a PAGE TEN THE HERALD-PALLADIUM, Benton Harbor St. Joseph, Michigan WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1979 Korea General Held After Gunfight Neighbor SEOUL, South Korea (AP)- After a gun battle, South Korea's martial law commander, Gen. Chung Seung-hwa, was detained tonight for questioning in the Oct. 26 assassination of President Park Chung-hee, informed sources said. Secret testimony by Park's admitted assassin apparently implicated Gen.

Chung in the plot to kill the president, the sources said. When a small group of army investigators went to his home tonight to detain Chung, his personal guards resisted and there was an exchange of gunfire, the sources said. Defense security commander Gen. Chun Doo-hwan, who was the chief government investigator of the assassination, sent two Today In MICHIGAN Appointment Protested DETROIT (AP) The daughter of the late Dauris Jackson is protesting the appointment of former Michigan governor and auto executive George Romney to her mother's seat on the Wayne State University board of trustees. Romney is to be be sworn in today, a Wayne State spokesman said.

Gov. William Milliken "disregarded the wishes of the electorate" by appointing Romney to the post, said Llenda Jackson in a letter to Milliken. Milliken succeeded Romney in 1969. Both are Republicans. Dauris Jackson was a Democrat and the first black women trustee of a state university in Michigan.

She died in an automobile accident July 31 with five years left in her seven-year term. "Persons of his (Romney's) ilk are already outrageously overrepresented on statewide boards of education and he is incapable of representing the people my mother represented on that board women, blacks, working people, the part-time and Spanish-speaking students," she said in the letter. Big Rock To Shut Down CHARLEVOIX, Mich. (AP) Consumers Power Co. officials said the Big Rock nuclear power plant will be shut down around the end of the month to allow the utility to install safety equipment required by the federal government.

Consumers engineer Roger Huston said the Nuclear Regulatory Commission required the company to install indicators showing whether safety valves are open or closed in the reactor containment building. In November, Consumers was levied the heaviest fine in NRC history for allowing safety valves to remain open for 18 months at its Palisades nuclear generating plant in South Haven. The company has appealed the $450,000 fine to the NRC. The NRC said the open valves could have caused radioactive gas to escape from the plant had there been an accident similar to the one at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island plant. Huston said the Charlevoix plant will be out of operation for at least 10 days, beginning about Dec.

29. Cross-County Levy Illegal LANSING, Mich. (AP) One county cannot levy a tax to help another county build an addition to its own hospital, the state attorney general has ruled. But Attorney General Frank Kelley said this week that two counties can sign a contract authorizing one county to pay the other for hospital beds it furnishes for the first county's residents. In an opinion addressed to Rep.

Ralph Ostling, R- Roscommon, Kelley said a county cannot give money or property "without receiving consideration." According to Kelley, Antrim County plans to construct an addition to its medical care facility. The county is considering a formal agreement to make 25 beds available to Kalkaska County residents in exchange for financial assistance. While a county cannot levy millage for such a purpose, Kelley said, it can enter into a formal contract to complete the arrangement. Teacher Suspended ALMONT, Mich. (AP) A high school drafting teacher in the Lapeer County community of Almont is under suspension and could be fired because of allegations that he sanctioned arm-punching among students to control unruly behavior.

According to a complaint filed with the school board, one student in Gerald Kralik's class suffered six broken bones in his hand in an arm-punching incident. Kralik allegedly required students being disciplined to do push-ups or be hit in the arm by another student, charges said. Kralik was suspended with pay last week pending a school board hearing. Kralik said the arm-punching was not discipline but "horseplay" involving athletes in the class. Lapeer County social service officials also are investigating an incident i in which an elementary student in the same district collapsed while doing push-ups ordered by Steve Edwards, a science teacher.

The Ford Motor Co. chairman will testify in the California case of a Ford Mustang owner whose legs were crushed in a 1973 accident. Ford's deposition to be taken in Detroit, is considered crucial, said plaintiff's attorney Mark P.
