GENERAL INFORMATION Guam is an unincorporated but organized territory of the United States. It is under the administrative jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Its 97,000 residents, including military transients, are predominantly U.S. citizens. The Governor of Guam is the Chief Executive Officer of the government of Guam. He is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate and serves a term of 4 years. Members of the unicameral, 21member Guam Legislature are elected biennially and at large. The local lawmaking body is vested with taxing powers and is empowered to legislate on all matters not inconsistent with Federal laws applicable to Guam. The judicial system is comprised of a U.S. District Cou;-t, whose judge is a Presidential appointee, and the Island Court of Guam, whose judges arc appointed by the Governor of Guam. The territory is represented in the Nation's capital by a Washington Representative, an elected official. There are lhree political parties, two of which are affiliated, respectively, with the national Democratic and Republican organizations. The third group is the Territorial Party of Guam. Guam is centrally located .in the Western Pacific, 1,300 miles southeast of Japan, 1,500 cast of the Philippines, and 3,000 west-southwest of Hawaii. The territory is the largest and most populated island in the Marianas Archipelago. It is 13° north of the Equator with temperatures ranging

from 70° to 90°. Average yearly precipitation is 85 to 100 inches. Guam is 30 miles long and ranges from 4 miles at its narrowest point to 8½ miles at its broadest, containing an area of 209 square miles. Its climate is warm and humid. Trade winds cool the island during the dry season, December through April. May and June are the hottest months, and most of the rain falls from July to September. The northern half of the island is a high-rolling plain reaching 400 feet above the ocean, with steep cliffs abruptly forming the coastline. The central portion containing Agana, the capital, is Bat to the sea but low hills take form. To the south, rough mountains rise from 700 to 1,334 feet above sea level. The highest peak is Mount Lamlam. While enroute to the Orient during his globe-girdling voyage in 1521, Ferdinand Magellan and his fleet of three ships landed in picturesque Umatac at the southern tip of the island. In 1665, Spanish missionaries came to Christianize the islanders and from then until 1898, Guam was a protectorate of the Spanish throne. Under the Treaty of Paris, Guam was ceded to the United States following the Spanish-American War. The island was placed under the administration of the U.S. Navy. Shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Japanese seized and held Guam until July 21, 1944, when American forces liberated the island. The present Guamanians are a mix1

flights from Honolulu arrive in Guam with two continuing to Manila and three to Southeast Asia. Five weekly eastbound flights reverse the pattern. The Guam-Tokyo flights were increased in April 5, 1968, to a thrice weekly service. A weekly flight to Sydney, linking Tokyo, Guam, and the

Australian industrial center, is expected to commence shortly. Guam thus becomes the focal point in Pacific air travel between Honolulu and the West Coast, Tokyo, Manila, Southeast Asia, and Sydney. Guam is a regular port-of-call for 10 shipping lines, including American

fund program required a sizable outlay of funds which were charged against collections, the net clfect being a reduction of actual receipts. Liquid fuel tax revenue was below projected figures because of the loss of military sales. Grants-in-aid projections were made on the basis of 75 percent Federal participation. The Federal share was reduced to 50 percent. Income tax deficiencies resulting from audit examinalions exceeded that of the previous year by $308,314.85 for a total of $912,176.17. A total of 3,644 audits were completed, compared to 3,066 the previous year. Delinquent accounts collection totaled a record high of $1,964,644.79, an increase of $683,807.81 over the previous year. The Re.al Property Tax Division of the Department of Finance entered in its rolls assessments involving 13,609 land parcels and 9,871 buildings. There were 98 l more la:nd parcels and 450

more new buildings assessed during fiscal 1968 than in the prev.ious year. In tenns of assessment value, the landed properties represented $18,707,380. Buildings were valued at $18,524,940. The ta..x assessment on the land parcels totaled $561,205.80, an increase of $15,222.30 over the previous year. Assessment on buildings was $555,806. 70. The combined taxes for land and buildings totaled $1,117,012.50. The major development in litigation was the granting of a rehearing in the Sayre case by the Ninth Ci1·cuit Cou1t of Appeals. This involved an interpretation of the Organic Act in determining the tax liability on Guam source income to a corporation not doing business in the territory. The court reversed its previous decision in the Atkins-Kroll case and held that ta..xpayers, both nonresident individuals and corporations not doing business in Guam, were nonresident aliens

EDUCATION Expansion of educational facilities and improvements in personnel capability and programs received major emphasis during the year under review. Total appropriations for educational purposes, including support activities and capital improvement projects, amounted to $19,051,344,substantially more than the previous year's allocation for the territory's educational system. In addition, $1,575,800 in Federal 1unds was e."pended for the construction of an J8-classroom elementary school. The College of Guam received $1,608, 177 for its operational expenditure, and the Department of Education $10,678,533. Because of a continuing and acute shortage of teachers and administrative personnel in the public school system, the College of Guam established a separate School of Education during the year to allow greater concentration on and a more proficient direction of the institutic:m'seffort to improve and enlarge its teacher-training program. Among the graduates of J968 were 47 baccalaureate majors in education. The new graduate school offers programs leading to the degree of master of arts in education in the areas of art, biology, English, guidance and counseling, reading specialist, general social sciences, history, and political science. During the year, 289 graduate stu-

dents were registered and three received a master of arts degree in education. The College of Guam adopted its university structure in September, 1967, by establishing three undergraduate schools-arts and sciences, education, and continuing educationand a graduate school. It was granted a maximum 5-year accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges in the spring of 1968. Two new buildings were completed and occupied in September, 1967, and a third was scheduled for completion by the summer of 1968. They were the Fine Arts Building, the Library Building, and the Science Building. Cost of the three structures was $2,484,000. The new facilities increased the college's space by 76,500 square feet. Construction of three dormitories to accommodate 300 students began in March 1968, and the first increment of a new student center is scheduled to be completed by July 1969. Two other programs of major significance were instituted at the college--a police academy and a nursing education program. Three policy academy clasess were graduated during the year, for which 60 police officers were enrolled; and 18 students graduated from the nursing program. A secretarial in-service training program also was conducted during the year for personnel of the government of Guam. 9

A Zoonosis Control section was organized and the Nutrition section was reorganized in the Department of Public Health and Social Services. A comprehensive speech and hearing center also was established. Objectives of the new Zoonosis Control section include the surveillance and control of aH animal diseases transmissible to man. As of October 1967, a tota1 of 89 positive rabies cases were reported. The first such case was reported in March 1967, and since that time a total of 18,600 stray dogs and cats have been destroyed. Twenty-seven rabies vaccination clinics were held in all 19 civilian communities for the second year in a row. One thousand and twenty animal bite cases were reported during the year and 98 percent of the animals involved were apprehended and held for 14 days. The antirabies program was 'Overseen by a seven-member Rabies Advisory Board comprising representatives from the Navy, Air Force, and the Departments of Agriculture and Public Health and Social Services. Initial planning and staffing commenced during the year for the implementation of the mental health and mental retardation programs. The Public Health Department, however, continued to experience recruitment difficulties, including a high rate of turnover of professional personnel. A new program to provide intensive medical care, social, nursing and dental services to "high risk" pregnant women was started in February 1968. Tuberculosis incidence remained high during the year. There were 91 admissions for hospitalization, an increase of 15 over the previous year. Forty percent were new active cases. Assistance rendered residents of the Trust Te1Titoryof the Pacific increased substantially, from 26 cases handled during the calendar year 1966, to 82 cases in 1967.

In the area of dental health, the Governor issued an executive order requiring the fluoridation of all public drinking water by the end of 1968. The Ninth Guam Legislature enacted legislation authorizing free dental care to all school children up to the age of 16, but implementation of the program was substantially curtailed because the Department of Public Health and Social Services was unsuccessful in its efforts to recruit the required dentists. The Guam water quality standards was approved by the U.S. Department of the Interior and is ex-pected to facilitate improvements in the territory's sewage and other liquid waste disposal programs. , The Division of Social Services expanded its facilities and programs during the year. A branch office was established at the southern end of the island and additional working space was provided to all programs through the rental of commercial space. Academic and industrial arts classes were provided inmates of the Juvenile Detention Home during the year, and a "half-way house for boys was opened. Under the division's work experience and training program, a total of 76 trainees participated. The Medicaid (Title XIX) program was inaugurated during the year and 977 cases were processed and serviced with monthly referrals averaging approximately 100 cases. A total of 2JO nurses were issued licenses during the year. The Guam Board of Nurse Examiners assisted in the development of an associate degree nursing program at the ColJege of Guam.

PROTECTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF RESOURCES Five capital improvement projects under the Guam Rehabilitation Act were completed during the year. The}' were a College of Guam Library Building, a Fine Arts Building, an addition to the Dedcdo Elementary School, a new Juvenile Institution, and the first phase of a planned islandwide sewer system, bringing the total to 31 projects constructed with funds allocated under the Rehabilitation Act. The Rehabilitation Act authorized an expenditure of $45 million for rehabilitation and capital improvement projects. As of the end of the fiscal year, $36,761,000 had been appropriated by the U.S. Congress for projects in education, community development, public works, resources development, and public utility rehabilitation and expansion. The territory participated in many other grants-in-aid programs and almost all agencies of the government benefited under such programs. Among major highlights of the year was commencement of service by a second airline - Air Micronesia which offers regularly scheduled service between Guam and the major islands of the Pacific Trust Territory. Au· Micronesia is partly owned by Continental Airlines. Construction started on a new commerical port facility which will, when completed, cost in excess of $10 million. The new facility, located at Cabras Island across from the present

port site, will provide more than half a mile of wharf space, large warehouse and open storage areas, and contiguously, an industrial park for the de-. velopment of commercial facilities. Both breakbulk and containerized cargo will be handled. As of May 31, 1968, a total of $4,104,744.70 had been expended for the design and construction of the new port complex. The Guam-Tokyo direct air flight, inaugurated in May 1967,continued to show increasing popularity. Pan American World Airways increased its fl_ight frequency from two to three times weekly in April 1968, and plans call for 4 weekly flights by late 1968. International flights served by the Guam international airport terminal averaged 26 weekly and scheduled flights to and from the Trust Territory averaged 23 weekly, an increase 'Of 16 and nine, respectively, over the previous year. The Guam Economic Development Authority cosponsored an exploratory tuna fishing survey with the Taiwan Ocean Fishery Development Administration. A 350-ton fishing clipper with a complement of 35 men conducted a 4-month exploratory survey on fishing grounds south of Guam. The survey indicated that there are potentially good fishing grounds in the waters around Guam. The authority disbursed $24,000 to five applicants for agricultural devel23

Its share was 50 percent of the loan. The facility was completed in July 1968. The authority also participated in a $125,000 loan for the constrnction and operation of an auxiliary food service. Its share was $25,000.

LABOR As of June 30, 1968, the territory had a labor force of 21,316, 57 percent of whom were employed either by the Federal government or the government of Guam. Twenty percent of the labor force were Philippine nationals utilized primarily in consb·uction projects. There was no known unemployment. All employable persons willing to work could find jobs. There was, however, a continuing demand for skilled workers and efforts were being exerted to upgrade the skills of local workers through expanded and improved curricula and facilities of the Guam Trade and TeclmicaJ School, the Navy Apprenticeship Program, and other governmental in-service training programs. The Guam Employment Service completed plans for the establishment of a State Manpower Development Planning System under which the GES is responsible for developing an annual state training plan in con~ultatio11with other agencies. Three Manpower Development and Training Act projects were completed with 51 trainees graduating. They involved two clerk-stenographer projects and one block-layer mason. Of the 51 graduates, 48 were placed with private industry or government service. The programs were sponsored jointly by the Guam Employment Service, the Department of Labor and Personnel, and the Guam Trade and Technical School. Another training program for waiters and waitresses was started in

May 1968. Seven enrollees completed the 8-week course. Fourteen young workers participated in the Apprenticeship Ti:aining Program, a joint venture between the government of Guam and the Guam Contractors Association. Seven employers participated in the program. During the year, 738 youths seeking employment were registered with the Guam Employment Service. These youngsters included dropouts, disadvantaged, and high school graduates. Services rendered included employment counseling, placement, testing, and referral to federally financed vocational training such as the Neighborhood Youth Corps and the MDTA program. Approximately 250 students registered with the Guam Employment Service for summer jobs, of whom 150 were placed either with the local or Federal government or with private industry. The GES conducted a survey of high school graduating seniors to ascertain their immediate plans. Of the 995 graduating seniors from public and private schools, 653 responded. Two hundred and nineteen indicated they wished to attend college on a full-time basis; the same number planned to seek full-time employment; 51 want-.::dto join the armed forces; 57 planned to attend college on a part-time basis; and 107 were undecided. The GES offer.:edassistance to the 219 who wanted immediate employment. 29
