Photograph album illustrating Eisenhower's presentation to St Paul's Cathedral of the Roll of Honor.

19511604641951. Commemorating the American fallen A compelling album apparently made by the family of a fallen serviceman and therefore unique commemorating Eisenhower's presentation of the Roll of Honor to St Paul's Cathedral. The roll lists the 28000 American soldiers stationed in Britain who gave their lives in the Second World War. The album includes large-format photographs of the military procession to the ceremony; attendees entering the cathedral including Churchill Mountbatten Attlee the Queen Mother and Princess Elizabeth Eisenhower and Curtis LeMay; photographs of the service including the congregation singing hymns and the sermon by the Archbishop of Canterbury; and Eisenhower leaving the Cathedral. The ceremony was held on Independence Day. Eisenhower delivered a message: "Each name inscribed in this book is a story of personal tragedy and a grieving family; a story repeated endlessly in white crosses girdling the globe. The Americans whose names here appear were part of the price that free men have been forced a second time to pay in this century to defend human liberty and rights". The album includes a copy of a page from the roll listing names from Hiltabidle to Hitchings - presumably the album was made by the family of someone listed there. We could trace no other similar album. In 1958 the American Memorial Chapel was completed in a part of the cathedral that a bomb had hit in 1940. The roll now resides there and a page is turned each day to show different names. Landscape quarto album 318 x 419 mm. Four letterpress leaves partly printed in gilt comprising title excerpt from the Archbishop of Canterbury's address Eisenhower's introduction to the Roll of Honour and copy of page from roll all with acetate covers. Tan leatherette front cover lettered in blind "Commemoration Service - St. Paul's Cathedral - July 4. 1951." cord-bound cord recently renewed 33 heavy card leaves with 28 mounted black and white silver gelatin press photographs 203 x 254 cm most captioned by hand. Binding neatly restored and consolidated the photographs in sharp unblemished condition slight discolouration around letterpress leaves. In very good condition. hardcover

Signed on the facsimile of the D-Day orders letter addressed to the "Soldiers Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!" / Includes a typewritten letter signed by Eisenhower on his personal letterhead: "Dear Mr. Bond: To the thanks you have undoubtedly already received for your generous contribution during the recent campaign I wish to add my own. "Since November 4th my thoughts have turned often to those whose faith and support - and financial contributions - helped to make victory possible. In the task of bringing the message of our Crusade to all of our fellow Americans we would have failed without their much-needed help. "That is why I am particularly glad of this opportunity to express my gratitude to you and to ask for your continued support. "Sincerely Dwight D Eisenhower" / This edition includes the powerful letter Eisenhower drafted for D-Day and representing thus a key turning point in World War II. The letter opens with these lines: "You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. . ." He ends elegantly "Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Al-mighty God upon this great and noble undertaking." / "This stands head and shoulders above the other records of fighting men in its simplicity clarity and the illumination it throws on the basic human relations of the men at top. In his Normandy to the Baltic Montgomery wrote: - â€˜We are still too close to attempt a critical analysis of the campaign.â€™ The same could be said of this book but in spite of that General Eisenhower manages to convey a sense of objective surveying of the forging of victory over the Germans. This is the real inside story of the war in Europe not in terms of jealousy and backbiting and gossip mongering but in terms of its planning its diplomacy its action and its victorious ending. More than that it is revealing of the greatness the modesty the statesmanship of one of Americaâ€™s truly great men. This is more than a soldierâ€™s story. It is the story of Americaâ€™s contribution to victory of the splendid cooperation of the allies of campaigns in Africa Sicily Italy France and Germany." - Kirkus Reviews.

Former President Eisenhower Writes Henry Ford II Indicating His View That Automation Does Not Cost Jobs but Encourages Americans to Be Self-Reliant

19622622630/01/1962. <blockquote>Ford had taken that position as a member of the President's Advisory Committee on Labor-Management Policy</blockquote> <blockquote>â€œI too feel that automation can result in increased productivity if intelligence is applied to the problem and if we encourage the initiative and self-reliance of the American citizen instead as seems to be the case lulling him into letting the central government take over.â€</blockquote>In the waning days of 1960 President Eisenhower prepared to leave office and hand the presidency to John F. Kennedy. Henry Ford II was a close confidant of Eisenhowerâ€™s and during his presidency provided Ike with important assistance. On three occasions Ford lent one of his senior executives Leo Beebe to the U.S. government to supervise the resettlement of refugees and manage similar projects. Beebe became executive vice chairman of Eisenhowerâ€™s Committee for Hungarian Refugees in 1956 a need that resulted from the Hungarian Revolution and subsequent flight from the country of many refugees. In addition to his committee work during 1956-1957 while working out of Camp Kilmer in northern New Jersey Beebe oversaw the relocation and resettlement of 35000 Hungarian refugees in the United States eventually finding them permanent residences in this country. In 1959-1960 BeebeÂ organized the U.S. Center for Cuban Refugees in Miami Florida to help with the mass influx of Cuban refugees that fled Castroâ€™s Cuba in 1960 and beyond.Â Ford backed the refugee aid effort all the way and it was of incalculable importance.In 1960 Robert McNamara was President of the Ford Motor Company. Kennedy the President-elect sought to name McNamara Secretary of Defense. Ford agreed to spare McNamara yet another example of his Henry Ford IIâ€™s largess.The friendship and collaboration of Eisenhower and Ford continued after Ike left office.The President's Advisory Committee on Labor-Management Policy which was established by President Kennedy in February 1961 to promote free and responsible collective bargaining industrial peace sound wage and price policies higher standards of living and increased productivity. The Committee also considered policies designed to ensure that American products were competitive in world markets as well as examine the benefits and problems created by automation and other technological advances. Other topics it took on included pensions railroads taxes collective bargaining and economic recovery.Henry Ford II president of Ford Motor Company was a member of the committee. The majority report found that automation causes unemployment. Ford dissented saying â€œIts major premise is the assumption that automation and technological advance are in and of themselves significant causes of unemploymentâ€”an assumption that neither history nor an analysis of current unemployment supportsâ€¦The factual evidence strongly indicates that while automation displaces some individuals from jobs they have held its overall effect is to increase income and expand job opportunities. History teaches us that by and large workers displaced by technological advance have moved rapidly into other employment ultimately to better paying jobs. Ifâ€¦we would help persons displaced by technological advance we must focus our attention not on relief or even training though these properties properly conceived and administered will help - but on creating new jobs for people who seek them and can perform in them.â€Eisenhower wrote Ford expressing his agreement with that dissent.Typed letter signed on his letterhead Palm Desert January 30 1962 to Henry Ford II. â€œArthur Burns who would later become Chairman of the Federal Reserve sent me a copy of the report of the President's Advisory Committee on Labor-Management Policy After reading it I want to congratulate you on your dissent. I too feel that automation can result in increased productivity if intelligence is applied to the problem and if we encourage the initiative and self-reliance of the American citizen instead as seems to be the case lulling him into letting the central government take over.â€œAnd on a brand new and far different subject Mrs. Whitman asked me to tell you how much she is enjoying the car that you put at her disposal. She says that the joy of driving it with the sun touching the tops of the mountains is almost compensation for what she claims is the barbaric hour at which I like to do my morning work. She - and I - are most grateful to you. With warm personal regard and again: are you coming out this wayâ€A very interesting opinion of Eisenhower expressing that automation is a positive good and helps workers rather than harms them.<img class=""alignnone wp-image-25018 size-post-window"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /> unknown

Archive: U.S.S. Nautilus

1953425891New London Connecticut: General Dynamics Electric Boat 1953. Unbound. Near Fine. A collection of 50 black and white press photographs of the U.S.S. Nautilus measuring 8" x 10". Additionally included are a newspaper clipping and two programs discussing the ship. All items near fine with some edgewear. An archive of photographs and programs following the construction and later christening of the U.S.S. Nautilus the first nuclear powered submarine. The photographs are part of the public relations branch of General Dynamics Corporation's Electric Boat Division which was responsible for constructing the ship. A brochure from 1952 when construction began is entitled "The Beginning of an Era" and according to a printed note from the Chairman was "prepared to commemorate an occasion significant in history - the first application of atomic power to propulsion - in a submarine now to help preserve the peace." It continues "I am sure you share my pride that the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation was selected for this most important undertaking and I hope that you will find interest and pleasure in this brochure as a memento of the keel laying." The earliest photographs depict the keeling process and early construction including a photo of President Truman from the keel laying ceremony. In 1954 when the submarine was completed the christening ceremony was conducted by Mamie Eisenhower. A program from this ceremony is also featured here along with professional photographs from the event. The introduction of the program reads "January 21 1954 lives in history as the launching day of the world's first atomic powered vessel the submarine "Nautilus.'" It continues "we are particularly honored to have as our sponsor the First Lady of the Land Mrs. Dwight David Eisenhower." The photos show Mamie arriving by train the crowds surrounding the submarine and Mamie holding a bottle of champagne for the christening. One of these photos shows Mamie in a fur coat with the president of the Electric Boat Division showing her where to break the champagne bottle. Other images show the launched submarine departing the dock and Mamie touching the hands of people in the crowd and handing roses to children. The use of nuclear propulsion allowed the vessel to stay submerged longer and thus it was able to travel to places "previously beyond the limits of submarines." In August of 1958 it was the first vessel to complete a "submerged transit of the North Pole." According to the National Park Service "Nautilus was decommissioned in 1980 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982." An interesting collection detailing the early days of the first atomic powered submarine. General Dynamics Electric Boat unknown
