"Spook" fanatics from all over the world are said to bo secking copies of g strange coloured photograph of the Australian outback in which a ghostly figure appears. The photo was taken by the Roy, R.S. BLANCE, of Tusmore Prosbyterian Church, Adelaide at Corroboree Rack, 100 miles west of Alice Springs, in May 1956. It shows a ghostly figure in a long white cloak at the back of some bushes and it has its hands clasped under the chin as if in prayer. Scientists and photo- graphic experts who have examined the picture are baffled by it.

Loudon, Sept. 22. Despite the omejal statement that the situation in the Formosa Stralta was much tho same, British diplomatie clr- cies believe that it has notice- ably worsened in the last few Jaya.
They are wondering how the American and Chinese Governments will be ptile to extricate themselves from a posklon fraught with serious dangers.
Two factors, it was felt in Loudon, have contributed to the worscuing of the situa- tion:
Russia's uncompromising sland an reflected In Khrushchev's letter to Elsenhower which seemed directed to encourage the Peking Government in Its untractable position, And the apparent determination

It was equally pointed out that until now both the Chinese and the Americans have been careful to avoid a direct clash.
