The Space Telescope; NASA SP-392

197640798Washington DC: GPO 1976. Presumed First Edition/First Printing. Wraps. good. xi 1 231 1 pages. Wraps. Frontis illustration. Illustrations. Acronyms. Author index. Pencil erasure on half-title. This volume contains the author's summaries of their papers on the space telescope presented at the 21st annual meeting of the American Astronautical Society at Denver Colorado August 26-28 1975. Space-based astronomy had begun on a very small scale following World War II as scientists made use of developments that had taken place in rocket technology. The first ultraviolet spectrum of the Sun was obtained in 194612 and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA launched the Orbiting Solar Observatory OSO to obtain UV X-ray and gamma-ray spectra in 1962. An orbiting solar telescope was launched in 1962 by the United Kingdom as part of the Ariel space program and in 1966 NASA launched the first Orbiting Astronomical Observatory OAO mission. OAO-1's battery failed after three days terminating the mission. It was followed by OAO-2 which carried out ultraviolet observations of stars and galaxies from its launch in 1968 until 1972 well beyond its original planned lifetime of one year. The OSO and OAO missions demonstrated the important role space-based observations could play in astronomy and in 1968 NASA developed firm plans for a space-based reflecting telescope with a mirror 3 m in diameter known provisionally as the Large Orbiting Telescope or Large Space Telescope LST with a launch slated for 1979. These plans emphasized the need for manned maintenance missions to the telescope to ensure such a costly program had a lengthy working life and the concurrent development of plans for the reusable space shuttle indicated that the technology to allow this was soon to become available.

Interlocking Subversion in Government Departments; Hearing before the Subcommittee to Investigate the Administration of the Internal Security Act and Other Internal Security Laws of the Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate Eighty-third Congress First Session on Interlocking Subversion in Government Departments June 12 16 18 and 23 1953 PART 12

195390542Washington DC: United States Government Printing Office 1953. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Fair. PART 12 ONLY. iii 1 725-840 pages. Illustrations. Tabular Data. Cover is worn torn chipped and soiled. In this part 12 testimony was heard from Alice Prentice Barrows Saul Carson Irving Fajans Carl Aldo Marzani Margaret B. Porter Helen R. Tenney Craig S. Vincent and Milton Wolff. One of the purposes of these hearings was "to determine the extent of Communist infiltration of Government." The United States Senate's Special Subcommittee to Investigate the Administration of the Internal Security Act and Other Internal Security Laws 1951–77 known more commonly as the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee SISS and sometimes the McCarran Committee was authorized by S. 366 approved December 21 1950 to study and investigate 1 the administration operation and enforcement of the Internal Security Act of 1950 Pub. L. 81–831 also known as the McCarran Act and other laws relating to espionage sabotage and the protection of the internal security of the United States and 2 the extent nature and effects of subversive activities in the United States "including but not limited to espionage sabotage and infiltration of persons who are or may be under the domination of the foreign government or organization controlling the world Communist movement or any movement seeking to overthrow the Government of the United States by force and violence". The resolution also authorized the subcommittee to subpoena witnesses and require the production of documents. Because of the nature of its investigations the subcommittee is considered by some to be the Senate equivalent to the older House Un-American Activities Committee HUAC. The chairman of the subcommittee for the 82nd United States Congress was Patrick McCarran of Nevada. William Jenner of Indiana took over during the 83rd United States Congress after the Republicans gained control of the Senate in the 1952 election. When the Democrats regained control in the 84th Congress 1955–1957 James O. Eastland of Mississippi became chairman a position he had until the subcommittee was abolished during 1977. The subjects of its investigations during the 1950s include the formulation of U.S. foreign policy in Asia; the scope of Soviet activity in the United States; subversion in the Federal Government particularly in the Department of State and Department of Defense; immigration; the United Nations; youth organizations; the television radio and entertainment industry; the telegraph industry; the defense industry; labor unions; and educational organizations. The subcommittee published over 400 volumes of hearings and numerous reports documents and committee prints. During March 1951 FBI officials began a formal liaison program with the SISS in contract to the informal HUAC-FBI relationship whereby SISS agreed to focus its hearings on "matters of current internal security significance.and also to help the Bureau in every possible manner". This program reflected the FBI director's unqualified confidence in McCarran's ability to serve the cause of anticommunism and to protect the confidentiality of FBI sources.
