Manila political circles regard as probable the selection of Felipe Buencamino, assemblyman from Nueva Ecija, as the next resident commissioner in Washington in the event Président Quezon accepts the resignation of Quintin Paredes, present incumbent, according to a report from Manila.

Friends of the Nueva Ecija legislator have stated that Mr. Buen- camino himself will be compelled to sacrifice his business interests in event he is drafted for the position. He is a practicing attorney besides being actively engaged in agriculture and mining.

Image Of Virgin Reported Found

י

The small barrio of Dungalo, Parañaque, Rizal, suddenly became a Mecca for hundreds of worshippers from the town and neighbour- ing municipalities with the discovery of a supposed image of the Holy Virgin last week, writes a Manila correspondent. News of the discovery spread like wildfire, causing hundreds of people to flock to the barrio.

The Imat was supposedly found in a ripe papaya by a young man known in the barrio as "Berting." He said he opened the fruit and to his amazement found the image encased in it. Upon learn-. ing of the discovery, the entire household gathered about him and stared at the image in reverential awe. Then there was wild excite- ment in the house, and the entire neighbourhood, on learning about the news, came in. A mad scramble for possession of the frult en- sued. The people eating even the peel of the papaya out of reverence for the Image,

The image is of hard material, black in colour and about three inches in length.

Gold Market Plight Discussed

Thus does President Quezon respond to comments that his indé recent rapid decline in Manila share markets, states the "Manila. pendence"propaganda programme has been partly responsible for the Bulletin." It is apparent that stock holders in Philippine mining is- suce can expect little help from the chief executive but rather does he express himself as inclined to let the prédent state of affairs cop- tinue, a situation that has become antenable for thousands upon

thousands of investors..

If no succour can be expected at home there is assistance to be had elsewhere. And thishelp, in the form of millions of gold dollars, has actually asked to take part in the building of the gold Industry In the Philippines. A movement is already under way to enlist this

support.

The note says: "In order not to cause bitter disapointment among the Palestine Arabs. the Iraq Gov- ernment must now stand by its word, and therefore demand aban- donment of the partition plan. The only possibility to pacify
