With McCarthy Still Unchecked By L. P. Wheeler The Army-McCarthy hearings closed June 17 after piling up 36 days of solid evidence that a fascist movement called McCarthyism has sunk roots deep into the govern­ ment and the military. For 36 days McCarthy paraded before some 20,000,000 TV viewers as the self-appointed custodian of America’s security.

  • ITALIANS in the UNITED STATES DURING WORLD WAR II Mary
    LAW, SECURITY, AND ETHNIC PROFILING: ITALIANS IN THE UNITED STATES DURING WORLD WAR II Mary Elizabeth Basile Chopas A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Wayne E. Lee Richard H. Kohn Eric L. Muller Zaragosa Vargas Heather Williams ©2013 Mary Elizabeth Basile Chopas ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mary Elizabeth Basile Chopas: Law, Security, and Ethnic Profiling: Italians in the United States During World War II (under the direction of Wayne E. Lee) The story of internment and other restrictions during World War II is about how the U.S. government categorized persons within the United States from belligerent nations based on citizenship and race and thereby made assumptions about their loyalty and the national security risk that they presented. This dissertation examines how agencies of the federal government interacted to create and enact various restrictions on close to 700,000 Italian aliens residing in the United States, including internment for certain individuals, and how and why those policies changed during the course of the war. Against the backdrop of wartime emergency, federal decision makers created policies of ethnic-based criteria in response to national security fears, but an analysis of the political maturity of Italian Americans and their assimilation into American society by World War II helps explain their community’s ability to avoid mass evacuation and internment. Based on the internment case files for 343 individuals, this dissertation provides the first social profile of the Italian civilian internees and explains the apparent basis for the government’s identification of certain aliens as “dangerous,” such as predilections for loyalty to Italy and Fascist beliefs, as opposed to the respectful demeanor and appreciation of American democracy characterizing potentially good citizens.

  • Background Guide for Elaboration on This System and Its History
    1 Note from the Crisis Director Hello delegates! My name is Amelia Benich and I’ll be your CD for FCMUN. I am ecstatic to finally get to run this JCC and I hope you are as excited as I am. This is my final FCMUN as I graduate in May and I am determined to make it the best crisis committee to ever be run...or close. I have done Model UN every year I have been in college and have been in so many crisis committees as a delegate I recently had to be reminded of all of them. With this experience both as a delegate and having run 3 committees before both at FCMUN and abroad at LSE’s conference, I can assure you I’ve seen it all and am preparing to stop the common committee frustrations before they begin. As you prepare for the conference, I want you to be fully aware of the parameters of our note system before you plan out a crisis arc. Electronic notes will speed things up, however for this committee to keep things running smoothly, there will be an approximate word limit for notes. Try to keep all notes around 250 words or less (about two paragraphs/a page double spaced), and expect each committee session to get approximately 3 notes answered, meaning your crisis arc should be accomplished in 12-15 notes, assuming notes get shorter and more direct towards the end. Of course, I will do my best to answer faster and get more notes through, but this is to help you both plan effectively and also stay engaged in-room as well.

  • The Roots of Post-Racial Neoliberalism in Blacklist Era Hollywood
    The Roots of Post-Racial Neoliberalism in Blacklist Era Hollywood A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Andrew Paul IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Lary May, Tracey Deutsch March 2014 © Andrew Paul 2014 Acknowledgements Writing this dissertation would not have been possible without the support of countless others. First, I acknowledge the generosity of my dissertation committee. My advisors, Lary May and Tracey Deutsch offered enthusiastic guidance, criticism, and support. Lary’s own contributions to the historiography of the blacklist were second in value only to his personal attention to my work, and his questions yielded important research leads. Tracey helped me to think across sub-fields and pushed me to improve my writing. Both of them encouraged me to take intellectual risks and to make bold claims and interventions. Elaine Tyler May, Riv-Ellen Prell, and Malinda Lindquist all shaped my development as a scholar as well. With thoughtful and critical attention to my writing, they challenged me to clarify my ideas and helped me to see how my work was entering different conversations, and how it might stand to enter others. It was a privilege to be able to discuss my ideas with this committee. I was awarded generous financial sums from the University of Minnesota’s Harold Leonard Memorial Film Studies Fellowship and the University of Minnesota Foundation, which allowed me travel to archives in California, Wisconsin, and New York. In these locales, at the Charles Young Research Library at the University of California Los Angeles, the Margaret Herrick Library and the Paley Center for Media, both located in Beverly Hills, the Wisconsin State Historical Society in Madison, and at the Center for Jewish History in New York City, numerous archivists assisted me in my work., and for this I owe them my gratitude.

INTRODUCTION On September 30, 1952 an attorney appeared before the House Subcommittee on Un-American Activities in Los Angeles as an extremely hostile witness. Ben Margolis, prominent labor lawyer and well-known radical, vehemently refused to answer nearly every question Chairman John S. Wood put forth to him. When asked if he knew Edward Dmytryk, one of the first "unfriendly witnesses" to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee (H.U.A.C.) in Washington in 1947 who later recanted and named names, Margolis responded by stating, "Unfortunately he has become a member of your stable. I refuse to answer on the ground that it would tend to degrade me by association with any such person."' When "J.D. candidate, UCLA School of Law, 2001. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Ben Margolis, Patricia Bosworth, Ellenore Bogigian Hittelman, Ring Lardner, Jr., Ann Fagan Ginger, and Michael O'Malley.

  • Biography of Elmer Eugene Lore Sr
    Biography of Elmer Eugene Lore Sr. (1892-1946) By: Ryan Delaway, Historian With contributions by Historians: Emily Yeseta, Dylan Beltran, and Frank Allison Elmer Eugene Lore was born in the village of Du Bois, in the southeast corner of Pawnee County, Nebraska on August 23, 1892. Lore was born to his loving parents, Charles Francis Lore (1860-1930) and Sarah T. Potts Lore (1868-1938). He grew up in this small town and eventually moved to Kansas where he met his wife, Mabel Sarah Clay (1885-1955), while working at the Emporia Gazette alongside the legendary, William Allen White (1868-1944, renowned American newspaper editor, author, politician, and leader of the Progressive Movement). Like many Midwesterners, Elmer was drawn to California. However, while most Midwesterners in the first decades of the 20th century were attracted to California because of real estate possibilities, landscapes and weather, Lore moved his family to the West Coast in 1918 for his wife’s health. Lore’s family had grown and would continue to grow to include his sons Francis (1917-2000) and Elmer “Gene” Jr., as well as his daughter, Leah. The Lore family settled into their new home in North Hollywood, Los Angeles County, California. Elmer quickly found employment as a linotype operatorLos Angeles at the Record. As evidenced by his collection of documents, Lore was a member of the Linotype Operators Union for approximately thirty years, of which approximately eighteen years was spent in the actual profession. It was not until he entered the political arena however, that it appears Lore found his true niche.

    ‘This Ruinous Element’: African and Mexican Americans as ‘Racial Problems’ in early 20th Century California Margarita Aragon Goldsmiths College University of London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Sociology February 2013 1 I affirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Signed ________________________ Date__________________ 2 Acknowledgments I would first like to thank my supervisors, Ben Gidley and Brett St. Louis, without whom I literally would never have been able to do this. I will always be grateful for their support, encouragement, and mentoring. They have helped me not only with this thesis but also to grow as a sociologist. I hope that this work does them justice. I also thank my mother for her immense support, not least of which includes proofreading every page of this project. I doubt anyone will ever enjoy reading it as much as she has. Thanks also to my husband (who has enjoyed reading it a little less) for the many, many weekends and evenings in which he has taken care of our children and done all the cooking and cleaning on his own so that I could work. I also appreciate my sister and all of the others who have helped in this regard: my mother-in-law Ginie, Ruby, Anne, and Lena. I thank my father for giving me my first lesson in sociology. Finally, I thank my children, Aella, Gabriel and Peter. You have made this take twice as long but have made life along the way immeasurably more enjoyable. I hope that if you read this one day, you will be proud.
