Plan Dropped to Prosecute Chang
TOKYO—(UFI)—The Republic of Korea Military regime probably will drop its plan to prosecute former premier John M. Chang and release him from house arrest before strongman Gen. Park Chung Hee leaves for the United States, according to well-informed sources in Seoul.
Sources said the one reason Park is hesitating is he fears if he releases Chang before his trip to the United States, some quarters might charge he is attempting to curry favor in Washington.
CHANG WAS TAKEN into custody shortly after the military seized power May 16 in a near-bloodless coup and has been held under house arrest ever since.
Informed sources said the announcement most likely would be made before Park, 44-year-old leader of the military junta, leaves for the United States Nov. 11 for talks with president Kennedy and other high officials.
There also was the possibility the junta could announce some form of leniency for three newspaperman sentenced to death after their conviction of pro-communist activities. There has been a great deal of international pressure brought to bear on the junta over the death sentences.
IT IS KNOWN that the Junta is having second thoughts about its strict campaign against persons accused of "anti-state activities." Hundreds have been jailed and several death sentences handed out.
The feeling was that this campaign was giving the new regime a black mark in the eyes of the rest of the world and that some softening of the policy was needed.
Chang never was charged with specific crimes or indicted. The junta announced after his arrest that he would be investigated, and, if the investigation warranted it, would be prosecuted.
PARK WAS KNOWN to be pondering the timing of Chang's release.
He did not want to give the impression he was taking the action on the eve of his departure for the U.S.
However, if he waited until his return from Washington to release Chang, he would give the impression that the release was made under U.S. pressure.
Chang became premier after the students' revolution overthrew president Syngman Rhee in April 1960.
FOR A WHILE there was great hope that the pro-Western premier could bring his troubled nation out of the economic and political chaos into which it had fallen.
Chang's government never got off the ground, however, mainly because of inter-party bickering, and conditions grew worse in the country. This resulted in the military coup.

KU-Y Deadlocks On Civil Rights
The KU-Y cabinet discussed its stand on civil rights last night, but came to no conclusion.

Tom Moore, KU-Y adviser, said the question in discussion is a matter of the cabinet's declaring how it feels about race relations and how far it is willing to go in achieving equal rights.
The motion to vote on a stand was tabled. The cabinet then selected a committee headed by Carl Peck, Concordia sophomore, to draw up a proposal that will be a basis for further discussion.
NEW YORK—(UPI) The older group in the population has had a very rapid growth, the Bureau of the Census reports.
Aging Up
Between 1850 and 1930, when the population of the nation increased by 18.5 per cent, the number of persons over 65 increased by nearly 35 per cent. Their rate of increase was only slightly below that for the persons at the other end of the age scale, children under 15.

Varied Opinions Given On Fallout Shelters
"Do you think it is a good idea for the American people to build bomb shelters? Why or why not?" In a recent opinion poll, KU students interviewed gave varying reactions.
Jerry Work, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said, "No, they should concentrate their efforts on trying to save things instead of destroying them. If the world is going to be destroyed by nuclear warfare, I would rather not be around to see the results."
Robert Van Norman, Muncie senior;
"I think in view of the world situation as it is, with the future in doubt, that it is not unwise. I personally would not build one, but I certainly don't see why other people shouldn't."
MARILYN MITCHELL. New Orleans. La., sophomore:
"Yes, because I think it is a psychological factor. It gives the people a sense of being prepared even though they may not be. It makes the people more secure."
ELAINE HAINEY, Kansas City senior:
"Yes, with the experiments that the Russians are doing, it is necessary and the time will come when we will realize it. I hope we are not too late."
