The committee met at 10 a.m., pursuant to notice, in the com- munity room of the Syracuse University Student Services Building, 401 Van Buren Avenue, Syracuse, N.Y., Senator Frank E. Moss presiding. Present: Senators Moss and Goodell. Also present: William E. Oriol, staff director- John Guy Miller, minority staff director; Shalon Ralph, professional staff member; and Mary Lou Dennin, clerk. OPENING STATEMENT BY SENATOR MOSS, PRESIDING Senator Moss. The hearing will come to order. We are delighted to be here this morning on this snowy, cold day but a very fine day in Syracuse. This is a hearing conducted by the Special Committee on Aging of the U.S. Senate. Beginning several years ago it became apparent that many problems are arising so far as elderly people are concerned in this country by way of housing, employment, transportation, and involvement in community affairs, so this committee has been very active. We are concerned this morning with the usefulness of the model cities program as it concerns the elderly people of our country. We are most pleased to be joined here this morning by Senator Charles E. Goodell, of New York, who will participate in these hearings. We look forward to a very interesting day here. I am told that this is the first official function to be held in this room. We are glad to be in this fine new building and to be able to hold a Senate hearing in this room this morning. We meet here to hear witnesses at the fourth hearing conducted by the Special Committee on Aging on the subject of "Usefulness of the Model Cities Program to the Elderly." We began our work in Washington, D.C., with 1 day of hearings in July. Last month we met in Seattle, Wash., to learn of the hopes and plans underway there on the west coast. In a smaller community in a mountain area, in Ogden, Utah, we heard from representatives with real and pressing problems and with limited means of meeting them. We go on from here to meet in Atlanta, Ga., on Wednesday and we hope to conclude these hearings in January. (323) 324 As you will note from the location of the various hearings we have tried to go to various sections of the country so that we could find out in the field the problems that were peculiar to a particular area. We have chosen Syracuse as the very representative city of the North- eastern part of the United States, not only because of the fine planning that is going on in the model cities area but because of the school and the staff work that has been done here that will aid us today when we make our record. My remarks are going to be brief because we have a very heavy agenda and we have many expert witnesses who are familiar with the problem and helpful to this committee. I particularly wanted to men- tion Dean Walter Beattie of the University of Syracuse School of Social Work. We have heard from him in Washington often and now it is good to see him here on his home grounds. IMPACT OF MODEL CITIES PROGRAM The major point I wish to make before the testimony begins is that our hearings have already made it crystal clear to me that the model cities program has caused much soul-searching and hard work among officials and everyday citizens in communities of all sizes in all parts of the Nation. We all realize, I think, that the time has come for consolidating the gains that the urban programs of the last decade or so have brought, even while we discar or reshape ideas and techniques that have not proved as successful as we may want them to be. The model cities program is proving a context for. experiments and for fresh thinking. It is a bold program, and it is a necessary one. It has already mobilized many talented and earnest people at the Federal level and at the grassroots level. As yet, it has more promise than fulfillment, but the promise is real and it must be fulfilled. I make these statements at a time when a new administration in Washington is on the horizon, but I make my observations with confidence because I believe that the model cities program is a good idea whose time has come.

His birth date is smudged in the town records and has been variously reported as July 3 and July 5, 1731, but the mystery was solved during a recent refurbishment of the tomb in Old Norwichtown Cemetery where he and his wife Martha are buried. There is a plate on his coffin that reads, “…born July 16th AD 1731.” It appears that Samuel, like many others in that period, added eleven days to his birth date to make up for a change in the calendar that eliminated eleven days from the month of September 1752. Therefore, he celebrated the anniversary of his birth on July 16, and his date of record must have been July 5.

He was appointed to the position of King's attorney for the colony of Connecticut. Nine years later, Samuel's conscience made him resign from this post and turn his back on what might have been a bright and comfortable future in the employment of the King. Little did he know at the time the Huntington's and Royal Family would merge in marriage. My great, great, great, grandmother, Caroline Cornelia Streit, second cousin to Queen Victoria married Collins Hickox Huntington on May 30, 1836 in Frelighsburg, P.Q., Canada.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page{s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Los Angeles Basin
    Henry E. Huntington and the Creation of South­ ern California is the first business biography of the legendary entrepreneur who helped shape the Los Angeles basin. Based largely on archival sources, William Friedricks's study presents a balanced view of the ener­ getic Huntington, whose prodigious control of street railways, electric power, and real estate enabled him to leave a lasting imprint on southern California. Greater Los Angeles attained its modern configuration during the first two decades of the twentieth century. Its development was influenced heavily by the creative energy and genius of a few entrepreneurs, and of this group, Henry Huntington played the major role. By rapidly pouring vast amounts of capital into his triad of interrelated busi­ nesses—all critical for regional growth— he achieved a virtual monopoly over the development of many parts of the Los Ange­ les basin. Operating at a time when local planning commissions had little regulatory power, he became the region's de facto metro­ politan planner, building trolley lines where and when he wanted and determining the spatial layout of the area. Then, as a large- scale subdivides he further dictated the socioeconomic mix of many of the suburbs. Huntington further encouraged devel­ opment in southern California through his involvement in local agriculture and industry, the hotel business, and many leading social and civic organizations. As a philanthropist, he donated land for parks and schools and provided money to various youth organiza­ tions. To encourage and enrich the intellectual and cultural life of southern California, he lent his support to a number of regional institutions of higher education and founded the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens.
