 The Bureau said the gain in 1946 was due chiefly to the steady eX pansion of placer gold operations and to substantial increase in Coal production, which was en- couraged by the West Coast ship ping strike.
 Non metal minerals declined 86 percent from 1945.
 Silver output in the Territory last year was 29053 fine ounces worth e23 479 compared with 9,983 ounces worth s7,oe9 n 1945.

COAST GUARD IS
 B YEARS OLD ON
 TUESDAY, JAN. 2S

Tomorrow, January 2s, is the 32nd anniversary of the consolida- ton oI the Life-Saving Service and the Revenue Cutter Service to form the U. s. Coast Guard.
 The creation of the U. s. Coast Guard was the first of a series of legislative and administrative steps to consolidate under single agency of the Federal government of the furtherance of maritime safety for all vessels and their personnel on U. s. territorial waters and on the high seas, and the responsibility for law enforcement on navigable waters of the U. s.
 Succeeding steps were the con- solidation of the Lighthouse Ser vice with the Coast Guard in 1889 and the assumption of certain du- ties of the Bureau of Marine In- specticn and Navigation ol the De- partment of Commerce in l942.
 On April 4, 1912, President Taft sent to Congress a message, trans mitting with his approval a report of the Presidents Commission on Economy and Efficiency. This re- port recommended consolidation or the Life-Saving Service of the Treasury Department with the Bu- reau of Lighthouse, then in the Department of Commerce and La DOT.
 The report also proposed that the Revenue Cutter Service oi the Treasury Department be abolished and its functions and equipment be allocated among other services re- quiring the use of marine craft" notably the Lighthouse Service, the Bureau of Fisheries, and the Navy Department. Neither of these pro- posals was adopted by the Con- greSS
 Instead, Senator Charles E. Townsend of Michigan introduced a bill on June 5, 1912, to consoli- date the Life-Saving Service and the Revenue Cutter Service, both of the Treasury Department, under the name of the Coast Guard. ThiS measure became law on January 2S, 1915.
 As result of the 1915 and sub- sequent developments, the Coast Guard has become the single sea- going safety agency of the Govern ment.
 In Alaska, since the territory was purchased from Russia in 1867. the Coast Guard has been successful in lending administrative and other assistance to virtually all Govern ment agencies operating in that territory.
 In the field of maritime safety, great strides have been made since 1915 in perfecting the technique of life saving. At present the Search and Rescue units of the Coast Guard constitute the nucleus for a highly perfected mechanism for the rescue of distressed craft. The sensational helicopter rescues in l945 and 1946 are evidence of the efficiency the service has attained.
 Since 1889 the Coast Guard has been instrumental in extending the number of buoys, lighthouses, and other aids to marine navigation. During the war, the development of the electronic aid-to-navigation Loran by the Coast Guard made 1t possible for fliers and navigators of ships to know their position at all times

Driver Who Failed
To Stop in Fatality
Case Wins AcquittaI

A man who admittedly left the
scene of an accident without waiting
to find out what he had struck was
one of two men acquitted in Upper
Marlboro Police Court yesterday on
manslaughter charges in connection
with the traffic deaths of two
pedestrians.
The man, Chester L. Friedman, 80
OF 507 Sixty ninth street, Seat Pleas
ant. had been charged by Prince
Georges County police with man
slaughter, resulting from the death
Of 60-year-old retired telegrapher
Of Maryland Park, August 30.
Trial Magistrate Arthur P. Owens,
however, imposed a 500 fine for
leaving the scene of an accident and
another for $50 for reckless driving
by colliding. A fourth charge, for
failing to identify himself at the
time of the accident, was merged
with the hit-and-run charge by mu-
tual consent of Assistant States At
torney Harvey G. Machen and Frank
M. Hall, Friedman's attorney.
Judge Sees Callousness.
In passing sentence, Judge Owens
ruled there was no evidence of
gross negligence" on the part OF
the convicted hit-and-run driver
The judge added, however, he could
not understand how man can 60

ting man."
you must be very callous," the
jurist told Friedman.
Friedman said he was travelling
about rs miles per hour when some
trouble developed in the car. He
said he looked under the dashboard
to see what was causing the trouble
and, a moment later, heard a thud
He told the court he was unaware
he had hit any one. He said he
played poker until 7:30 am.
Victim Found Unconscious
County police testified glass on q
shattered side window ventilator on
Friedman's car matched fragments
Of glass found at Addison road and
Linwood avenue, Seat Pleasant,
where Edward H. Hayes of the 200
block Of Sixty fifth street, Maryland
Park. was found unconscious. Mr..
Hayes died about 10 hours later in
Prince Georges General Hospital,
Cheverly.
The second man acquitted of
manslaughter was Charles R. Ecu
ner. 66, of Highland Park, Pa, who
had been charged with striking Vim
cent Ring, 6, of Priests Bridge, Md,
as the boy crossed the Grain high
way in front of his home September
S. The young victim died en- route
to the Annapolis Hospital.
AS in the previous case, Judge
Owens said there was no gross neg
ligence" and that "inasmuch as the
driver stopped after the accident
and did what he could to assist" he
should be freed.

About $500 scholarships for the

the Navy.
Nationwide aptitude tests will be
given in December in $50 cities to

Under the program the young
men agree to serve a minimum Of
