the ek-Turkish rivalry and
said:
"A few dismal commentators

who say the island will 20

hate. 1t could be, but I don't
believe it."
Sir Hugh at the independence
ceremony turned the reins of
government over to the first

SEOUL, Aug. 16 (AP.-
President Yum Po-sun today
nominated his Democratic
Party supporter. Kim Do-yun,
to be the first premier of South
Korea's revolutionary republic.
The House of Representa-

nomination tomorrow.
Mr.. Kim, virtually unknown
politically, was educated in
Japan and the United States.
He served President Syngman
Rhee as Finance Minister be-
fore the Korean War.
Mr.. Kim got a masters de-
gree in economics from Column

sity, Washington, D. c., in 1881.
He landed in a japanese Jail

he then spelled his name) re-
ceived a doctors degree at
the school in 1881 and wrote
his dissertation on economic

He also took a number Of
psychology and philosophy
courses,
Selection of Mr.. Kim dealt
a blow to the hopes of the
nominal leader of the Demo-

John M. Chang.
The Democrats, who turned

split between factions led by
President Yum and Mr.. Kim

the other.
Putting Mr.. Kim's name into
nomination first is expected to
enhance his chances of getting
the post, which combines most
of the powers formerly welded
by Mr.. Rhee.
Should the 66-year-old Kim
fail in his bid, Mr.. Chang's
