COAST GUARD PILOTS HANDLED 12O,OOO WAR ASSIGNMENTS

WASHINGTON - The nations $50 State-licensed harbor pilots who have been in Coast Guard uniforms since December, 1922, are returning to civilian garb on November 30. It will be a quiet, swiftly effected demobilization and the pilots will take with them commendatory well done" for the job they have done in the war.
 During 1944 the pilots handled 100000 assignments without a sin gle major casualty. In one month at one east coast port 2,800 ships were handled by no pilots; at a west coast part 1,200 ships were handled by 30 pilots; and a South Atlantic port 400 vessels were handled by 9 pilots.
 Back in August, 1942, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, asked the Commandant of the Coast Guard to make a study with a view to bringing the pilots at all ports in the country under mili- tary control. To make this study, a commission consisting of Army, Navy, War Shipping Administra- ton, and Maritime Commission representatives was appointed. The Commissions recommenda- tions that the pilots be inducted into the Coast Guard Temporary Reserve, to serve without pay while continuing to collect their regular fees, and that the pilots charge only half the regular fee for vessels taking refuge, were ac- cepted immediately by the pilots associations.
 Most of the pilots were com misSioned as lieutenant command CTS. To head all pilots during their tour of military service, the com mandant appointed John s. Del ano, president of the American Pilots Association, with the rank of captain.
 American pilots on the eastern seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico are the products of long and tough apprenticeships, and many of to- days apprentices are the sons and grandsons of pilots. Only on the West Coast do the pilots associa- tions lose some of this family at mosphere.
 During peacetime the pilot car ries a heavy responsibility, be- cause on his skill and intimate knowledge of navigation hazards depends the safe passage of a ship to its berth.
