U. S. promoting
three- part- y talks
with both Koreas
SEOUL The United States and
South Korea will issue a joint call today
for three- wa- y talks with North Korea in
a major new effort to reduce tension on
this divided peninsula, diplomatic
sources said here Saturday
II North Korea agrees to participate
and officials here think there is at
least a 50- 5- 0 chance mat it will talks
on the ambassadorial level could begin
in about two months. President Carter
would name a special representative to
participate in the talks on behalf of the
United States.
A ate for the discussions remains to
be selected, but it probably would be in
a third country away from the
polemics and pyrotechnics mat have
surrounded the inconclusive armistice
discussions at Pamunjom. One possible
ate officials here sad would be the
United Nations headquarters m New
York.
The proposed talks, which represent
a major new dsplomatir initiative for
the Carter administration, win be
aimed first at reducing the tension
between the to Koreas and. even-tually,
at unification of the divided
country
The initial objectives ar likely to oe
more modest, however such as
procedures for the reuniting of families
and movement back and forth across
the demilitarized zone
Nonetheless, with the United States
participating Lne would be She first
such full- sca- le political talks between
the two Koreas in more than 25 years
Carter discussed the idea for the
three- wa- y talks at length Saturda with
South Korean President Park Chung
Hee during the first formal meeting of
their two- da- v sumxiat conference here
Park reportedly dropped his long-standing
oppoahon to the concept of
three- side- d discussion after Carter
assured bee, sagds& salfr taat the
United States would be a fall partner m
the talks and would not allow them to
become a forum for separate
negotiations towards normalization of
relations between Washington and
Pyongyang This fear has caused Seoul
to oppose three- wa- y talks in the past.
North Korea has resisted them as
well hoping instead to draw the United
States into bilateral discusaons that
would effectively isolate the South
Korean government, which they have
never recognized.
Carter and Park discussed con-tinued
efforts by North Korea to
acquire a military preponderance" on
the Korean peninsula, and wavs to
reduce tensions. White House Press
Secretary Jody Powell said.
Korean security has been a major
issue between the two allies since
Carter announced his intention to
withdraw all 30 000 American combat
troops from South Korea
Although American officials insist
that mere is no coanecfesn between the
South Korean agreemert to participate
in the talks and the troop withdraw!
issue it seems clear mat successful
negotiations between the two Koreas
would reduce the tension on the
peninsula and make it possible for
Carter to precede with his pull- o- ut
plans.
The North Koreans have sent a
number of signals in recent months that
seem to indicate a softening of then
position A Pyongyang government
official recently said that ' at a certain
stage in the slaters! discussions
( United States- Nort- h Korea) South
Korea could jam in a statement
officials regard as a partial but
significant shift in the Norm Korean
position
The North Koreans also gave visas to
a few American correspondents earlier
this vsar and admitted an American
ping- pon- g team to an international
tournev there Both moves were in-terpreted
in Washington as an ex-pression
of North Korean desire for
greater contact, in sd& toso, when U. N
Secretary General Kurt Waldheim was
m Pyongyang a few weeks ago,
government officials there spoke to hnn

Cambodian refugee relates trials of escape
NewYorkTsmes
NEWYORK On Mav 13 a former Cambodian
schoolteacher escaped cer the border into
Thailand. Within hours he was caught by Thai
officials and taken to Taphva a camp of some
2,000 refugees Two weeks later. Thai soldiers,
asserting that they were taking the refugees to
waiting airplanes that would take them to
freedom, buse4 h Cambodians back to the
border and, firing shots at the reluctant ones,
herded them down a steep mountain to the thick
jungle valley that is the Cambodian frontier
Recalled it the Valley of Hell, the Cambodian

arnved in this country to recount the story of their
escape They are here to plead for help for the
thousands of Cambodians who are caught between

ana a neighboring country Thailand where they
are not welcome
The 34- year- - oi schoolteacher calls himself

Woman raped; not same assailant, police say
ByMSkeMansur
SQsseortx? staff writer
S The rape of a 20- year- o- ld woman
1 occurred Saturday morning after the
I woman had accepted a nde to her home
i m Woodstock Trailer Court, just
a southeast of Columbia. This was the
jl nurd reported rape in the Columbui
I area in three days and the fifth mhttle
I morethan a week.
8 Boone County Sheriff Charlie Foster
1 said he does not thmk the man is the
j same one being sought by aty police in
connection with rapes which took place
I on June 28 and 29
a " It's possible it's the same person,"
Foster said, but I don t believe it is
This is an entirely different situation.
In the latest rape, the sheriffs
department is seeking a 25-- to 27- vear-- okl
black male who is reported to be &
feet to 6- fe- et. 2- mc- hes ( 2-- to 2.1- mete- rs)
tall, 200 pounds ( SO kilograms and
wearing white pants and a light- colore- d
shirt.
Sheriffs deputies also are looking for
arwhite male, described as in his late
20s or early 30s, in connection with a
June 17 rape winch took place in
northern Boone County Foster said
that three or four suspects had been
questioned, but no arrests have been
made
Columbia pohce also are locking for a
man who may be responsible for four
rapes in the aty since June 22.
The victim of the June 29 rape
described her attacker as 5- fe- et, 11- mcf- aes
( IJmeters) tsU and weighing
170 pounds ( 76.5 kilograms) The
suspect in the June 28 rape is described
by pohce as about Meet, 8- wc- nes to 6- f- eet
( L. 7- t- o 2- met- ers) tan and 130 to 135
pounds ( 58.5 to 60.8 lnkgrams)
Saturday's suspect is not only
described differently, but unlike the
rapist m the four previous incidents,
there was no forced entry, nor were
weapons or other articles were used.
Saturday's rape, in addition, oc--
curred between 8 ajn. and 8 30 am.
The four previous rapes occurred
between 3 ajn. and 5 am.
Shenff s deputy Dan Bryson who
answered the caU Saturday morning
said the victim was walking home from
work and was made the trailer court
when toe man offered her a ride, saying
he would be glad to take her the rest of
the way ( home) "
The man reportedly was driving a
light- blu- e passenger car
Foster cautioned any females who
intend to walk by themselves,
especially after dark. ' It'd be a lot
cheaper to get a taxi cab," he said.
