163rd Anniversary For
Coast Guard

Throughout the nation on Au-
gust 4, the approximately $4,000
active members of the Coast Guard
will celebrate the 16Srd Anniver-
saTy of the Service.
Founded as the u. S. Revenue
Marine in 1890, by first Secretary
of the Treasury Alexander Ham
iltOn, the Coast Guard qualities as
the nations oldest seagOing force.
Throughout it's history it's officers
and men, who reached a wartime
peak of $4,000 during World War
II, have been devoted to service of
humanity.
Automatically a member of the
Armed Fbrces during war or ma
tiOnal emergency, the Coast Guard
remains an agency of the Treasury
Department during peace. AS such,
it has been ordered by Secretary
George M. Humphreys to carry out
one of the most extensive programs
in its history.
Coast Guard cutters on the At
lantic and Pacific provide trans
ocean ships and aircraft with vital
navigatiOnal and meteorological
support. Air and sea units patrol
hundreds of thousands of square
miles around the nations shore
lines in rescue and assistance
work. During the years since 1914,
when the International Ice Patrol
was placed under Coast Guard jur-
isdictiOn, not a life has been lost
through collision of a ship with an
iceberg.
Around the cOuntry's harbors
and inland waterways, the Service
maintains approximately 10000
| aids to navigation. Life boat and
/ light stations along all shOrelines
stand ready to aid those in dis
| tress.
In addition to these long-estab-
lished activities, the Coast Guard
now operates a port security pro-
gram encOmpassing zen major
port areas, including New York
and Philadelphia. The program is
divided into four parts-screening
OF seamen and longshoremen for
possible subversives, supervision
of explosives handling, guarding
OF restricted areas, and general Sc
curity, which includes ship in
spections.
COmmandant of the Coast Guard.
recently appointed for a second
term, is Vice Admiral Merlin o.
Neill. Commander of the Third
District and Eastern Area. with
headquarters in New York. is
Rear Admiral Louis B. Olson.
