AN American flying-fortress plane which left Port Moresby, Papua for the Philippines on November 16, has been reported missing somewhere east of Luzon.

Planes and ships were making a search of the area in mid-November.

Sir Hugh Ragg has been reappointed a member of the Executive Council of Fiji.

The British Steamer “Ivybank” was in Apia, Western Samoa in November load ing 2,000 tons of copra for the British Ministry of Food. Owing to a shortage of transport there was a large accumula tion of copra stored in Apia sheds.
