Times Washington Post Service and New York Times Dispatches WASHINGTON Xorth 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 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 II Sung. It was the first time that government representatives of the two Koreas had held direct bilateral talks on the problems of Korean reunification since the nation was divided in 1945. In 1954, the foreign ministers of North and South Korea participated in a multi-nation conference in Geneva to discuss Korean reunification following the 1953 Korean armistice.

But it produced no results. Nixon administration officials said they to install a direct Seoul-Pyongyang telephone link to deal "directly, promptly and accurately" with problems arising between them. The "emergency" telephone link was opened later yesterday. Officials of the Seoul government also began using such words as "the North," "Pyongyang" or "North Korea" in speaking of the northern half of the divided country dropping long-familiar references to "the Northern puppet group." The government also instructed newspaper editors to follow suit. The secret negotiations were conducted by Lee IIu Rak, director of the South Korean Central Intelligence have been kept informed about the negotiations, which took place in Pyongyang from May 2 to 5 and in Seoul from May 29 to June 1.

State Department spokesman Charles Bray III said the agreement was "most encouraging and could have a salutary impact on prospects for peace and stability" on the Korean peninsula. Yesterday's announcement follows meetings between Red Cross officials of the two countries last August aimed at reuniting some 10 million Korean families, separated by the peninsula's post-See NORTH, Back page, col. 1, this section I fmm. yasw.

Oii-again, of -again world chess match is off (again) From New York Times and AP Dispatches SAIGON South Vietnamese paratroopers penetrated the southeastern city limits of Quang Tri yesterday, killed at least 20 North Vietnamese defenders and recaptured a dozen artillery pieces lost when the country's northernmost province fell to the enemy more than two months ago. 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 reoccupied. 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. Gail Furrow, 32, of Urbana, Ohio, said, "The enemy appears to be pulling back, but we're encountering resistance from nearly every trceline, every village "If they decide to put all their people in Quang Tri and stand and fight, it's going to be rough," he said. Some American and South Vienamese officers said incessant bombing and shelling have broken the back of the North Vietnamese holding Quang Tri.

By HAROLD C. SC HONBERG New York Timet Newt Service REYKJAVIK, Iceland The world championship chess match, postponed and then postponed again because of the protests of Bobby Fischer, was delayed once more yesterday this time because the titlcholder refused to play. The champion, Bo'ris Spassky of the Soviet Union, showed up at a meeting at which lots were to be drawn for the right to make the first move in the first game, which was to begin yesterday. Fischer, who was said to be asleep, was represented by his second. Instead of drawing lots, Spassky tossed down a statement and stalked out of the room.

The statement, in a translation supplied by Tass, the Sovipt press agency, said: "Fischer broke the rules of holding the contest by refusing to come for the ceremony of opening the match. By this, Fischer insulted me, personally, and the Amusements A 16-17 Deaths A 7 Editorials A 10 Financial 9 Radio, Television 2 Sports 4 8 Today's Living A 18-19 A Treasury about $50 million, the Army claims. "The stationing of the 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile) was not an arbitrary decision," the official Army rebuttal reads. The controversy has blossomed because it is now appropriations time on Capitol Hill, and the Army is asking for $13.8 million in construction funds for Ft. Campbell, much of the money necessary to accommodate the 101st.

The 101st officially was welcomed in April back to Ft. Campbell, located on the Kentucky-Tennessee state line near Hopkinsville, after a five-year tour of duty in Vietnam. Before its. Vietnam stint, the men of the 101st were trained parachute soldiers. The unit had some 90 aircraft to accomplish that mission.

But in Vietnam, the division got an additional job airlifting soldiers to battle zones by helicopter. So now the unit its official designation lengthened to include the word "airmobile" has an aircraft strength of up to 422, which is far more than Ft. Campbell's present facilities can handle. That's why last year the Army proposed a J.hree-phased construction program for a new airfield complex at the post. At a projected total cost of slightly more than S'6 million, the complex would include new hangars, maintenance facilities and parking aprons.

But before the money can be spent Congress must appropriate it, and that means approval from the appropriations committees of both houses. Early this year, the House committee directed its investigative staff to determine what alternate facilities might be available for the 101st elsewhere. The subsequent "secret" report was "sanitized' and made public late in May. (The Sec RETURN Back page, col. 1, (his section 7 15 D'yon lie?

TSew safety, sanitation laws inav needed Officials plan a closer look at youth-camp regulations Sjew-WT Vs' mrmt iimujiii "mrn, O-j-T Si'x ft 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, riflery and horseback riding, and also 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 "frankly" was not up to date on youth camp problems, even though thousands of Kentucky children 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 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. Inspections of safety and sanitation con- Sre OFFICIALS PAGE 12, col. 1, this section 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 YMCA camp took David -Kurman over rapids agair.it the advice of a forest ranger. The father, Mitch Kurman, afounde! that there were no federal or state youth camp safety laws, started his crusade soon after the accident seven ears ago. This reporter's visits 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.
