Plane Turns
 Turtle in Channel; Passengers Doused

A angle-engined Seabee plane turned turtle in Gastineau Chan nel at 5:45 pm. yesterday, to abuse its three passengers and lnjure its pilot slightly.
 The plane, owned by Flying, Inco a small Juneau company, lit on the water between the rock dump and the Alaska Coastal Airlines hanger with it's wheels down, which caused it to upend suddenly.
 According to sheldon Simmons, pilot, the hydraulic landing gear system apparently failed. He suf- fered slight cuts on the face
 Passengers were George Tapley, Alaska Road Commission engin- ger, the Rev. Raffaele Forni, va cationing Swiss priest and Walter K. Yost, tourist, of Berkley, Cal ifornia.
 The plane was under charter to the Alaska Road Commission and was returning from Skagway when the upset occurred. Wait listed st skagway on an Alaska Coastal flight, Forni and Yost were ricked up as a courtesy.
 At time of the accident, the harbor area was exceptionally busy. Three aircraft Nere pre- pairing to land at the Alaska Goa stal float and there were several boats in the channel
 Alaska Coastal officials tried yainly to signal the pilot of the Seabee, but were unable to at tract lis attention in time.
 Assisting in the rescue were two small outboards owned by AL aska Coastal employees and the yacht Golden Mist which reached the $ ne immediately and brought she gsengers ashore
 Simmons crawlea through the smashed windshield and assisted Tapley and Yost through a door. The three managed to remove the Rev. Forni through another door
 Simmons sustained slight cuts on the face and the loss of his glasses. yost and Tapley were uninjured save for a abusing. The Rev. Forni was taken to St. Ann's Hospital and is reported to have suffered nothing more serious than an overload of salt water and was reported recovering nice- ly.
 Still missing today was Tapleys wallet.

Reds Offer Acceptable Aqenda Plan
Armistice First, Then Alien Troop Move Asked by Communists

WASHINGTON, July %, -Rl- The Communists were reported today to have offered a compro- mise in the Korean cease-fire talks under which withdrawal of foreign troops would not be dis cussed until after an armistice.
 Indications arc that this pro- posal will prove acceptable to the United Nations command.
 The Reds heretofore have insis- ted that Che issue of pulling for eign troops Out--U. N. forces and Chinese Reds-should be on the program of armistice talks.
 Secretary of Defense Marshall, laying down the U. N. position, said yesterday the question is not a suitable one Tor consideration in the armistice negotiations.
 Responsible information here is that under the new Communist offer the most the U. N. Allies would have to undertake is promise to discuss arrangements under which the whole foreign troops problem would be taken up later.
 This probably means that out of the armistice talks, or perhaps parallel with them, some under standing will be reached for ne- gotiations to be held among in- terested governments or the pc liticaI issues of a permanent Ro- rean settlement.
 The Communist proposition had been described by U. N. spokesmen in Korea as reasonable in con- tent and phraseology' and sui ficiently interesting" for the AL lied delegates to have proposed a long overnight recess for further study,
 It was put forth after a four day suspension of the talks asked by the Communists and was re- ported to Washington by Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, the U. N. Commander in Korea. Ridgway was said to have relayed the word for information and, it was un- Aderstood, for instruction on the line he should take in the next round of the talks tonight. CWash- ington time).
 However,, even. assuming that this understanding clear the way for the KaesOng talks to go for ward promptly, at least two other serious issues are said to remain.
 These are reported to concern CD the selection of a demarcatlon line between the bellieerent 1of- ces and @ arrangement Of in- spection procedures to be sure that the truce, once established is not broken. (See elsewhere in today's Empire for earlier story on Red proposals).
