The hot lina will be used to continue the dialogue and to deal with any aporadie border incidents before they can develop Into major conflicts. In the meantime, however, Mr. Lea requeated that U. S.

Forces now in South Korea, numbering about 40,000, be retained during the course of the future talks. He pointed out that "Dialogue itself does not mean peace. It is only a means to achieve peace. The North-South dialogue will be very difficult, much more difficult than any other dialogues in world history. Therefore, continued all-out efforts for our national security are required to back up this dialogue." The announcement of the tentative agreement was greeted with satisfaction snd commendation in Washington.

And the United Nations Commission for Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea, also hailed the dramatic breakthrough for improved relations between the two Koreaa. The Commission described it as "of a substantially great scope and significance. The negotiations are consistent with U. S. policy in Korea.

Initial steps to bring about a peaceful unification of North and South Korea hav been revealed following a aeriea of aecret talka between heada of both government. The first action to thi end ha been tha inatallation of a telephone "hot lina between Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and Pyongyang, the northern capital. The peace talka were conducted without publicity between Lee Hu Rak, head of the Central Intelligence Agency In Seoul and Kib Young Ju, director of the Organization and Guidance Department of the North Korean Worker Communist Party in Pyongyang, The conference were conducted during May and June and have now been revealed in a Joint communique which took the people of both nation by surprise. The announcement indicated that there would be further meetings to deal with North-South problems. In making the announcement, Mr.

WIFFt.Y ADVICE Mrs. Hubert Humphrey telephoned her husband the other day about his bruising camoalgn aealnst George McGovern.

"But when Ks ell over, we must talk to the McGoverns and get together wjh them. Not long afterward. Humnhrey took McGovern aside for a few frank friendly words. "Vou mav feel that Ive roughed vou no on these Issues, said Humphrey, "but my statements will look kindly compared to what Nixon and his people will say. Humphrey suggested was better for McGovern to have his views challenged now, so he could clarify them before meeting President Nixon in the finale.

When this Is over, If you win the nomination, said Humphrey, you wont have to reach out. Ill be there." The Wav I See It Letters to the Editor readers who cant distinguish a rook from a pawn. Boxing ballyhoo accomplished the same purpose making fans out of people who rarely gave the sport a second thought. We may well be barking up the wrong tree. Perhapa Fischer is a temperamental individual whose streaks of unpredictability have nothing to do with promoting the chess match.

Perhaps Spassky reacted out of pure anger not out of a sense of adding more suspense to the proceedings that eventually may get under way in Iceland. But it' is true that the names of Spassky are becoming household words and people whose Interest stops at checkers are following xfcorld chess match developments with some concern. A sort of carnival atmosphere has been added to a game normally conducted with dignity and decorum. And the ghosts of such as Mike Jacobs must be chuckling over the manner in which the game of chess has moved from the Inside pages to the front pages of newspapers. Many a venerable fight promoter can appreciate the ballyhoo attending the world chess match pitting Bobby Fischer of the United States against Russiai Boris Spassky.

Chess is a game usually relegated to the deep innards of a newspaper if at all. But Fischers alleged temper tantrums and Spasskys claim that he has been suited have contrived to make Page 1 news out of their meeting for the world title. Fight promoters of yore invented grudge matches, ethnic confrontations and other dodges to build up interest in a boxing contest. One that comes readily to mind is the sjzzler released to the press that the champion was knocked down by a sparring partner during a training camp session. This piece of information was designed to make the 50-1 underdog look like a world-beater.

It helped if the challenger had met and soundly defeated the champions sparring partner at some prior date. The Flsher-Spassky gyrations have captured the imagination of newspaper and pray that they will get it now. I mean big help from the state and federal government, especially federal.

The New York State Lottery Commission estimates that a grand prize winner between one and five years old could win a lifetime total of $3.5 million and an adult between 35 and 40 about $2 million. If the winner does not live long enough to collect $1 million, the remainder will go to his or her estate.

But the United States and France, under a cooperative agreement, intend to assign three deep-submergence vehicles to the task of charting the uncharted depths. The mission is not exploration for the sake of exploring. The planned descents IJ is, in some instances it may be justified. My endorsement of the Supreme Court decision lies primarily In the fact that capital punishment has been administered discriminatorily. The statistics make clear that It has been a punishment overwhelmingly reserved for poor blacks.

Some of the justices acknowledged as much. Justice Potter Stewart, for example, concurred with the majority on the grounds that the victims were a capriciously selected random handful of all those who commit capital crimes. But, to me, the decision has implications which go far. beyond the immediate question. For a majority of the court consider capital punishment "cruel and unusual, possibly say of the nations prison system? This is a category of punishment which, inevitably, turns men into animals.

It teaches them, If they will survive, to he and cheat, fawn and bully, cringe and hate. That three out of four who are released go back within a few years demonstrates that it destroys all potential for a normal life. If that is not "cruel and unusual punishment, then what is? We In America pride ourselves In believing that a Tan n0 constituent part of his being -than his body. Systematically, our prisons destroy that spirit. In that sense, imprisonment In our country Is nothing but capital punishment on the Installment plan.

Ironically, prisons began in eighteenth-century America as a humane reaction to such "cruel and unusual punishment as banishment, sequestration of property, indiscriminate execution and, most dramatically, whipping. Institutionally, they came out of the Quaker movement in Phwadelvia, where the belief was strong that, in place of corporal punishment, criminals should be removed temporarily from society to read the Bible and contemplate In Isolation, and thus be led to see the error in their way. Inriprisonment, according to this belief, would renew men by turning them into penitents. So, the word "penitentiary. Tt was a noble notion, based on heart-warming relleiou sentiment.

But. as criminology, ft proved flawed From recent, experiments In psychology, it Is dear that intense solitude and confinement in very small places turn most men not Into oenitents. but Into savages. For 2M) years, have been living with this ignominious, If Inspired, failure. Once, aooiety could ignore the failure, because Its victims were the criminals themselves.

Now, however, some 2 per cent of males over the age of 12 are under correctional supervision. More startling, 400 prisoners ere released Into society day and. tf 300 of them can be expected to return to prison, a lot of innocent citizens are necessarily going to be victimized by crime in the process. I honesdy wonder whether we shouldnt consider return-fog to the old erystem of whipping on the grounds that, painful to the body as may be. It does not destroy Its victim like prison.

might actually be more humane, and might even be better for society. Certainly, we have discovered no surer way to rehabilitate criminals. In our most advanced prisons, we have replaced religion with psvehiatry. penitence with teaching. But they work no discernible magic.

The McGovern high command knew Singer was carrying political dynamite that could demolish chances against President Nixon.
