Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso BC: (Koria) [sic] 10/61 4) DRESS OF EAST AND WEST dramatizes the problem Lt. Gen. Pak \ faces in trying to rid South Korea of its backward ways in order \ to found a working demmocracy. These tradition-clad Koreans seem \ perplexed as they pass the junta's jeeps on one of Seoul's main streets. \ The junta's first step was to officially disapprove of such Westernized \ "non-austerity" fashions as neckties and business suits. \ Credit: Rene Burri © 1961 MAGNUM Photos
