Pro- | require a higher degree of THE EVENING The War on Smugglers Coast Guards Have Duties Full of Hardships W hich Require High Degree of Real Seamanship. ‘This is the fourth and last of a series of lnlc!!t on activities of the United States Coast Guard. BY IVAN H. PETERMAN, CAPE MAY, N. J, Mnury 27.—In 1790, when George Washington was ent, pirates and smugglers worked a profitable “racket” al the unpro- tected coast line of the United States. ‘The Continental Navy disbarded after the Revolution, and with the Nation's credit unestablished it remained for Gh. Unlud States Revenue Cutter Serv- to rescue commerce and the customs The service continued until 1915, when it was combined with the Life- saving Service as the Coast Guard. Briefly, the duties of the Coast Guard as provided by acts of Congress from noo 1o the present are: g vessels in distress. 2. Remm'mg derelicts from paths of navigation. 3. Enforcement of anchorage laws. 4. International ice patrol. 5. Enforcement of navigation laws Dem to merchant vessels, m'cemenl. of quarantine and uuwlmy M mutinies on merchant . Patrolling regattas. Protection of game seal flnheflu enforcement of lponn-mshlnz lll Protection of Tventy-four hours a day, every day of the year, Coast Guard men and ves- sels patrol the waters surrounds the Nation, its Alaskan territory and the great lakes, performing the duties out- lined above, says Rear Admiral F. Bmlrd. head of the service: “There is no seagoing force any- where that has duties more arduous, hazardous and full of hardships or that seaman- ship than those of the Coast Guard. ““The Coast Guard is not any way with enforcement of the na- tional prohibition act. It is charged, and has been since its creation, with protection of the customs laws and the prevention of smuggling into the United States. It has upheld and defended the Constitution sin customs revenue of the United States, nor does it dl!- cuss or qnelfinn their wisdom or their l hlblt of mind develmd by an honorable Wry of 139 years, 'hen any task perform, whether ":‘el:u\em or '{mt wi popular or not, it simply gives a saflorman’s answer, ‘Aye, aye, a‘. carries on.” ‘To accomplish the work of the Coast Guard there were, on June 30, 1929, 10,837 enlisted men in the Coa:t Guard, 242 civilian employes, 402 temporary and warrant officers, 389 regular war- rant officers, 77 chief warrant officers, 73 cadets in the Coast Guard Academy at New London, Conn.; 62 temporary commissioned officers and 333 regularly | gp, The C-Il Glllrl Fleet. ‘There were 21 cruising cutters, first class, having from 1,400 to 2,000 tons displacement; 15 second-class cutters, 25 destroyers turned over by the Nav 39 tugs and launches, 5 miscellaneous })ltrol boats, 194 of the standard 75- oot patrol boats, thirteen 100-footers and thirty-three 125-foot patrol boats. There also were 11 patrol boats ac- quired seizure and forfeit. The Guard has seaplanes, Gloucester, Mass., and 2 at Cape May. ‘These men and equipment opera out of 277 lifée-saving stations from Maine around the coast to the tip of ‘There to that at Cape What ‘type men does the Coast Guard attract? The age limits ure 18 to 36, with the mmty of men apparently under 325. huthe same as in the Navy; percentage of men their families “vl.n‘ at un bases. “It's better than the Navy, because ’“ln | travel transfers are avallable at the !'end of enlistment,” one man told me. The men seem contented with life at Cape May, which in Winter is none t00 exciting, few during their periodic leaves going farther than Atlantic City, Philadelph'a and New York. That they are gzealous and alert to duty is evident during trips such as I made and described earlier in this series. Only the officers seem aware of the possibility of encountering a smuggler; the men merely carry out orders. It is evident that the old rule about a dollar-a-day man in Government. service being usually more dependable and impervious to ‘“handling” than others holds true in the Coast Guard as in the Navy, the Marines and the Army. Tell a sailor, a Marine or: a doughboy to do a job, and he does it; likewise the Coast Guard. Difficulties arise, often of stern na- ture. Smuggling along the Gulf Coast, for instance, is no child’s pllx no mere matter of a few cases of has been evidence that aliens, ncn as Chlneu. belnc brought into the country immigration contrary laws, have been '!llhwd and q\lmly slipped ovet- board as the Coast .fi.tml ap- proached. Those who will a man over the side to his death are not exactly companionable to deal with. Often “he work is discouraging, 'fl William H. Shea, commander of Cape May L1se, poinud out. ‘“We have seen cases,” he said, “where selzures of men and boats with cargoes were made only to languish for as long as two years, while court delays allowed wit- nesses to disappear, men to leave the service and the gulilty ones to roam at C-| will on bond. “We have also seen boats, released under & $10,000 bund, return to smug- gling while awaiting disposition of the casc. One Hope Against Smuggling. “Our ‘only hope to eradicate liquor smuggling is to knock the profit out of it. If a smuggler can land three or four consignments of contraband his outlay is paid for and the rest is pure profit. On the other hand, if we can capture his speedboat and cargo or force him to lie offshore until he gives up and goes away, the victory is ours. “Rum Row has ceased to exist. There are no more lines of anchored ships out- side the limit. Some, of course, will get rid of their loads. The coast is long. But we hope to make the whole thing 10|50 unprofitable that it will die out.” Economy is observed in the Coast Guard most rigidly. Surplus Army and Navy supplies, such as motors, planes and parts, are nuo for building craft. ‘There were neal a score of Liberty engines on hand IQ base 9, Cape May. One was being used in an amphibian plane, while others could be put into swift speedboats. An oll-distilling plant, which takes discarded motor oils and refines them into highly efficient lubricant, is also on the men. Everybody “it’s his neck” if he falls, And lastly, there is romance in the Coast Guard., What more pictura du!y could one t Alaska, taking judge, attorney, blmfll and other officers to try cases of capital mature out where cmll.—t\on ends?
