 While Ford was on the operating table, Coach Paul Brown got a tele- gram from Bell saying Ford was fined for slugging. The rules infrac- ton was supposed to have been on the play when Ford was injured and the Browns penalized.

identified tonight as that w. Le-

the Princeton University reunion
in June, 1949.
Identification was made by Mrs

which were found in a rust-cov-

None of the four viewed the

Mr.. Hart said all were satisfied 1t
was Mr.. Alexander's body.
He said a watch found on the
body came from j. E. Cole & Co.,
a Philadelphia jewelry firm from
whom Mr.. Alexander purchased a
similar watch, and that a trout

car was similar to one Mr.. Alex

day that the aim was a total force
of three million men by 1953-his
larger figure presumably includ-
ing sea, air and military support
units.
Thus it will be relatively long
and dangerous time before the,
plans agreed to last week by the
Western nations can be trans
lated into strength in existence.
One aspect of Americana British
French diplomacy, therefore, is
designed to prevent the open but
limited war with the Chinese
Communists in Korea from be-
coming a general war, even at the
cost of further U. N. defeats.
This evidently was agreed in the
series of talks earlier this month
involving, first, French Premier
Rene Pleven and British Prime
Minister Attlee at London and,
second, Mr.. Attlee and President
Truman in Washington. The Brit
iSh and French, fearful of a gen.
eral war or of lag in European
defense preparations because of
Far. Eastern fighting. are even
more anxious than American lead
ers to prevent any deeper military
involvement in the Far East.
For time it appeared this OBJ
jective might be attained by ne
gotiating for a peaceful settlement
with the Chinese Communists. The
Red Chinise governments state
ment at Peiping Friday rejecting
a U. N. cease fire demand in Korea
apparently has dashed any such
hope.
If this is an indication of gen.
eral Communist unwillingness to
negotiate now except on the Com
munistS' own terms. there is little
hope of positive results from the
prospective Western power talks
with the Russians. However, there
is a strong feeling among top off,
cials here that time which may
now be spent in negotiating will
not be wasted.
Up to the day the Korean crisis
broke on the world, last June 25,
the United States Government was
working on an estimate of Russian
intentions which held that Mos
cow would not for several years
take any action which might pre-
cipitate an open fight with the
West.
Korea brought a revision of this
opinion. It was decided that the
men in the Kremlin. by permit
ting or inspiring the North Korean
attack on South Korea, had shown
they were willing to risk war much
earlier.
This has shortened the period
OF defense preparation considered
available to the Western world
whether the defenses are to dis
courage Russian aggression or to
withstand the assault, if it comes.
Senators who heard Secretary
OF State Acheson give a report
behind closed doors at the Capt.
tol Friday came away with. the
impression that the Government
does not consider a Russian at
tack on the West imminent. There
is general hope that the present
uneasy peace can be maintained
indefinitely. Whether it will last
for another two years. however,
is a speculation on which no re-
SponSible official would care to
risk his reputation.

Because of the body's excessive
deterioration. Princeton township
police had hesitated to identify
the body as Mr.. Alexander. Chief
Martin Clausen said tonight, how
ever, that the case is now closed.
Deputy County Physician Car

autopsy and established drowning
as the cause of death.
The car, a Lincoln coupe which
Mr.. Alexander drove to the re-
union, was spotted through the ice

were skating on the lake.
Mr.. Alexander was never seen

NSSoSi0ie0 FiSsS SiOu VIh0t
Perhaps the most vital question
facing the United States this
Christmas week end is one which
neither President Truman nor his
best-informed advisers can answer
decisively.
It is the question of time: How
long do this country and its al
lies have to make secure their
shaky defenses against Russian
might?
The last 10 days have brought
a series of major policy decisions
now being quickly translated into
action for a mSsive buildup of
forces here and in Europe. But
continuing uncertainty about Rus
sia's intentions for peace or war
creates a state of tension un-
known since the grim Christmas
season of 1941 when this unpre-
pared Nation had just been
plunged into World War II
The American Government and
people then knew beyond question
what they had to do. They had
to mobilize every resource of man
power and industry to crush the
Axis enemy in Europe and Asia.
Today, in state of conflict that
is part military and part inter-
national politics, the country is
committed to a definite course of
action in Western Europe, Korea,
the Pacific and the Western Hem
isphere. But it is action based
for its success on calculated
risk that the leaders of Com
munism will not launch an all
out war before the West is more
prepared.
Relying on Atomic Power.
It is this risk which makes the
time element of supreme import
ance. All disclosures of Allied
plans in recent days have had
In common the need for one or
two years. possibly more, in which
to construct the newly planned
ramparts of the West.
During this interval the one
power which is relied upon to
stay the military might of the
Kremlin is the atomic striking
power of the United States.
Diplomacy, however, has an
important role to play in explor-
ing the possibilities of peaceful
settlements with the Communist
bloc or, if these prove impossible,
Of figuring out ways to buy time
while strengthening the anti
Communist coalition.
Those purposes, in fact, appear
clearly to underlie the current
diplomacy of Washington, Lon
don and Paris. AS a result of
decisions reached at the Brussels
conference early last week, the
West is:
l. Prepared, as the United
States. Britain and France told
Moscow Friday. to open nego-
tiations with the Soviet Union
on wide range of East-West
issues which are at the roots of
present world tensions.
2. Going ahead urgently with
the creation of an international
army to defend Western Europe.
8. Negotiating with Germany
despite Russian protests-to in
clude German units in this army.
4. Stepping up production of all
types of weapons on a schedule
designed to maintain minimum
adequate strength for many years
without too greatly disrupting ci-
villain economies.
Further Involvement Feared,
News reports from Brussels said
the Atlantic powers were aiming
at an army of about one million
men in defense positions facing
the Iron Curtain by the end of
1858.

reported to have told the Senate
