COAST GUARD LOG
WRITES SPEECH
FOR THE ADMIRAL
Admiral Joseph Greenspun had
set. down general facts about the
United States Coast Guard for a
speech today, and was wondering
which vivid incidents to use in
illustrating his talk.
"Then things began to pop," he
said this noon. "From then on, the
Coast Guard itself wrote this
speech.”
In observance of the Coast Guard's
150th anniversary August 4, the
lt7h District commander was guest
speaker today at the Kiwanis Club
luncheon meeting in the Baranof
Gold Room.
The admiral described last week
end.
“It started peacefully,” he said,
"with the Stories and the 83-footer
assigned to the Salmon Derby. Then
the U.S. Air Force C-54 was lost
and the Storis was pulled away to
join the search Also rushed to the
search area were the buoy-tender
Citrus, which was installing aids to
navigation near Cross Sound, and
the patrol boat Cahoone, engaged
in small-arms target practice near
Ketchikan.
"In rapid-fire order came the
next incidents. A fishing vessel went
on the rocks at Prince of Wales Is
land—the buoy-tender White Holly
was dispatched. Came an emergency
call to evacuate a man who had
deeply gashed his leg with an axe—
a Coast Guard airplane took off
from Annette.
A iisning vessel went —
the Thistle pulled her off. The 83
footer left the Derby to tow the
fishing vessel Tacora from near
Funter Bay. The personnel of the
Sentinal Island light station towed
another disabled vessel in.
“Then, last night,. a call came
from Yakobi Island that a man was
bleeding to death. An Annette Is
land plane was rushed to him, with
Dr. Joseph Rude aboard, but the
man died before help could reach
him."
In quick review, Admiral Green
spun had traced the growth of the
Coast Guard from the time when,
on recommendation of Alexander
Hamilton, first Secretary of the
Treasury, Congress authorized con
struction of ten boats to stamp out
smuggling and collect customs.
“For eight years then,” he said,
“that little fleet of revenue cutters
was the country’s only naval f/rce."
He told of amalgamating the old
revenue cutter, lighthouse, lifesav
ing and steamboat inspection serv
ices into the Coast Guard; of the
Service’s regular, reserve and aux
iliary organizations; its responsibil
ities t6 administer artd promulgati
regulations for marine safety; it:
ship-building and repair installa
tions, cadet and specialist training
He mentioned that, in the past
year, the Coast Guard has saved
from peril or the lives of 5,500 per
sons, and saved or protected prop
erty worth more than $200,000,000
This, he said, greatly exceeded the
appropriation for the Coast Guard.
It was the CG cutter Lincoln
which brought the first United
States officials to Alaska in 1867
at the time of the purchase, after
which the Service’s flag was for
many years the symbol of govern
ment.
Most famous cutter, he recalled
was the Bear, which served for 41
years in the Bering Sea. The Ad
miral described two spectacular res
cues and the work of the Bering
Sea Patrol.
In Kiwanis Club matters, Larry
Parker called attention to the fine
record of Juneau in the Alaska Tu
berculosis Association annual report,
and the club applauded the work of
Dr. H. G. Harris, chairman and his
Kiwanis solicitors for the downtown
district.
Edward Zigler was the only guest.

Mf. Pavlof
Is Erupting
ANCHORAGE. Alaska, Aug. 2 —
(41—1Volcanic Mount Pavlof was re
ported belching smoke, ash and
lava yesterday.
Frank Brink, radio station KENI
employe, brought the report back
to Anchorage after a flight around
the mountain. The 8,900-foot peak
is near the tip of the Alaska pen
insula, where it reaches out to the
Aleutian Island chain.
Brink said he circled the mount
ain in a Reeve Airways plane. He
reported the northwest side of the
cone was in active eruption, throw
ing a black column of smoke, like
an atomic bomb cloud, 20,000 feet
into the air.
The volcano was last active in
1937, when it showered the sur
rounding region with ash.

(By Associated Press)
' British Air Secretary Arthur
Henderson told American airmen
today that U. S. fighters and bomb
I ers will remain in Britain indefi
nitely.
On a tour of American Air rorce
13-29 bomber and P-84 jet fighter

Henderson said American warplanes
will stay as long as it is desirable
in the interests of common defense.
There are 100 B-29 bombers and

size of footprints they found in
southern Argentina, called the place
Patagonia, or ‘‘land of the big
reet.”
