South Korean Rally
Hears Rhee Pledge
March Against North
BY the Assoeiated Press

SEOUL. Aug. 15.-Crack South
Korean troops paraded through
this battered capital today and
President Syngman Rhee shouted
his determination to march
north at the earliest possible
time" as this war-shattered re-
public marked it's fifth independ-
ence day.
Addressing thousands packed
into capitol plaza, Mr.. Rhee re-
iterated that the post-armiStice
political conference has 80 days
to unity Korea. And he pre-
dicted again that the conference
will fail.
He made it clear that unifica-
ton is his goal.
The one and only standard
by which the success or failure
of the political conference may
be judged is whether it achieves
this common objective" he de-
clared.
Battle of Korea" Shifted.
Mr.. Rhee said the armistice
shifted the battle of Korea"
from military to a political
field but it still remains the
crucial struggle to avoid World
War III.
He spoke at a giant gathering
in front of the r-scarred Cap
= itol building. At least 100000
South Koreans lined the streets
and Capitol plaza to hear the
speech directly and over loud
speakers.
1T is our wish and determina-
ton to march north at the
earliest possible time to save the
North Korean brethren from the
sure death they are facing to-
day." Mr.. Rhee declared.
Speech Aimed at U. N.
I'VE are destined to share with
them life or death and we are
fully aware that our mental at
tachment and official obligation
to them hardly allow us to delay
their ultimate salvation another
few months"
Mr.. Rhee strongly denounced
any political "appeaSement" of
the Communists.
His speech was obviously
aimed at the statesman who will
meet at the United Nations in
New York Monday to decide the
time, place and makeup of the
political conference called for
in the Korean armistice agree
ment.
Foreign observers said the
speech was one of the most
powerful ever delivered by the
78-year-old President. For the
date he chose the eighth ami
versary of Korea's liberation,
the fifth anniversary of achiev-
ing independence and the first
anniversary of his second inaug-
uration as President.
THE war could have been
won," Mr.. Rhee declared, but
the United Nations deliberately
decided against victory as it's
goal"

British P0Ws Told
By Chinese Of StaIin's
Death, but Not Kinq's
BY the Associoted Press

CAMP BRITANNIA, Korea,
Aug. 15.-"The Chinese didn't
even tell us when our King
died." Walter Turner of the
British Gloucester regiment said,
But we all knew all about Stain
going"
The Birmingham soldier said
that when they finally got the
news they asked why they had
not been told of the Kings
death. A Chinese instructor re-
piled: II didn't think it was i'm
portant."
"You know what we thought
of that remark" Pvt. Turner
said.
British returning from Camp
l at Chongsong apparently found
life in prison camp not too bad.
although Americans have told
far different story of brutality
and neglect.
Corpl. Edward Bruton, a med
ical corpSman from Barry, Gla-
morgan, Wales, was asked about
reports the Communists gave
extra rations for such holidays
of the western world as Christi
mas.
Starved, Then Given Extras.
"They starved us before so
that they could give us more for
Christmas and use it for propa-
ganda," he replied. He added
that he thought Americans at
the camp were treated better
than the British.
Alfred Venning of Stonehouse,
Plymouth. said that contrary to
some American prisoner reports
the Communists discouraged the
smoking of marijuana - the
penalty was solitary conf1ne-
ment."
He said there was a Chinese
woman doctor at the camp whom
many of the men called
mother"
"She did her best for U.S." he
said, land when she left I saw
her cry"
Some Tried to Get More.
He added that many of the
men in the camp were progress
siveS" because they thought they
could get something more out
of the Chinese by playing along
with them.
But they got the same treat
ment as the rest of u.s." the
former cook of the Gloucesters
insisted. After all the only
work done in the camp was for
ourselves. We never had to wait
on the Chinese or anything like
that"
Pvt. Eric Skinner of Halifax,
Yorkshire, said there were two
commonwealth soldiers left up at
Pyoktong and Il know that one
of them does not want to come
back"

statement from a British re-
turned prisoner on the subject
