Beneath the Surface: Argentine-United States Relations As Perón Assumed the Presidency
Beneath the Surface: Argentine-United States Relations as Perón Assumed the Presidency Vivian Reed June 5, 2009 HST 600 Latin American Seminar Dr. John Rector 1 Juan Domingo Perón was elected President of Argentina on February 24, 1946,1 just as the world was beginning to recover from World War II and experiencing the first traces of the Cold War. The relationship between Argentina and the United States was both strained and uncertain at this time. The newly elected Perón and his controversial wife, Eva, represented Argentina. The United States’ presence in Argentina for the preceding year was primarily presented through Ambassador Spruille Braden.2 These men had vastly differing perspectives and visions for Argentina. The contest between them was indicative of the relationship between the two nations. Beneath the public and well-documented contest between Perón and United States under the leadership of Braden and his successors, there was another player whose presence was almost unnoticed. The impact of this player was subtlety effective in normalizing relations between Argentina and the United States. The player in question was former United States President Herbert Hoover, who paid a visit to Argentina and Perón in June of 1946. This paper will attempt to describe the nature of Argentine-United States relations in mid-1946. Hoover’s mission and insights will be examined. In addition, the impact of his visit will be assessed in light of unfolding events and the subsequent historiography. The most interesting aspect of the historiography is the marked absence of this episode in studies of Perón and Argentina3 even though it involved a former United States President and the relations with 1 Alexander, 53. -
Dear Youth Batting Helmet Manufacturer, As the Popularity Of
Dear Youth Batting Helmet Manufacturer, As the popularity of face protectors (c-flap, etc.) increases throughout baseball and softball, Little League® International has begun to receive inquiries from our families, players, and volunteers as to whether or not they’re permitted in Little League play. The safety of all our participants is our utmost concern, and, like the vast majority of youth organizations, Little League requires our batters to wear helmets that meet National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) specifications and bear the NOCSAE stamp. As face protectors, like the “c-flap,” are additions to a helmet, which require for holes to be drilled in most helmets to affix protector, Little League International contacted NOCSAE for guidance. On May 8, 2018, NOCSAE issued a release, which includes the following information: Products designed to be added to previously certified helmets for baseball, softball, football, lacrosse and other sports are being marketed and sold to consumers. Whether intended to be general improvements or expansions of the helmet’s protective coverage or ability, or to collect impact data, the addition of such products to a helmet previously certified as meeting the appropriate NOCSAE standard will make the certification voidable by the helmet manufacturer. Such additions to the helmet create a new and untested model, as defined in the NOCSAE standards. For many years NOCSAE standards have defined a helmet model as a helmet “intended to be identical in every way, except for size.” Any changes, additions or alterations of the model, except for size or color or graphics, even if made by the original manufacturer, requires that a new model name be created, and a separate certification testing data for that new model. -

University of Birmingham the Eisenhower Administration and U.S. Foreign and Economic Policy Towards Latin America from 1953 to 1
University of Birmingham The Eisenhower Administration and U.S. Foreign and Economic Policy towards Latin America from 1953 to 1961 By Yu-Cheng Teng A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies School of Government and Society College of Social Science University of Birmingham Edgbaston Birmingham B15 2TT September 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

In order to win the Cold War, the leading bureaucrats were split over different approaches needed to achieve policy objectives in Latin America within the hierarchically regularized machinery- but it was not necessarily welcomed by every Latin American nation. There were three problems with Eisenhower’s staff structuring arrangement towards Latin America: (a) politicization of U.S.-Latin American relations from 1953 to 1961 by senior U.S. bureaucrats with an anti-communism agenda for Latin American development; (b) neglect of Latin American requests for public funds before 1959; (c) bureaucratic conflicts over different methods to achieve foreign policy objectives, often resulting in tensions between policy and operations. -

G ATEMALA by Helen Simon Travis and A
THE TRUTH ABOUT G ATEMALA By Helen Simon Travis and A. B. Magil About the Authors HELEN SIMON TRAVIS visited Guatemala in 1953, where she interviewed outstanding government, trade union, peasant, and cultural leaders. Her stirring report on developments in that country is based on eye-witness observation. A. B. MAGIL visited -Guatemala in 1951 and again in 1954. He is the author 'of numerous books and pamphlets, and is widely known as a writer, lecturer, and educator. He is pres ently associate editor of Masses & Mainstream. The drawing on the cover of this pamphlet is from a poster by the distinguished Mexican artist, Alberto Beltran. The quetzal bird is the national symbol of Guatemala. Published by NEW CENTURY PUBLISHERS, 832 Broadway, New York 3, N. Y. April, 1954 PRINTED IN THE U.S.A. ~. 209 By HELEN SIMON TRAVIS and A. B. MAGIL- It was Sunday, March 29, 1953. Two hundred men donned their new uniforms, grabbed their new rilles, grenades, ma chine-guns. Swiftly they descended on the town of Salama, a provincial capital not far from Guatemala City. They seized the mayor, others, representing the democratic authority of the state. They cut telephone and telegraph lines. Then they awaited news of other successful uprisings throughout this isolated democratic Central American republic. But the ne~Ts never came. l<t had spent a quiet, sunshiny Sunday in the country. I only learned about Salama the next day, and then it was all over. The 200 held on for 12 hours, but no masses flocked to their anti-democratic banners. -
Complete Film Noir
COMPLETE FILM NOIR (1940 thru 1965) Page 1 of 18 CONSENSUS FILM NOIR (1940 thru 1959) (1960-1965) dThe idea for a COMPLETE FILM NOIR LIST came to me when I realized that I was “wearing out” a then recently purchased copy of the Film Noir Encyclopedia, 3rd edition. My initial plan was to make just a list of the titles listed in this reference so I could better plan my film noir viewing on AMC (American Movie Classics). Realizing that this plan was going to take some keyboard time, I thought of doing a search on the Internet Movie DataBase (here after referred to as the IMDB). By using the extended search with selected criteria, I could produce a list for importing to a text editor. Since that initial list was compiled almost twenty years ago, I have added additional reference sources, marked titles released on NTSC laserdisc and NTSC Region 1 DVD formats. When a close friend complained about the length of the list as it passed 600 titles, the idea of producing a subset list of CONSENSUS FILM NOIR was born. Several years ago, a DVD producer wrote me as follows: “I'd caution you not to put too much faith in the film noir guides, since it's not as if there's some Film Noir Licensing Board that reviews films and hands out Certificates of Authenticity. The authors of those books are just people, limited by their own knowledge of and access to films for review, so guidebooks on noir are naturally weighted towards the more readily available studio pictures, like Double Indemnity or Kiss Me Deadly or The Big Sleep, since the many low-budget B noirs from indie producers or overseas have mostly fallen into obscurity.” There is truth in what the producer says, but if writers of (film noir) guides haven’t seen the films, what chance does an ordinary enthusiast have. -

HEAD SIZE To find out your athlete’s head size, wrap a soft tape measure around the athlete’s head, just above their eyebrows and ears. Make sure the tape measure stays level from front to back. (If you don’t have a soft tape measure, you can use a string and then measure it against a ruler.) SIZES WILL VARY Helmet sizes often will vary from brand-to-brand, so it’s important to check out the helmet brand’s fit and sizing charts to find out what helmet size fits your athlete’s head size. While there is no concussion- Get a Good Fit: proof helmet, a batter’s helmet GENERAL FIT A batter’s helmet should fit snugly all around, with no spaces can help protect between the pads and the athlete’s head.
