SEOUL, Korea, Dec. 31--(AP) Korean hotheads fought in the streets of Seoul and threw rocks at American soldiers in a violent protest against the Big Three's five-year trusteeship plan for their country.
Rightist speakers addressed a mass meeting and demanded immediate recognition of the Korean provisional government and called a strike for Koreans employed by the American military government, and branded opponents to independence now, as traitors.
In an attempt to forestall more demonstrations against the trusteeship program, announced after the Russian, British and American conference in Moscow, the American military authorities who control southern Korea, ordered an eight p.m. curfew.
There was no reaction to the program in northern Korea, where the Russians control.
