Times-Washington Post Service and New York Times Dispatches WASHINGTON North and South Korea announced early yesterday that they have agreed to end hostilities and work toward peaceful reunification by "transcending differences" in ideologies and social systems. The surprise announcement, which followed a series of secret meetings between North and South Korean officials, was made in a joint communique issued simultaneously at Pyongyang and Seoul.

The two countries, which have been divided since the end of World War II, decided to establish a joint coordinating committee to implement the accord and to install a direct Seoul-Pyongyang tele The secret negotiations were conducted by Lee Hu Kak, director of the South Korean Central Intelligence Agency, and Kim Young Joo, director of North Korea's Organization and Guidance Department. Kim is a younger brother of North Korea's Premier Kim 11 Sung.

Secretary -General Kurt Waldheim disclosed yesterday that he had played a role as intermediary in the secret Korean talks. Waldheim said he had received North Korean government representatives while he was in Vienna in March. The North Koreans, he said, informed him of contacts they had been having with the Seoul government. "They made a number of suggestions, and I did not fail to inform the South Korean government of them," he said. Waldheim said he was "very satisfied" with the Korean accord and said it should help improve international relations in the region.

During yesterday's assault on the city, U.S. planes accidentally attacked South Vietnamese marines and reports said 11 marines were killed and 30 wounded. The mistaken attack was disclosed today by the U.S.

command, which said the accident north of Quang Tri City is being investigated. Earlier, allied sources said several hundred airborne troops attacked enemy defensive strongholds and set up their own defensive positions a half mile from the city center at nightfall. The government said two towns in the area were reocctipied. The government flag was raised during the afternoon at Mai Linh, a district headquarters 1.2 miles southeast of Quang Tri, but considered within the city limits. Mai Linh and Hai Lang, six miles southeast of Quang Tri, were the first of 14 towns in Quang Tri Province taken during the three-month-old enemy offensive that have been recaptured by government forces.

Reports from the eastern flank of the government drive said South Vietnamese marines were within four miles of the city. Their officers predicted they could be in Quang Tri in a day. Elements of the airborne troops moving up Highway 1 toward Quang Tri encountered the first bunkers in what was believed to be a heavy line of fortifications around the city. A U.S. airborne adviser, Capt.

Urges Chinese adjustment Tanaka's election platform called for the earliest possible adjustment of relations with China; continued good relations with the United States: vigorous tackling of problems caused by Japan's export surplus; tough domestic action to make the government more welfare-oriented, more effective in fighting pollu-lion, fighting urban sprawl and improving environment and education.

Several did sit in dry comfort New sufetv. laws mav he needed Officials plan a closer look at youth-camp regulations I J- fa By KYLE VANCE Courier-Journal Staff Writer Two state officials have decided to take a closer look into the need for stricter safety and sanitation controls over summer youth camps in Kentucky. The state has no laws dealing with the problem although it does have Health Department regulations. Safety Commissioner W. O.

Newman said he could readily see a need for requirements covering swimming, boating. II fiery and horseback riding, and al-o to set up qualifications for camp directors and counselors. And Health Commissioner Dr. William P. McElwain said health laws in general and camp regulations in particular seem "strong enough to do the job" if local boards of health and sanitarians will enforce them.

Each said that he "franklx" was not up to date on youth camp problems, even though thousands of Kentucky children attend more than 100 camps every summer. The two gave their views in interviews dealing with this reporter's findings in visits to 10 scattered camps. The visits were prompted by a Connecticut father's crusade for national camping laws after his 15-year-old son was killed in a canoeing accident. The accident happened when a canoe capsized on the Penobscot River in. Maine.

A counselor at a VMCA camp took David Kurman over rapids against the advice of a forest ranger. The father, Mitch Kurman, astounded that there were no federal or state youth camp safety laws, started his crusade soon after the accident seven years ago. This reporter's showed that most of the Kentucky camps are sanitary, reasonably safe and sufficiently supervised, even though there are no laws to deal with others lacking responsible leadership. Newman said he will undertake at once to determine where his department, deal ing now mostly with highway, water and fire safety, might fit into a camp safety program. McElwain said he will confer with others in the Health Department "who know more about the problem than I do." "It might be that the local (health) boards and sanitarians are not doing their jobs," he said.

"Maybe that is where we should start, at the local level." The department's regulations, adopted in 1962, mostly cover sanitation problems, and apparently are enforced in the spare time of sanitarians, according to interviews with some of them. The job of running orderly, safe and clean camps therefore rests almost solely on the shoulders of the directors, some of whom are experienced and some of whom are such as schoolteachers working in a part-time occupation.
