After weeks of deadlock, delegates from North and South Korea agreed to resume reunions of families separated by the Korean War. Reunions are anticipated to be held from October 30th through November 5th at the Mount Kumgang joint mountain resort area in North Korea.

The police had Quito in their grasp, but no one took charge of the mutiny to convert it into a coup. There was no coup attempt.
