Off Pacific Run
PAN American Airways trans-Pacific Clipper service has cut the time of flight from Sydney to San Francisco from 72 hours to 46 hours. The longest stop is now 4 hours in Honolulu.
Formerly PAA flew during the day and passengers were accommodated on or near airports during the night. The new schedule will cut out the discomfort or boredom of overnight stops in such places as Nadi (Fiji) and Canton Island, and should be of advantage to travellers who travel the airways for business rather than for sight-seeing.
Mr. S. A. Lonergan has been appointed to discharge the duties of Government Secretary of the Papua-New Guinea Ad ministration as from May 7, in the ab sence on leave of Mr. R. Melrose.
