Captain Dies
Yonkers, N.Y.. July 5 m
Capt. George Fried, 71, master
of some of America's biggest
ocean liners, died yesterday,
Captain of the old Leviathan,
America, George Washington
and President Roosevelt, Fried
was a central figure in many
thrilling sea rescues.
While he captained the old
America, the ship rescued 32
men from the Italian freighter
Florida in a gale off Virginia.
In command of the President
Roosevelt in 1926, he went to
the aid of the stricken British
freighter Antinoe in a North At
lantic gale, and lost two of his
crew rescuing the freighter's
company.
In 1932, two years before he
retired, Fried took the Roose
velt to the rescue of Lou Reich
ers, forced down in the sea by
a cracked wing when he tried
Jio fly the Atlantic.
'"Fried became supervising in
spector of the U.S. bureau of
navigation and steamboat .in
spection after his retirement.

It was a favorite field for the
agent who signed up clients for
five per cent of the value of
any bovernment contract he ob

dozen officials and lobbyists
who operate on a fixed fee basis
was prompted by recent stor

activities of James V. Hunt, a
former lieutenant-colonel In the
army quartermaster general's
office, later a WAA official, and
more recently a management
counselor.
To get a general picture of
the present activities of these

"influence" with Washington
