Times Service WASHINGTON A House subcommittee released Tuesday a 1976 South Korean in-telligence plan to overtly and covertly manipulate the Ford administration, the Congress, American news organizations, acadcmitiarg.airickrgy tea bid to shape U.S. policy to Seoul's advantage. It was the most comprehensive, specific and detailed document yet seen in the investigation into Korean influence peddling here and in-dteat- ed a scope and a sophistication beyond that disclosed so far. Just how much of the plan was carried out, however, was not disclosed. A spokesman tor the House subcommittee on international organisations, which released the document during a hearing Tuesday, suggested the suc-cess of the plan would become clearer in later testimony. The subcommittee, which Is headed by Rep. Donald M. Fraser, D-Min- n,, also did not reveal how it had obtained the document But the subcommittee heard testimony Tuesday from South Korean Central Intelligence Agency defector Sohn Ho Young, who attested to its authenticity. Sohn, who formerly headed the KCIA in NewYork, said that he had been shown a copy of the plan by Major General Kim Yung Hwan,theKCIA station chief mWashiiujton. Among actions the plan outlined were: Implanting "an intelligence network in the White House," during the final year of the Ford administration. v Winning over the Democratic Party's policy research committee in Congress. The KCIA reported mat it had "firmed up" cooperation with a similar Republican com-mittee in 19!$. It was not dear to which committees the plan, translated from Korean, was referring. There are separate Democratic and Republican policy committees in both the House and Senate. Creating American public opinion that favored South Korea with a variety of lures, including inviting "influential U.S. journalists to visit Korea and convert mem." Among the news organitations targeted were the Washington Post, the Christian Science Monitor, the American Broadcasting Company and The New York Times. Converting academic critics with in-vitations to Korea, financing seminars, and publishing materials not identified as coming from the KOA. Encouraging supporters of the Korean government among Korean residents of the United States and frustrating activities of anti-governm- ent organitations. A newspaper secretly funded by the KCIA was to be established in New York. There was no in-dication that this referred to News World, a New York newspaper affiliated with the Reverend Moon Sun Myung's Unification Church. Moon has denied being an agent for the KCIA. The 1976 plan, which called for spending $730,000 on about 170 different operations, was evidently the latest in a series of yearly plans dating back to the early 1970s. It was yet another piece of evidence of the Korean government's effort to sway American policy in favor of South Korea. Fraser said that the names of administration officials, congressmen, newsmen, academicians, and clergymen were deleted to protect their privacy until they had been given the chance to testify on their possible con-nections with the KOA. The plan, which was drafted in Washington and approved at KCIA headquarters in Seoul in late 1975, was drawn up just after the fall of (See KOREAN, Page 16A) Insight University's old houses: sad reality ByJaaGardaer BSsseurian staff writer University officials reluctantly have found themselves companions of Columbia property owners faced with deteriorating housing.

Health groups fight on-jo-b hypertension NEW YORK (UPI) Blue Cross Association and the National Heart, Long and Blood Institute are joining forces in a new attack on high blood pressure at a place where it might be most easily found on the job. The aim is to cut deeply into the toll of early death from strokes and heart attacks triggered by hyper-tension suffered by 3 million 'Americans. Walter J. McNerney, Blue Cross president, announced Tuesday that me focus of the test program will be on offices and factories. "The question to be answered during this experimental program now being bunched," he said, "is mis: can the nation's No. 1 killer high Mood pressure, hypertension be brought under control by having people screened and possibly treated for it at their place of work?" 1 If the answer is "yes" it could . mark a dramatic new direction in the nation's attack on high blood pressure. "Some 20 percent of Americans have hypertension; 70 percent know it Of the 70 percent who know, only 30 percent are in effective therapy," McNerney said. The study, funded by a $500,000 grant from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute will devise a prototype "work site --hypertension program, which will include an education, screening, treatment and follow-u- p program, as well as the , methods needed to market it to employers and other groups, he said. "This will be done in cooperation with health organizations in the firm's area, as weH as assistance from doctors, hospitals and medical societies," McNerney said. "The work site was selected as the focal point of the pilot study because it has been shown that screening, treatment and any necessary fofiow-u-p procedures can be carried out conveniently and efficiently at the work site with a minimal loss of work time." Carter accepts invitation Soviets won't join Cairo talks From our wire services WASHINGTON The Soviet Union told the United States Tuesday that it would not participate in Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's upcoming Middle East summit in Cairo. Moscow's response to Sadat's in-vitation to attend the conference came at the same time the Carter ad-ministration announced it would support the informal talks aimed at reconvening the Geneva peace con-ference. The dffiering decisions by the two co-chair- men of the Geneva conference were expected, given Washington's strong support for Sadat, who originated the idea of the Cairo talks, and the Kremlin's backing of Syria and the Palestine Liberation Organization both of whom already bad rejected the Egyptian invitation. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko, in announcing the decision, said the Soviet Union is "systematically working to promote the solution" of the Middle East problem. "But," Gromyko added, "if one country demonstratively departs from the common Arab front and sacrifices the interests of the Arab states as a whole . . . this then is quite another matter." In formally announcing its ac-ceptance of Egypt's invitation, the United States said it was going because "it is an initiative we believe we should support" and because it holds out an outside possibility of making progress toward an eventual overall accord. As a result of Tuesday's decision, the United States found itself in the somewhat awkward position of at-tending the Cairo meeting together with only Egypt, Israel and the United Nations. Finnish general Ensio Siilasvuo, leader of the U.N. peacekeeping force in the Middle East was selected as the U.N. representative Tuesday by Secretary General Kurt Waldheim. Waldheim proposed also an expanded meeting be held at the United Nations, following the forthcoming Cairo talks, to help pave the way for reconvening a full-fledg- ed Middle East peace con-ference in Geneva. The secretary general admitted his statement was a "trial balloon" and said he had discussed the plan with the (See SOVIETS, Page 16A) Local Macks appalled by council appointees By Lisa Robinson and Keith Morse Misscnriaa staff writers City Council members say they didnt consider race last week when they appointed three whites to replace the only blacks on the Columbia Human Bights Commission. Two of the blacks who weren't reappointed are saying otherwise. "I didnt realize there were no blacks on the (xmunission until it was brought to my attention a day or two later," Mayor Les Proctor said Tuesday. But Mary Batliff, one of the black commission members not reappointed, said, "I'm appaned that in 1977 a city council would appoint a commission in human rights to represent the com-munity without placing a black member on it" The council does plan to try to ap-pease the blacks. Proctor said no other person can be appointed to the commission until there is a vacancy, but he wUl propose that the president of the NAACP be added as 9 an ex-offic- io member. Proctor added that the ex-offic- io member would not have voting privileges. The Bev.

Oct 1977 By Larry King Missourian staff writer Fact: The number of burglaries in Columbia has decreased substantially since last year. Fact: Burglars are meeting only token resistance when they do dedde to loot a bouse or business. A contradiction? Not at all, insists Sgt Bob Vemer of the Ortwnhfa Police Department's community relations division. What those facts mean, Vemer says, is that a community effort to increase residents' security consciousness has been somewhat, but not completely, successful. More people are bring more careful with their belongings;1 but the bad guys stifl are picking on those who are not And as long as there are easy pickings, the burglars win continue to pick mem. "Before you see the force factor go up, you're going to have to see the number of burglaries go down," he says. "Burglars are not violent, aggressive type people." In October mere were only 42 burglaries, compared with 63 for Oc-tober 1976. Overall, there have been 628 burglaries reported in the first 10 months of 1977. At the same point in 1976, 704 had been reported. Dollar losses have fallen even more dramatically from $342,967 by mis time last year to only $196,116 through October mis year. '.'Dollar losses for October decreased to $1309, down from $21,293 a year ago. , However, reaching through a broken window to unlock a door was the only force required in most burglaries last month. Vemer attributes the drop in the number of burglaries to a growing realisation among people "who care about their property" mat crime "is costing them dearly. They're the ones who have got to stop burglaries," he -- said. Vemer says people are making their homes more secure against burglars and are cooperating mere in reporting suspicious activities. "We all share people's losses when it comes to crime," he said, because of higher home and business insurance rate. "Then there are still people who win say, 'Well, we lock the front door but not the back door,' or vice versa," said Vemer. He warned mat burglaries probably wfll increase next month as vacationing students leave Columbia. Burglary losses in Columbia iTboucudi of drilant Oct lift Oct 1977 - lit towra today 7 pjn.
