Next Chapter In The Petrov Affair Awaited

From H. KING WOOD

Sydney, Apr. 30.

We now await the next major chapter in the Petrov Affair — the Royal Commission.

The Petrovs, now reunited, and living, so it is said, very close to Canberra, do not rate much in the way of local news value now. Curiously enough, we are getting the backwash from London where a leak seems to have occurred in the Petrov story. How right or wrong all this is may or may not - be revealed at the Royal Commission hearing.

As far as can be ascertained, the Reds do not intend to sell their choice Canberra property and the rather beautiful Embassy building which they could only too easily find cager buyers. It seems, instead, that the place will be locked up and left for another day when diplomatic relation- ships are once more resumed.

Statement

Washington, May 5. Diplomatic officials interpreted President Eisenhower's press conference remarks on Indo- China and Geneva as an effort to put the picture back in proper focus and reassure the free world that collective action could still block further Communist aggression in Southeast Asia.

FOUR APPEALS DISMISSED

Four appeals against convictions by Magis- trates were heard before Mr Justice J. R. Gregg, Pulsne Judge, in the Appeal Court this morning. His Lordship dismissed them all, saying the appel- lants had not put forward any grounds for him to interfere with the Magistrates' findings.

Mr Hobley said that appellant. together with three others, had briginally been charged with smoking herola. Evidence wha heard

On that charge. The Magistrate found them all guilty but deferred sentence to the following day. When the men appeared before the Magis- trate again, he preferred an ad- ditional count of possession of dangerous drugs against the op- pellant, who pleaded not guilty. and the case was further ad- journed for the Analyst's certi- ilcate to be produced.

Mr Hobley said that apart from the Analyst's certißeste, there was no evidence called at all to support the additional charge.
