'Uk s pared US. S.-SIov Controversy
 Diplomats Relax
 As BoIkon Nation
 Finally Gives In

New York, Aug. 23-(UP)-United Nations diplomats relaxed today at signs that the United States and Yugoslavia would settle theif peace threatening flareup without re- course to the LIN Security Council. Evident displays of relief greeted developments which indicated the Council would be spared perhaps the greatest trial that has yet punctuated it's record of duels be- tween the Soviet bloc and the west ern powers.
 Throughout the tense day pre- ceding Yugoslav Marshal Tito's move to give the United States full satisfaction" and avert an Amer ican demand for Security Council action against Yugoslavia, LIN circles buzzed with predictions of a showdown fight between Russia and the West
 Fear East, West Fight
 Many speculated that an Amer ican attempt to inspire Council ac- ton against Russia's Balkan pro- tege would erupt into another clash between the Soviets and the vest ern powers.
 The tension evaporated, however, with the first reports of Titos con- ciliatory conference at Bled with U. S. Ambassador Richard c. Pat terson.
 The threat of an American ap- peal for Council action against the Yugoslavs for the shooting down of two unarmed American transport planes did not disappear entirely, but chances were very slim that the case ever would get that far.
 One American official said, in fact, that the case looked like a closed book" but he emphasized that he has no official information from the State Department. Dur ing the day the U. S. began draft ing its request that the Council meet promptly and take over the dispute. It was to be presented if Yugoslavia had failed to comply with the U. s. ultimatum.
 Determined to Power-Pack LIN
 AS the furor over the shortlived threat of a new LIN tangle died down, it became evident that the United States had launched 2 de- cisve program to make the United Nations the keystone of American foreign policy.
 In addition to the sudden threat to hand it's dispute with YugoslaVia to the Security Council without fur ther pickering, the U. s. State De- partment enunciated it's reliance on the LIN in two other ways
 lon Wednesday it advised
 Russia that it opposed her plan
 for reVamping control of the
 DardanelleS to give the Soviets
 share of Turkeys control over
 the vital straits. The heart of
 the American argument against
 the plan was that Russia pro-
 posed to sidestep the United
 Nations to settle a problem which the U. s. considers a nat
 ural for the world organization
 to decide.
 2-In move pointed at such
 big colony-holders as Britain,
 France and The Netherlands, the U. s. placed the broadest
 possible interpretation on the
 LIN Charters provision for the
 protection of territories lacking
 full self-government.
 Complies With Request
 Becoming the first to comply with a LIN request for reports on all ter ritories whose peoples do not have a full measure of self-govern- ment,' the U s. included in it's re- port every territory it owns in the hope that other nations will apply the Charter provisions to all non- self-governing peoples under their flags.
 Together with the unhesitating move toward the Security Council in tie Yugoslav case, these develop ments represented what one U. S source described as a means of showing we intend to use the United Nations
 Twenty years ago nations sent battleships and other displays ot arme dforce to settle international problems, the American official commented. Now they go to the LIN"
