chief of South Korea's military
junta, was a member of an
army regiment that revolted
under Communist leadership
in l948, but he was not in
volved in the mutiny, one OF
his top aides said today.
Gen. Parks status at that
time has become an issue in
the campaign for October elec-
tions in which he seeks the
presidency as head of a new
civilian government.
Yum Chi-yung, chairman of
Gen. Parks Democratic Re-
public Party, replied at a cam
paign rally to an opposition
charge that Gen. Park was
sentenced to death for helping
to organize a Communist up
rising, but was let off because
of his talents as a soldier.
Mr.. Yum said Gen. Park left
the regiment two days before
the mutiny broke out in Yosu,
October 2. l948.
Gen. Park addressed the
same rally, but ignored the
charges.
Sitting under a sun shade
in Seoul High School stadium,
Gen. Park listened as Mr. Yune
declared the strongman, then
a relatively junior officer, had
come to Seoul before the re-
bellious l4th regiment went on
a bloody seven-day rampage.
1t was the first time a high
official Of Gen. Parks inner
circle had acknowledged he was
a member Of the regiment.

scoffed at what he said were
