Korean ice'-Presidency Totters as Chang Resigns 'U. Prediet Rhee May Dump Successor Expected To Decline Elected Office Soon SEOUL (-South Korea's lame duck, Vice President John H. Chang resigned today and Lee Ki- Poong, the man who unseated him in the controversial March 15 election, said he might step down too. Lee would have succeeded Chang Aug. 15 under President Syngman Rhee. '7 am considering relinquishing the vice presidency-elect," said Lee. His statement came shortly after Chang, leader of the oppo- sition Democratic Party, quit his post with a bitter blast at the Rhee government. Resignation Demanded Lee's resignation had been de- manded by the opposition since the March elections. It had been expected he might be dropped as a step by Rhee to meet the strong pressure on his government. That pressure boiled up into near revolt last Tuesday with demonstrations that were climax- ed in bloodshed in Seoul. The resignation of Chang came as a surprise. Ring Warning Bells Chang said the purpose of his move was to "ring warning bells to the Syngman Rhee government, which is drunk with power and continuing tyrannical, oppressive rule. Chang, 60 year old, head of the opposition Democratic Party, has been virtually ignored by Rhee during his term of office. Chang announced his resigna- tion as the man who defeated himu in the disputed March 15 elections -Lee Ki Poong-also was reported planning to step down. In South Korea the president and vice pres- ident can be of different parties. May Oppose Rhee Chang's move put him in an ex- cellent position to oppose Rhee for the presidency if Rhee should yield to demands that both the presidential and vice presidential elections be held again. All indications were that Rhee hoped to appease outraged public opinion by easing out Lee in a maneuver that would mean only a new vice presidential election. Chang defeated Lee, Rhee's pro- tege, in 1956, but lost the same race last month. Charges that the election was rigged with stuffed ballot boxes and police coercion led to the bloody uprising in Seoul Tuesday in which at least 125 and perhaps up to 200 were killed. - Expect Lee's Ouster A former premier indicated last night he expects Rhee to drop Lee as a step toward easing South Korea's grave internal crisis, That would necessitate a new election. While 10,000 students staged new-but this time mostly peace- ful-demonstrations in the port city of Inchon yesterday, the 85- - year-old Rhee was reported about ready to make an announcement. Lee is a main target of student and popular indignation. Kennedy Says 'Ask People For Backing' PORTLAND, Ore. W) - Sen. John F. Kennedy opened a two- day sweep of Oregon yesterday, hammering on the theme that a candidate for nomination ought to ask the people for their backing. It was a direct attack on Sens. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas and Stuart Symington of Missouri. Both have said they will accept the Democratic presidential nom- ination, but neither had entered a primary until now. They are in Oregon's, by law. Under Oregon law, all candidates are entered. What happens in Oregon's May 20 primary, Ken- nedy said, may be significant. It is the last vote of the people before the Democratic National Convention, and the first in which all candidates have been thrust. NO ENDORSEMENT: Rockefeller Praises Nixon O PHILADELPHIA (P)-Gov. Nel- son A. Rockefeller of New York heaped high and unusual praise on Vice-President Richard M. Nix- on yesterday. He gave him everything but what the Vice-President probably wants the most-Rockefeller sup- port in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination. Few candidates -- and Nixon now seems a shoo-in - ever got more kindly treatment. Good Fellow "Dick Nixon has been a very good friend of mine for many years," Rockefeller said. "He has done an absolutely superb job as1 Vice-President." But once again he stubbornly refused to endorse Nixon. He'll wait he said, until after the con- vention. Rockefeller was here for a major foreign policy 'speech before the World Affairs Council of Philadel- phia. Solemn Talk It was a solemn, lengthy talk in which he called for more dynamic and imaginative thinking if this country is to save itself from, disaster. One suggestion: an economic union of North and South Ameri- ca-an area which will have a bil- lion population by the year 2000. But domestic politics claimed most of the interest at his news conference. Rockefeller began it with his voluntary praise of Nixon, by far the strongest words he has used in recent months. '1/ Johnson Set\ On Seeking Presidency HOUSTON, Tex. (P)-Sen. Lyn- don B. Johnson (D-Tex.) moved closer yesterday to the moment when he will join fellow Senators in admitted quest of the Demo- cratic presidential nomination. Johnson almost did it here Thursday and it was plain to all present at a news conference that the Senate Majority Leader will be-and is--a candidate for the presidency. "I have served my country in every capacity in which I have been asked to serve," the reluctant Texan said. "I would not shirk my' responsibility." Repeats Declaration "I repeat what I said before," he added when pressed as to whether he would accept the nomi- nation. "That is what I think I should say at this time. "My name will be placed in nomination and I am highly hon- ored. But my job is in the Senate, and that is what I intend to do- period." Johnson, when the moment he deems proper arrives, will join fel- low Sens. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), John Kennedy (D-Mass.), Stuart Symington (D-Mo.), and Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.) in the drive for the Democratic standard bear- er's position. Some observers be- lieve he will have at least 450 delegates lined up for the conven- tion's first ballot. Wants Chairmanship On Feb. 6, in Indianapolis, John- son told newsmen he expected to be chairman of the Texas delega- tion at the Los Angeles conven- tion, "and I hope it will be com- mitted to the support of my candi- dacy," he added. He spoke again yesterday- in Denver, and some supporters be- lieved he might have announced' his decision there since he has tried in recent months to align himself strongly with the West. Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.), long his advisor in Congress, launched a Johnson-for-President campaign in Texas several months ago.

Phone NO 2-4786 for Michigan Daily Classified Ads Hope Forlorn But for those supporters who still cling to a forlorn hope that somehow Rockefeller may yet pull the political upset of the century and win the nomination, he had chilling words. "I am not a candidate," he said, "nor will I be." Rockefeller's speech was a long look at the future, and a call for action. "In the revolutionary times through which we pass," he said, "we shall be the creators of cir- cumstances-or we shall be its victims." Rockefeller's theme: UrgTes )Press Cooperation WASHINGTON (A')- Adlai E. Stevenson said yesterday "if the people are complacent and uncon- cerned about the good health of. our system the press must share the blame." The titular head of the Demo- cratic Party added in an address prepared for a meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors: "I am not concerned with the Republican partisanship of the press, but I am profoundly con- cerned with its respect for the party system and its obligation to help make it work effectively." Stevenson said that "the gov- ernment, the ins, must be meas- ured by the same standards of responsibility as the opposition, the outs, and the press must call 'em as it sees 'em, not as it would like to see 'em." "Large sections of opinion are skeptical of polticians and politi- cal opposition needs to be rein- forced about specific evils or vir- tues. I am even going to resist any temptation to berate you for un- equal treatment of Republicans and Democrats in the news. "Nor will I mention your ill- concealed zeal at certain sacrificial festivals in recent years. Instead I just want to exploit today's mood of mutual forgiveness and charity by reminding you that a respon- sible press can be a great help to the opposition by giving it an adequate hearing." Stevenson, twice defeated as the Democratic presidential nominee, added that "if responsible news reporting is essential to an effec- tive opposition, an irresponsible or, frivolous press obstructs the sys- tem and dvierts the public."
