Writing A Book

Sir Donald Cleland, P-NG Administrator since 1952, is cur rently hard at work writing a book. It’s a history of the Ter ritory’s wartime Australian New Guinea Administrative Unit (Angau), with which he was as sociated. He has been collecting detailed information from various wartime officers of the unit .

Sir Donald has still made no announcement about his retire ment. He turns 65 in June, and the popular belief is that he will retire then. But Sir Donald is aware of popular belief and it is far more likely that he will not retire before next December, and finish his book in the mean time.
