widespread
Soviet spy plot in this country
was without foundation and the
mass Of Espionage" documents
he had given Australian authori-
ties might be forgeries.
Petrov turned himself over to
the Australian government early
in April and was granted politi-
cal asylum. Parliament author
lied a royal commission to inves-
tigate his story and Prime Min
lister Robert G. Menzies said top
security officials were convinced
his account was authentic.
The Soviet Embassy made
public an unofficial translation
Of its note to the Australians.
Called Supply Officer.
It said Petrov had charge OF
Embassy supply affairs. This
contrasted with Mr.. Menzies'
previous announcement that he
was the chief in Australia for
the MvD. the Soviet secret
police.
The government has sur
rounded Petrov with secrecy and
security police have been ques-
tioning him constantly. Soviet
Ambassador N. I. Generalov had
charged previously that the
Australians kidnapped him.
In a statement issued after
receipt of the Soviet note, Mr..
Menzies said Australia would
ask for particulars Of the alleged
thefts.
Mr.. Menzies went on, 'I have
been eagerly awaiting charges
Of theft and forgery. :. My own
surprise is that the (Soviet)
embassy should have to wait so
long for its instructions.
1.-THE Australian people won't
be slow to appreciate that this
allegation that Petrov is a GRIM
inal and absconder completely
contradicts the first story that
he was kidnapped by Australian
authorities. It becomes increas-
ingly difficult to answer such
mutually contradictory allega-
tions.
II can assure the public that
Petrov and his wife left of their
own free will.
Invites Testimony Under Oath.
Should the (Soviet) ambas-
Sador or any member of his staff
desire to give evidence before
the Royal Commission on the
authenticity of the documents,
no obstacle will be placed in
their way though naturally such
evidence will be on oath and
subject to exhaustive examina-
ton"
The strain of the situation re-
portedly was affecting Soviet

An Australian government
spokesman said two more
Russians have been recalled to

their return came after Petrov's
decision to seek asylum. The

Two Commonwealth security
officers also were questioning
Petrovs wife today in Darwin,
where she left a Europe-bound

her husband in exile. Australian
police had to disarm two Soviet

Embassy secretary. were taking
her back to Russia.
Mrs. Petrov repeatedly a

Senator Mundt. Republican, of
South Dakota. charged yesterday
congressional hearings "are un-
der the most sustained. the best
organized and the best financial
attack that has ever occurred in
the history of our Republic"
A drive to eliminate the inves-
tigative function Of Congress, he
added. is being carried out by
people who find themselves out
of Office today because of the EVIL
dence uncovered by congress
sional committees.
The acting chairman of the
Senate Investigations Subcom-
mittee. addressing the District
League of Republican Women,
said he would not discuss the
current unpleasantness" involv-
ing the subcommittee chair
man. Senator Mccarthy, and the
Army
Instead, ne predicted that the
program now under way in
America to eliminate congress
sional hearings altogether" will
be zone of the issues in the next
campaign"
In his opinion, the Senator
added. committees are right not
to permit lawyers for witnesses
to crosS-examine other witnesses
because Communist lawyers
would come into the committee
and make a shambles of it."
II think committees have gone
too far in permitting lawyers
to testify as to the opinions Of
the witnesses" he said.
Senator Mundt also said he
thought committees have gone
completely overheard" on per-
hitting witnesses to use the fifth
amendment to the Constitution
to evade testimony. He added
Congress should pass a pending
bill which would grant immunity
from prosecution to witnesses
waving the protection of the
amendment.
He told the G. o. P. women
that under President Eisen-
hover the opportunity for peace
is better than it has been for
years and years and years"

An Easter season without hot
cross buns would be like spring
without green growing things.
No other Easter bread is as uni
versally popular as these spicy,
sweet rolls with their symbolic
cross.
One tradition mas it that the
Greeks offered to their moon god
dess. Astarte, a sacred cake
called a "boun," from which the
word "bun" finally evolved. The
stylized cross was supposed to
refer to the four phases Of the
moon. Or, according to another
version, it might have been a
matter of convenience in break
ing the cakes into four parts
when offered as a sacrifice.
The Egyptians similarity hon.
ored their moon goddess with a
cake offering on special days.
Their cakes were called "bon,"
meaning OK, and were decorated
with a pair of horns, symbolic
of the oxen or horned moon of
Isis.
Medieval churches distributed
buns made of dough to communi-
cants>a after mass on Easter Sun
day. In England, as far back as
1852, bakeries engaged in the for
hidden practice of competing
with the church by selling buns
and cakes stamped with cross.
There were many superstitions
about hot cross buns in times
past. 1t was believed that the
buns would never mold if prop
erly made and the entire process
completed before a certain time
whether before sunrise or
church time is now uncertain.
Undoubtedly the lavish use of
spices helped to preserve the
cakes and enabled families to
keep a bunIfor good luck from
one year to the next. Later the
bun lost its religious significance
and became mere cake, but
through the years it has con-
tinued to be associated with Good
Friday.

MANCHESTER, n. H. -NCl-
The New Hampshire State Ameri-
can Legion convention here went
on record in opposition to publica-
tions which attack various religious
faiths. 1t also advocated a continu-
ance of the States own program to
weed out communism.
The delegates from 112 posts
throughout the State recommended
that the States own investigation
of subversives and their activities
be continued. Another resolution
urged the United States to sever
diplomatic relations with Soviet
Russia and its satellites.
The delegation urged the State
Department of Education to include
in the curriculum of elementary
and secondary public schools a
course which would compare the
benefits of living under a demo
cracy with those of other forms of
government so that "our children
will grow into loyal American
citizens with an understanding of
the meaning of Justice, freedom
and democracy"
The convention voted support of
program of gifts of books and
periodicals to Libraries for the pur-
pose of exposing the evils and
tyranny of communism.
