Corcoran during a congressional hearing on the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. “I do not believe you should kill them. I do believe you should regulate them–not because I have any social philosophy in regard to the subject–but because as a sheer matter of economic wisdom they should be regulated.” Speaking not long after the Dow Jones Industrial Average had fallen 89 percent and joblessness reached 25 percent, Corcoran charged that unregulated financial markets “have cost many millions of dollars; they have cost 12,000,000 men their jobs.” With the lawyer for the New York Stock Exchange glowering nearby, he defended the bill’s grant of sweeping power to federal administrators.

ELBERT PARR TUTTLE Alfed C. Aman, Jr.t Elbert Parr Tuttle was a great man. What makes a person great may not always be what makes for greatness in ajudge, butJudge Tut- tle's character was integral to his greatness as ajudge. Throughout his long and illustrious life, certain qualities were always evident: his cour- age and independence of mind; his creativity; his commitment to law and to justice; his compassion, and his impeccable integrity. His de- meanor-grace and attentiveness are the words that come to mind- added to his ability to communicate, learn, and persuade. As an advo- cate and as ajudge, those qualities were perhaps most often reflected in his responses to the struggles of African Americans in the context of de jure segregation in the South. In a very profound sense, these were also qualities that made Judge Tuttle a great teacher.

  • John Foster Dulles Papers General Correspondence and Memoranda Series
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE AND MEMORANDA SERIES This five box series contains approximately 3,500 pages of memoranda of conversations, memoranda, correspondence, reports, and printed matter. It spans the years 1953-59 with much of the documentation falling into the 1955-58 period. It consists of three segments or subseries. The first segment, the Memoranda of Conversations Subseries, is a box of alphabetically arranged memoranda of conversations between Dulles and ambassadors, senators and congressmen, prime ministers, White House staff members, newsmen, and other important international public figures. These “memcons” cover a wide range of foreign policy, political and personnel issues and should be considered an important source of information on Secretary Dulles’ activities as Secretary of State. The subject annotated shelf list offers a guide to the topics covered in these “memcons.” The second segment, the Confidential Correspondence Subseries is an alphabetically arranged correspondence file containing correspondence and memoranda exchanged between Secretary Dulles and ambassadors, political figures, German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and other prominent figures. This correspondence appears to reflect a higher degree of sensitivity or importance than the correspondence in the Miscellaneous Correspondence Subseries. There are numerous foreign policy issues covered here. The Dulles-Adenauer correspondence is noteworthy and reflects the apparent close relationship between the two men. A few other of the many prominent correspondents in this file include Douglas Dillon, Milton Eisenhower, Henry Cabot Lodge, Douglas MacArthur II, Senator Joseph McCarthy and Dean Rusk. Time period covered is from 1953 to 1959. There is much information on personnel matters here along with loyalty- security issues.

  • History of Upper Brookville 1952-1960 – CHAPTER
    Chapter Two The Coming of Democracy 1952-1960 Undoubtedly, there was a change in the modes and per­ haps the ambience of Village government when the Mayor and his Trustees started to work. For one thing, there were annual mayoral letters to the voters, candid and complete, lawyerly and Biblical, and at times avuncular. The new �ayor began his letters, year in and out, with an invoca­ tion: "This is a letter about the Village of Upper Brookville, in which we live and have our being, and to which we pay Village taxes." He was pleased to announce a twenty-nine cent rate in August, 1952, but added the cave­ at that since a change in fiscal year had necessitated a nine-month intercalation, it only ����ed to be lower; really, it was thirty-five cents. In 1953, after what was to be a standard thumbnail sketch of the history of the Village for newcomers, he warned that School District #3 in East Norwich sought a parcel on Mill River Road in the Village, which, if used for school purposes, would be lost to the tax rolls, meaning that residents would be paying school taxes twice over, so that this incursion should be resisted. He ran in a complete estimated budget for the coming year, showing income, cash balance, and al 1 ex­ penses, with comparative figures for ten years before, showing how the total to be raised through Village taxes had climbed from about $12,000 to about twice that sum. In this context, another homily: "If we don't budget, we can't spend.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/dh/dhaa045. https://hdiplo.org/to/AR1037 Editor: Diane Labrosse | Commissioning Editor: Dayna Barnes | Production Editor: George Fujii Review by Priscilla Roberts, City University of Macau Since at least the early 1940s, more often than not relations between the United States and China have been strained and problematic. They hit rock bottom during the 1950s, a decade when U.S. troops fought Chinese military forces and two crises sparked by mainland operations against Taiwan prompted fears of a potential nuclear superpower confrontation. From 1949 onward, the United States not only declined to recognize the new, Communist-led People’s Republic of China (PRC) as the country’s legitimate government, but maintained that the rump regime on the island of Taiwan led by China’s ousted Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek still represented all of China. The United States further asserted that the mainland was not entitled to join the recently established United Nations, opposition that until 1971 was instrumental in denying representation in the organization to the PRC regime led by Chinese Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong, as the United States leaned on other nations to endorse its position and ostracize and exclude China. Seeking to weaken the infant PRC, the United States not only took the lead in imposing draconian economic sanctions upon the country, but sought to persuade and pressure its allies to join in these restrictions.
