Subsistence-Homestead Towns HABS No. PA-5.919 Perm-Craft Fayette County Pennsylvania i ' \ ./ WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL DATA • Historic American Buildings Survey National Park Service Department of the Interior Washington, D.C. 20013-7127 / /. 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. -
