U.S. Businessman Guilty in Korean Scandal to Pay Off Congressmen - A federal WASHINGTON (UPI) jury Saturday found businessman Han-ch- o Kim guilty of conspiring to deliver in $600,000 con- payoffs to gressmen as part of a secret South Korean effort to influence U.S. foreign policy. The jury delib- erated more than seven hours before its foreman, Olga King, announced the verdict while Kim Kim and his wife, Soonduk, sat expressionless in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Thomas Flannery. The jurors found Kim guilty of both counts in his indictment conspiracy and a charge that he lied to a federal grand jury in denying he ever received the $600,000 from a Korean intelligence agent. Cosmetics Business Kim, a naturalized U.S. citizen who runs a cosmetics business in Maryland, faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. Sentencing was set for May 19.

International economic stability depends on vigorous efforts in all industrialized countries to reduce dependence on imported oil, the heads of the nine Common Market governments said in a statement issued at the close of a two-dameeting. Danish Prime Minister Anker Joergensen, the conference chairman, said the U.S. oil and energy problem is Europes most vital issue because it contributes to the weakness of the dollar. West Europeans worry about the fall of the dollar because it makes American goods cheaper abroad, thereby cutting into their own exports. Urges U.S. Action British Prime Minister James Callaghan, at a news conference, said that if President Carter can get an energy bill through Congress, or if he takes action without the U.S Congress reaching conclusions on energy conservation, this would help to reduce monetary disturbances. Japan, the leaders said, must quickly cut its overseas earnings, which in the fiscal year ending last month exceeded spending by $13 billion. The Japanese, in past talks with the Common Market, had promised to reduce this surplus as a contribution to world trade recovery. But the leaders said Japan had not done so and this continues to cause concern. Plan Strategy The statement said the members of the market, formally the European Economic Community, plan to evolve a "Common strategy" by July, aiming "to reverse the present unsatisfactory trend in the Communitys economic and social situation and contribute to overall international action to promote the world economic recovery." Heads of the Common Market nations are to meet again July 7 in Bremen, West Germany, to look over specific solutions worked out by their experts. Later in July, Carter will go to Bonn for conferences he another of the and his predecessors have held with six West major industrailized countries Germany, Britain, France, Japan, Italy and Canada.

Carter announced Friday he Carter Neutron Decision Draws Critics - President Carters Reuter News Agency WASHINGTON decision to defer production of the neutron bomb sparked fresh controversy Saturday, with Sen. Robert Byrd members of "faintheartedness. The majority leader, who favors production of the tactical nuclear accusing NATOs weapon, said he believed hesitation on the part of NATOs members was a central factor in the Presidents deci- - sion. Sen. Byrd told reporters there would be no incentive for the United States to produce the weapon, an enhanced radiation warhead for missiles and artillery shells for use against an armoured invasion, unless West Germany and other NATO allies agreed to its deployment on their soil. We need a show of interest on up the President, their the West Virginia Democrat said. "After all, its in their good interest, because any war of this kind is going to be fought on their territory. part to back Fainthearted Friends' He added; Perhaps our greatest danger lies in what appears to be a faintheartedness on the part of some of our friends in Europe when it comes to the security of us all. Sen. Byrd argued that the neutron bomb program should not be cancelled unless equal concessions were extracted from the Soviet Union. The threat of neutron production should be a substantial bargaining counter in talks with the Soviet Union See Page 2, Column 2 of neutron evidence of new Soviet restraint in the arms race. " The Soviet news agency Tass, in tjie first official commentary here ,.pn Carters move, said the U.S. leader is trying to tie his final decision to matters involving the strengthening of the Soviet Unions defense capability that have no relation to neutron weaponry. ; . Carter Has Clear Goal It said Carter has the clear goal of obtaining concessions from the Soviet Union on other issues unrelated to the matter at hand." In a separate commentary, the cy said a key motive behind Carters is the effort by the UJ3. decision government to create the best public opinion situation for future deployment of neutron weapons in Western Europe, and to break down the powerful wave of protest against the creation of these weapons, which increase the danger of putting off production warheads pending i nuclear war." U.S. officials in Washington acknowledge that Carters decision would allow the administration to blame the Soviets if Washington decides later to deploy neutron weapons. Aims at Deflecting Claims? Analysts here said Saturdays Soviet reaction appeared aimed at deflecting these claims that Moscow should now make its own concessions outside the framework of a new comprehensive arms limitation accord. The United States is pressing Moscow to limit deployment of its powerful missiles and to reduce its tank 0 and infantry armies in Eastern Europe. Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance is expected to raise such issues during a visit to Moscow later this month. The Tass commentary was coupled with continued media reports here of oppositon to neutron weapons in the SS-2- West. Rebroadcasts Speech Soviet television rebroadeast a Friday speech in which Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev accused the United States of trying to make neutron weapons an item of trade and ... trying to link this type of armaments with others that bear no relationship to it.". The Soviet Union maintains that neutron weapons are an extraneous issue the United States has introduced into the world arms picture, confusing and upsetting progress toward a new strategic arms limitation agreement.
