Micronesia

Expected Change in US Administration

IT is reported that the American Trust Territory of Micronesia is to come under civilian administration as from July 1. Ever since it was taken over from the Japanese, it has been a Navy re sponsibility.

At first, the Territory was administered from the Mariana Islands, and consider able progress was made; but American critics have complained that in the past year, since headquarters were moved to Hawaii, they have lost some contact with the native peoples.

It was tipped in Honolulu last month that a brother of Mr. Dean Acheson, Secretary of State, would become the civilian Administrator of Micronesia and that headquarters would be at Truk, in the Carolines, which already is head quarters for various official institutions concerned with native welfare.
