PLANE (Continued from Page 1) there were no casualties on the American side, and emphasized that the Red planes made their attack "over the high seas," It said: "The United States plans to protest most vigorously "against this further evidence of Chinese Communist brutality and their belligerent interference with a humanitarian rescue operation being conducted over the high seas." The American fighters were from the two United States aircraft carriers ordered into the area Saturday to "protect further rescue and search operations" launched after Chinese Communist fighters shot down a British Cathay Pacific airliner on a flight from Bangkok to Hong Kong. The Communist radio announced today that the Peiping government was Apologizing to British for the attack on the airliner. It said the Red pilots thought the plane was Chinese Nationalist.

Thailand MCCHORD AIR FROCE BASE, Wash, Syngman Rhee of South Korea predicted last night that Thailand "will be the next victim" of Communist ag- ression. The Korena President en route to an official visit with President Eisenhower, described as "an unfortunate thing" the manner in which tht Indochina action WAS settled. and Vietnamese positions at Qui Nhon, 100 miles north of Nha Trang, and struck at Tuy Hoa, midway between tiie two towns. Other Vietminh forces brought pressure on Cheo Reo, a post 60 miles southwest of Qui Nhon on central Viet Nam's plateau. Gen.

Paul Ely, French commander in chief in Indochina, warned the rebels to stop or face mass air retaliation. The stepup of fighting in the South, just as the cease-fire is about to go into effect, appeared base on a Vietminh desire to show Their strength to communities which will not be under their control. Peiping radio has broadcast statements by both Ho and Vietminh Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap to the effect that South Viet Nam was only temporarily in French hands, regardless of the cease-fire. Ho was quoted as saying, "The demarcation line does not mean the political and territorial border line.

North, central and south Viet Nam are inseparable parts of our nation's territory. We assure the people of each region, that they will be liberated." Evacuation Begun Jacques Compain, French civilian director general in North Viet Nam, said he hoped to fly out 300 French civilians and 500 Vietnamese Wednesday. By mid-August, he expects the operation to hit high gear with about 1,000 flying out daily and another 4,000 a day going by ship from Haiphong, 65 miles east of Hanoi, to Saigon, 700 miles southward. Evacuation of the Hanoi area must be completed within 80 days after the July 27 cease-fire. Military units can remain in Haip- hong up to 300 days.

Th cease-fire will be supervised by a three-nation commission Indian, Communist Poland and Canada. India has accepted chairmanship of the commission. Peip- ing radio announced last night Poland also had agreed to serve on the group. As the day of evacuation approached, both sides stepped up their propaganda battle for more than a million Roman Catholics living in the North. There were claims and denials that Red sympathizers already are persecuting Catholics in Red River delta recently abandoned to the rebels.

The Vietnamese hope to persuade Catholics in the delta to migrate south, where they presumably would furnish a solid bloc of votes in future elections provided by the cease-fire. 7,000 Said Dead in Flood NEW DELHI, India from the India-Tibet' border say more than 1,000 persons died in the floods which swept the Tibetan trade center of Gyantse last week.
