The Kennedy administration
has revealed details of a new
welfare program described as
an effort to get needy families
off relief rolls and onto pay
rolls.
Pressing for quick congress
sional action on the program,
Secretary of Welfare Ribicoff
met quietly Monday with the
two Senate and House leaders
who will handle the legislation.
He received general assur-
ances of support.
The new legislation would
supplem m ent administrative
changes Mr.. Ribicoff previously
said he was making in assist
ance programs.
Chairman Mills, Democrat of
Arkansas, of the House Ways
and Means Committee, which
must originate the welfare leg
islation, repeatedly told the
Secretary his group would start
work on it early, probably in
February.
Byrd Agreeable
Chairman Harry F. Byrd,
Democrat of Virginia, of the
Senate Finance Committee, in
whose office the meeting was
held, was understood to have
said the changes in the public
assistance laws appeared ac-
ceptable.
In a memorandum handed to
Senator Byrd, Mr.. Ribicoff said
he gave intensive study to these
laws in his first year in office.

over the government by organ
izing a factional group based
on "provincialism" and other
personal connections.
Chang was calm as his SEN
tence was pronounced. When
families of the defendants
broke into tears however,
Chang glanced about and ap-
peared on the verge of weeping
At one point in the trial he had
testified:
Il regret that my conduct
between May Is and May 16,
when I was caught between
doubts and decisions, caused
impediments to the revolution. "
Commanded Division
A native Of North Korea and
a former schoolteacher, Chang
commanded a division during
the Korean war that suffered
severe losses under attack by
six Communist Chinese Army
corps, but held out.
The two former junta men,
bers given life sentences were
Col. Park Chi-ok, commander
of the paratroop unit that
spearheaded the coup, and Col.
Moon Jai-joon, Army provost
marshal after the coup. Two
former intelligence officers.
Col. Kim n-hwan and Col.
Chung Won-sang, also got life.
Junta revolutionary courts
have tried more than 200 per-
sons so far, and today's sem
tences brought to Is the num-
ber of persons condemned to
death. Seven of these sentences
have been carried out. The
others are awaiting the out
come of appeals.
Accused Spy Ends Life
The military government,
meanwhile, announced the sui
eide of another leading official
accused of conspiring against
it. 1t said Wi Chung yong, At,
director of the Justice Min
istry's prosecution administra-
tion, slashed his throat Decem-
ber "a while under investigation
as a suspected North Korean
spy.
The government information
office said Wi served as a
government prosecutor in the
Communist North Korean re-
gime and received special train
ing there as an underground
agent before crossing into
South Korea two months be-
fore the Korean war broke out.

White House Unveils
New Welfare CONCEPT

What has emerged from this
review" he said, lis a clear
recognition of the fact that
today in 1862 the welfare pro-
gram of 1885 is out-of date.
Born of depression, the orig
inal pioneering welfare legisla-
ton well met the problems Of
that time, but the quarter Of
a century that has passed has
taught Us many new things.
1--WE are not satisfied with
our welfare programs, and there
lis much that can and must be
done to improve them"
Mr.. Ribicoff said a principal
aim OF the changes he is pro-
posing is to rehabilitate needy
families and fit adult mem
bers for jobs.
Changes Specified
The reforms also should make
it easier to deal with any fraud,
he said.
Mr.. Ribicoff announced De-
cember II, he was making 10
administrative changes in the
assistance program, but ne said
that congressional action would
also be necessary.
In his memo to Senator Byrd,
he listed these among his major
legislative proposals:
/. An extension on a perma-
nent basis of the temporary
law enacted last year making
available Federal funds for
children of unemployed fathers.

A GREAT DAY FOR SLEDDERS
Korean Junto Ex-Heod
Doomed as Conspniotor

SEOUL. Jan. 10 (AP).-
Chang Do-young, first titular
head of the junta that toppled
civil rule in South Korea, was
convicted today of plotting
against the military government
he headed. AS expected, the
revolutionary tribunal set up by
his former colleagues sentenced
him to die on the gallows.
Chang, the army chief of staff
at the time of the May coup and
a hero of the Korean war,
agreed only after the coup was
an accomplished fact to head
the ruling junta and take the
country's premiership. Through
out his two months in office the
real power was held by Gen.
Chung Hee Park, the leader of
the coup who replaced Chang as
head of the junta.
Condemned to death with
Chang on similar charges of
counter revolutionary activity
was his former secretary, ex-
Col. Lee Hoi Yung. The five
man tribunal also ordered life
sentences for four defendants,
including two former junta
members; gave prison terms
ranging from S to IS years to
nine persons, and acquitted nine
others.
Appeal Automatic
Death verdicts automatically
go to an appeals court. If upheld
there, they must be reviewed by
Gen. Park.
The revolutionary prosecutor
called Chang "a sly, base op-
portunist" and accused him of
playing both sides of the fence.
He said Chang sent military
police to the Han River bridge
May 16 to block coup forces
from entering Seoul to oust the
elected government of Premier
John M. Chang. After he joined
the junta, the prosecutor

food, Danish designs and Danish
attractions on the islands.
We would be happy to assist res
taurants and hotels desiring to
stress Danish specialties on their
menus--dishes characteristic on
the islands before 1916, and dishes
popular in Denmark today. Frika-
deller might replace hamburgers,
and the Virgin Islands could be-
come the pastry haven of the Ca
ribbean. After all, a vacation is no
time to be counting calories.
The architecture of the Danish
period contributes Importantly
to the attractive appearance of the
Virgin Islands today and the old
street names add to their person
atty and foreign charm. We have
people in Denmark willing to work
with interested groups here in
restoring and preserving existing
landmarks from that period, and
to offer suggestions for retaining
a Danish atmosphere in new con-
struction during your present
growth period.
Danish products have proven

visitors look forward to the great
election of Danish items they
can purchase almost ~duty-free
Using these products in the hotel
and public places would add t

STATEMENT BY
AXEL DESSAU
U. S. Director Of Danish
National Travel Office

In our last visit to the Caribbean
nine years ago, we were over
whelmed by the variety & charm
of this area. Our most interesting
experience was noting the imper-
lance Of difference in the nation
al characteristics of each island--
the French atmosphere of Haiti,
the british traditions preserved in
Jamaica, the Spanish influence
that prevails in Puerto Rico.
These national characteristics
gave each island a personality of
great Importance in its competi-
ton with other islands.
At that time, the Virgin Islands
had economic difficulties. Many of
the historic places we visited were
very interesting but at that time
were not in the finest of shape.
But the islands were certainly
charming and we were impressed
with their possibilities as a vaca-
ton spot. To us Danes the visit
was, of course, an unforgettable
experience.
Since then many things have
happened. The Virgin Islands are
now one of the most popular
tourist attractions in the Carib-
bean--and in Europe, Denmark
has become one of the most popu-
lar countries with visitors from
overseas.
l think you'll agree that the
stamp Danish" is a mark which
certifies quality and creates confis
dence. Equally, it creates conf
dence with many American tour
lists to be on American soil rather
than travelling in areas where po-
litical troubles may occur.
The Virgin Islands are fortunate
in having a cultural background.
which is popular and enjoys good
will today--at the same time under
"Uncle Sam"
AS one tourist to another, you
may agree that now may be an OPP
perfume time for the Virgin Islands
and Denmark to work together in
their common interest and to
their mutual benefit.
