Gen. Chang Do-Young as Premier and junta chieftan.

Pak, an ardent nationalist, has been regarded as the mastermind behind the mili tary coup which overthrew the government of Premier John M. Chang May 16. Although now known as stanch-ly anti-Communist, he once was sentenced to death by a Korean court for collaborating with the Communists. Chang's resignation came as a surprise. A statement read to the press quoted him as saying he was stepping i SfcWWftW Ik I Vs i i 1 1 "I I i r'fiK 'iHk, ifiir -1, iftwn Song Yo-Chan, Pak Chung-Hi, Chang Do-Young down for a man who could "command more confidence" at home and abroad for the tasks of the revolution in the days ahead.

(Korean experts in Tokyo said it appeared Pak had won out over Chang in a power struggle. Chang has been considered a moderate radical. A few hours after Pak took over as chairman of the ruling council it was announced that 40 generals and admirals had been "voluntarily retired to open the way for new and conscientious juniors." Most were command officers during the Korean War. ROK ARMY COL. "Won Chong Yun, official spokesman for the junta, ridiculed reports that Chang had been arrested but admitted he did not know what would happen to him.

The post of Premier went to retired Lt. Gen. (Tiger) Yo Chan, Army Chief of Staff during the 1960 revolt which ousted Sygnman Rhee. The United States Embassy apparently was taken by surprise by the shift, and officials declined comment. American officials in Washington viewed the events as the start of a consolidation of power within the junta.

The appointment of Song as Premier was considered an attempt to maintain good relations with the United States. Song, a big, affable man nicknamed "Tiger" for his battlefield determination, was a favorite of American military, leaders here. He was credited with keeping South Korean troops out of the April, 1960, student revolution that ended in Rhee's downfall. Song later was blamed for rigging pre revolution elections. Then a lieutenant general, he was forced by the civilian regime of John M.

Dearborn's June Ann Ciampa, this year's Drum Majorette of America, tried to save the day by performing tirelessly for more than an hour while photographers snapped pictures and little girls dreamed of following in her footsteps. Miss Ciampa, 18, had brought her students to compete in the contest.

After the show was scheduled to start Gurman asked her if she would perform. THE REGISTRATION of contestants ground on until noon, and a smattering of lunch hour viewers joined the 200 parents and downtown loafers lounging in front of the stage. Gurman and Faver tried to clear off the rest of the stage, but were stymied by some heavy platforms until a city crew arrived to give them a hand. Finally, at 12:32 p.m., the stage was cleared and the twirlers were registered. The recorded music was turned off.

There was a fanfare, a rat-a-tat-tat from the drums, the Danton (O.) "Hiattetts" marched onto the stage and the judges an nounced that the international championship had started.

New British troops were still pouring into Kuwait Monday. IRAQ'S RADIO Baghdad accused Britain of "lmpenaiisc aggression" and of threatening Iraq's safety.

Macmillan said he had evidence that Iraqi troops definitely were ready to invade Kuwait and were halted only by the British landings. He said a United Nations solution for the Kuwait issue Is possible, but British military presence "is at present the only effective method of maintaining the indepedence of Kuwait." BRITISH SOURCES said they thought the threat of an Iraqi invasion in the face of firm British and Saudi Arabian action had evaporated. Air Marshal Sir Charles Els-worthy. Britain's Middle East commander, would say only: "We are through the worst, of it now. I'm a damn sight more confident now than I -was a day ago.

Horsford, himself, admitted his 3.000 man landing force "went through a period of 12 hours Sunday when if the Iraqi had crossed the border we would have been a little hard put to do what we should do." Horsford declined to estimate Iraqi strength but other mili tary sources put it at men, at least two-thirds of it equipped with Soviet -mads tanks, rocket launchers, Mig-17 jet fighters and a dozen Soviet torpedo boats based at Basra, DESriTE the vmlnous tone of Baghdad broadcasts, Iraq denied once again it planned to attack Kuwait which it has claimed as part of Iraq proper.

These three unions agreed to place their demand for unionization of United States-owned vessels registered under foreign flags before a committee to be named by Labor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg. The MEBA, with the support of the SIU, has insisted that the foreign-flag issue be settled now.
