CHINA-BOUND P.I. MAYOR NOW A WORTHLESS
HAS PASSPORT CANCELLED
Ordered To Return To Manila In 24 Hours
By E. C. ALBERTO
The Philippine Consul-General, Mr Eduardo L. Rosal, today cancelled the passports of the Vice-Mayor of Manila, Mr Jesus M. Roces, and his party of two aides and seven Tiews- men to prevent them going to China and ordered them to return to the Philippines within 24 hours.
Mr Rosal disclosed that he informed the Hongkong Govern- ment that the Philippine Government had declared the passports of the nine Filipinos null and void.
TYPHOON'S LATEST
POSITION: DEPRESSION SOUTH OF HONGKONG
Typhoon Winnie is still heading for Formosa and was last reported moving at 10 knots towards the island. The present position of 22.0 de grees North, 123.4 degrees East, places the typhoon some 500 miles East of the Colony and in this position it is unlikely to affect Hongkong.
A tropical depression with fla centre soine 350 miles South- East of the Colony is practically stationary, I hus winds of up
to 50 knots.
All the US Navy ships in hac- bour, with the exception of the Station ship the Okanogan, sulled out of the harbour this morning because of the close proximity of the Typhoon. The ships wore the aircraft carrier, 1hcock, and the destroyers, J. R. Craig, Uhlmann, Perkins, Robers and Kidd, and the Fleet viter, Caliente.
There was no rainfall recorded al the Observatory during last night. At noun the temperature Tecorded by the Observatory ans 08.7 degrees Fahrenheit, und the relative humidity was 71 per cent.
