When only 19 he commanded his own vessel.

He then became marine superintendent of the Munson Line and eight years later Joined the American and Cuban Steamship Company In the same capacity. ENTERED FIELD IN 1911 In 1911 Captain McGrath entered the stevedoring field as manager of the North River Stevedoring Company. Later he became president of the Overseas Shipping Company and general manager of the Atlantic Coast Shipping Company. Both of these concerns established notable records In expediting American overseas shipping during the World War. Since 1933 Captain McGrath had been president of the corporation bearing his name, operating in the ports of New York and Albany, and the Atlantic and Gulf concern, operating in Boston, Portland, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk, Newport News, New Orleans, Galveston, Montreal and St.

He visualized submarines and war-planes of belligerent nations lurking off shore to attack ships laden with munitions consigned to the other side. Maloney, discussing opposition contentions that repeal of the rms embargo would be a step toward war, said repeal was being advocated by 40 Senators with sons or other relatives subject to military duty. PRETENDED NEUTRALITT Wrlsh described the administration bill as a form of "pretended" neutrality which he said would aid England and France, by making arms available to them, and would arouse the enmity of Germany, which he argued would be denied those same arms. "If the Central Powers come to despise and hate us for this unneutral position," he said, "Is there any power on earth that will stay their furty and desperation to suppress shipments at the source? This means submarines, even warplanes off our coast, outside our harbors, lying in wait for munltlon-laden ships, sinking them indiscriminately." Henry C. Tichenor, Active in Masonry Henry C.

His telegram informed the county officers that the situation in the club was "intolerable." He sad that the eight members accused of having signed the Communist nominating petition refused to affirm or deny the charges. "Communist stooges Insisted upon a motion to censure the State executive committee," he continued. QUIT MEETING Rlfkln said he ruled that a motion to censure the party's executive committee was out of order and was himself overruled by "Communists who had packed the meeting." He refused to continue to preside during the discussion of the motion to censure the governing body and walked out, he declared.

The motion to censure the executive committee was linked with a proposal to vote down the executive committee's policy and It was the first part of the proposal which he ruled out of order. "I call upon the party officers to discipline the club and eliminate the totalltarlans," his telegram added. Mr.

Rifkin said the original organizers and charter members of the club were supporting his call for disciplinary measures. He said they wanted to continue functioning "free from the destructive tac tics of the Communists who insist upon carrying out their policy of 'rule or ruin." FIGHT FOR BALLOT PLACE Meanwhile the New York State committee of the Communist party announced it would go into court to have Its Council candidates restored to the ballot. Israel Amter, the State chairman, said that in fighting for the reinstatement of Its candidates on the ballot, the party felt that it was "carrying on the struggle for every minority party and progressive organization. In discussing the ruling of the Board of Elections, he declared: "This Is a practical application of the line of the Dies committee to outlaw the Communist party and disfranchise tens of thousands of citizens who are prepared to vote Communist in recognition of the truth of our analysis of the im perialistic war and of our strenuous efforts to keep America out of it."

Awarded $12,500 For Broken Ankle Because a motorman stopped his trolley car on the far side of a crossing, with the result that an alighting passenger was injured by an automobile, a Jury before Justice Joseph Fennelly in Brooklyn Supreme Court today assessed the Brooklyn and Queens Transit Corporation $12,500 and exonerated the driver of the auto from liability. The verdict was for Everett Schladebach, 29, of 8824 24th Ave, whose right ankle was fractured when an- auto driven by Gunnen Mathiesen of 369 87th St, ran over him.

John M. Wilson of 215 Montague St, attorney for the injured man, asked the Jury to hold the auto driver blameless. He contended that the negligence was solely on the part of the motorman for not stopping his trolley car on the near side of the crossing "as required by the ordinances and traffic regulations." Mathiesen told the Jury he did not expect the trolley to stop at the far corner and attempted to pass It just as Schladebach alighted. J. DeLeon Sullivan.
