However, the unmistakable im- pression of the observer at Paris is that though the Russian people don’t want war and though the last thing the American people want is war, both are slowly edging in, that direction—despite them- selves. So perhaps it is better to fage these facts now than regret them later. :One of the few men bold enough ta. face the facts is Dr. Harold Urey, famed atom scientist, who recently pointed out that the al- ternative to international control of the atomic bomb is an early war by which the United States would secure control of the world; or a later war which would end civilization. This column has suggested a less drastic program for heading off war which can be summarized as follows: PROGRAM FOR PEACE 1—The USA to avoid being the tail on the British Foreign Office kite, cooperating 100 percent with the United Nations instead, and building it up to a position of gen- uine world strength.

The 48 hours of the ultimatum ticked away sometime between 5:30 am. and 8:30 am, Pacific Time. Indications that all five American i fliers died in the flaming crash jof a second transport, shot down iAug, 19 by Yugoslav fighters, and the possibility the tenth passenger on the first transport, a Turkish captain, might' be regarded as a Ipnsuner by the Yugoslavs, raised the possibility, however, that the United States still might bring ac- tion against Tito before the United i Nations Security Council 1 To Open Mass Grave The Yugoslav Marshal handec U. S. Ambassador Richard C. Pat- terson a note last night saying there apparently were no survivors from the second crash. The mass grave, with U. 8. officials in at- lv.endance, was to be opened at Kop- rovinik today. The statement of a Yugoslav | spokesman in Paris yesterday that the Turk's presence on the shot- {down plane “was not accidental” jraised the possibility that Yugo- |slavia intended to hold him. United States officials said this country would object to Yugo- !slavia’s holding him, and pointed {out that the United States ultima- tum demanded release of all living occupants of the two planes, re- gardless of nationality. Reports yesterday by the official | Yugoslav news agency Tanjug that Tito had decided to “reject” the ultimatum were not borne out by later Belgrade dispatches. The later | dispatches said a Yugoslav com- munique stated the ultimatum had been “set aside” because in ‘wl Yugoslav view its der was issued. had | been fulfilled before the ultimatum
