THE NEWS in brief
PANMUNJOM, Korea
Leaders optimistic that July summit will ease tensions
North and South Korea agreed yesterday to hold their first summit in another hopeful sign for efforts to ease nuclear tensions and end five decades of bitter animosity.
But with a history of accords whitted away by disputes over their implementation and of failure to hold previously proposed summits, there was no guarantee the presidents of the two nations would actually meet.
Still, hopes were high. For the first time, the rivals set a date for a summit — July 25-27, in Pyongyang, North Korea's capital.
"If the summit goes well, relations between South and North Korea will enter a new stage," said South Korea's chief negotiator, Lee Hong-koo.
Negotiators agreed the meeting of northern President Kim Il-Sung and southern President Kim Young-sam would be followed by a second summit in South Korea, but no date or place was agreed upon.
South Korea hopes to focus the summit on suspicions that North Korea is working on nuclear weapons. But it is unclear whether the communist regime, which says its nuclear research is peaceful, will agree.
Nevertheless, optimism soared in South Korea.
My heart is throbbing with excitement, said Lee Yong-ho, 68, who escaped from the north to South Korea during the 1950-53 Korean War. "I really hope that the summit will help ease tensions so that divided families in the two Koreas can be reunited."
North Korea insists the nuclear issue can be
resolved only in direct talks with the United States, which are due to restart in Geneva on July 8.
In Washington, Assistant Secretary of State Robert Gallucci, who is to represent the Clinton administration in Geneva, briefed the House Foreign Relations Committee behind closed doors Tuesday. He declined to talk to reporters afterward.
In the past, the North Koreans have agreed to allow U.N. inspectors to check its nuclear facilities as required under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, but it has refused to allow full inspections for 15 months.
North Korea's noncompliance heightened worries that the North was rushing to produce nuclear warheads and brought threats of U.N. sanctions.
Washington has said it would improve diplomatic relations and extend aid if North Korea cooperates in resolving concerns about its nuclear program.
Gas explosion blasts mill
INDIANAPOLIS
A fiery chemical explosion rocked an agricultural feed mill early yesterday, injuring at least 11 people, some with serious burns.
The 12:30 a.m. blast was felt five miles away and ruptured a tank of soybean oil, which caught fire and burned for about three hours.
Three people were hospitalized in critical condition, two were hospitalized in stable condition, and six were treated and released.
The explosion happened during a transfer of the chemical hexane between two tanks, firefighters said. Some of the volatile hydrocarbon leaked and vapor from the spill was touched off by a spark or other means.
"One of the theories is that an automobile may have driven through the (hexane) gas," said Lt. John Gammon of the city fire department. "At this time, we can't confirm it because we're looking at all possible sources."
A car was found blown to the side of the road and its driver was one of those in critical condition, Gammon said. The injured included nearby residents, as well as workers.
James Cowherd, who lives across the street from the plant, said he and his wife were walking nearby when they noticed a white cloud along the ground.
"I looked around, and I saw the fire," he said. "I said, 'Get down, because it's getting ready to blow.' We lay there and our bodies were just shaking on the ground."
MANILA, Philippines
Actors charged with fraud
Authorities charged seven people with crimes yesterday in connection with a film festival that named the wrong best actor and actress.
"Crime does not pay," Mayor Alfredo Lim told reporters. "No matter what position they have in society, they have to face the consequences of their acts."
The bizarre saga began last Wednesday when Ruffa Gutierrez and co-star Gabby Concepcion were named Best Actor and Best Actress at the Manila Film Festival.
But the auditing firm which tabulated ballots said the real winners were actress Aiko Melendez and actor Edu Manzano.
After civilian and police inquiries, seven people including Gutierrez and Concepcion were charged with fraud and other crimes.
Manila theater owners agreed to remove films featuring Concepcion and Gutierrez until the case is resolved, said Manuel Nuqui, president of Philippine Motion Pictures Inc.
Nearly all figures in the scandal are foreigners and could lose work permits if convicted.
