Four missing members of the American Communist Party Politburo failed to appear in Federal Court for Jailing today, and their $80,000 bail was ordered forfeited. Federal Judge Sylvester J. Ryan ordered attorneys for the four' into court at 2 p. to explain their absence. The failure of the four members of the Communist, National Committee to appear in court at the 10:30 a.

m. deadline set by Judge Ryan yesterday intensified a nation-wide FBI search for them. The four and seven of their colleagues were convicted in 1040 of conspiring to teach and advocate overthrow of the government by force. The other seven appeared in court yesterday and were remanded to jail to begin serving five-year prison terms. Gus Hall, Gilbert Green.

Mobilization Director Charles E.

Wilson told Congress today that aa armistice ia Korea would have no effect on the defense mobilization program. He urged a tax increase to keep the program on a pay-as-we-go basis and said lt would be unwise to do less than the $10,000,000,000 tax hike requested by President Truman. Wilson testified before the Senate Finance Committee which is considering Mr. Truman's request and the House-approved bill to increase taxes only $7,200,000,000. admitted under questioning of senators that "if there is no war," a tax burden like the one now contemplated would "wreck" the economy In the long run.

Again using the qualifying phrase "if there ia no war" Wilson said that by 1955 taxes and government spending will have to be reduced "substantially." 'He said he wanted to emphasize that the defense program must continue to go forward, that military requirements must be fulfilled on schedule, and that these goals must be achieved "without weakening our economic structure." "Some of you may be wondering what effect a truce in Korea will have upon our defense mobilization program if current negotiations are successful," Wilson said. "The answer is lt will have no effect. "Our defense mobilization must be baaed not upon the Korean fighting but upon what we know to be the ultimate alms and present tactics of the Soviet Unlop. Until we know that there Is a genuine change in the long-term aims of world Communism, we cannot afford to slow the paoe of our own defense buildup and our aid to other countries," Wilson testified, that in military orders have been placed since the Korean War began and that contracts are now being awarded at a rate of $3,500,000,000 to KOOO.000,000 a month. Deliveries and construction activity have reached $1,500,000,000 a month, he said, and will climb to $4,000,000,000 a month within a year.

He told the aenators that he la not satisfied with progress in production. He recited ateps being taken to speed up production and deliveries. These steps, he said, are expected to bring a rapid increase in output. If these steps are fully successful, Wilson said, there could be a shift of several billion dollars In government spending from the 163 fiscal year which begins next July 1 to the current fiscal year which began this week. The result, he aaid, could be a deficit larger than the $10,000,000,.

000 now forecast by the administration unless taxes are Increased. In any event, he said, military spending wijl increase substantially in fiscal 1953. He did not suggest that another tax Increase may be Budapest, Hungary, July I.

Mess-v MtV- recalled that Pennsylvania's fatality record for last Fourth of i July was mild compared to those of ether Statei, but said there was no reason for complacency. tich a sacrifice on the altar of I "This Land la My Imkeritaskaa" was the theme of the Commemorative address delivered at Wyoming 1 Monument this morning on the 173d anniversary of the Battle of Wyoming. Speaker of the day at exercises held by the Wyoming Commemorative Association was Dr. Paul A. W.

Wallace, eJitor of Pennsylvania History. Dr. Wallace began his addrest by reminding his audience that the soil of this beautiful Valley of Wyoming has been moistened, not once, but many times with the blood of men who sacrificed them selves in defense of the land they loved. The speaker sketched briefly the history of the Indian tribes who inhabited this valley before the white Wen came as settleis. Wyoming was actually a great highway center for the Indians, the hub of no less than eight Important traiis.

Thousands of years of experimentation had shown the Indians where the best possible routes lay for men and women traveling on foot. Without suoh a sj-stem of good trails the Six Nations never could have been established. The speaker dwelt at length on the Indian trails and their importance to the Indian people. Commenting on this phase of early life, the speaker said: "We live so much on the road, theso daya, and travel great distances by car. Accustomed aa we are to hard-surfaced roads, foam cushioned seats, hotels, motels, and cabins da luxe, we are apt to think with pity of the hardships that must have been suffered by men and women traveling to Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, by Indian trail two hundred years ago.

The trails of those days were not so dangerous, not so uncomfortable, not so draib and monotonous as writers of fiction have led us to believe. The woods of Pennsylvania were friendly. The trails were actually safer than our modern highways." "There was no lack of color on Indian paths. The. colors I have principally in mind are those painted by Indian artists on the trees.

The aisles of the forest were the Indian's art gallery, his newspaper, and his United Nations Bulletin. David Zelsberger, the great Moravian missionary, saw many such paintings in the course of his travels. This was the land, threaded 'with friendly trails for use of the gay, communicative people who were here before us. And in all Pennsylvania there was no place cherished with a deeper devotion than the sheltered haven of Wyoming. 'This said Teedjmscung, 'is my Of course Wyoming Valley was more than a pleasant path in the forest.

It was for a time the nub of Indian, and especially of Iroquois, geo-polltlcs. Whoever controlled writes the author of "King of the Delaiwares, at once blocked white expansion northward from Pennsylvania inter the Iroquois country and controlled the war and diplomatic trails from Shamokin to jOnondaga." I Concluding his address. Dr. Wallace sketched the Battle of Wyo ming a.s follows: "On July 3, 1778, the Senecas, supported by some others of the Six-Nations, made a last bid, under cover of the Revolutionary War. for the recovery of their lost valley.

We all know what happened. Men of our race, gathered in Forty Fort, men whose homes and the fruit of so many years' toll were now at stake, sallied out gallantly to. meet an enemy of unknown strength. Zebulon Butler and his men, imbued with a sense of the Tightness of their cause, but unaware of the powerful motives animating tie Indians who formed the bulk of the opposing forces, marched to the climax by a tragedy, which, aa we look back now, we can see to have been already ohaped by the events of 1763. 'Tet that day was not the end, but the (beginning for our people.

The horror of the massacre shocked the civilized world, and won golden friends for the new nation and the principles for which it was struggling. "In the end. our nation (Hd more than conquer its enemies: it won them over. Today they, and all the free world, are with us. Let us not forget that, In the Secon World War the Six Nations Indians sent into the Held alongside our boys four times as many warriors as they had concentrated against us on that terrible day In July, 1778.

'In commemorating, as we do today, our unhappy division with those Indians Jin the past, let us remember alo our unity with them In the present." The prfram opened with music by the Jfhn D. Stark Pest, No. M3, AmerlcaTl Legion Band. Invocation was rivjm by Rev. William R.

Wil hams, Motor af the Church of The Br EARNEST HOBORBOHT (United Press Staff Correspondent) Tokyo, July 3. The United Nations agreed today to Communist proposals for a Korean cease-fire conference and suggested a preliminary meeting on the battlefield Thursday to arrange details. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, Supreme '4N Commander, urged the Reds to send liaison officers under a white flag to the 88th Parallel "ghost city" of Kaesong Thursday morning (Wednesday night EDT) to "insure efficient arrangement" of the armistice talks.

He accepted the Communist proposal to open the main talks in Kaesong on the Western Front "no-man's-land" July 10, but asked the Reds make it sooner, if possible, to save lives. "Since agreement on armistice terms has to precede cessation of hostilities, delay in initiating the meetings and in reaching agreement will prolong the fighting and Increase the losses," Ridgway said. The supreme commander's reply waa broadcast to the Reds at 2:37 p. m. (12:87 a.

m. EDT), 39 hours and 37 minutes after they proposed the Kaesong meeting. UN monitors immediately tuned to the wavelengths of the Pelping and Pyongyang, capitals of Communist China and North Korea, for the enemy's answer. Red China already has Indicated, however, that July 10 la the earliest date on which it is prepared to open cease-fire talks. Radio Peiping quoted an editorial in the official newspaper People's Daily aa saying that the Chinese proposal for a meeting during the July 10-15 period was a "very quick measure" considering the devastated state of Korean communications.

It also said Communist negotia tors will demand a "demilitarized zone" between the opposing armies as one condition of a truce. Meantime, the war thundered on all along the front except around Kaesong, on the western flank. Kae song, ancient capital of Korea, was already an open city to all intents and purposes. Allied planes no longer flew over the city, which lies a mile and a ho If south of the 38th Parallel and 35 miles northwest of Seoul. Allied patrols stayed clear of lt and Communist troops remained In their positions in the hills to the northwest.

But Allied and Communist guna duelled and patrols skirmished all along the west-central, east-central and eastern fronts stretching 100 miles east of Kaesong to the Sea of Japan. At the center of the line. United Nations infantry fought up sheer cliffs in the third day of a battle to kill or clean out Chinese Reds entrenched in mountains Just below Pyonggang, northern anchor of the old Communist "Iron Triangle." UN ships and planes at the same time kept up their non-stop bom bardment of enemy territory. Rldgway's message to the Com munists followed by a day and a half their proposal that the ceasefire conference be held In Kaesong rather than aboard the Danish Hos pital Ship Jutlandia, as the Supreme 1'N Commander originally had suggested. His ready acceptance of the Red counter-proposal proved Allied willingness to stick to the main issue rather than haggle over detail.

Ridgway addressed his reply to Kim II Sung, North Korean Premier and commander In chief, and Gen. Peng Teh-Hual, commander of Chinese "volunteers" in Korea, who signed the Communist proposal. "I am prepared for my representatives to meet yurs at Kaesong on July 10, or at an earlier date if your "representatives complete their preparations before that cate," Ridgway said. To insure efficient arrange ment of the many details connected with the first meeting, I propose mm noc 10 exceea inree of my liaison officers have a preliminary meeting with an equal number of yours in Kaesong July 5 or as soon thereafter as practicable." If the Communists agree, said, he would send his three officers not above colonel in rank by helicopter from Kimpo airfield, just northwest of Seoul, to Kaesong at a. m.

Thursday (7 p. m. Wed-rsday EDT). In the event of bad weather, he sr.Id, the officers would travel to Kaesong in three jeeps, each bearing a large white flag. The convoy would cross the Imjin River on the Seuul-Kaesong road at about 9 a.

The raging Missouri River broke through the major Cul Du Sac levee near here today, flooding at least 1000 acres of farmlands, and threatened to sweep over 25,000 more acres toward the Mississippi River.

Coast Guard Lt. Ira Bratcher aaid the swollen "Big Muddy" beat ita way through "several" places in the Cul Du Sac soon after the last Navy volunteers gave up their night-long efforts to hold it back. "It was coming through faster than they could stop lt," Bratcher said. The river rushed northward toward the iMissouri-Kaneas-Texas Railroad fill which acts aa a second levee. However, Bratcher aaid, the 100 flood workers who retreated to me second levee had "little hope" that they could save the 80 homes and expanse of farmlands between it and the Mississippi.

Mora than 200 farm families had been evacuated from the St. Charles area, but the city itself was not expected to be hit by the flood. The Missouri already had risen above the predicted crest, It, stood at 5.9 feet early today, 2-inches higher than the crest Army en gineers had expected tomorrow. Bratcher said flood workers atop the railroad fill dumped a load of sandbags and removed a heavy work train from the scene because of its weight on the sagging levee. Meanwhile, flood waters gradually receded in most of the stricken flood areas of Kansas.

But new dike failure at Maize, Kan, sent water crashing into Wichita from the Arkansas River. Two residential were flooded, one to a depth of four feet, west of Wichita, water a foot deep covered U. S. Highway 54, and a large area of farm land. In Northern Oklahoma, the city of Ralston braced for a flood from the Arkansas.

Federal River Forecaster P. R. Jonea saM the river would crest today at 21 feet, five above flood stage. The stream was already two feet out of its banks. The U.

8. district office of the Corps of Engineers at Kansas City reported that nine lives have been lost in the last 12 days of Kansas and Missouri floods. More than a million acres of farm land were u-ider water, with the waters claiming crops of ripened wheat and corn and sending more than 5,400 farm families fleeing to high ground.

Judge Ryan Issued bench warrant for the arrest of the missing four yesterday. When U. a. Attor-ney Irving H. Saypol told the judge at the opening of court today that the warrants had not been executed, Ryan ordered the clerk to call the names of the fugitives As he called each name, a marshal echoed it in the hall outside the courtroom.

There was no answer. Sajipol Informed the court the arrest warrants were in the hands of the FBI and U. S. Deputy Marshals. At the U.

S. attorney's request, the court declared the bonds forfeited. The FBI feared they might have joined up with four Indicted colleagues James E. Sidney Steinberg, Fred Fine and William Marron who eluded G-Men last June 29 when the 17 members of the party's second echelon were arrested In dawn raids. The Justice Department -warned It would prosecute any persons who are caught hiding missing Communist leaders under a law carries a maximum penalty of fine and six months' Imprisonment.

The department opposed bail throughout the original conspiracy trial. Communist sources said they dW not know what had happened to Hall, national secretary: Green, Illinois chairman; Winston, National organizational secretary, and Thompson, New York Party chairman, nor did they know the whereabouts of the second four. But one-time Red Louis BuJenz, who learned the workings of the I Commffhist mind when he was edi tor or the Daily Worker, said he did not think the fugitives were trying to leave the country in the fashion of Gerhardt Elsler, who fled behind the Iron curtain on the Polish ship Batory in 1949.
