Turman received word of the award while attending thelaunching of his company’s eighth new $10 million Cargo-liner Jean Lykes at the Sparrows Point, Md., shipyard of the]]ethlehem Steel Company.

The annual award is sponsored by the American Legionand the official announcement was made by CommanderWillis N. Rogers of Rohert L. Hague Merchant Marine In-dustries Post No. 1242 in New York. The first award wasmade in 1956.

Turman, a memher of the internationally famous Lykesshipping family, said Commander Rogers, is unquestionablyone of the most dedicated men in world shipping today andcertainly one of the foremost men identified with the Ameri-can Merchant Marine.

"’l,vkes Bros.

This is the largest venture of itskind e~er undertaken by a shipping line in the history ofthe American Merchant Marine."
