Micronesian Reporter 1963 V11 01. Micronesian Reporter (Report). Saipan, Mariana Islands: Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. January 1963. p. 36.

Abstract: Beginning in 1951, the Headquarters for the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) regularly published a magazine that detailed its work in the region. From 1951 through the first issue of 1956, the magazine was known as the Micronesian Monthly; from the second issue of 1956 through the end of the run in 1980, it was known as the Micronesian Reporter. From 1951 through December 1967, publication cycles varied: For the most part, the magazine was produced monthly, though certain issues cover two or more months. Starting in 1968, the magazine was formally shifted to a quarterly publication cycle, which continued through the first quarter of 1980, when publication ceased.

The January–April 1963 issue spans four months and highlights new political institutions, cultural contributions, and district developments.

Articles note the creation of the Marianas District Legislature in Saipan and the chartering of Airai Municipality in Palau. Reports from Majuro describe magnet school programs and community activities. Handicraft production from Maloelap is featured, while Yap is noted for progress on its airfield. Coverage also includes Trust Territory vessels being painted white, radio services being introduced, and visits by authors to Saipan. A report mentions Iaman attending the South Pacific Commission Rural Health Conference.

Named individuals include Iaman, a delegate to the SPC conference, and local leaders in Palau and the Marianas. Institutions cited are the Marianas District Legislature, the South Pacific Commission, village councils, and school programs across Pohnpei, Kosrae, and Chuuk.
