The Administrator of
Goes to Canberra
LAE, Oct. 30. rE Administrator of Papua-New Guinea, Lieut-Col. J. K. Murray, recently went South. It is under stood that he has gone to Canberra and the usual crop of rumours in relation thereto are circulating freely.
Some of these are: That he has gone to rid himself of the present Public Ser vice and obtain others in lieu of same; that he has gone to get more money; that he has gone to arrange for the importation of cattle on behalf of the Department of Agriculture.
The truth is probably that the Admin istrator went to Canberra in connection with his reappointment for a furtner year (see elsewhere this issue) and to
discuss the general outlook and policy in the Territories in relation to the fact that the Government was returned to office at the recent general elections.
M. Senesse, who has been Acting- Public Prosecutor in Noumea, New Caledonia, has returned to France on long leave. Provisionally his duties have been taken over by M. Leleu.
