P. A. 5. Franklin,
U. 5. Shippers Dean,
Dies at 68
DoIIur-o-Yeur-Mun'
In War Headed Two
Steamer Lines
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LOCUST VALLEY. N. Y, Aug. Is
p. A. S. Franklin, dean of American
shippers and retired chairman of the
board of the International Mercantile
Marine Co. and the United States
Lines, died yesterday at his summer
home.
Mr.. Franklin, 68, resigned as chair
man last January and turned over
active management of the company
to his son, John NJ.
A leader in rebuilding the Amer
lean Merchant Marine, Mr.. Franklin
was a "dollar-a-year" man during
the World War when, as chairman
of the Shipping Control Committee
he guided the movement of the
American ocean cargo tonnage.
Mr.. Franklin was born in Ash
land, Md.
Mr.. Franklin entered the ship
ping industry as an Office boy for the
Atlantic Transport Co. in Baltimore.
He rose in the councils of this or
ganization and was transferred to
New York. After seven years in
New York he became general man.
ager of the line, and following a
merger of several steamship lines, he
became vice president of the pow
erful International Mercantile Ma
rine Co. in charge of the company's
activities in the United States.
For his service during the war,
when he directed the largest single
feet ever assembled under one ex-
ecutive--1, 400 vessels with a ca
pacity of 100000 tons-Mr. Frank
lin received the Distinguished Service
Medal, the French Legion of Honor
and the Belgian Order of Leopold.
His efforts in later years were di-
rected toward establishing the
United States Lines over foreign lines.
In 1881 this line was merged with
the American Merchant Line, COM
ing to be known as the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine Roosevelt
Steamship Co.
Mr.. Franklin was convinced that
Americans would patronize ships fly
ing their own flag if these vessels
were comparable to foreign boats.
This was the business philosophy
that guided him throughout his
career, and he lived to see his COM
panies take long strides in this di-
rection.
Under his direction such ships as
the Pennsylvania. the California, the
Virginia, the Manhattan and the
Washington were put into service.
and he brought about resumption of
service by the Panama Pacific Line,
using five former trans s-Atlantic
liners on weekly service. Both
the Manhattan and Washington,
launched in depression years, have
lNen outstanding business successes.
Mr.. Franklin was nephew of the
late Gen. w. B. Franklin, U. S. A.,
and the late Admiral S. r. Franklin,
U. S. N Funeral services will be held
at 2 pm. tomorrow in New York.

BY the Associated Press.
The National Labor Relations
Board is having some serious trou-
BILE with labor.
Labor, in fact, is getting on its
nerves.
It's not a labor dispute, but lust
the everyday noise that workmen
make in demolishing and erecting
buildings.
The board occupies Offices next
door to what used to be one of the
clty's show places-the old Mclean
mansion at Fifteenth and I streets
But laborers moved in on the
mansion and before the board
knew what was happening the old
nome was being wrecked.
Then other groups moved onto
the scene and started erecting an
Office building.
AT the current hearings of the
Labor Board time is being taken
out almost as frequently as at a
rough football game. Testimony is
given when the drills go silent.

Forest Fires Again
Numerous

According to statement made by
District Forester r. H. Hershberger,
more than 1875 forest fires have been
reported in the Western Shore Dis
trict of Maryland since the first Of
the year. The majority of these fires
were caused by brush burning opera
tons or smokers. The prevalence Of
these fires is no doubt the result Of
the unusually open winter and the alb
sence of normal amount Of snow
fall.
Since March and April are usually
the worst months of the year for the
occurrence of forest fires, the District
Forester cautions all persons to be
particularly careful with fire, espec-
tally brush or debris burning opera
tions. The safest time TO do any nee
essary burning is in the evening after
the wind has died down or immediate
ly after a rain. Smokers are also
cautioned to always be certain that
their matches or cigarettes are com
pletely out before discarding them.

Legion Post Celebrates 10th
Anniversary; Auxiliary Host
Henderson Smith Edmonds Unit Entertained By
Woman's Group Cooperation Is Stressed AS Men,
bers Are Urged To Support National Defense

With "cakes and ale" and laughter
and song, and with serious considera-
ton of vital national problems, the
American Legion Post of Rockville
celebrated it's twentieth birthday.
The Rockville Auxiliary entertained
the Post in the library club rooms.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Mrs. Ruth Vitale, and
briefly addressed by Hubert Moore,
commander of the Henderson Smith
Edmonds Post, who reminded the
group of the beginnings of the Legion
in Paris: Commander Moore said,
"The Legionaires are men who be-
lieve in national preparedness; they
have been fighting for it ever since
they got home"
Mrs. Rowan Erb addressed the joint
meeting, making strong plea that
the Legion and it's Auxiliary support
the proposed National Defense Plan.
This, Mrs. Erb explained, Congress
will consider in three separate parts.
Section of the Act provides for mod
ernizing and multiplying the equip
ment for war, and this section has al
ready been enacted. Section 2 is
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1939-03-23

known as the Naval Bill. Section 3
is known as the Tax Bill and is to
provide for financing the National De-
tense Act aims, said Mrs. Erb, ITO
make it impossible to get caught
again where we were caught in 1917.
A gripping talking picture depict
ing the work done by the U. S. Coast
Guard was shown. The audience saw
pirates and smugglers caught, har-
bors policed, storm warnings trans
mitted, ships salvaged, fires at sea
put out, wrecked people saved. The
motto of the Coast Guard, always
Ready, tells the whole story. In time
of war teh Coast Guard also serves in
line of defense.
Mrs. Margaret Errtter, vice-presi-
dent Of the Southern Maryland Dis
trict, extended birthday congratula-
tons to the Legion, and pladged the
support of the Auxiliaries for the Le-
gion general purpose and program:
Mrs. Errtter expressed che belief that
following birthdays will find even
closer cooperation and sympathy be-
tween the two organizations.
Mrs. John Myers was chairman Of
the hospitality committee.
