<p> Early last week everything seemed set for a five-member
North Korean delegation to cross the border and meet with a
South Korean dissident organization to plan a historic
pan-national rally for Aug. 15, the 45th anniversary of
liberation from Japan. But when the five arrived at the border,
they first refused to accept South Korea's choice of a hotel
and then insisted that the dissidents rather than government
representatives escort them at the meeting. At that Seoul
balked. After two days of arguing, the North Koreans returned
home.
</p>
<p> The stubbornness on both sides cast doubt on whether
another, more important meeting would take place. The Prime
Ministers of North and South Korea are scheduled to meet Sept.
4-7 in Seoul. It would be the highest-ranking contact between
the two countries in 42 years. But during preparatory talks
last week, North Korean officials warned that if agreement is
not reached on the rally, plans for the September meeting would
be "gravely affected."
