Yugoslavs Arrest U. S. Army Patrol

TRIISIE. Nov. 25—(’1‘ueadly)— rAP)- A six-man United states Army border patrol was taken iri- ‘.o Yugoslav cusiody Monday morning between two outposts about 15 miles from Trieste U. S. Army headquarters said early to- clay.

The Yugoslav: have ecknowledg- ed that they are holding the six American soldiers. an Anny pub- lic relations officer said.

The U. S. Army public relations office in Trieste said that in ac- vurdance with a new policy. the names of the men will not be re- viuilcd until 48 hours after their capture, but that as far us is known the soldiers ere in good condition.

The patrol. which ‘consisted of a non-commissioned officer and five privates. was afoot and "evi-

dently got out of bounds." the public relations office said. When the Yugoslavs admitted

having the six in custody, the of- fice said. the U.S. Army immed- iately requested their return and was infortned that the Yugoslav: would "have to put it through higher headquarters.”

An investigation of the men‘s whereabouts began when they foiled to return from patrol as scheduled.

The capture of the entire bor- der patrol increased to l8 the number of U. S. soldiers taken in- to custody by the Yugoslevs in thc area since August. The other l2 have been released. During the same period. five British soi- dlers and sailors also were taken prisoner.

Since the 'I‘rieste free territory was created by the ratification of the Italian peace treaty on Sept. 15. troops have patrolled the borders of the American-British and the Yugoslav zones and the border of Yugoslavia proper.

Thus fer. Americans who re- turned from Yugoslav captivity reported they were closely con- fined. fed as well as Yugoslav troops and questioned but not molested.

Asks Stalin For Frank Statement 0f His Aims

(ly Robert Goidenetcin)

CHICAGO, Nov. 24—(AP)--An appeal to Premier Stalin to "speak directly and personally to the American people" on Russia's proposals for a general post-war settlement was made today by Dr. Leo Qzilard, University of Chicago scientist who played l. leading role in development of the etomie bomb. \

In an open "letter to Stalin". Dr. Bollard. sometimes celled "the father of, the ltomic bomb," told Stalin it is "clearly ‘within your‘ power to give the American peo- pe a. choice between two alter- native courses of foreign policy."

If deterioration of - American- Scviet relations continues for an- oi-iier six months. he added. l "fateful change" might tske root in the minds of the American people ‘and "more likely ihfli not thefurther course of events will be out of the control of the two governments involved. . .

“tilt should be lenorsily bo-

iievsd that time is indeed some

inexorable law which. in the long rum, makes wsr between your country and ours inevitable then those in the United States who now are working for the preser- vation of peace would begin to fee} they are merely delaying the war which will be l-il the more tm-ibie the lster it comes."

The Hungorisn-boln professor. who outlined technical potential- ities of sh atomic bomb for Pre- sident Roosevelt after discovering ilint a split unniurn atom omits the neutron bullets necessary for a chain reset-ion. printed the let- ter in the Bulletin of the atomic scientists. He rclooud the letter for publication, he said, after fnii- ing to get permission from At- tomey-Oenersi ‘Dom Clark to transmit it directly to Stella.

He said Stalin could resolve the dndiock between the United Slltel and Russia by throwing of! "the self-imposed shackles" of dip- lomacy and speaking to the Am- erican people. possibly once a month. He did not ‘suggest exactly iiow this could be accomplished.
