ARREST OF BRITISH OFFICIAL AT WARSAW EMBASSY
(Rec. 11 a.m.) WARSAW, Oct. 22. A Foreign Ministry spokesman at a press conference today said that Mr Charles Whitehead, assistant commercial attache at the British Embassy in Warsaw, against whose arrest the British charge d’affaires lodged a protest, was Polish and would be charged with collaboration with the Germans. The spokesman said he would give details later of Mr Whitehead’s alleged connections with the Germans during the occupation of Warsaw. The spokesman denied that security police had mistreated a United States Embassy clerk, Mrs Wanda Sroka, who is an American citizen, during her five hours’ detention on October 17. He added that she was released after questioning and the production of her passport.
