Ashley, bridge painter, is in St. Ann’s hospital with a broken back as a result of an accident on the Douglas-Juneau bridge yester- day afternoon at 5:30. Ashley was painting a girder above the bridge deck when a Douglas dump truck driven by A. J. Balog passing underneath hooked Ash- ley's spraygun hose on the truck body and jerked Ashley down about 15 or 20 feet. Lee Lewis, who was also working on the bridge, anticipated the acci- dent and in trying to rescue Ashley, lost his balance and jumped, in- juring one foot. Ashley landed on his head and shoulders, according to workmen at the scene. Balog, unaware of the accident, drove on to Douglas with the spray- gun hose still attached to the truck. Earl Seebree, Yejlow cab driver, saw Ashley fall and notified the cab stand which called Juneau police and the ambulance. Traffic was tied up for about 15 minutes until the two men were removed to the hos- pital.

This indicated Allled belief that 19 hours of immunity from air at- tacks had afforded the Reds ample time to travel the 130 miles for to- day's scheduled meeting to arrange for cease-fire talks. The Allied delegation was ready to depart this morning from the Seoul area, probably in two heli- copters, for the 35-mile trip to Kae- song, three miles south of Parallel 38 In Western Korea. The Reds had sent word by radio that their motor convoy would leave Pyongyang at 5 a.m. Saturday. They were presumed to have arrived at Kaesong long before now, although there was no information whether they had actually done so, or even whether they had left Pyongyang. Road “Opened” At any rate, a spokesman at which had been declared off limits to Allied attacks from 5 am., was now again ‘subject to attack, efféc- tive Saturday midnight (noon, Bat- urday, PST). A fve-mile radius around Kae- song continued to be recognized by the Allies as a neutral zone. The UN delegation to the pre- liminary talks will leave Seoul for Kaesong by jeep or helicopter Sun- day, depending on the weather. Whether by road or air, the group will cross the Imjin river at 9 a.m. (4 p.m. Saturday, PDT). ‘Two helicopters which may carry the Allied emissaries to Kaesong, 'eft from an airport near Scoul late this afternoon for an undisclosed rendezvous point.

The Reds said they woquld send three officers, including a colonel, two interpreters and “reception” personnel and assistanits to Kaesong. The South Korean defense min- ister and top officers of the Repub- lic's Army, Navy and Air Force met for two hours Saturday aboard a Korean naval vessel to discuss the proposed cease-fire. . What they decided was not im- mediately disclosed, but it is known the South Korean government is violently opposed to any end of the war that does not put all Korea un- der administration by the Republic. There was little action on the bat- tle lines Saturday. The Eighth Army communique reported only light con- tact as Allied patrols probed to for- ward areas. But spread across the Korean peninsula were thousands of UN and Red troops. If the cease-fire plans go awry, (Couunued on Page Six) Freighter Flemish Knot from Seat- tle in port.
