‘THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Frank ig Navy Head, Dies
~ Af His Home i

almost a swashbuckling figure. He rode with “Teddy” Roosevelt's Rough Riders in Cuba. When the United States entered world war I, he went overseas as a captain of cavalry, a commission he received in 1917. In France, Knox commanded a section of the 78th division's ammunition train. His outfit fought through some of the bloodiest battles of that war, including St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne.
Surviving Knox are his widow, the former Annie Reid, and his three sisters, Mrs. Herbert L. Fairfield of Dayton, O., and Miami, Fla.; Mrs. Fred Reed of Chicago, and Miss Elizabeth Knox of Grand Rapids, Mich. ; At Knox's bedside when he died were Mrs. Knox, Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Ralph A. Bard; Assistant Secretary of the Treasury John - L. Sullivan; Dr. Fresh Bushmeyer, pastor of the Mt. Pleasant Congregational church; John F. O'Keefe, vice president of the Chicago Daily News, and Capt. Lyman S. Perry, aide to the secretary. Forrestal’s Dispatch
Forrestal's dispatch to all navy stations said that “the navy has suffered a great loss.” “Throughout his entire career in public life, in journalism, in-’the armed services, and as secretary of the navy ‘he has devoted himself unremitiingly and without reserve
3 the best interests of his counry
Poher Adar oct ral Codosiar [ said. “His active Teadership during the current struggle has been an inspiration which will be sorely ‘missed.” . Knox's death also was announced to all naval personnel establishments ashore and afloat all over the {world in a dispatch signed by Forrestal.

Colors at Half Mast
Forrestal directed that the colors ‘be displayed at half-mast on all {ships and at all shore establish{ments of the navy until sunset on |the day of burial which will be announced later. He also directed {that, to the extent permitted by | war operations, special memorial | services be conducted on “an ap- | propriate day.” “Because the nation is at war, the {firing of salutes and the wearing of {mourning badges shall be dispensed with,” the dispatch said.
carried the news to thousands of navy employees in their offices and at lunch in navy cafeterias over town,
Ignores Illness
The navy said that the first heart attack last Sunday was diagnosed {as coronary occlusion. Nevertheless, Knox left Manchester for New York that evening. That night, while in New York, he had what he thought was an attack of indigestion. He went on to Washington by train Monday, telling acquaintances he felt better. But on Tuesday morning, about {two hours after he arrived at his office in the navy department, he showed evidence of further illness. He returned to his home and suffered a more severe heart attack while going to bed Tuesday afternoon. ] Knox was christened William Franklin, but he preferred his nickname, Frank, and used it for his official signatures. . As a disciple of Theodore Roosevelt, Knox was a firm advocate of a big navy.. When he became secretary, the fleet numbered only 344 combat ships. Although various programs of expansion were under way at the time, Knox felt they were not emough and he fought vigorously for more and more fighting ships. This year, the fleet is scheduled to attain a strength of approximately 1000 combat ships. Knox's friendliness was one of his outstanding characteristics. He was an inveterate joke-trader, but was not much of a party-goer.
Disliked Quibblers
Knox spoke frankly and was impatient with quibblers. He was first to disclose the heavy U. S. losses at Tarawa. And first to reveal that

alert at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack. He was one of the few cabinet officers in Washington who met with the press as often as twice a week. Knox was probably the mosttraveled war cabinet member of all time. He went to Pearl” Harbor for a personal inspection immediately after the Japanese attack. He flew to South America, t¢ North Africa and Italy, and to the South ‘Pacific. He - underwent bombing raids at Guadalcanal and Espiritu Santo and watched the German retreat from Naplés from a small navdl craft within sight of the shores.
Lotig Newspaper Career
A proponent of naticnal prepar-| edness, Knox was one of the most active supporters of the proposed trans-Arabian pipeline. He favored | compulsory military training in| peacetime and a national service | act in wartime. | Born in' Boston, on Jan. 1, 1874, the son of William Edwin Knox and, Sarah Barnard Knox, he moved during his boyhood to Grand| Rapids, Mich. He was graduated from Alma college. | Knox formerly was city editor of | the Grand Rapids Herald, .and| owner of the Sault St., Marie| (Mich) Journal and News-Record. | Subsequently he became publisher |

papers and publisher of the Hearst | Boston papers, the American and | Daily Advertiser. He resigned in December, 1930, and in August, 1931, became pub- | lisher of the Chicago Daily News.
Sought Vice Presidency |
After serving in the Spanish-/ American war, Knox became chair-| man of the Michigan Republican committee and was vice chairman | of Theodore Roosevelt's campaign | committee in 1912. He followed Roosevelt into the Progressive party | and was head of the Michigan delegation to the party’s Chicago convention in August, 1912. After Roosevelt's defeat by the; late Woodrow Wilson, Knox re- | turned to the Republican party and in 1936 sought the vice presidency as running mate to former Gov-| ernor Alf M. Landon of Kansas, the Republican candidate for presi-
|
dent. He campaigned vigorously but, with Landon, was overwhelm- | ingly defeated.
