A Foreign Offom spokes- man tonight denied that there was anything to justify et. ports that Britain had sent a note to Franca outlining pro. posals that she intends to take to make to Moscow for ending the Korean war.

As a member of the United Nations, the spokesman stated, Britain was naturally con. wulting with many interested parties on the best ways and means, including diplomatic motion, for settling the Korean Incident.

Important week ahead in Korea

New York, July 10;--

This is the wack when Stalin is going to have to make up his mind. If he is looking for World War (1) ho knows where he can find it—in the rice paddies of Korea,

All he would have to do to strike a match that would set the world aflame is to send some Russian troops and fliers into Korea. Send them in openly that is, with the red star of the Soviet Union on their planes and helmets. But there is a growing be- lief in Washington, London and Lake Success that Stalin does not want World War III. At least not right now,

So where does that leave Stalin and the other men in the Krem- In?. It leaves them

bad in n dilemma. The Americans are be- ginning to build up their strength In Korea and if Russia does not net quickly in the next seven or eight days the entire picture of The war may change.

In the Inst Ave days these things have happened:

1. American Blors have won control of the Karenn skles. Re- ports from the front say that only rarely dues a Cominunist plane appear, and when it does it for the Thirty-eighth Parallel as soon as it sights an American.
