  • The Atomic Energy Commission
    The Atomic Energy Commission By Alice Buck July 1983 U.S. Department of Energy Office of Management Office of the Executive Secretariat Office of History and Heritage Resources Introduction Almost a year after World War II ended, Congress established the United States Atomic Energy Commission to foster and control the peacetime development of atomic science and technology. Reflecting America's postwar optimism, Congress declared that atomic energy should be employed not only in the Nation's defense, but also to promote world peace, improve the public welfare, and strengthen free competition in private enterprise. After long months of intensive debate among politicians, military planners and atomic scientists, President Harry S. Truman confirmed the civilian control of atomic energy by signing the Atomic Energy Act on August 1, 1946.(1) The provisions of the new Act bore the imprint of the American plan for international control presented to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission two months earlier by U.S. Representative Bernard Baruch. Although the Baruch proposal for a multinational corporation to develop the peaceful uses of atomic energy failed to win the necessary Soviet support, the concept of combining development, production, and control in one agency found acceptance in the domestic legislation creating the United States Atomic Energy Commission.(2) Congress gave the new civilian Commission extraordinary power and independence to carry out its awesome responsibilities. Five Commissioners appointed by the President would exercise authority for the operation of the Commission, while a general manager, also appointed by the President, would serve as chief executive officer. To provide the Commission exceptional freedom in hiring scientists and professionals, Commission employees would be exempt from the Civil Service system.

  • Dixy Lee Ray, Marine Biology, and the Public Understanding of Science in the United States (1930-1970)
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Erik Ellis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the History of Science presented on November 21. 2005. Title: Dixy Lee Ray. Marine Biology, and the Public Understanding of Science in the United States (1930-1970) Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the l950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context for studying and analyzing scientists' motivations during the period of the early Cold War in the United States. The dissertation is informed throughout by the notion that science is a deeply embedded aspect of Western culture. To understand American science and society in the mid twentieth century it is instructive, then, to analyze individuals who were seen as influential and who reflected widely held cultural values at that time. Dixy Lee Ray was one of those individuals. Yet, instead of remaining a prominent and enduring figure in American history, she has disappeared rapidly from historical memory, and especially from the history of science. It is this very characteristic of reflecting her time, rather than possessing a timeless appeal, that makes Ray an effective historical guide into the recent past. Her career brings into focus some of the significant ways in which American science and society shifted over the course of the Cold War. Beginning with Ray's early life in West Coast society of the1920sandl930s, this study traces Ray's formal education, her entry into the professional ranks of marine biology and the crucial role she played in broadening the scope of biological oceanography in the early1960s.The dissertation then analyzes Ray's efforts in public science education, through educational television, at the science and technology themed Seattle World's Fair, and finally in her leadership of the Pacific Science Center.

  • Meet the Neighbors
    IT'S 1 972 ... MEET THE NEIGHBORS 2) JOYCE SIMMONS CHEEKA (Jan 31. 1901 Mud Bay - July 1974 Olympia) For Joyce Cheeka's ancestors, who did not have a written language, knowledge was passed on through stories and recollections told by a chosen member of the tribe called "The Rememberer." Like her grandfather, Mud Bay Sam, Joyce was chosen to be 'The Rememberer" for the Squaxin Tribe. In 1964 she co-wrote her life stories with a children's dramatist named Werdna Finley. From Joyce's book, titled "As My Sun Now Sets, 11 excerpts were taken and turned into a play, which was performed at the Seattle Children's Theater in March of 1994. Today, The Rememberer is presented in schools across the nation. When Joyce was ten she was forcibly taken from her home and put in a government boarding school. School officials tried to "help her blend into society" by forbidding her to use her native customs or language. But Joyce refused to let her spirit be broken, and through this experience, she learned that she could make friends in different societies and serve as a bridge between them. Joyce attended Willamette University, and later returned to Washington to assist ethnologists studying Native American customs. Her marriage to Ernest Cheeka, a member of the Makah Tribe, took her to Neah Bay for a number of years. During this time she organized an Indian shell jewelry business, gave lectures, and with her children, performed traditional Makah dances. Later, Joyce became a lecturer and professor at the University of Washington in Salish languages.
