  • U.S. President's Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief
    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. PRESIDENT’S COMMITTEE FOR HUNGARIAN REFUGEE RELIEF: Records, 1957 A67-4 Compiled by Roland W. Doty, Jr. William G. Lewis Robert J. Smith 16 cubic feet 1956-1957 September 1967 INTRODUCTION The President’s Committee for Hungarian Refugee Relief was established by the President on December 12, 1956. The need for such a committee came about as a result of the United States’ desire to take care of its fair share of the Hungarians who fled their country beginning in October 1956. The Committee operated until May, 1957. During this time, it helped re-settle in the United States approximately 30,000 refugees. The Committee’s small staff was funded from the Special Projects Group appropriation. In its creation, the Committee was assigned the following duties and objectives: a. To assist in every way possible the various religious and other voluntary agencies engaged in work for Hungarian Refugees. b. To coordinate the efforts of these agencies, with special emphasis on those activities related to resettlement of the refugees. The Committee also served as a focal point to which offers of homes and jobs could be forwarded. c. To coordinate the efforts of the voluntary agencies with the work of the interested governmental departments. d. It was not the responsibility of the Committee to raise money. The records of the President’s Committee consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence, press releases, speeches, printed materials, memoranda, telegrams, programs, itineraries, statistical materials, air and sea boarding manifests, and progress reports. The subject areas of these documents deal primarily with requests from the public to assist the refugees and the Committee by volunteering homes, employment, adoption of orphans, and even marriage.

They are the hardest employers of white workmen, and they expect to get as much labor from a slave as they have forced from the necessities of white men. No system of slavery in the world, that we have any knowledge of, is as harsh, inhuman and cruel as that which prevails in the Yankee merchant marine. The scenes of horror that are of constant occurrence in Yankee vessels have caused the whole civilized world to stand aghast. For years before the present rupture, the English journals were filled with accounts of cruelties and murders practiced upon American seamen in the various lines of packets and freight ships trading between the North and England.

  • Louisiana's Cultural Regions
    Section3 Louisiana’s Cultural Regions As you read, look for: • the similarities and differences among Louisiana’s cultural regions, and • vocabulary terms region, upland South, urban, and rural. Visiting the state’s many festivals is one way to study the elements of Louisiana’s culture. A map shows these elements in a different way. The Louisiana Depart- ment of Culture, Recreation and Tourism divides the state into five regions. A region is an area defined by similar features. Physical regions include common climate and landforms. Cultural regions include similar elements of culture such as ethnic heritage, language, religion, food, music, or recreation. Each of Louisiana’s five cultural regions, shown in Map 1, has cultural ties that makes it different in some ways from the rest of the state. Map 1 Louisiana’s Cultural Regions Map Skill: In which cultural region do you live? Top: An Acadian homestead is one of the attractions at Longfellow-Evangeline State Commemorative Area in St. Martinville. Section 3 Louisiana’s Cultural Regions 17 Sportsman’s Paradise Region This region’s label was chosen because of the many lakes, rolling hills, and forests in northern Louisiana that offer abundant outdoor recreation for residents and visitors. Fishing and hunting have been a part of life here for generations. Bass fishing tournaments are big business on the lakes of the region. Newer sports like water-skiing and power-boat racing add a different kind of excitement. North Louisiana has more in common with the neighboring states of Missis- sippi, Alabama, and Georgia than with South Louisiana. A cultural anthropolo- gist uses the term upland South to describe this region.

Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making.
