Riots Break Out in South Korea

SEOUL, South Korea, March 22--Antigovernment demonstrations, without precedent in two years of military rule, broke out in five cities today despite a show of force from strong man Gen. Chung Hee Park.

But an array of 150 admirals and generals, some summoned from units theoretically under U.S. control, assembled in Seoul and vowed support of Park and military rule.

Park told the officers he will not waver from his decision that four more years of his regime are needed to save South Korea from tainted politicians.

In Seoul, about 600 marchers shouting antigovernment slogans collided with kicking and shoving police in City Hall Plaza.
