Leader (1918-2013), a native of York, Pennsylvania, rose from the anonymous status of chicken farmer's son and Gettysburg College undergraduate to become, first a State Senator, and then the 36th governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A steadfast liberal in a traditionally conservative state, Leader spent his brief time in the governor's office (1955-1959) fighting uphill battles and blazing courageous trails. He overhauled the state's corrupt patronage system; streamlined and humanized its mental health apparatus; and, when a black family moved into the white enclave of Levittown, took a brave stand in favor of integration. -

THE SURGEON GENERAL AND THE BULLY PULPIT Michael Stobbe A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Public Health in the Department of Health Policy and Administration, School of Public Health Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Ned Brooks Jonathan Oberlander Tom Ricketts Karl Stark Bryan Weiner ABSTRACT MIKE STOBBE: The Surgeon General and the Bully Pulpit (Under the direction of Ned Brooks) This project looks at the role of the U.S. Surgeon General in influencing public opinion and public health policy. I examined historical changes in the administrative powers of the Surgeon General, to explain what factors affect how a Surgeon General utilizes the office’s “bully pulpit,” and assess changes in the political environment and in who oversees the Surgeon General that may affect the Surgeon General’s future ability to influence public opinion and health. This research involved collecting and analyzing the opinions of journalists and key informants such as current and former government health officials. I also studied public documents, transcripts of earlier interviews and other materials. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES.................................................................................................................v Chapter 1.

Women at War – the Establishment of the Women’S Army Corps (Pennsylvania Military Museum, J
PMM BLOG ARCHIVE May 28, 2020 Women At War – The establishment of the Women’s Army Corps (Pennsylvania Military Museum, J. Gleim, Museum Curator) In 1941, Massachusetts congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers approached US Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall with a proposal for a Congressional bill that would establish an Army Women’s Corps separate and distinct from the Army Nurse Corps. As American involvement in World War II appeared increasingly likely, Ms. Rogers was reminded of the civilian women during World War I who had worked as contractors under the Army without the benefit of military housing, medical care, or legal protection. General Marshall supported Rogers’ bill, believing that the possibility of the United States fighting a two- front war in Europe and the Pacific would eventually lead to a shortage of manpower. He felt it was wasteful to expend time and money training men to do critical communications jobs such as typing and operating switchboards when there were already highly skilled women in the American workforce capable of doing such jobs. Rogers introduced her bill to Congress in May 1941, however the bill failed to garner serious attention until after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The bill passed Congress and President Roosevelt signed it into law on May 15, 1942 with an initial recruitment goal of 25,000 women for the first year. American women, eager to contribute to the war effort, eagerly enrolled and by November 1942 the fledgling Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) had surpassed its recruitment goal. Applicants were required to be between 21 and 45 years of age, be at least five feet tall and weigh at least 100 lbs. -
Women's Studies
A Guide to Historical Holdings in the Eisenhower Library WOMEN'S STUDIES Compiled by Barbara Constable April 1994 Guide to Women's Studies at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library While the 1940s may conjure up images of "Rosie the Riveter" and women growing produce in their Victory Gardens on the homefront, the 1950s may be characterized as the era of June Cleaver and Harriet Nelson--women comfortable in the roles of mother and wife in the suburban neighborhoods of that era. The public statements concerning women's issues made by President Dwight D. Eisenhower show him to be a paradox: "...we look to the women of our land to start education properly among all our citizens. We look to them, I think, as the very foundation--the greatest workmen in the field of spiritual development...We have come a long ways in recognizing the equality of women. Unfortunately, in some respects, it is not yet complete. But I firmly believe it will soon be so." (Remarks at the College of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washington, October 18, 1956) "I cannot imagine a greater responsibility, a greater opportunity than falls to the lot of the woman who is the central figure in the home. They, far more than the men, remind us of the values of decency, of fair play, of rightness, of our own self-respect--and respecting ourselves always ready to respect others. The debt that all men owe to women is not merely that through women we are brought forth on this world, it is because they have done far more than we have to sustain and teach those ideals that make our kind of life worth while." (Remarks at Business and Professional Women Meeting, Detroit, Michigan, October 17, 1960) "Today there are 22 million working women. -

Judge Richard Disalle for the Commonwealth Court Historical Society
Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania Reminiscences of The Honorable Richard DiSalle Judge DiSalle was a member of the Commonwealth Court from 1978 to 1980. He was interviewed by the Honorable Jeannine Turgeon of the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas; she was a law clerk for Judge Genevieve Blatt from 1977 to 1979. The interview was conducted in Pittsburgh on June 11, 2010. 1 JUDGE TURGEON: Okay. This is Jeannine Turgeon, and we are here interviewing Judge Richard DiSalle for the Commonwealth Court Historical Society. Now, when did you – you were appointed to the Court originally? JUDGE DISALLE: Yes. JUDGE TURGEON: And that was back in 1977? JUDGE DISALLE: ‘78. JUDGE TURGEON: ‘78. And how did that happen? Did you get a call some late Sunday night pretending to be governor, or how did that happen? JUDGE DISALLE: Unlike Glenn Mencer, I did not get a call late at night asking me if I wanted to be on the Commonwealth Court. We heard that there were vacancies on the Court. There was a vacancy on the Court because of the death of Judge Kramer. JUDGE TURGEON: And he was from Pittsburgh. Wasn’t Harold Kramer from Pittsburgh? JUDGE DISALLE: Yes. So I talked to my colleagues on the Commons Pleas bench. I was on the Common Pleas Court at the time in Washington County. They said, We think you ought to apply for it. So I put in my application and waited what I thought was an ungodly length of time until I found that I was one of three that -- there were three candidates on the short list and I was one of them.
