u. ). 10 Invite Envoy
OF Yugoslavia 10 Rites
Here for Slain Flyers

While families of the five Amer
ican airmen shot down by Yugo-
slav flyers are expected to reach
Washington over the week end te
discuss details of the funeral, plans
went forward today to invite the
Yugoslav Ambassador. Sava N
KoSanovic, to the burial services.
Maj. Gen. Floyd L. Parks, CHIEF
of the Public Relations Division
War Department, said the invitation
to the Ambassador will go from
the War and State Departments
officially.
The date of the funeral depends
on the wishes of the airmens fam
lilies. 1t. Col Granville Sharpe. as
siStant chief of staff Ga (opera- =
tions) of the military district of
Washington, is in charge of ar
rangements, under the direction of
Brig. Gen. Claude B. Ferenbaugh
commanding general of the district
Col. Sharpe and other Army Off
cials will confer with the families
of the airmen about details.
A large display of troops and the
Army Band are tentatively planned
for the funeral, which will meet the
desires of the families concerned. 1t
is the wish of the Federal Govern
ment to have all five airmen buried
at the same time, and the Army is
planning to bury them side by side
and erect shrine to them.
Meanwhile, bodies of the airmen
are reposing in the burial crypt of
Arlington National Cemetery, pend
ing burial there.
Army officials explained today that
up to now the program for the dead
flyers has been entirely unofficial.
They pointed out that thee was no
slight intended in not having the
official representative of the Yugo-
slav government at National Airport
on Thursday when the bodies ar

Peru Leads Movement
To Limit Scope Of U. N.
Refugee Organization
BY the As,ocioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Sept
14.-Peru took the lead today ir
a growing movement to limit the
scope of the proposed interna-
tional refugee organization now
being considered by the United
Nations Economic and Socia
Council.
AS the Council prepared to meet
at 1890 am. to continue discussion
of Secretary General Trygve Lies
proposal for an interim commission
to take over the refugee work i'm
mediately from UNRRA, Peruvian
Delegate Alberto Area Parro urged
that the question be approached with
caution.
He said he not only favored drastic
notifications in Mr.. Lies proposal
but that he believed any action on a
budget for a permanent refugee
organization would be premature on
the basis of information now avail
able.
Peruvian Gets Support.
Mr.. Area Parro, who found con-
siderable support for his general
views on this subject at yesterdays S
Council meeting, indicated he would
offer formal amendments to Mr.,
Lies proposals and would suggest
the appointment of a small COM
mittee to try to work out an ac-
Ceptable interim measure.
His remarks yesterday were in
dorsed on the floor. at least in part,
by the delegates from Cuba, Nor
way, Lebanon and the United King
dom.
The Peruvians views briefly were:
l. The proposed interim commits
sion should be limited initially to
ascertaining information about the
million or more refugees in Europe
and the Near East and should be
responsible directly to the Economic
and Social Council.
Urges Limited Budget.
2. 1t should be given a limited
budget and should be required to
report back to the council at a fixed
time, possibly six or eight months
from now.
3. If it proved to be doing an eff
cient job, it's functions and its funds
should be enlarged from time to
time.
4. Action on the constitution and
budget of the proposed permanent
refugee organization, meanwhile,
should be held up indefinitely.
Mr.. Area Parro said there was no
assurance the refugee problem might
not continue for 10 or II years at a
cost of hundreds of millions of dol
lars.
The Norwegian government al
ready had filed a formal memoran-
dunn with the secretary general de-
claring that it was afraid the heavy
costs of the operational and resettle-
ment budgets will tend to make gov
ernments hesitate before joining the
organization"
The proposed budget for both op-
erations and large scale resettlement
is estimated at slightly more than
S250,OO0,O00.
