Ponton In 1960, John F. Kennedy, a wealthy New England Catholic, traveled to a rural, Protestant state to contend in an election that few thought he could win. While many scholars have examined the impact of Kennedy’s victory in the West Virginia primary, few have analyzed the importance that his visit to the state in 1960 and his ensuing administration had on West Virginia. Kennedy enacted a number of policies directed specifically toward relieving the poverty that had plagued West Virginia since statehood.

  • 1 a Review of the Record-Breaking Snow and Persistent Cold Of
    A Review of the Record-Breaking Snow and Persistent Cold of February and March 1960 Laurence G. Lee NOAA/National Weather Service Greer, SC 1. Introduction February and March 2010 marked the 50th anniversary of one of the most severe periods of winter weather on record in the western Carolinas and extreme northeast Georgia. Beginning in February 1960 a series of winter storms and a prolonged period of below normal temperatures disrupted commerce, schools, and life in general across the region. The severe winter weather was not confined to the southern Appalachians and nearby areas. The entire eastern United States was affected. According to narratives at the time (Ludlum 1960a,b), the month of March 1960 had more records for snow and cold in the eastern states than any previous March. March 1960 is still the coldest March on record at Asheville, Charlotte, and Greenville-Spartanburg. Figure 1 displays the departure of March 1960 average temperature from normal1. The total March 1960 snowfall distribution is in Fig. 2. The general nature of the snowfall map does not depict details and extremes in the southern Appalachians. Fig. 1. Departure of average temperature from normal for March 1960. (U.S. Department of Commerce, 1960d) 1 Normals in this document refer to the 30-year period from 1921 to 1950. 1 Fig 2.

Bundesarchiv, B 145 Bild-F015892-0010 / Wegmann, Ludwig / CC-BY-SA, CC BY-SA 3.0 de, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.ph p?curid=6845791 French President Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970) arrived in Washington on Friday, April 22, 1960, for a State visit comprised primarily of talks with President Dwight D. Eisenhower to prepare for the upcoming Big Four summit planned for May in Paris, the first such meeting since World War II of leaders from the U.S., Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. General de Gaulle, leader of the Free French Forces resisting both the German occupation of France and the collaborationist Vichy government during the war, drew a warm welcome from Washingtonians that matched an equally enthusiastic embrace the people of Paris had given General Eisenhower, the supreme commander of Allied forces in western Europe during the liberation of France, on his State visit seven months earlier. De Gaulle wrote in his memoir, “All the way from the airport to Blair House I drove beside President Eisenhower to a deafening accompaniment of cheers, sirens and brass bands, amid a forest of banners and flags.” Area police estimated that 200,000 people—many of them government workers given an extended lunch hour—crowded the airport, bridge, and streets. De Gaulle remarked that the greeting, “clearly represented something fundamental.” The next morning, de Gaulle held “a vast press conference at the National Press Club,” he reported, “where most of the questions put to me concerned the 1 projected meeting of the Big Four.” The New York Times described his performance as “relaxed and informal.” On Sunday, de Gaulle flew with Eisenhower to the president’s farm in Gettysburg.

  • The Gatt Tariff Conference 1960-1961: What Is at Stake?
    THE GATT TARIFF CONFERENCE 1960-1961: WHAT IS AT STAKE? A lecture delivered by lir. -Toan ROYER, Deputy Executive Secretary of the GATT, before the Economic Action and Expansion Committee, Paris, 22 March 1960 In the course of the past twelve years, the GATT has journeyed far and wide, covering an impressive itinerary pin-pointed on the world map by the ' cities of Geneva, Annecy, Torquay and Tokyo, the initials of which happen to coincide with the symbol GATT. Returning to its starting point, Geneva, after these distant travels, the GATT is preparing to hold in that city this year, as it did in 1947, an important tariff conference. Whilst, from all appearances, the impression might be gathered that the conditions undor which the GATT is starting on this second cyole of its activities are the same as in 1947, the facts are proof to the contrary. At the time the 1947 tariff conference took place, world trade had for many years been hampered by administrative restrictions and other hindrances which had whittled down its volume. The 1947 tariff conference was an act of faith on the part of the main trading nations which wanted to prove to the world, even before undertaking, at the Havana Conforence, to organize international trade on a liberal and multilateral basis, that it was actually possiblo to embark upon a course of trade liberalization and expansion. The conditions prevailing in 1947, therefore, were a far cry from those considered by the negotiating parties as being a necessity for a normal development of international trade.
