Churchill DiscIoses
Note Denouncinu
Rhee 'Treachery'
BY The Assoeioted Press

LONDON. June %. Prime
Minister Churchill told a cheer
ing House of Commons today
I'VE have not committed our
selves in any way to go forward
and conquer the whole area of
Korea and place it under the
authority of Syngman Rhee."
At the same time, the prime
minister disclosed Britain had
sent a. stiff note to Mr.. Rhee
denouncing his "treacherous
action"
Mr.. Churchill said the South
Korean presidents release of
thousands of anti-C Communist
prisoners Of war had created a
situation "full of danger"
Mr.. Churchill said "the matter
is obviously very serious. We can
all see the casting away of the
fruits of these years of fighting."
He said the United States had
a "very heavy burden to bear"
in the guarding of the prisoners,
explaining that it had moved
"about 10000 troops from guard
ing prisoners to the holding Of
the front"
Mr.. Churchill apparently in
tended this as an explanation of
why South Koreans were being
used as guards for the prisoners
of war.
The British protest note to
Mr.. Rhee, delivered by the Brit
ish minister in South Korea to-
day. told him:
"AS a member Of the u. N.
whose military forces are par
ticipating in. the Korea action
her majesty's government
strongly condemn this treac.-
erous violation CT the authority
Of the U. N. command to which
the government of Korea had
agreed in 1850.
Moreover, her majeSty's gov
ernment understand that during
recent weeks the government of
the Republic of Korea have ac-
tually reaffirmed this position by
assurances to the U. N. com
mand that no unilateral action
Of this kind would be taken by
them"
Left-Wing Laborite Jennie Lee
said "a great deal of world opin-
ion was baffled by the failure
Of the United Nations intelli-
gence service" and wanted to
know whether the Prime Minis
ter would seek an Investigation
Ito find out how this treacher-
Gus act took place."
Mr.. Churchill replied 1--WE must
place confidence in the United
States authorities who were very
likely to examine all the details
Of the course taken and the ef-
f1ciency Of their intelligence"

INcwhouser Given
Release By Tribe

DETROIT @-Hal Newhouser,
who piled up victories-and salary
checks-at q terrific clip, leaves
the Detroit Tigers with = painful
pitching arm but many wonderful
memories.
The 32-year-old southpaw, once
the mightiest pitcher In the Amer
Iican League, If not the majors,
was handed his unconditional re-
lease yesterday by the last-place
Tigers, who are building for the
future.
Thus ended q 1S-year career In
which Newhouser won an even 200
games against 148 losses, and
earned approximately $S0O, 900.
Jack Homel, Tiger trainer, gave
the tip-Of on Newhouser while
back. Said HOmel:
"Just watch Newhouser on the
mound. When he fiddles with the
resin bag or turns and looks at
the scoreboard, he's not showboat-
ling. His arm Is hurting and he's
|stalling for time, trying to relieve
the pressure Of the pain"
Newhouser, q 20-game winner
IiCur times, was troubled on and off
by q sore arm and was of little
help to the Tigers during the last
three seasons. In 1851. his record
was SO. Last year It was 90.
This season, he worked only
Ia % innings and had an OF rec
ord. His earned run average was
Is.sl.
