1963171122Richmond London: 1963. I'm a full-grown man/ I'm a man/ I'm a rollin' stone From the collection of Rolling Stones drummer and jazz aficionado Charlie Watts: an evocative memento signed by a trio of great blues musicians on the verso of a membership card for the legendary Crawdaddy Rhythm and Blues Club. Started in 1963 in the back room of a pub the Station Hotel in Richmond London by Georgian film-maker and music promoter Giorgio Gomelsky the club saw the first performance of the classic Rolling Stones line-up in February 1963 when the regular house band was stranded in the snow in the worst winter in over 200 years. Despite an unpromising start with Gomelsky forced to offer two for one admissions to customers in the hotel itself the word quickly spread and the club became something of a sensation. When the Stones became too big for the venue and departed on tour they were replaced by The Yardbirds featuring Eric Clapton the Crawdaddy remaining the headquarters of the burgeoning British Rhythm and Blues scene. The card is made out to a Michael Green of Ilford Essex whose membership number 1372 expiring in 1964 indicates that he evidently joined in the early days. The bluesmen were over as part of the American Blues Festival that had first toured Britain the previous year. Muddy Waters and Memphis Slim have signed in full Williams signing with three crosses with the subscribed sentiment in another hand perhaps Green's himself; "success from Big Joe hope will meet again soon". Tri-fold membership card printed in black 150 x 100 mm carrying the member's name and address membership number 1372 and expiry date 1964. Light soiling and minor creases otherwise in very good condition. unknown

Ink notation on front DJ flap. DJ has some wear and soiling. The days of speakeasies and bathtub gin on land were called "Rummie Days" at sea. Smugglers were fattening on the thirst of a Dry country and the Coast Guard with recommissioned destroyers and fast "picket boats" was engaged in a naval war. What began as a merry game of cops and robbers was later played for keeps when the syndicates moved in. This book shows the broad scale of an era in American history when an attempt to enforce an exaggerated idea of morality caused corruption and carnage. The Rum Patrol was an operation of the United States Coast Guard to interdict liquor smuggling vessels known as "rum runners" in order to enforce prohibition in American waters. On 18 December 1917 the 18th Amendment to the Constitution was submitted to the states by Congress. On 16 January 1919 the amendment was ratified and the Liquor Prohibition Amendment which prohibited the manufacture sale transportation importation or exportation of intoxicating liquors came into effect on 16 January 1920. The establishment of prohibition gave rise to smuggling of illicit liquor into the United States overland from Canada and from ships moored just outside the three-mile limit along the Atlantic seaboard. By 1921 "Rum Row" existed off New York City and the New Jersey shore as well as near Boston and the Chesapeake and Delaware bays. The Florida coast and New Orleans were also points of entry used by rum runners. Smaller boats were used to transfer the cargos from the mother ships on Rum Row under cover of darkness to the shore. In February 1922 the Commandant of the Coast Guard Rear Admiral William E. Reynolds informed the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Roy Asa Haynes that although the Coast Guard was tasked with the enforcement of prohibition Congress had not included any funding for the additional maintenance and operation of vessels. Since there was no funding enforcement by Coast Guard vessels was in connection with other enforcement duties. The first important seizure was the British-registered schooner Henry L. Marshall by USCGC Seneca in 1921. Since The Coast Guard was tasked with prohibiting the importation of liquor through U.S. waters and it didn't have the resources to do so Commandant Reynolds submitted a plan to Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon that called for 20 new cutters 200 coastal patrol cutters and 90 fast picket boats. He also asked for 20 million dollars to fund new construction and an additional 3500 personnel to man the new vessels. To deal with this problem twenty-five destroyers were transferred by the United States Navy to the Treasury Department for service with the Coast Guard. Some began to show signs of wear and tear after the often arduous pace of operations on the Rum Patrol and required replacement. Accordingly six of the newer flush deck destroyers were transferred to the Treasury Department in 1930-1932. It was thought that adapting these older vessels for Coast Guard service would be less costly than building new ships. In the end however the rehabilitation of the vessels became a saga in itself because of the exceedingly poor condition of many of these war-weary ships. In many instances it took nearly a year to bring the vessels up to seaworthiness. Additionally these were by far the largest and most sophisticated vessels ever operated by the service and trained personnel were nearly nonexistent. As a result Congress authorized hundreds of new enlistees. These inexperienced men generally made up the destroyer crews. Some of the destroyers were pre-World War I 742-ton "flivvers" capable of over 25 kn 29 mph; 46 km/h - an advantage in the rum-chasing business. They were however easily outmaneuvered by smaller vessels. The destroyers' mission therefore was to picket the larger mother ships and prevent them from off-loading their cargo onto the smaller speedier contact boats that ran the liquor into shore. On 20 February 1933 the 21st Amendment to the Constitution the repeal of Amendment 18 was proposed by Congress and ratification was completed on 5 December 1933. This eliminated the need for the Rum Patrol. The remaining destroyers were returned to the Navy and sold for scrap. Hastings House hardcover

1947335696Washington DC: Agnes Waters 1947. 8p. pamphlet 5.5x8.5 inches "Native Fascist" penciled in corner otherwise very good. Reprint of Waters' testimony during hearings before the Committee on Foreign Relations discussing a bill to provide aid to Greece and Turkey in March 1947. Numerous passages have been underlined in the reprint with a blurb at the end about the importance of sharing Waters' testimony. Waters has been called the most inflammatory speaker from the Mothers' Movement a network of far-right isolationist women's groups that sought to prevent the US from entering WWII and after it had begun sought withdrawal. Here she argues that foreign aid is a Jewish scheme. "The American Government confronted with forty-odd millions of our own American citizens ill-fed ill-housed and sick sick of wars and never even paid the soldiers' bonus; yet this Senate can find plenty of taxpayers' moneys to rush out of this country to the aid of foreigners in alien lands in the countless billions. And these Jews also gain as brokers on the exchange of this money. Why Because it is a plot schemed up by the Jews to rob us and to follow our cash with our blood. That's why. It is the old Shylock Jew pawnbrokers' business working to take over all nations. There will never be any peace on this earth as long as this Jewish plunder bund exists. Agnes Waters unknown
