Mystery Baffles Police

Manila, May 12,

Manila police early today, were still baffled by the mystery of an “unseen being" which apparently bit the arms of a girl prisoner even in the presence of police, reporters and a police doctor.

One of the most bizarre cases in Manila police history

began last night when an eighteen-year-old girl who had

been held in a women's detention cell for a week on a vagrancy charge, started yelling that she was being bitten by a "dying human being with bulging eyes and wearing a black cape",

Fellow Inmates of the prison made such * Loise that the police investigated. They took the girl from her cell to police headquarters for observation.

There, about midnight, while a police lieutenant held her left arm, she began shrieking "Here he comes again!"

Reporters who had arrived on hearing of "Decula's invasion of the Philippines" saw nobody but the girl began to squirm in the police offleer's grip. BITE MARKS

London, May 11. Mr Philip Noel-Baker, a former Secretary for Commonwealth Relations, said today in the House of Commons that it was absurd to hove for a settlement in Korea, Indo-China and Malaya while trying to get Formosa to fight Peking.

Mr Noel-Baker was the chief Opposition speaker in the foreign affairs debate opened by Sir Winston Churchill,

Mr Noel-Baker said he hoped the Prime Minister would persuade President Eisenhower that no more arms should be sent to Formosa, and that sending arms there could not possibly assist an Asian settlement,
