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.

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. 1/1 £{| ¥£ It i ** - Scattered loot COLUMBIA, S.

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.
