KOREAN ASSASSIN

Seoul, Doc. 9.

WO of a trio of would-be assassins, sentenced to death for an attempt on the life of Vice-President John Chang, petitioned for a new triat last week and one promised to "expose the whole story".

One of the two, Choi Hoon, 38, in a laboriously scrawled note, said he wanted a new trial because “I am too innocent to be sentenced to death."

Only hours after Choi submitted his requent direct to the Seoul District Court, bypassing his counsel, Lee Duk Shin also sub- mitted a request for a retrial.

The 37-year-old Lee, a former lleutchant in the National Police, stated in his handwritten note: "I will expose the whole story of the case." Loe also bypassed his counsel.

FORGIVENESS

The ROK Supreme Court Inst month upheld death scalences for the three principals involved in the shooting, ending ono.of the most sensational criminal cases in the history of the young republic.

The triggerman in the attempted assassination of Mr Chang on September 20, 1930, King Song Bong, 27, has made no request for a retrial,

The Opposition Party vice-president, who was wounded in the hand as he emerged from the National Theatre here after a political address at the Democrally Party convention, has. asked President Rhee to commute the death sentences. Vice-President Chang told the United Preêş he requested leniency for the three because they had no personal grudge against me" and because he was certain they were “the dunes of someone behind the scenes.”—United Press.

SCOTCHLEY

It's a question of locality.

Para 3

FINE SCOTCH is a blend of many whiskies, and much turns on where these whiskies are made. In the case of Ballantine's, this important question was decided many years ago.

Those experis of another age chose forty-two whiskies distilled in different areas of Scotland. To-day, these very same whiskies meet in the vats at Dumbarton, each one lending its unique character to the balanced blend that is Ballantine's.

The care taken over the past century is amply repaid to-day. All over the world nien recognise the personality of their favourite Scotch-Ballantine's-the superb Scotch.
