HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY SUBSISTENCE-HOMESTEAD TOWNS HABS No. PA-5919 Location: Town of Penn-Craft and Town of Norvelt Fayette County Westmoreland County Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Significance: Subsistence-homestead communities were developed as part of a broad reaching effort of the New Deal-era intended to relieve the dire economic rural conditions which existed in the 1930s. The projects were designed to give each family a few acres of land to farm for their own consumption beside their own home. As an experiment in environmental and social reform, the development of subsistence homesteads was meant to improve the standard of living through the design of practical small houses, the implementation of a landscape plan, and the provision of community resources for rural areas. PART I. HISTORICAL INFORMATION A, Physical History: For information regarding the specific physical histories of the towns of Penn- Craft and Norvelt, see HABS Nos. PA-5920 and PA-5921, respectively. B. Historical Context: The coal region of Westmoreland and Fayette counties in western Pennsylvania is located on the hilly terrain of the western slope of the Allegheny Mountains. The coal bed underneath the surface is complemented by a topsoil rich in lime and suitable for farming. Superceding an agricultural tradition begun in colonial times, the coal-mining industry developed in the late nineteenth century. Americans who had lived in Pennsylvania for generations were joined by more recent immigrants from Eastern Europe to extract bituminous coal needed to fuel America's industries.

  • Reactions of Congress to the Alger Hiss Case, 1948-1960
    Soviet Spies and the Fear of Communism in America Reactions of Congress to the Alger Hiss Case, 1948-1960 Mémoire Brigitte Rainville Maîtrise en histoire Maître ès arts (M.A.) Québec, Canada © Brigitte Rainville, 2013 Résumé Le but de ce mémoire est de mettre en évidence la réaction des membres du Congrès des États-Unis dans le cadre de l'affaire Alger Hiss de 1948 à 1960. Selon notre source principale, le Congressional Record, nous avons pu faire ressortir les divergences d'opinions qui existaient entre les partisans des partis démocrate et républicain. En ce qui concerne les démocrates du Nord, nous avons établi leur tendance à nier le fait de l'infiltration soviétique dans le département d'État américain. De leur côté, les républicains ont profité du cas de Hiss pour démontrer l'incompétence du président Truman dans la gestion des affaires d'État. Il est intéressant de noter que, à la suite de l'avènement du républicain Dwight D. Eisenhower à la présidence en 1953, un changement marqué d'opinions quant à l'affaire Hiss s'opère ainsi que l'attitude des deux partis envers le communisme. Les démocrates, en fait, se mettent à accuser l'administration en place d'inaptitude dans l'éradication des espions et des communistes. En ayant recours à une stratégie similaire à celle utilisée par les républicains à l'époque Truman, ceux-ci n'entachent toutefois guère la réputation d'Eisenhower. Nous terminons en montrant que le nom d'Alger Hiss, vers la fin de la présidence Eisenhower, s'avère le symbole de la corruption soviétique et de l'espionnage durant cette période marquante de la Guerre Froide.

  • Robert F. Kennedy's Dissent on the Vietnam War—I966
    »-r /Jo, 5^0 A STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVE: ROBERT F. KENNEDY'S DISSENT ON THE VIETNAM WAR—I966-I968 Craig W. Cutbirth A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 1976 An'nrnvprl hv T)r»r».toral nmrtmi ttee* i q ABSTRACT The Vietnam war -was one of the most hitter and divisive issues of the turbulent 1960’s. One American leader -who interacted with this issue was Robert F. Kennedy, United States Senator from New York. He was an ambitious man who had been the second most powerful man in the country during the Administration of John F. Kennedy. He was an acknowledged presidential aspirant. His actions and pronouncements attracted widespread attention—a source of potential benefit and danger for him. Kennedy planned his statements on the war with the utmost caution. He was particularly aware of the consequences of a personal break between himself and President Iyndon B. Johnson, wham Kennedy disliked and mistrusted. Accordingly, this study began with the assumption that Kennedy's planning involved the creation of a strategy through which he approached the Vietnam ,issue. Three of Kennedy's anti-war pronouncements were examined in this study. Each was considered an expression of Kennedy's rhetorical strategy. The nature of strategy was an object of some attention in this study. It was noted that the term has been used in a seemingly-contradictory manner. Accordingly, an attempt was made to clarify the nature of rhetorical strategy. It was determined that strategy is created to achieve some goal, and is implemented by certain tactics designed to energize audience support for the li rhetors position, thus achieving the desired goal.

In 1977-78, Senator James O. Eastland began transferring his congressional papers to the University of Mississippi. Among the items shipped were publications from the subcommittee’s library. Due to storage space concerns and the wide availability of many titles, the volumes were not preserved in toto. However, this subseries provides a complete bibliographic listing of the publications received as well as descriptions of stamps, inscriptions, or enclosures. The archives did retain documents enclosed within the Internal Security Subcommittee’s library volumes and these appear in Box 1 of this subseries. The bibliographic citation that follows will indicate the appropriate folder number. Call numbers and links to catalog records are provided when copies of the books are in the stacks of the J.D. Williams Library or Special Collections. Researchers should note that these are not necessarily the same copies that were in the Internal Security Subcommittee library or even the same editions.

  • 1 Jimmy Carter: a Man on a Mission an Analysis Of
    1 JIMMY CARTER: A MAN ON A MISSION AN ANALYSIS OF CARTER'S WORK TO RESTORE FAITH IN THE US GOVERNMENT BY LAURA SCHABBING 3800415 Master Thesis 200401064 15 Credits Dr. Van den Berk June 29, 2012 18.406 words 2 Introduction. James Earl Carter was the 39th president of the United States. He served one term, from 1977 until 1981. The Democrat from Georgia defeated the Republican Gerald Ford in the election in 1976 and now faced the difficult task of presiding over a disillusioned country. Carter himself was a devout Christian, but he was also convinced that people should be allowed to have their own religion.1 His religion helped gain him the trust of the people, which was very important in the late 1970s. Due to the Watergate scandal a few years prior, the new president faced a nation that was very distrusting of its government. Carter was well aware of this, and he had stated in his campaign that he would never lie.2 This gesture was appreciated by the American people, who had lost all faith in the people governing the White House. During his presidency, Carter arguably succeeded in bringing integrity and honesty to the government, although he had decidedly more trouble in getting people to believe in his skills as a national leader.3 Besides Watergate, other factors contributed to people losing faith in the country as well. In the 1970s, the United States was suffering through economic decline and was also deeply divided over issues such as race and ethnicity.4 The war in Vietnam had left deep scars on the country too.
