Opposition leader Kim Youngaam, a strong crilic of Park's government, said the entire nation is united in warning North Korea it “should by no means miscalculate this misfortune of ours as an opportunity for invasion, and it should bear in mind that the nation is determined to defend free democracy under any clr. cumatances,” Another leading opponent of Park, 1971 - presidential. candidate Kim Dao-jung, also warned the Communists “notte try to take advantage of the situation.” “The entire people's voice is united, transcending political differences," Warnings to the North and support for acting President Chol Kyu-hah alsa came -from President Carter, U.S. Defence Secretary Harold Brown and the commander of U.S, forces in Korea, Gen.

Chon said Kim planned the assassination because he was out of favor with the president and feared he would be fired, He decided to do it that night after he and the chief bodyguard, Cha Chi-chul, got into a heated argument during the dinner, Chon sald. . Cha was Park’s constant companion, one of his closest advisers and a longtime enemy af the KCIA chief, The. government denied that Kim was trying to take over the government, Foreign observers said this was borne out by the absence of mass arrests, selzure of communications _ facilities and other things charac- teristic of attempted coups. There was no explanation of why the government originally said the killing was accidental. * Kim and all five of his men were under arrest, Chon said many others were being questioned ta determine whether they were involved.
