Korea KWANGJU, South Korea (AP)-Tens of thousands of anti-government demonstrators, some armed with automatic rifles and light machine guns, clashed with soldiers and riot police in this provincial capital yesterday. Witnesses said 11 persons were killed, raising the toll to at least 24 dead and 300 wounded in four days of fighting. The witnesses said nearly all hospitals in the city were overflowing with casualties, but most hospitals are government-run and officials refused Daily Photo by JIM KRUZ Polarized panorama Volunteer Carl Berger demonstrated a polarized light box, just one of several portable exhibits currently on display in Rackham Assembly Hall.

MOST POLICE and soldiers with- drew from Kwangju last night, and demonstrators took almost complete control of the city, 150 miles south of Seoul. Thousands of paratroopers and police ringed the city early this mor- ning, but did not try to retake it. Only a few pockets of soldiers remained in- side the city. In Seoul, the nation's military leaders called on the demonstrators to end their protests and named retired Maj. Gen. Park Choong-hoon, head of the Korea Traders Association, as prime minister. Park replaced Shin Hyon- kwack, who accepted responsibility for last week's bloody riots in Seoul and five other cities and resigned Tuesday with the rest of the former cabinet. President Choi Kyu-hah sent Park and other new ministers to Kwangju, a city of about 800,000. GEN. LEE HEE-SUNG, the martial law commander, told South Koreans in a nationally broadcast statement that soldiers would act in their own defense. The martial law command said the protesters here had more than 3,500 weapons, including light machine guns, M-16 rifles, M-1 carbines and revolvers, and 46,000 rounds of am- munition-taken in raids on several armories. They also had comman- deered four armored personnel vehicles, eight riot control vehicles with tear gas launchers, and 220 other vehicles, the command said. Two television stations, 21 police sub- stations, and 13 government buildings were destroyed or severely damaged, it said. THE COMMAND said two light machine guns set up on top of the Ch- onnam University's hospital fired on troops. Witnesses said soldiers fired on demonstrators who tried to use buses and at least one armored personnel carrier to attack the provincial gover- nmerit buildhig. See 15,0, Page 10 WASHINGTON (AP)-House and Senate negotiators tentatively agreed yesterday on a $613.3 billion balanced 1981 budget, but its hefty defense in- crease angered some liberal-to- moderate Democrats, who vowed to fight it on the House floor. On a 10-6 vote, the House conferees accepted a Senate offer of $153.7 billion for defense, nearly a $20 billion in- crease over current-year spending. The increase was partly paid for by social program cuts in fiscal 1981, which star- ts Oct. 1. FIVE LIBERAL and moderate Democrats opposed the compromise, claiming it undermined efforts to spread the cuts needed to balance the federal budget for the first time in 12 years. One conservative Republican also opposed the compromise. "We lost the balanced approach that I feel-is absolutely essential to achieve a balanced budget," said Rep. Leon Panetta (D-Calif.), one of the dissen- ters. Rep. Richard Gephard (D-Mo.), another opponent, said he objected to the increase in the overall 1981 spen- ding level that went above both the House and Senate versions largely to accommodate the higher defense figure. THE COMPROMISE defense amount was $5.8 billion above the House- approved amount of $147.9 billion and a drop of $2 billion from the Senate figure of $155.7 billion. President Carter' requested $150.5 billion in 1981 military outlays. The agreement also set 1981 revenues at $613.8 billion and projected a $500 million surplus. Final details remained to be worked out last night before the package can be sent to the full House and Senate, probably by the middle of next week. THE HOUSE PASSED a $611.8 billion budget with a $2 billion surplus. The Senate favored a $613.1 billion package that was balanced by using $100 million from Carter's 10-cent-a- gallon gasoline fee, which was later struck down by a federal court. The conference agreement, despite strong Democratic opposition, ap- parently left the fate of the budget in the House up to Republicans who voted overwhelmingly against the 1981 budget when it wes approved earlier this month. Rep. Barber Conable (R-N.Y.) said, however, that despite earlier in- dications that House Republicans had "bailed out" on the budget, "we're not bailing back in," attracted largely by the higher defense figure.
