Council First Big Test Entire Question May Hinge Upon Big Five Veto Now York, Auk. 22.?(/Pt ? The United States ultimatum to Yugo slavia threatens to confront the United Nations Security Council with a problem which could bring the whole peace organization to a hitter showdown which may hinge upon the big five veto power. ( omiciI delegations were caution ed today in speculating on what might h; ppen if the Yugoslav gov^ eminent ignored the American de mand for release of airmen held prisoner by the Tito government pillowing tnc shooting down of un armed transport planes. Hnwcfer, it was conceded that I the American threat to appeal to ! the Security Council should Yugo- j slavia fail to comply would give the I council its supreme test of authority to settle disputes peacefully. First Big emergency. Up to now the council never has been faced with such an emergency I as might be brought before it were j the Yugoslavs, stiffened by Russian | backing, to ignore or reject tire American ultimatum. J The Yugoslav ease, if it reaches | the council, is confidently cJcpoctcd in informed United Nations quar- | tors to fit the pattern of conflict be- i tween Russia and the western pow- | ers over the Iranian and Spanish j cases still languishing en the coun- ] cil's agenda. The veto power vested in the big i five, which Russia thrice invoked in j the Spanish ease, may well prove I the deciding factor should the Yugo- i slav case come before the council, j Special Session May Result. Should the United States receive | a satisfactory reply from Belgrade j within IK hours after the ultimatum ! is delivered in the Yugoslav capi- 1 tal. Ihe American government is ex- | pceted to ask the president of the : Security Council. L)r. Oscar Lnnge of i Poland, to call a special session of { the* council. The American delegation could | ask for a hearing after Ihe custom ary three-day interval or could , plead urgency and demand a ses- i sion at once. I.angc could disagree j with the idea of emergency or with presentation on the subject itself. | which, according to one source. Balkans Threaten Peace Of World , Conference Told Paris.

Byrnes, Advisors Confer In Paris Secretary Leaves Conference Session To Discuss Tense Yugoslav Situation Paris. Aug. 22.?l/I'i?United States Secretary of Stale James Byrnes left the peace conlerence session almost as soon as it had convened this morning to coder with his advisors on the Yugoslav situation. His action emphasized how the United Slates' blunt 48-hour ulti matum to Yugoslavia overshadowed all else among the diplomats assem bled in Paris to write Europe's peace treaties. Byrttcs closeted liimsell at his headquarters with Charles E. Bohlem, State Department advisor <.:i eastern European affairs and Samuel Iteber, advisor on European affairs. There appeared little immediate prospect that there would be anv nincial comment from the Yugoslav 4 peace conference delegation on the ultimatum, which demanded that Yugoslavia release American air men for.cd down in Yugoslavia with in 48 houi*s or face action by the United Natio's Security Council. An unofficial Yugoslav source said he did not believe the Ameri can press reaction tor the shooting down of the two IT. S. transport planes would have been so strong AIRMEN RELEASED. Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, Aug. 22.? (AP) ?Yugoslav authori ties today released Americans who had been taken in custouy after their C-47 army trans port plane was forced down here Aug. t>.

Allied diplomats, j however, were concerned mainly | with the efforts of what some ob servers considered the sharpest blow yet to hope for early and amicable | set Menu ? ts on treaties, corning, as it jrtid, on the heels of stubborn wran gling between the western powers and Soviet Hussia and her eastern European adherents.

Some Allied Miltt'ry and politi cal figures, who may not be tamed, ! expressed the opinion that Washing ton might go ro far a? to break eff | diplomatic relations with Yugoslavia over the downing of two American C-47 transport planes by that coun try.

Remains Silent On Location Where Planes Shot Down Washington, Aug. 22.?<;P)? Thvj United States is considering fighter plane protection for American trans port planes which may have to pass near the Yugoslav border while fly ing the Austria-Italian route, top diplomatic authorities reported to day. The plan under consideration would retain the present absolute ban against any American fighters over Yugoslav territory and would he designed to protect U. S. aircraft from attack by Yugoslav fighter planes which might venture over Austria. The whole consideration is based on a point made in the ultimatum sent In the Yugoslav government in which the United States said that the two airplanes already attacked by Yngosla\ fighters may not have been over Yugoslavia at alt. The American note, demanding release of any of the 15 persons in the two planes who are "still alive" declared that for the time being the United States makes "no statement as to the exact location of the two planes when they were attacked.*' Undersecretary of State D can Acheson today called in Ambassador Herschel V. Johnson for a confer ence. presumably to discuss the pos sibilities of filing an American com plaint against Yugoslavia in the United Nations Security Council if the Yugoslavs do noi comply with the 48-hour ultimatum. The exact time the ultimatum pe riod ends has rot been officially an nounced. The finest ion is whether the time begins to run from the hour at which the Yugoslav foreign office here received the text of the note or when the American embassy in Belgrade received it. State Department officials told reporters there probably would be some-determination of the time ele ment later in the day. Considerable interest was mani fest by officials here in reports that American - made fighter planes 1 reaching Yugoslavia through lend lease channels may have been in , volved in the shooting down of Am i rieati transport planes on August . !> and August III. However, a State Department informant said the only | planes lend-leased to Yugoslavia r were three* trainer and one small , cargo craft. If any American-made planes arc now in Yugoslav posses sion. some diplomats suggested, tliey may have got there by way of Bus sis. The Soviet Union received thou sands of United Slates combat craft i during the war. MARSHAL TITO On the Spot Weather FOR NORT1I CAROLINA. Tartly cloudy with ahowcro 1 tonight and Friday.
