South And North Korea Set High Level Talks SEOUL (AP) South North Korea announced to their surprised citizens today they have agreed in high-level secret meetings to set up machinery to work for unification of the long-divided peninsula. Simultaneous announcements in Seoul, the South Korean capital, and Pyongyang, capital of Communist North Korea, said a new accord provides for a telephone hotline, between the two cities to prevent accidental war and for a joint political committee to open exchanges in Chess Match (Continued From Page One) by the Icelandic Chess Federation. Now the winner of the 24- game match will and the loser $93,750.

Each will also get 30 per cent of the $250,000 paid for the TV and movie rights to the match, or $75,000 each. The match, which could last two months, had been uled to start Sunday afternoon, but Fischer stayed in New York, demanding a 30 per cent cut of the gate receipts. The International Chess Federation postponed the first game 48 hours and told Fischer he had to be in Reykjavik by noon today or forfeit the match. He arrived about five hours before the deadline. A stewardess on the plane said Fischer appeared calm during the flight of 4 hours and 40 minutes from New York but slept for only a few minutes at a time.

Another passenger on the flight, Benjamin Rauschkolb of Long Beach, N.Y., angrily reported that his wife was told at the last minute she couldn't board the plane and he learned later she was bumped to make room for Fischer. "He's causing an awful lot of trouble, isn't he?" said Rauschkolb. Pay Board (Continued From Page One) limit salary increases to 5.5 per cent in most cases. Charles Owen, commission director, has said "This is the last hurdle in a race begun over four years ago. "If the pay board doesn't look favorably upon a 15 per cent increase for Kentucky's policemen we will find the federal government blocking a responsible and innovative to reduce crime and improve justice," he said.

The latest bulletin of the crime commission says Gov. Wendell Ford called on the pay board to approve the application, saying the incentive program is designed to improve law enforcement and criminal justice, and is not merely a request for higher salaries. The new law makes the $4.75 million available over the next two years to local government units, for policemen with: -A minimum annual starting salary of $4,350. -A mandatory in-service training course of 40 hours a year. -A high school education or its equivalent for new officers hired after July 1, 1972.

The second car reportedly almost struck the governor's car.

Dunn ordered his driver in pursuit and after a short chase, the teen-aged driver was pulled over to the side of the road. The youth was placed under arrest and transferred to Dunn's car for the ride to McMinnville where Trooper Mason Black met the party at the town square after being summoned on the governor's radio.
