South Korea: (The prospects for peaceful elections
in South Korea this fall are threatened by growing ex-
tremism of the ruling junta's dominant a ements and
growing public criticism of the regime.
(Hard-core followers of former security chief
Ki hong-pil are stepping up their efforts to silence
the regime's moderates. They are placing increasing
pressure on junta leader Pak Chong-hui to adopt re-
pressive measures against rivals inside and outside
the regime. Excessively harsh repressive measures,
however, could set ofif a chain reaction of public de-
fiance of the regime.
The moderates are attempting to overcome re-
cen setbacks. Kim Chae-chun, deposed director of
the South Korean CIA, and former prime minister
Song Yo-chan are attempting to develop the Liberal-
Democratic Party as an alternative to the Kim Chong-
pil-dominated Democratic-Republican Party. Kim
Chong-pil's followers, however, have already arrested
Song Yo-han on the basis of several dubious criminal
charge S)_
Civilian opposition leaders have attained surface
unit in tentatively selecting the respected Ho Chong
to run in the October presidential race. Beset by
factional strife, however, the opposition has been un-
able to translate public discontent wit the regime
into positive support for themselves.

Honduras: Political tension is mounting with the
approach of the general elections scheduled for 13
October.
Modesto Rodas Alvarado, the presidential candi-
date of the ruling Liberal Party, seems virtually as-
sured of winning any freely contested elections. He
is, however, anathema to the opposition Nationalist
Party, is distrusted by some military leaders, and
does not have the support of President Ramon Villeda
Morales.
The US Embassy reports there has been increas-
ing restlessness in Tegucigalpa in the past few weeks,
and that there is much talk of a military coup dletat.
So far, however, those elements that might favor a
coup do not possess sufficient strength or a satisfactory
pretext for such a move.
. The emergence of a force capable of attempting
a coup may nonetheless result from Villeda's apparent
effort to enlist military support against Rodas. This
is reflected in Villeda's recent appointment of Napoleon
Cubas Turcios as the director of the Civil Guard.
Cubas, a competent officer who is acceptable to the
military, reportedly would like to end the Civil Guard's
alignment with the Liberal Party and take it out of
politics.
