NOUMEA, April 1.
MME Rose Marie Ollier, formerly a secretary in the French Embassy at Canberra, who was arrested on charges of alleged espionage and was taken to Pans last year, has been released.
A commission was sent to Aus tralia by the military juge d instruc tion. The finding was that the charges preferred against Mme.

Pty. Ltd. By measuring slight gravitational differences and the directions in which their varicpus intensities are exerted, the torsion balance detects the presence of structures not discernible by surface or subsurface geology.
