Above to Obtain Their Complete Backgrounds and Detailed MFM Cita- Tions above to obtain their complete backgrounds and detailed MFM cita- tions. The names below are in alphabetical order, but unlike tb’e list above the names appear in the usual format, that is first name first, etc. Dean Acheson - diplomat, State Department official and later Sec- retary of State under President Truman. Irving Berlin - musical composer and lyricist; wrote "America the Beautiful," which many people think should be America’s national anthem. John L. Collyer - head of B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co. 1939-54; his MFM was for work on the development and production of synthetic rubber and for service as Director of the Rubber Program of the World War II War Production Board. Elmer Davis - newspaper and radio journalist. Bradley Dewey - First Lieutenant to Colonel, Army Chemical Warfare Service in World War I; Deputy Director and Director of the War Production Board 1942-44. Goldthwaite H. Dorr - Seaman, U.S. Navy in the Spanish-American War; Assistant Director of Munitions, U.S. War Department, in World War I, for which he was awarded the Army Distinguished Service Medal; Special Assistant to the Secretary of War 1942- 45. Allen W. Dulles - chief of World War II Office of Strategic Ser- vices (OSS) in Switzerland; later Director of the Central In- telligence Agency under President Eisenhower; brother of John Foster Dulles, Secretary of State under President Eisenhower. Dr. John Ray Dunning - Director of War Research at Columbia Univer- sity 1941-46. Joseph Bartlett Eastman - World War II Director of the Office of Defense Transportation. Charles Fahy - Naval Aviator, USNRF during World War I when he won the Navy Cross; Solicitor General of the United States (Justice Department) 1941-45. Dr. Enrico Fermi - scientist who contributed to the development of atomic power. Edsel Bryant Ford - Ford ~otor Company executive. See Henry Ford, below. Henry Ford - developer of mass produced and reasonably priced auto- mobiles, including the Model A and Model T; founder of the Ford Motor Company. The award of the MFM to Henry Ford has an odd sidelight. By the 1930’s he was no longer in touch with changes in technology, marketing, and management, which had caused his company to lose its top position to General Motors. Initially during World War II this disability was not too much of a pro- blem, because his son, Edsel B. Ford, bad a major hand in the management of the business. But Edsel’s declining health and death resulted in severe disarray in the company under the elder Ford. Finally the elder Ford’s grandson - Edsel Ford’s oldest son - Henry Ford II was discharged as a Navy officer during the war to return to Detroit, take over the management of the company, and straighten it out and make it function pro- perly for the war effort. William C. Foster - Director of Purchases Division, Army Service Forces, and Special Representative to the Under Secretary of War on U.S. Army Air Forces Procurement during World War II; later Director of the U.S. Control and Disarmament Agency 1961-69. 16 Dr. Edwin Broun Fred - World War I, First Lieutenant, Army Chemical Warfare Service; bacteriologist, Professor and Department Chair- man at the University of Wisconsin during World War II era. Leroy R. Grumman - Grumman Aircraft Co. executive. Sidney Hillman - labor union leader. J. Edgar Hoover - head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the Justice Department. Bob Hope - comedian, entertainer, and movie star. Mr. Hope’s sup- port for the military continues to the present. He has presen- ted Christmas sho1¢s for GI’s during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and, in December 1983, to the Marines stationed in Beirut, Lebanon. Cordell Hull - U.S. Senator, World War II Secretary of State, and one of the main figures in the founding of the United Nations. Mr. Hull was, as of 1947, the only person to win the MFM twice, his second award being represented by a bronze oak leaf cluster of the type used on Army decorations. Dr. Charles F. Kettering - physician. The Kettering Institute was named after him. Frank Knox - World War II Secretary of the Navy. Fiorello 17. LaGuardia - member of the U.S. House of Representatives; Mayor of New York City during World War II; noted for reading the funnies over the radio to children during a newspaper strike. George W.

He discovered the rays emitted from the uranium salts in pitchblende, called Becquerel rays, which led to the isolation of radium and to the beginning of modern nuclear physics. He shared the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics with Pierre and Marie Curie for the discovery of radioactivity.1 Early Life Antoine Henri Becquerel was born in Paris, France on December 15, 1852.3 He was born into a family of scientists and scholars. His grandfather, Antoine Cesar Bequerel, invented an electrolytic method for extracting metals from their ores. His father, Alexander Edmond Becquerel, a Professor of Applied Physics, was known for his research on solar radiation and on phosphorescence.2, 3 Becquerel not only inherited their interest in science, but he also inherited the minerals and compounds studied by his father, which gave him a ready source of fluorescent materials in which to pursue his own investigations into the mysterious ways of Wilhelm Roentgen’s newly discovered phenomenon, X-rays.2 Henri received his formal, scientific education at Ecole Polytechnique in 1872 and attended the Ecole des Ponts at Chaussees from 1874-77 for his engineering training.

  • The Highest Civilian Award During World War II March 11
    The Highest Civilian Award During World War II March 11 A little over one month after the United States trounced the Japanese at the Battle of Midway in 1942, the 77th Congress created two new decorations for exemplary service to the nation during the war. Public Law 77-671, passed on July 20, 1942, created the Legion of Merit for members of armed forces and the Medal for Merit for civilians. Both awards were created specifically for “exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services” done after the President issued a proclamation of emergency on September 8, 1939. The Legion of Merit was awarded to many in the armed forces who would later become household names within NSA’s civilian leadership. This decoration is still awarded today. The Medal for Merit, however, was reserved for those in civilian status during the war, and was discontinued in 1952. At the time, it was the highest decoration for civilians and was approved by the President. In August 1944, the Signal Security Agency nominated William Friedman for the Medal for Merit, but initially he was not “favorably considered” by the Adjutant General of the Army. Archival research thus far has not revealed the reason why his nomination was not initially acceptable, but it is possible that the reason was partly due to the fact that the Signal Security Agency did not then report directly to the War Department and therefore his nomination package faced too many approval layers. By September 1945, the Army’s signal intelligence functions were placed directly under the command of the War Department and rebranded as the Army Security Agency.

WIESNER Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1979 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. VANNEVAR BUSH March 11,1890-June 28,1974 BY JEROME B. WIESNER o AMERICAN has had greater influence in the growth of N science and technology than Vannevar Bush, and the twentieth century may yet not produce his equal. He was an ingenious engineer and an imaginative educator, but above all he was a statesman of integrity and creative ability. He orga- nized and led history's greatest research program during World War II and, with a profound understanding of implications for the future, charted the course of national policy during the years that followed. The grandson of two sea captains, "Van" Bush manifested his Cape Cod heritage in a salty, independent, forthright per- sonality. He was a man of strong opinions, which he expressed and applied with vigor, yet he stood in awe of the mysteries of nature, had a warm tolerance for human frailty, and was open- minded to change and to new solutions to problems. He was pragmatic, yet had the imagination and sensitivity of a poet, and was steadily optimistic. These essential qualities speak clearly in the foreword which he wrote in January 1970 for his book of reminiscences, Pieces of the Action: In my time, it has been my good fortune to have a piece of the action here and there in varied circumstances.
