DARWIN. Australia (AP)—Aua- tralian security police kept a close guard Tuesday .over Mrs. Evokiyn Petrov. who decided to seek pol- itical asylum here with her hus- band rather than return to the Soviet Union.

Smiling and apparently happy at her choice. Mrs. Petrov waited for \vord that a plane would take her to Canberra and a reunion with her husband, Vladimir. former. third secretary in the Soviet embassy. He fled the Soviet embassy in

His wife. meanwhile, was dis- closed in Canberra to have been employed in the Soviet embassy as s cipher clerk. the same posi- tion held in Ottawa by Igor Gauz- enko before he broke the Canadian spy case to the RCMP in Septem- ber. 1945.

If Mrs. Petrov decides to follow her husband in revealing what she knows about the inner workings of the Canberra embassy. she may prove to be as important as he in exposing Soviet espionage in Australia.

HALDFAX. (OP)-A senior navy spokesman said Tufiay that two Russian trawiers sighted off New- foundland are. to all appearances, peacefully fishing.

First sighted about 12 days ago. the trawlers were found on the Grand Banks by RCA!’ planes sent out to investigate radio messages in Russian.‘

The trawisrs, identified as the modern, sister-ebb Odessa and aevaatopol. have not entered port and apparently carry their own provisions.

Epidemic of Pools-marked Windshields Hits Halifax

SEVERAL MOTORISTS REPORT GLASS IN CARS DAMAGED; MANY THEORIES

HALIFAX (CP)—Nnrth Ameri- ca's galloping epidemic of pock- marked windshieldli reached the Atlantic coast Tuesday and a half- dozen Halifax motorists reported their automobile windows were peppered with tiny indentations.

The first report came from a man who said he found the wind- shield of his parked car covered with more than 100 pock marks. The other accounts followed ra~‘ pidly and only glass surfaces were reported affected.

Geophysicist Dr. Jonathan E. Blanchard and physicist Dr. Em- est W. Gupiill of Dalhnusie Uni- versity found pockmarks on all windows of one of the cars which they subjected to minute examina- tion.

They declined in hazard is spoi explanation but agreed that the markings were "definitely not the result of chemical reaction." SUGGESTS TEST TWO CARS

“Before making any definite commitment on the subject. we would have to carry out tests to see what can be causing thl. trouble," Dr. Guptill said.

He said one method of solving the mystery might be to examine periodically the windshield: of two test cars left in the open.

R. A. Hornstein. the Dominion publieweather office's chief mete oroiogist here. was asked whether some substance from the U. S. nu clear tests in the mid-Pacific could reach this far.

“if anything is put in the air in the ‘Pacific. such as from an ex- lllosion, there‘ is no reason why i'. should not reach here." Mr. Hor- stein said. “We're right in the Path of the prevailing Westerlies."

One scientist who asked that his name be withheld said it was ‘quite possible" tthene-is something in the atmo ere ,thaii wasn't there before. He didn't amplify his remarks. ~

VANCOUVER. fCP)——The mys. tery of the windshield blemighgs still awaited solution today and no

scientific answer had come to solve it. First reported in the United

States Pacific northwest. wind- shield spotting now has been re- ported ascrosa western Canada and as far east as Toronto.

some believe the pitting is caused by a sort of glass-eating gray ash. possibly an aftermath of Pacific H-bomb tests. But scl- entists don't agree.

A Victoria man who didn't want his name disclosed came up with a new theory-dlnky little celestial cruisers known as micro-meteor ites. They are called space mice by writers of scientific fiction.

He said the space m.ica are pic- tured as capable of pitting highly- poiished glass as if it had been sandblasted.

There are many other theories. one that minute marine life.blown by the prevailing winds from the H-bomb blast caused the marks

Police Collect Evidence In

Sydney Murder

synnnv fCPl~Police trying to fill a five-months gap in the life of strangling victim Florence Tav- em. 27. reported Tuesday they had collected evidence indicating she was seen in the Sydney district shortly before she was slain near a suburban lovers‘ lane.

The RCMP refused. however. to disclose the origin of the first break in a sweeping investigation which began last Friday when Mrs. Tavern‘s fully-rlnihed body was found by an eight-year-old boy in Grant's brook. five miles {mm Sydney.

A second autopsy Tuesday on the hadiy decomposed body can- firmcd earlier findings that she had been strangled by someone with powerful hands. Police be- lieved the estranged wife of a French Canadian soldier was killed elsewhere and her body later thrown into the brook which bord- ers a much-frequented lovers’ lane near a cluster of overnight cabins. IDENTIFIED BY BROTHER

The dead woman was identified by a brother. Ronald Rogers. 19. He told police the family had not seen Mrs. Tavern since last No- vrmbcr.

Mrs. Tavern married the French Canadian during a visit in Mont. real but they were reported to hgvg separated shortly after. ‘
