THE 117 inhabited islands of the Marshalls, Marianas and Carolines will be visited soon by a floating lab oratory equipped to give the 50,000-odd natives of those islands a complete med ical and dental examination.
Admiral Louis Denfield, High Comm issioner of the former Jap Territories, now under Trust to America, said recently that a ship was at present being converted to do the job. Natives will be brought by launch to the ship for examination while experts are checking food, water supply, pest control, etc. back in their villages.
