FILA Builders Got S65 Million Profits. Hearing Reveals

WASHINGTON, RAThe gov- ernment's revenue chief testified Tuesday that builders of 1,149 FHA-insured apartment projects reaped 65 million dollars in prof. it's almost entirely from borrow ing more than they spent.
 T. Coleman Andrews presented statistical summary to Senate hearing conducted by Sen. Byrd D-Va).
 Byrd said housing officials guaranteed 25 million dollars in loans on Glen Oaks Village, in Queens County, New York, al- though the project cost only 20 million.
 And Byrd declared he under stood rents in the Glen Oaks pro- ject were "15, or 20 to 25 percent higher" due to the fact that loans to the project were in excess of construction costs.
 Andrews also said the Revenue Service thought there was no fraud, either civil or criminal, in volved because the builders of the Glen Oaks project had fully dis closed their income in tax returns.
 Byrd said he had been unable to get an explanation of why this was done, and called it a clear evasion of a law that limited such loans to a maximum of five mil lion dollars.
 Furthermore, tax officials have hundreds of similar examples of 'unconscionable distribution of profits" and ''Windfalls" under federal housing programs, Byrd declared.

SOviets Accuse
 PetrOv of Theft. Demand Return

CANBERRA, Australia, R - The Soviet embassy accused it's fugitive third secretary, Vladimir Petrov, of stealing Large sums" of embassy funds by forgery to- day and demanded that Australia hand him over as a criminal.
 In note to the Australian gov ernment, the embassy said Pet rov's story of a widespread So- viet spy plot in this country was without foundation and the mass of espionage" documents he had given Australian authorities might be forgeries.
 Petrov turned himself over to the Australian government early in April and was granted politi- cal asylum. Parliament authorized a royal commission to investigate his story of large-scale Soviet spy ing and the large mass of data he brought with him from the en- bassy, but Prime Minister Robert c Menzies said top security of ficials were convinced his ac- count was authentic.
 Two commonwealth security of ficers also were questioning Pet roV's wife today in Darwin, where she left a Europe bound plane yesterday morning to join her husband in exile. Australian po- lice had to Qisarm two Soviet dip lomatic couriers who, with an em- bassy secretary, were taking her back to Russia.
 Mrs. Petrov, reportedly cipher clerk in the embassy was being held under tight security guard at the Darwin government house. Reporters standing outside the garden said she spent long hours on the veranda with two security officials and a Russian interpreter smoking, talking, laughing and enjoying cool drinks.

Vladimir Petrov Joins Husband as Refugee from Reds

DARWIN, Australia. R-Blonde Mrs. Vladimir Petrov joined her ex-diplomat husband as a refugee from Soviet Communism Tuesday after Australian police jerked loaded pistols away from two Russian escorts ushering her in tears back to Moscow.
 The 35-year-old woman's last minute switch to the free world followed 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 it's flight from Sydney. The gun-toting Russians he'd tried to muscle local officials out of talk ing to Mrs. Petrov.
 Eight hours earlier some 1900 anti-Communists at Sydney had fought with police in a vain ef- fort to prevent her from being dragged aboard the B-O-A-C Con- stellation by the Soviet Embassy second secretary and the two armed Russian diplomatic cour- iers conveying her home.
 White Russians in the crowd said they heard her screaming q do not want to go. Save mel"
 Mrs. Petrov was said by Aus traian authorities to have been heading back to Russia in the belief her husband had been kid naped and killed. She had told reporters at an embassy news conference last week she thought he had been kidnapped.
 She made her final decision to say after a pre-arranged tele- phone call from Darwin for her first talk with her 45-year-old husband since he fled early this month with stacks of Red espio- mage data from his post as third secretary and MVD secret police) chief at the Soviet Embassy in Cangerra.
 The Russians at Darwin claimed the action against the couriers violated their diplomatic immuni- ty. But legal experts pointed out Australian air travel laws forbid passengers to carry firearms aboard a plane. They said al though a country cannot take punitive action against diplomats of another country, it can take measures to prevent law viola tions.
 It was revealed at Canberra that Mrs. Petrov was a cipher clerk in the Soviet Embassy, and handled the secret coded mes Sages to and from the Kremlin.
 If she decides to follow her hus- band in revealing what she knows about the inner workings of that embassy, she may be as important as he in helping to track down
