SOUTH KOREA: Revolt at the Polls
(2 of 2)
Defeat Accepted. Rhee's setback reflected South Korea's progressive dissatisfaction with inflation, government saba-saba (influence peddling), incompetent administration, police brutality and grinding poverty. Shocked and angered, Syngman Rhee at first kept silent about the results. Then at week's end, weary but resigned, he spoke: "I think Chang Myun has been elected," he said, and tension perceptibly eased.
Said Vice President-elect Chang: "A very wise move on his part, very timely. I think we'll get along all right. He's a very strong antiCommunist, and so am I. He's a Christian, and so am I."
