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. 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' top leaders, President Chung Hee Park of South Korea and North Korean Premier and Communist party chief, Kim Il-sung, took KANSAS CITY (AP)-Harry Truman ventured out of his hospital room and told a nurse accompanying him on a stroll along the corridors that a newsman needed a shave and a haircut. The walk at the Research Medical Center Monday night capped Truman's first full day at the hospital, where he was admitted Sunday for tests described by his personal physician as routine. Robert W. Butler, a Kansas City Times reporter, was at the nurses' station and heard a voice say something relating to "a shave and a haircut." Butler, the only man in the hallway sporting muttonchop whiskers and a mustache, turned to see the former president moving along with a nurse and three chuckling Secret Service agents. Truman appeared moments later on the return trip.

"You know, Mr. President, when I was 11 years old I saw you at the Truman Library on the Fourth of July, the day Hawaii became the 50th state," Butler said. "You officiated at ceremonies held on the front steps of the library. Remember?" "Oh sure," the 88-year-old Truman replied, not stopping. As Truman turned the corner of the corridor he said something which caused one of the nurses to break out laughing.

After asking what Truman had said, Butler received the message relayed by one of the nurses: "He said you still need a shave and a haircut."

Waldheim said he made contact wih North Korean representatives during a visit to Vienna last March. The top-rung negotiations were the first such contact reported between the two governments since the 1950-53 Korean War that took two million lives, including 54,246 Americans fighting for the South.

The conflict ended in an armistice July 28, 1953 and the two Koreas still are officially at war. A Japanese colony from 1910 through World War Korea was divided into U.S. and Soviet occupation zones after the defeat of Japan. The zones became separate republics in 1948. In reaching the accord, the two Koreas may have decided to back away from military confrontation for military reasons or to join the movement toward East-West detente that follwed President Nixon's visits to Peking and Moscow.

"It isn't likely," Spottswood said. The 75-year-old black minister also told newsmen that a resolution calling for a NAACP policy of limiting its presidential office to a black man would be "overwhelmingly defeated by the delegates," if it came to the convention floor.

While the NAACP is considering a resolution calling for the defeat of the Republican President, it has no plans to consider a resolution endorsing a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, he said. DETROIT (UPD-Blacks are so upset about the "anti-Negro" policies of President Nixon that the NAACP national convention may break a historic nonpartisan tradition and call for Nixon's defeat in November, the NAACP's highest officer said Tuesday. Bishop Stephen G.

Early 4th of July morning, Billings residents began to abandon their city.
