The U.N. commander's suggested preparatory meeting Would lay the groundwork for the cease-fire talk.

Ridgway proposed sending three officers by helicopter or jeep depending on the weather to meet with three communist officers in preliminary sessions. None would be higher rank than colonel. Only three people, apparently civilians, were spotted today by observers who flew ove the proposed meeting place Kae-song. The rubble-strewn city is in Red-held territory, three miles south of parallel 38 and 35 miles northwest of Seoul. It was chosen by Red commanders.

Three Far Eastern radio stations began broadcasting Ridgway's message at 2:30 p. m. Tues v. A (Continued from page 1) deeper than at any other time in of the war." Sixty American jets and six B-29 Superforts bombed, rocketed and straied the Pyonggang downtown airfield in the heart of the Red Korean capital. ing pilots called it a terrific blow.

Ridgway's latest message brought a feeling of relief to U. S. Eighth army headquarters, AP Correspondent Nate Polowet-zky reported, and a feeling that the shooting would come to an end. However, news dispatches from Moscow and Washington suggested not too much should be expected in the immediate future from armistice moves.

Warren Refusal To Appear Before Senate Crime Committee Is Announced In Letter From Florida Governor Tallahassee, Fla. (OTl) Gov. Fuller Warren says he isn't going to appear before the U. S. senate's crime investigation committee next Monday or at any other time while he is governor of Florida.

He said so in a four and a half page letter to Committee Chairman O'Conor Warren told O'Conor lt is his opinion that, "neither you nor the senate has the power to compel me to obey its commands." The governor returned with his letter the subpoena served on him by the committee. He had been summoned to testify in Washington July 9 on "what he knows concerning matters within the scope" of the committee's Investigation of interstate crime. The subpoena was issued after Warren turned down three invitations to appear as a voluntary witness, and countered by inviting the senators to discuss interstate crime with him in Tallahassee. The committee refused to come to the Florida capitol. Warren said yesterday he had "devoted several days of study to the constitutional questions involved" in the unprecedented senate subpoena for a governor.

"I have a firm and fixed opinion that your action seeking to compel my attendance upon your committee usurps powers re served to the states and is an af front to the dignity, the sover eignty and the independence of the people of this state." Warren told the committee. Members of the committee did not comment. Wav Is Cleared For Veeck Deal St. Louis. UP Bill Veeck went "over the top" today in his stock drive to buy the St.

Louis Browns. 1 An important stockholder, who had been a stubborn hold-out in the deal, tossed in his 8,572 shares at noon to give Veeck more than the 75 per cent of Browns' stock he wanted. Now all he has to do Is exercise an option he holds on the club and it is his. Herbert Waltke, the stockholder, had been one of thy important holdouts in Veeck's deal to buy the club from the DeWitt brothers. Veeck had demanded a minimum of 206,000 of the total shares of stock.

He was about 5,000 short when Waltke decided to sell his stock and assure Veeck's ownership. ii Slight Gxi ins Registered On Stock Market New York In its second straight recovery, the stork market today curved quk-tly higher. Many leaders gei more than at dollar a share at the best. Losses were held down firmly with only a handful dropping yond a dollar. Volume simmered dwn to estimated 1.300,000 shares for the day.

However, a private crop estimate indicated that favorable weather should Increase the production of spring wheat. This report also said that the corn crop should be above the 10-year "average, despite excessive rainfall in some sections of Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri.

Traders noted a considerable movement of corn and oats from Chicago to eastern seaboard, which may in dicate new export business In feed grains.

for advocating violent overthrow of the government. When the four again failed to appear today, after warrants for their arrests were issued, the court forfeited their bonds, totalling $80,000. Seven other convicted party leaders surrendered yesterday and started their terms. Speculation continued here that the missing four may have skipped the country. They are Henry Winston, communist organizational secretary; Robert G.

Thompson, New York state chairman; Gus Hall, Ohio chairman: Gilbert Green, Illinois chairman. Would Regard Truce Decision As First Step (Continued from page 1) be extremely important. We must have a mighty national defense force in order to be able to oppose with strength any possible aggressive plot of imperialism in the future." Explaining the Red command ers' selection of Kaesong as a meeting place for armistice talks and of July 10 as the earliest date, the editorial said: "As the 38th parallel will be the military demarcation line in this armistice, it is natural that Kaesong, which was formerly the ancient capital of Koera and is at the 38th parallel, would be the most suitable place. "Considering transport conditions in war-devastated Korea and the need for proper preparations for the armistice negotiations, one may say that to hold the negotiations between July 10 and 15 is very rapid." Bill On School Aids Is Signed By Governor Madison, Wis. UPt Governor Kohler Monday signed a bill boosting state aid to public schools.

The appropriation for July 1, 1951, to July 1, 1952, was increased from $16,200,000 to and for July 1. 1952. to July 1, 1953, from $16,500,000 to $17,500,000. Earmarked for school aid will be $3,500,000 annually from the state's normal income tax returns. Other measures signed will: Increase the monthly contribution of new teachers under Milwaukee teachers' retirement and annuity fund to $12 for the first 10 years and $20 thereafter.

(Now $7 for the first 10 years: $11 the next five years, and $15 thereafter). Authorize an appropriation of $90,000 for the public welfare department to purchase property near Cambridge for use as a prison farm, and $60,000 for the department to buy land in Outagamie and Brown counties near the state reformatory at Green Bay.

Bonds Of Four Reds Forfeited (Continued from page 1) their seven comrades who sur- rendered on schedule. But some officials here thought it possible the missing Reds had gone into hiding to set up a new underground politburo with four other communist leaders who have been fugitives from justice since June 20. It was on that date that a spy-hunting federal grand jury here indicted 21 more Red leaders on charges of conspiring to advocate the overthrow of the government. Many of those indicted were believed' to have been groomed by the party to take the places of the 11 top leaders when they finally should be sent to jaiL Round Up 17 The FBI quickly rounded up 17 members of this group but four still are at large. They are James E.

Jackson, Sidney Stein (or Steinberg), Fred Fine and William Marron. In ordering forfeiture of the bonds, Judge Ryan directed that Defense Attorneys Harry Sacher and Abraham Isserman, who represented the 11 leaders in a recent court appearance, appear before him later today. He also ordered subpoenas issued for the signers of the surety bonds for the four missing leaders. Bail for them was furnished by the Civil Rights Congress, an organization branded as subversive by the U. S.

attorney general's office. All four of the missing Reds are American-born but each has either visited or studied in Russia. They have gone underground to form a secret American communist or headquarters. May Surrender Eventually They may eventually surrender themselves, if not today, within the week. Their attorney argued in federal court that the U.

S. supreme court mandate for their arrest arrived here only yesterday while their surrender was ordered prematurely on Fri day. Ten of the convicted Red lead ers received five year prison sen 4ences. Thompson got three years because of his war record. All were fined $10,000.

The seven who showed up yes terday were Eugene Dennis, the nation's top communist before his conviction, John B. William' son, Irving Potash, John Gates, Carl Winter, Benjamin J. Davis, and Jacob Stachel. Davis and Winston are negroes. Bail of the missing convicted communist leaders was furnish' ed by the Civil Rights Congress, an organization branded subver sive by the U.

S. attorney gen eral's office. Must Not Harbor Fugitive Washington. UP Attorney General McGrath today threated to prpsecute anyone helping the four fugitive officials cf the com munist party to evade arrest. McGrath warned, in a state ment, that "any person conceal mg a fugitive from justice is liable to federal prosecution." He noted the law provides fines of $1,000 and six months prison terms, or both for persons convicted of such concealment.

Oatis denied the Czech government's charge that he had taken over "an espionage network" when he became Prague bureau chief. He insisted he had taken over only Associated Press office personnel. The prosecutor commented that it takes only two Informants to constitute an espionage network. The government charged in a statement before the trial that Oatis and the three postwar AP bureau chiefs who preceded him In Prague had organized the bureau into a spy renter that worked closely with U.

government officials.
