A crowd of a few hundred students tned to break into the vice president home, and gun fire broke out. Apparently the shots we re blanks, fired either by the soldiers enforcing martial law or the police. Several persons were injured in this dash A report that three demonstrations had been killed was distributed by the Hapdong News Agency, but withdrawn later.

Hapdong said the information was not borne out, Seoul was placed under second degree martial during the day, but full martial law was reinstated tonight. Soldiers with gas masks and fixed bayonets fired tear gas into one crowd of 5.000 students and civilians led by 200 middle aged college professors who marched on the National Assembly building. The crowd called for the resignation of Rhee, all Supreme Court justices and all members of the Assembly It fell back, apparently stunned, when the soldiers used tear gas. Most seemed to have believed the soldiers were on their side. Three medium tanks rumbled into the streets, guns trained on the demonstrators.

The renewed demonstrations in effect were a noisy popular rejection of President Rhee plans to bring political peace to South Korea. Rhee has promised to run ihe country as a nonpartisan president, surrendering his leadership of the Liberal party, but he showed no inclination to give up his autocratic powers He is under heavy criticism for failing to call new elections. Hours after the march began to the Assembly building, more than 2,000 remained massed in the area, guarded by cordon of about 300 infantrymen In the distance, tanks could be seen blocking the streets toward the Capitol and presidential palace.
