COAST GUARD IS
l39 YEARSOLD
Members Along United
States Shores To
Observe Day

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-(PD-
Along the thousands Of miles Of
American coast line, as well as in
The cold waters off Alaska and in
the tropic seas of the distant Philip
pines, the coast guard tomorrow will
celebrate its 18TH anniversary.

forth In the worst of weather both
to save life and enforce law and
which each year add new chapters
OF bravery and daring to the
achievements of Americans who live
on the sea.
On the eve Of this anniversary the
commandant, Rear Admiral Francis
@. Billiard summarized for The AS
ISOLATED Press the history of the
service and his views on the work
1t performs. He pointed out that
within "a hours the c~oastguard.
which serve humanity in peace
time, can become a strong arm of
the nations defense.
Making clear the coast guards
position with regard to rum run
ners from the sea, Admiral Billiard
said the service was not charged
with the enforcement of the ma
tional prohibition act. and its con-
nection thereto was to uphold the
constitution through preventing the
smuggling of contraband from the
sea as IL had since 1870.

that his station would be appropri-
ately decorated In commemoration
Of the services 18TH anniversary
