Title: New Anglican Archbishop of Capetown.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30580 NEW ANGLICAN ARCHBISHOP OF CAPETOWN CAPETOWN -- Bishop Robert Selby Taylor of Grahamstown, a 53-year-old, six-foot athletic clergyman, was elected Archbishop of Capetown, automatically becoming Metropolitan of the Anglican Church of the Province of South Africa. He succeeds Archbishop Joost de Blank, who retired because of ill health and has been named a canon of Westminster Abbey. Like Dr. de Blank, who gained worldwide attention for his out-spoken attacks on South Africa's apartheid policy, Archbishop Taylor is a staunch foe of racial segregation. A native of Yorkshire, Archbishop Taylor has headed the Grahamstown diocese since 1959. He is a former bishop of Northern Rhodesia and of Pretoria. He was elected archbishop by an assembly of clergy, laity and bishops which deliberated three days before agreeing on a successor to Dr. de Blank.

Title: Seoul sentences ex-president, churchmen.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-45903 SEOUL SENTENCES EX-PRESIDENT, CHURCHMEN SEOUL -- A former South Korean President, a Roman Catholic bishop, two Protestant leaders, and a respected historian were sentenced to prison by a special military court in Seoul for opposing the regime of President Park Chung Hee. The former President, Yun Po-Sun (left), 76, who was accused of having passed funds to students for anti-government demonstrations in April, was given a suspended three-year sentence. The head of the court-martial said the court was “lenient” with Mr. Yun because of his past contribution to the nation as head of state (1960-62). Catholic Bishop Daniel Tji Kak Soun of Won Ju (right), 53, an outspoken critic of the Park regime, was sentenced to 15 years and his “civil rights” were suspended for another 15 years.
