From a Special Correspondent THE Korean war has made no change in the plans for a new gov ernment in American Samoa —although Governor Darden thinks it will be the last of August before he gets away, marking the final change-over from naval to civil control.
There is no more PBY at the beck and call of anyone and everyone in Samoa . . . no more courtesy flights to Apia, no more emergency flights to Manu’a, no more flights to Canton to pick up the mail from commercial planes Honolulu-to- Suva, and no scheduled flights of Navy planes from Honolulu.
It is reported that arrangements are be ing made for a monthly service to Pago Pago by ship, whether Matson or not one does not know. The Matson offices say they have no knowledge of any service ex cept the unscheduled and infrequent sailings of their cargo ships.
