FILIPINO DOCTOR REPLACES TARUC AS HUK CHIEF

Manila, Nov. 11.

The top ranking Communist rebel in the Philippines now is 34-year-old bespectacled Dr Jesus Lava, according to the army, and the reward for his capture dead or alive has been raised from P100,000 to P130,000.

Luis Taruc, the most colourful symbol of the Huk rebellion, is now considered No. 2 Red lender by the army, and the price on his head remains at 1100,000.

Put Its Finances In

Teheran, Nov. 11.

Persia, faced with graver financial and econo- mie difficulties than ever before, is trying to cut down and limit Government expenditure. Recent efforts to solve the crisis, however, have met with strong criticism in political and financial circles in Teheran on the ground that they offer no real re- medy.

Indeed, the Government has been attacked by newspapers of varying shades of opinion for its mishandling of financial and economic policy.
