Democrats Back To Hair-Pulling In Reform Rift
AP analysis frames fresh Democratic quarrel as a repeat of 1972 split.

December mid term conference faces four reform options, from strict minority participation to near none with Strauss urged to pick sides.

Resignations Sweep Park's Circle After Assassination Attempt
In Seoul 39 of President Park Chung-hee’s top associates resigned after last week’s attack. Park accepted only two: Home Minister Hong Sung-chul and bodyguard chief Park Chong-kyoo, with the rest citing responsibility for security lapses. Park Kyong won was named home minister, and a new presidential protector chief will be named soon. The cabinet and senior officials quit in a customary gesture, while Park retains dictatorial powers. The president’s wife and a teenage girl in attendance were killed. Mrs. Park was buried on Monday.
