E interest and attention. T "Madrid, April 194?: "The North American senator, Mr. Vandenber;, has recendly received a deluge of letters denouncing Communist activities in Central America and the Antilles, "In Cuba, there has been discovered e dnnzerous Comintern center, in Haiti several Communist agents have been held, in Nicaragua, during the recent elections, activities of Bolshevique sic! origin were noted, and Mexico continues as one of Stalin&#39;s principal points of support. "In Mexico, the Communists even took advantage of President Truman&#39;s recent visit to that country to manifest their opposition towards the United States. Ther has also been news regordin: mysterious eras shipments is southern Mexico, in Briti Honduras and in other points in Central America, There have been unmistakable Uoumunist disturbances in Trinidad and in other British islands in the Caribbean. All this indicates once more that "Moscow points towards Panama and those lan wnich are the weakest point in our belt," as writes one of the most important American newspaper writers in pugilistic language. Qpncrete denunciations have been made recently by the ex-President of Guaten ceneral*Ponce, declaring iron his enile in Mexico that there exists a vast Gon- munist&#39;plen to take over Central America, in which the present_Cbnmhnist government of Guatemala will play an important role, He points to the_r§bent&#39;discovereies of contraband arms as part of the Moscow plot to overthrow the governments of Honduras El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, ," &#39; Even though the article in question, issued by the United Press, did not expressly say so, we know that General Ponce accuses the Guatemalan ambassador in Washington, GarciayGranados, of being the representative of the Kremlin in all these actions, 1 s I N. ; ¢~ This accusation dais not surprise us, as Garcia Granados:is an intimate frien oft iral and Alvarer del Vayo.

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.

To My Parents PREFACE The birth of the State of Israel on May 15, 1948, marked the climax of a vigorous campaign launched some six years earlier by world Zionism in the Biltmore Pro¬ gram. At the Biltmore Conference the Zionists had reason to proclaim openly their political intentions before the American public. Although political Zionism had long pursued the goal of a Jewish state, only the circumstances of modern history compelled the complete unveiling of Zionist intentions.

THEOHARIS The principal catalyst to the appointment of the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement (the so-called Wickersham Commission) in 1929 stemmed from a heightened public concern over the increase in crime and the attendant undermining of respect for the rule of law following the recent enactment of Prohibition. As such, with the public release of the Commission’s fourteen-volume report, critical scrutiny at the time centered on the Commission’s failure to offer a definitive assessment of the wisdom of Prohibition. In the process, the report’s broader findings and recommendations concerning policing practices commanded surprisingly limited attention. This Symposium proposes to remedy this neglect. Yet, as I shall argue in this Paper, there is a need to reassess the Commission’s core premise that changes in administrative procedures would solve the problems of ineffective law enforcement and abuses of power specifically by rationalizing decision making and promoting professionalism.

  • The Un-American Activities Committee Robert K
    Investigations in Operation: THE UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE ROBERT K. CARt HE PROGRAMS of most standing committees of Congress are largely determined for them by the number, kind and importance of bills referred to them for consideration. This has never been true of the Un-American Activities Committee. Its change in 1945 from a special investigating committee to a standing committee gave it a cer- tain measure of substantive jurisdiction over a particular legislative area," but it has never functioned primarily as a "legislative" committee. In- stead, it has been a curious congressional phenomenon-a permanent"in- vestigating" committee. In its own legislative area, it has had little work to perform.2 Rather, the Committee has had to devise a program of its t Parker Professor of Law and Political Science, Dartmouth College; Exec. Sec'y Presi- dent's Committee on Civil Rights (1947); author, Democracy and the Supreme Court (x936); The Supreme Court and Judicial Review (1942); Federal Protection of Civil Rights (1947). This study will be included in Prof. Carr's forthcoming book on the Un-American Activities Committee. x Title I of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, 6o Stat. 812 (3946), defines the powers and duties of the Committee in much the same language as the House Resolution which gave it perinanent status in 1945. According to the Act, "The Committee on Un-American Activities, as a whole or by subcommittee, is authorized to make from time to time investigations of (i) the extent, character, and objects of un-Ameri- can propaganda activities in the United States, (ii) the diffusion within the United States of subversive and un-American propaganda that is instigated from foreign countries or of a domestic origin and attacks the principle of the form of government as guaranteed by our Constitution, and (iii) all other questions in relation thereto that would aid Congress in any necessary remedial legislation.

Rabb, counsel to the President and secretary to the Cabinet, were deposited in the Eisenhower Library in 2002 by Mrs. Ruth Rabb, his widow. Linear feet shelf space occupied: 24 Approximate number of pages: 47,200 Approximate number of items: 15,000 In May 2003 Mrs. Rabb executed a deed of gift for these papers. By agreement with the donor the following classes of documents will be withheld from research use: 1. Papers and other historical materials the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy of a living person. 2. Papers and other historical materials that are specifically authorized under criteria established by statute or Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy, and are in fact properly classified pursuant to such statute or Executive Order. [1] SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Maxwell M. Rabb Papers document his early career as a lawyer and administrative assistant to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge as well as his role in the 1952 presidential campaign and the Eisenhower Administration. The papers have been divided into two series. The first one concerns his career from 1936 to 1952, and the second covers his service during the Eisenhower presidency, 1953-58. Rabb got involved in the Eisenhower for President campaign in late 1951 and worked full-time for the campaign in 1952. In January 1953 he joined the White House staff as aide to Sherman Adams and counsel to the President, and in 1954 he became secretary to the Cabinet, a position he held until he resigned in 1958.

There is a special focus on North Dakota, where we are located. More stories about surrounding states will published in future issues. “Magazine” derives from makhazin, the Arabic word for “storehouse,” which also soon gained military application as a “store for arms.” The world’s first print magazines began publication in England in the 18th century and sought to provide a storehouse of information and intellectual armament. 360 Review joins that tradition with the Christian, Catholic and Benedictine tradition of the University of Mary, which exists to serve the religious, academic and cultural needs of people in this region and beyond. As a poet once wrote: “The universe is composed of stories, not atoms.” 360 Review strives to tell some of these stories well—on paper (made of atoms, we presume), which is retro-innovative in a world spinning into cyberspace.

Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.
