The surprise agreement came in a joint communique issued simultaneously in Seoul and North Korea's capital of Pyongyang. The agreement said that the two nations have agreed not to slander or defame each oilier ami not to undertake armed provocations against each other in an effort to ease tensions and foster mutual trust. The communique was signed by Lee Hu-rak, 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 Korean Premier Kim Il-sung. In Washington, the State Department welcomed the agreement as "most encouraging." Press officer Charles W.

Bray said the United States had no role in the negotiations which led to the agreement but added that the South Korean government kept the Nixon administration informed. The seven-point communique said Lee visited the North Korean capital May 2-5 and held talks with Kim Young-joo. On behalf of Kim, North Korean Second Vice Premier Park Sung-chul visited Seoul May 29 through June 1 and held further talks, it said. The communique spelled out three principles lor national unification on which the two sides agreed: "First, unification shall be achieved through independent Korean efforts without being subject to external imposition or interference. "Second, unification shall be achieved through peaceful means, and not through the use of lorce against each other.

Enemy gunners pounded a base camp yesterday on the northwestern approach to Hue with about 500 rounds of I'iOmin artillery and mortar fire, a communique said.

The department's request is contained in a city staff recommendation to tne council urging acquisition of 82 acres of land within the preserve for $16X300.

The hulk of the parcel. 79 acres, is owned by the National Broadcasting with the remaining acreage belonging to an out--state owner and Arizona Title Co. The council will take up the matter during its weekly informal session in the Municipal Building, 251 W. Jefferson. The immediate need, city officials said, is for about 17 acres of land near 24th Street and Thunderbird.

in the mountain preserve. The remaining 65 acres would.be set aside for "open space" and park purposes. Top city officials, still keenly aware of the public clamor created by the city's plans to construct a service center in the Dreamy Draw area of the preserve, contend the two water storage facilities will not disturb the mountain preservation concept. The city's plans to construct a police briefing station, a one-story office building and a storage yard in Dreamy Draw spurred strong protests from area residents who charged the council was violating its own moratorium on land development in the mountain preserve. The council last month extended that moratorium until Dec.

31, 1972 and also withdrew plans to construct anything at Dreamy Draw. The water department request for the reservoir and storage tank, in effect, asks the council to waive the moratorium to allow for construction. City Manager John B. Wentz said the water department's request, still at a preliminary stage, does not alter the city's commitment to the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Norman McClelland, chairman of the commission appointed by the city to help the city devise a plan to preserve mountain range as a scenic-recreational area, said his group had not been informed of the city's water tank building plans.

He said his group normally would not be notified of such plans until they had been discussed informally by the council and city staff. "We just don't have any alternatives: we need that site." Wentz said when asked about the city's commitment to the preservation concept. "Water runs down hill and we need the height that's in the specified area," he added. Wentz pointed to the urgency voiced by members of the city's Waters and Sewers Department. Art F.

The declaration came in response to a request by Gov. Williams last week after federal local teams estimated public and private damage in the state from the June 21 and 22 storms at $10.8 million. The White House declaration did not specify a money figure for assistance, said Col. Carl N.

Smith, state emergency services director. "But that never becomes a problem," Smith said. "They i federal authorities) generally designate an amount which will provide minimum coverage, and if experience shows that isn't enough, the governor will shoot in a letter (to the White House) and ask for an increase," Smith said. The President's telegram to the governor read in part: "As you requested. I have declared a major disaster area for Arizona because of damage due to severe storms and flooding beginning on or about June 21.

"I have authorized federal relief and recovery assistance in the affected areas. The Office of Emergency Preparedness will coordinate federal disaster assistance efforts. Robert Stevens, regional OEP chief in San Francisco, was designated as assistance coordinator for Arizona. Smith said the federal assistance will enable organizations and agencies such as the Red Cross, the Small Business Administration and the Fanners Home Administration to provide help to storm victims. The President's declaration means that public agencies can be fully reimbursed for storm losses assessed by federal representatives.

Private storm victims are now eligible for loans up to $50,000 to cover storm losses. The federal government will forgive up to $2,500 of the long-term, low-interest loans after the first $500 is paid back. Smith said. In Scottsdale. the area hardest hit by the storms, the SBA has made tentative plans to set up a center for private loan applications in the Scottsdale High School cafeteria, City Manager Dale Carter said.

The center may be open by tomorrow, Carter said. i tuerai judges in rnoenix yesteraay deliu-rcd on their promise to crack down on border marijuana smuggling by ordering prison terms for five youthful first offenders. "We're going to be giving increasing jail sentences, especially if you come back here a second time." U.S. District Court Judge Carl A. Muecke told one of the men.

First offenders usually have been given probationary sentences following a plea of guilty in the Arizona district courts, records showed. All five of the men sentenced yesterday were stopped at the U.S.-Mexico border near San Luis earlier this year. U.S. Customs agents said the amount of a i a a found in their vehicles ranged from 10 to 482 pounds. The five all pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

A second charge against them, importation of marijuana, was dismissed at time of sentencing. "These are the men referred to in the trade as "mules." Muecke said. "They arc offered money, usually as little as $50, to drive across the border with marijuana. "They are recruited by the dealers because they have a clean record and arc told that if they are caught they will receive probation." U.S. District Court Judge William P.

Copple said that the "mules" are sometimes not even told how much they will receive for smuggling the marijuana across the border. "They're told to come back after delivery and get some money," Copple said. Four of the five men sentenced yesterday are Mexican citizens who face deportation when released from prison. Muecke sentenced three of the men to serve six months in prison, to be followed by deportation and 4' years probation. Copple ordered one-year prison terms for the other two men, followed by two years probation.

Sentenced by Muecke were Gilberto Martinez-Reyes. 25. of Mexicali, Baja California. Hermilo Reves-Fajardo, 27. of Sonora: and Victor Reyes-Castillo, 22, of San Luis.

Iceland Bobby Fischer accepted a London banker's offer of a $130,000 richer prize pot for the world championship chess match and flew out of New York last night toward his confrontation with Soviet titleholder Boris Spassky. Paul Marshall, a lawyer in New York for Fischer, said the 29-year-old American challenger had accepted banker James D. Slater's offer of the extra prize money and would be in Reykjavik by today's noon deadline.

Earlier yesterday, the sponsors of the championship match turned down Fischer's bid for a cut of the gate receipts in addition to the prize money previously agreed on. Marshall quoted Fischer as saying of Slater's proposal: "I gotta accept it. It's a stupendous offer." He said Fischer considered the gesture "incredible and generous and brave." Slater said in London he received confirmation of Fischer's acceptance by telephone and had been told the challenger planned to fly to Reykjavik. Fischer must arrive in Reykjavik by noon today (5 a.m. Arizona time) or Proudly honor our Fffig today On this day 1 years ago in 1776 the Continental Congress of the then emerging United States of America signed a Declaration of Independence against the British Crown.

today (10 a.m. Arizona time), postponed from the same time Sunday at Fischer's request. The Russians, from Spassky here in Iceland to the Soviet Chess Federation in Moscow, protested the fact that the World Chess Federation (FIDE) granted a postponement of Fischer's appearance. When Slater offered to put up his own money as an extra inducement to the American grand master, he stated: "Fischer has said that money is. the problem.

Here it is. What I am saying to Fischer now is 'come out and Marshall claimed that the issue with Fischer never had been money. "It was the principle," Marshall said. "He felt Iceland wasn't treating this match or his countrymen with the dignity that it and they deserved. And he was furious about the press censorship.
