(Concluded on Page 2, Col. ft) SEOUL CAP) South and North Korea opened a hot line between their capitals Tuesday in a move for reconciliation between two governments that have been sworn enemies for the past quarter century. North Korea called for the withdrawal of U.S.

forces from the South. The direct phone link between Seoul, South Korea's capital, and Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, was the outcome of a recent round of secret high level negotiations. Simultaneous announcements in both cities said the accord provides for a joint political committee to open exchanges in many fields and to promote unification of North and South through peaceful means without outside interference. The two governments also agreed to refrain from armed provocations and from slandering or defaming each other. The two sides agreed to install the hot line "in order to prevent the outbreak of unexpected military incidents and to deal directly, promptly and accurately with problems" arising between them, the announcement said.

The agreements were reached at meetings in Pyongyang May 2 5 and Seoul May 29 June 1. The governments' toplead ers, President Chung Hee Park of South Korea and North Korean premier and Communist party chief Kim Il sung, took part. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim announced in Geneva that he acted as a go between. Waldheim said he made contact win North Korean representatives during a visit to Vienna last March.

"And I've been behind a meat counter for 44 years." A housewife in Little Rock, says the only meats she buys are chicken and hamburger. She avoids big name brands when choosing canned goods.

No matter what the location, the story's the same: the price of already a hefty chunk of the food going up. On June 16, representatives of the nation's food chains warned consumer groups to expect another big rise in prices, particularly of meats, in the upcoming weeks. The store owners said they no longer could absorb increases in wholesale costs. "It will be a matter of almost pure luck if they don't go up," said Timothy D.

The Associated Press priced lists of foodstuffs in stores in about two dozen cities on June 16 and checked the cost of the same item two weeks later.
