Special Assistant Series, Subject Subseries WHITE HOUSE OFFICE, OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL ASSISTANT FOR NATIONAL SECURITY AFFAIRS: Records, 1952-61 Special Assistant Series, Subject Subseries [NOTE: The last box of this subseries contains approximately 400 pages which were received by the Library as part of the National Security Council Staff Records in August 1981 (see accession 82-18). It was apparent that they had been stored with the NSC records by mistake and that they were actually records of the Special Assistant for National Security Affairs, so they were accessioned separately and placed at the end of this subseries.

  • Basic Radio Propagation Predictions for February 1956: Three Months In
    ^ % 3 msb Basic Radio Propagation Predictions FOR FEBRUARY 1956 Three Months in Advance Issued November 1955 CRPL Series D Number 135 The Central Radio Propagation Laboratory The propagation of radio waves over long distances depends on their reflection from the ionosphere, the electri¬ cally conducting layers in the earth’s upper atmosphere. The characteristics of these layers are continually chang¬ ing. For regular and reliable communication, it is therefore necessary to collect and analyze ionospheric data from stations all over the world in order that predictions of usable frequencies between any two places at any hour can be made. During the war, the United States Joint Communications Board set up the Interservice Radio Propagation Laboratory at the National Bureau of Standards to centralize ionospheric work and predictions for the Armed Forces of the United States. On May 1, 1946, this activity returned to peacetime status as the Central Radio Propagation Laboratory of the National Bureau of Standards. Designed to act as a permanent centralizing agency for propagation predictions and studies, analogous in the field of radio to the reports of the Weather Bureau in the field of meteorology, the Central Radio Propagation Laboratory was established in cooperation with the many Government agencies vitally concerned with communication and radio propagation problems. These agencies are represented on an Interdepartment Coun¬ cil on Radio Propagation and Standards which assists in furthering the work of the Laboratory; included are the Departments of State, Army, Navy and Air Force, United States Information Agency, United States Coast Guard, Civil Aeronautics Administration and Federal Communications Commission. Observers have been designated by the Air Navigation Development Board, Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee, United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, and United States Weather Bureau.

    February One Documentary Film Study Guide By Rebecca Cerese & Diane Wright Available online at www.newsreel.org Film Synopsis Greensboro, North Carolina, was a fairly typical Southern city in the middle of the 20th Century. The city was certainly segregated, but city officials prided themselves on handling race relations with more civility than many other Southern cities. Ezell Blair, Jr. (who later changed his name to Jibreel Khazan) was the son of an early member of the NAACP, who introduced him to the idea of activism at an early age. Ezell attended segregated Dudley High School, where he befriended Franklin McCain. Franklin, raised in the more racially open city of Washington, DC, was angered by the segregation he encountered in Greensboro. Ezell and Franklin became fast friends with David Richmond, the most popular student at Dudley High. In 1958, Ezell and David heard Martin Luther King, Jr., speak at Bennett College in Greensboro. At the same time, the rapid spread of television was bringing images of oppression and conflict from around the world into their living rooms. Ezell was inspired by the non-violent movement for independence led by Mahatma Gandhi and chilled by the brutal murder of Emmett Till. In the fall of 1959, Ezell, Franklin, and David enrolled in Greensboro’s all-black college, North Carolina A&T State University. Ezell’s roommate was Joseph McNeil, an idealistic young man from New York City. Ezell, Franklin, David, and Joseph became a close-knit group and got together for nightly bull sessions in their dorm rooms. During this time they began to consider challenging the institution of segregation.
