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 April–June 1966 issue emphasizes political maturation under the new Congress of Micronesia, with the United Nations Trusteeship Council giving favorable reviews of progress toward self-government. High Commissioner M. W. Goding reported on accelerated programs in education, health, and public works, while also highlighting new U.S.-backed economic development contracts. The Reporter documents ongoing “Micronization” of administration, citing appointments of Micronesians to senior posts and the rapid growth of secondary education across the districts.
Among the notable features are speeches and profiles of prominent delegates, including Bailey Olter of Pohnpei, who represented Micronesia at the Trusteeship Council, and Chief Petrus Mailo of Chuuk (Moen, now Weno), who along with Raymond Setik (Assistant District Administrator, Chuuk) and Juan B. Blanco of Saipan participated as U.S. Leader Grantees on a 30-day study tour. The issue reports Leo Falcam’s award of a Parvin Fellowship at Princeton, making him the first Micronesian to join the program. District news highlights included the launch of the M/V Palau Islander to connect Yap and Palau, an agriculture instructors’ workshop in Pohnpei, and a cafeteria training course in Yap led by American home economics specialists.
Key individuals and organizations mentioned include Congress leaders Amata Kabua (Marshall Islands), Tosiwo Nakayama (Pohnpei), and Lazarus Salii (Palau). High Commissioner Goding praised cooperative efforts with the East-West Center and noted the success of Van Camp’s tuna operations in Palau, exporting over 4,000 tons of fish. War damage claims and compensation for the people of Rongelap were noted, along with Trusteeship Council endorsement of the Congress of Micronesia as “the greatest single step forward” in political development. Traditional authority also received mention, with the installation of local Nanmwarki (“Nanmwarki”) referenced in cultural reports.
