Abstract: This issue of TTPI Headquarters News reports on regional administration and development activities, highlighting a senior visit, judicial affairs, and professional training alongside routine headquarters and personnel updates. It frames the period as one of consolidation and planned expansion, with leadership outlining recent accomplishments and setting priorities for the coming year, while also noting features such as cultural and general news sections.
A principal item is the arrival of the Secretary-General of the South Pacific Commission, who met with the High Commissioner and staff to review the Commission’s achievements over the past year and to describe major programs and projects scheduled for 1964. The Secretary-General indicated that the Commission expected to broaden its activities, signaling an organizational trajectory toward wider scope and increased engagement across the region.
The publication also covers an upcoming judicial conference centered on the Rights of Parties in Court. Chief Justice Edward P. Furber is slated to preside, with Associate Justice Paul Kinnare providing assistance. The emphasis on procedural rights suggests a focus on strengthening court practices and ensuring fair treatment within the Trust Territory’s judicial system.
In health and education, the issue notes that doctors and nurses completed a continuing medical education program at the University of Hawaii designed to bridge the gap between modern medical theory and practical application. The course combined classroom instruction with clinical in-service training in specialized fields such as surgery, pediatrics, orthopedics, and related areas. Participation extended beyond the Trust Territory to include personnel from Guam and American Samoa, and the Trust Territory contingent included figures such as Dr. Jose L. Chong and Fereo Kumangni, identified as district-level medical leaders for the Mariana Islands.
