Park refuses
to return
Associated Press Writer
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) —
The South Korean government
tried and failed to persuade
Tongsun Park to return to the
United States, but it cannot
force him to go back, Foreign
Minister Park Tong-jin told a
news conference today.
The minister said his govern
ment at Washington’s request
urged the wealthy South Korean
businessman and rice dealer to
return voluntarily to
Washington, where he has been
indicted on charges of attempt
ing to bribe members of the U.S.
Congress. But Park made clear
that he has no intention of going
to the United States, the foreign
minister said.
The minister insisted that his
government is cooperating as
much as it can with American
efforts to investigate Park. But
he said his government cannot
go beyond the limits of inter
national law, established diplo
matic practice and South Ko
rean law.
The South Korean govern
ment has repeatedly denied that
it had any connection with
Park’s activities or that he was
its agent trying to influence
members of Congress to sup
port legislation favorable to it.
The foreign minister contended
today that the case against
Park involved only his personal
activities as a rice dealer.
The U.S. State Department
said on Wednesday that it was
trying through diplomatic chan
nels to get the South Korean
government to return Park to
Washington to face trial. But

there is no extradition treaty
between the United States and
South Korea, and Park told a
news conference on Aug. 24 he
would not permit American in
vestigators to question him. He
also denied the charges against
him.
The foreign minister's tone
was considerably more con
ciliatory today than it was in
comments reported earlier by
the Hapdong news agency.
Hapdong reported that on re
turning Wednesday night from
a meeting in Tokyo, he said: “It
is up to Tongsun Park to decide
whether he should go back to
America and it is none of our
business. As a fully sovereign
and law-governed nation, Korea
finds no ground or reason to
turn over its national merely on
the ground that he is suspected
of having violated foreign law.”
AP corrects
statement
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Associated Press incorrectly
reported that the indictment of
Tongsun Park stated that Rep.
Walter Flowers, D-Ala., alleg
edly received a “pro-Korea
statement” from Park to sub
mit to a House subcommittee.
The indictment says Flowers
allegedly received the state
ment from then-Rep. Richard
T. Hanna, named in the in
dictment as an unindicted co
conspirator.

MIAMI (AP) - A tropical

come a tropical storm today,
weather forecasters say.

Ft. Benning
might get
new division
WASHINGTON (AP) - Fort
Benning, Ga., is under consid
eration as the new location for
the second infantry division
when the division is deployed
from Korea to the United
States, the Army announced
Wednesday.
The Army said it plans to
reorganize the division as a
mechanized infantry division
composed of two active army
brigades and one reserve com
ponent brigade.
President Carter has said he
plans to reduce U.S. forces in
Korea in the future.
If the division is stationed at
one base, the Army said, it
would be stationed at either
Fort Benning; Fort Bliss,
Texas, or Fort Drum, N.Y.
and it may become a tropical
storm within the next 12 hours,”
forecaster John Hope said late
Wednesday at the National
Hurricane Center in Miami.
At 10:30 p.m. EDT, the de
pression had a broad center es
timated to be about 250 miles
east of Cape Hatteras and was
moving east-northeast at 12
m.p.h. This was expected to
move the depression’s center
away from the coast.

Presley family wants
to move singer’s body
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -
Elvis Presley’s family wants to
move the bodies of the singer
and his mother to a garden at
Graceland Mansion.
D. Beecher Smith 11, an at
torney for the family, submitted
a request Wednesday to the
Board of Adjustment for an
exception or variation to the
residential zoning of the sing
er’s 13-acre estate.
A variation would be required
before the bodies could be
moved from the mausoleum at
Forest Hill Cemetery to the
Meditation Garden on the man
sion grounds. The cemetery is
about three miles north of
Graceland.
Smith said in a letter the
board should grant an exception
Coke, Arabs
sign pact
ATLANTA (AP) - Arab na
tions may agree to take the
Coca-Cola Co. off their blacklist
in return for investment in the
Middle East’s citrus industry,
but the move will not affect the
soft drink firm’s business in Is
rael, company officials said
Wednesday.
Coca Cola and the Arabs have
signed an agreement to form a
joint venture through which a
SSO million investment will be
made in the ailing Arab citrus
industry.
The Atlanta-based company
was one of a number of U.S.
firms blacklisted by the Arabs
following the 1967 Arab-Israeli
war.
“We are hopeful the boycott
against us will be lifted,” said
company spokesman Carlton
Curtis.
Curtis emphasized, however,
that the agreement with the
Arabs does not signal an end to
the company’s ties with Israel.

because it is impossible to
provide adequate security for
the bodies at Forest Hill. Smith
said the cost to the family of
providing security at the
cemetery is about S2OO a day.
The 42-year-old singer, who
died Aug. 16 after an apparent
heart attack, was entombed two
days after his death. The body
of his mother, Gladys Love
Presley, was moved from a
grave in the cemetery to the
mausoleum after her son’s body
was placed there. Mrs. Presley
died Aug. 14, 1958.
The application sought per

Eleven days after Presley’s
coffin was sealed in its crypt,
three men were arrested near
the cemetery and charged with
trespassing. Police officials
said they had received a tip the
body would be stolen and held
for ransom.
Police Director E. Winslow
Chapman later called the
scheme a hoax, but a man
identified as a police informant
maintains the body was to be
held for $lO million ransom.
