19622622630/01/1962. <blockquote><p>Ford had taken that position as a member of the President's Advisory Committee on Labor-Management Policy</p></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote><p>“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€</p></blockquote><p>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 Eisenhower’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 Eisenhower’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 Beebe organized the U.S. Center for Cuban Refugees in Miami Florida to help with the mass influx of Cuban refugees that fled Castro’s Cuba in 1960 and beyond. Ford backed the refugee aid effort all the way and it was of incalculable importance.</p><p>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 II’s largess.</p><p>The friendship and collaboration of Eisenhower and Ford continued after Ike left office.</p><p>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.</p><p>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 “Its major premise is the assumption that automation and technological advance are in and of themselves significant causes of unemployment—an assumption that neither history nor an analysis of current unemployment supports…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. If…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€</p><p>Eisenhower wrote Ford expressing his agreement with that dissent.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on his letterhead Palm Desert January 30 1962 to Henry Ford II. <em>“Arthur Burns</em> who would later become Chairman of the Federal Reserve <em>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.</em></p><p><em>“And 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€</em></p><p>A very interesting opinion of Eisenhower expressing that automation is a positive good and helps workers rather than harms them.</p><p><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"" /></p> unknown

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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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."<br /> <br /> An interesting collection detailing the early days of the first atomic powered submarine.

308161/3/52. <blockquote><p>Justice Owen J. Roberts resigned from the Supreme Court to advocate for a Federal Union of democracies and to unite one group favoring world government and the other favoring Union of the Democracies</p></blockquote><p>From 1951-52 Eisenhower was the Allied Supreme Commander in Europe which title included the post of head of NATO. In 1952 Turkey joined NATO and Ike traveled to Ankara Turkey to seal with his presence the membership of Turkey in Europe.</p><p>Justice Owen J. Roberts resigned from the Supreme Court in 1945 and was afterwards instrumental in forming the Atlantic Union which would advocate for a Federal Union of Democracies but with a gradual approach to final world union by way of regional unions. Two million people signed a petition that the U.S. and Great Britain unify others wanted to start with the U.S. and Canada. Roberts said that although he approved of NATO he thought it was a fine tradition but could not prevent war and that permanent peace required a federation of likeminded peoples. Nor could the UN be relied upon with the power the Soviets had in that body. In 1952 a new group was formed whose members agreed with Roberts’ views the Atlantic Citizens Congress whose members were drawn partly from the Atlantic Union Committee and partly from outside.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on his letterhead Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe 1 March 1952 to Justice Owen J. Roberts saying he is departing for Turkey and that he is grateful for receiving information on the new Atlantic Citizens organization. <em>“Dear Mr. Justice: Although my schedule is extremely rushed by last minute preparations before departing on a trip to the Mediterranean area I want you to know of my appreciation of your furnishing me a copy of Atlantic Citizens Congress. I am having it placed aboard the airplane with the hope that the long journey to Ankara on Monday will permit me an opportunity to read the booklet thoroughly.

14013045914/01/1953. <blockquote><p>“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 follow Americans we would have failed without their much-needed help.â€</p></blockquote><p>The 1952 United States presidential election was held on Tuesday November 4 1952. Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower won a landslide victory over Illinois Democratic Governor Adlai Stevenson becoming the first Republican president in 20 years. This was the first election since 1928 without an incumbent president on the ballot. Eisenhower was re-elected in 1956 in a rematch with Stevenson.</p><p>The 1952 presidential election campaign was conducted against the backdrop of a “red scare†in which many Americans feared that foreign communist agents were attempting to infiltrate the government. Two years earlier Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy who held that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations amounted to “20 years of treason†claimed that he had a list of State Department employees who were loyal only to the Soviet Union. Though McCarthy offered no evidence to support his charges and revealed only a single name he won a large personal following. The Red Scare the stalemated Korean War and a renewal of inflation handicapped Stevenson who fought a vigorous campaign.</p><p>Eisenhower campaigned tirelessly impressing millions with his warmth and sincerity. His wide friendly grin wartime heroics and middle-class pastimes—he was an avid golfer endeared him to the public and garnered him vast support. On the eve of the election there was a general opinion that the presidential race was close. The final tally however was anything but. Eisenhower won by more than six million votes capturing 39 states and 442 electoral votes to Stevenson’s 9 states and 89 electoral votes. The election was considered a great personal triumph for Eisenhower.</p><p>In the wake of the election Eisenhower thanked his major contributors for their financial support which had enabled him to bring his message to the American people.</p><p><strong>Typed letter signed</strong> on his letterhead New York January 14 1953 to Hugh Moore president of the Dixie Cup Company and a supporter of his. <em>“Dear Mr. Moore: To the thanks you have undoubtedly already received for your generous contribution during the campaign I wish to add my own.</em></p><p><em>“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.â€</em></p><p>It is interesting that Eisenhower saw his election as a crusade and his views as carrying a message.</p><p><img class=""alignnone size-post-window wp-image-25018"" src=""https://cdn.raabcollection.com/wp-content/uploads/20231204144051/Folder-site-11-1600x1327.jpg"" alt="""" width=""1600"" height=""1327"" /></p> unknown

250444/4/52. <blockquote><p>Ike signed this as president and sent it to a Navy veteran</p></blockquote><p>On April 4 1949 twelve nations from Western Europe and North America signed the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington D.C. A key feature of this treaty is Article 5 in which the signatory members agreed that ""an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all.†Initially however the alliance was not very well prepared to carry out the mission of defending its territory. In addition to grave shortages of troops and equipment there was no command structure to direct the overall defense of Western Europe just committees - known as ""Regional Planning Groups"" - that were charged with drawing up plans for the defense of their regions.</p><p>The 12 original members were the United States Canada Britain Belgium Denmark France Iceland Italy Luxembourg the Netherlands Norway and Portugal.</p><p>All this changed after the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 which raised fears that Europe could face a similar threat over divided Germany. The nations of the alliance agreed to increase their defence efforts and began working on the creation of an integrated military command structure with an overall commander for NATO forces in Europe.</p><p>Selecting the first Supreme Allied Commander Europe SACEUR was easy since everyone's first choice was the popular and respected U.S. Army Gen.

".because this possible peril existed Vice President Nixon and I in consultation with the Attorney General prior to my 1956 operation reduced to memorandum form our understanding as to what would be the Vice President's role in the event of a Presidential disability." - former President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution clarifies the presidential line of succession and eliminates ambiguity about the role of the Vice President. As President Eisenhower noted in his preface his signed agreement with Vice President Nixon did not have the legal authority to make Nixon the president if Eisenhower had become incapacitated during his surgeries. The death of President Kennedy brought new focus on the presidential line of succession with legislation for the Twenty-fifth Amendment proposed by Senator Bayh in 1965 and ratified by the states in 1967.

19531581571953. A notable portrait presented to a prominent early supporter Inscribed by the president "For Senator William A. Purtell with best wishes and warm regard from his friend Dwight D. Eisenhower"; an appealing image of a pensive Eisenhower by renowned Capitol Hill photographer George Tames taken in the White House as Eisenhower announced the truce ending the Korean War. Purtell 1897-1978 served as Republican Senator for Connecticut in 1952 and from 1953 to 1959. He was one of the earliest Connecticut Republicans to support Eisenhower's run for the presidency. In turn Purtell's success in the November 1952 Connecticut senatorial election rode on the back of the strong public support for Eisenhower in the simultaneous presidential election; Purtell allied himself closely to Eisenhower's campaign platform. "A strong supporter of President D. Eisenhower's policies Senator Purtell was also a staunch American who liked to say: 'we have the finest country the finest system of society and the finest government in the world'" New York Times obituary 1 June 1978. The photographer George Tames 1919-1994 worked for the New York Times on Capitol Hill and in Washington from 1945 to 1985 taking many shots which became iconic. He took the photograph after Eisenhower's joint radio and television address to the nation announcing the signing of the Korean Armistice 26 July 1953. Interestingly this image would have been familiar to millions of Americans through its use on the 6 cent stamp issued in 1970. Official photograph taken by George Tames 358 x 280 mm copyright notice to verso stating reproduction by the Signal Corps of the US Army.
