From Our Own Correspondent
Port Moresby. Sept 6.
NO volunteers for Korea will be ac cepted from Papua-New Guinea.
Advice to this effect was received in Moresby from Army Headquarters last week. Fifteen Moresby men were ready to leave to start training in Brisbane when the news arrived. It is stated that employees of the Department of External Territories will not be accepted into the Korea force under any circumstances.
Non-administration employees could go to Australia and join up there. Cancella tion of recruiting in the Territory caused some confusion among men who had ar ranged to leave their jobs and join up.
The Director of Education, Fiji, Mr. H.
Hayden, has returned to Suva. After at tending a meeting of the South Pacific Research Council in Sydney last month, he went on to New Zealand for discus sions with the educational authorities there and to interview applicants for teaching positions in Fiji, and to see students from the Colony.
