Frank Leo "Howlin'" Howley (February 3, 1903 - July 30, 1993) was a United States Army Brigadier General and subsequently an administrator at New York University. Howley served as commandant of the American sector of Berlin after World War II, when the city was broken and in dire need of being restored. He became known as ''Howlin' Howley'' because of his interminable and intractable interactions with the Soviets.〔Daring Young Men: The Heroism and Triumph of The Berlin Airlift, Richard Reeves, 2010, page 76〕〔The Berlin Airlift: Breaking the Soviet Blockade, Michael Burgan, 2008, page 32〕 ==Early life== He was born in Hampton, New Jersey, and was educated at the Parsons School of Fine and Applied Arts in New York City. Howley also attended classes in business and art at the Sorbonne in Paris, and graduated with a B.S. degree in economics from New York University (NYU).〔Berlin Command, Brig. General Frank Howley, 1950, page 19 and back cover〕 At NYU he played football for the Violets at the positions of left end and placekicker. Although the team was then mediocre at best (1922-1924), Howley gained notoriety for his kicking expertise, and a nickname to match, ''Golden Toe''. During his senior year, in a 41-3 loss to Rutgers, Howley’s field goal accounted for their only score. He was also a baseball and track and field athlete.〔(Bill Shannon Biographical Dictionary of New York Sports—Frank Howley ).

Howley & Associates, and gained business nationwide despite the ongoing economic depression.〔(A Four Year Report, Office of Military Government U.S. Sector, Berlin, 01JUL45-01SEP49, page 5 ).
