SEOUL (^P) — President Chung

Jury Indicts
UMW Officials
In a surprise move, the former
four-star general dissolved the
National Assembly, suspended
parts of the 1962 constitution
and clamped censorship on the
domestic press. He also closed
colleges and universities “for the
time being.”
ment spokesman Charles W. Bray
said the United States was “not
consulted about the decision and
quite obviously” is “not associated
with it.”
PITTSBURGH <A>)—Two Unit
ed Mine Workers officials were
indicted Tuesday by a federal
grand jury here on conspiracy
charges in the 1969 murder of
UMW insurgent Joseph A. “Jock”
Yablonski.
The indictments charged Wil
liam J. Prater, 53, of LaFollette,
Tenn., and Albert Pass, 58, of
Middlesboro, Ky., with conspiracy
to deprive Yablonski of his rights
under the 1870 Civil Rights Act,
and maintained that the murder
resulted directly from that alleged
conspiracy.
Yablonski and his wife and
daugjhter were found shot to
death in their nearby Claresville
farmhouse Dec. 31, 1969, three
weeks after Yablonski lost a bit
terly fought election to incum
bent W. A. “Tony” Boyle for
the union’s presidency.
Both Prater and Pass are in
federal custody here in lieu of
$200,000 bond each.
He promised to restore con
stitutional rule by the end of the
year “at the latest.” It was the
third time he has proclaimed mar
tial law since he took power in a
bloodless military coup 11 years
ago.
In Washington, State Depart-
Addressing the nation by radio,
Park said he would propose con
stitutional changes by Oct. 27 and
submit them to a referendum a
month later. The changes, he
said, would permit South Korea
to face the transition from years
of cold war to the present atmos
phere of detente which includes
moves toward reunification with
North Korea.
Park said his measures would
bring South Korea into line with
present-day realities and “would
be best suited for backing up the
active pursuit of the South-North
dialogue and for coping success
fully with the rapidly changing
situation surrounding us.”
ation” includes recent moves to
ward rapprochement with Com
munist China by the United States
and Japan.

After a quarter-century of hos

ful reunification and avoid ten

agreement followed secret con
