(W.T. Brown) Glossary, Names of Coal Seams: Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, Southwestern Virginia, and Ohio. 1947. Mimeographed. 27 leaves. Rare. (Perhaps also produced and distributed by Brown as a consultant, "Coal, Coke, and By-products, Pittsburgh PA"?). Since a single coal seam can have different names in different states across the Appalachian coal region the names need to be correlated?this work functions as a cross-reference of seam names.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. ENKE, Stephen. Defense of Whom? "Internal Note #30", April 10, 1963. 11"x 8.5", 12 lvs. Mimeograph. VG condition (probably a little better than that). [++] I'm not 100% sure if this is a "modest proposal" contemplation of subtle outrageousness or if it is a real assignment of value to human life in the defense of a population against a nuclear attack by the Soviet Union on the U.S. I'm not saying that this sort of planning or thinking doesn't happen, and that it wasn't (isn't?) to some degree necessary, but the report has a hint of the recognition of the bottom-line absurdity that it is addressing. Dr. Enke a top-flight economist and demographer begins his discussion of passive and aggressive defense against nuclear attack by defining his terms and limiting the discussion to the preservation of the population and engages in a somewhat brusque discussion of the economics of fatalities. Frankly this is where I do not understand if he is mocking the futility of the exercise or if he is recognizing the difficult necessity of protecting the post-attack US for allocating resources to the preservation of surviving added-value people. For example, the author says that younger people will have a "post-attack value that is distinctly positive", with the "most valuable" be 20-30 years old; people of 60 "although still producers may have a zero capital value"; "older people may have negative economic worths". Also there's this "corpses are at worst a disposal problem", while "severely injured survivors are the real immediate problem, and caring for them is a nuisance, and their suffering will demoralize others". There's more like this. [++] I've read a number of reports like this that are drop-dead treatments of nuclear war survival issues like this, though none have used language and a presentation quite so, well, shocking, as this one. If the man was making a "Dr. Strangeloveian" statement on the utter absurdity of offensive and defensive planning for our nuclear war endgame, he did a very good job. I think it is not possible to come away from reading this report without a strong vision of Slim Pickens' Major Kong riding his nuke like a bronco buster into the great abyss of no-more-tomorrows. [++] (Note that this report is published about six months after the Cuban Missile Crisis.) [NOTE: Dr. Stephen Enke, (Stanford and Ph.D. Harvard, economist and demographer, 1916-1974).Held posts at General Electric's Center for Advanced Studies, Agency for International Development, the Rand Corporation, the Institute of Defense Analysis and the Center for Naval Analysis. He served on university faculties, including Duke, Yale, the University of California at Los Angeles, and of Cape Town, South Africa, and was Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for economics.].

No Binding. Condition: Fair. Collier, John. (Indian Affairs) "The June 11 Report of the Senate Sub-Committee on Indian Investigation, a Statement by Commissioner John Collier." June 30, 1943. 11"x 8.5", 8pp, 4 unbound leaves. Plus three pieces of ephemeral publications regarding Senate Report 310. Printed on newsprint. Provenance: Library of Congress, with their rubber stamp on last page. FAIR condition only, the paper being browned, and brittle, with short tears and bumps. That said, there are no copies located by WorldCat, and the document seems to be rare. It's not a good copy, but it is legible, and it exists. [++] I'm not sure that I've ever seen a bureau head in D.C. take down a report as strongly as in this document. The response is from John Collier, Commissioner of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and his reaction to what seems like a spectacularly bad effort in Senate Report 310 for June 11, 1943, published by the US government under the names of the chair and members of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. It looks like a wholesale and vicious attack on the Native population, suggesting making Indian lands taxable, sopping land payments, abolishing Indian schools and hospitals, and much more of the same. In the document offered here Collier said the Senate report was so terrible that it could not have possibly been done with the knowledge of any of the senator, outlining his reasoning. The 310 Report was pretty bad a little on the insane side. [++] Tyler, S. Lyman, in his study "A Study of the changes in Policy of the United States Toward Indians", Brigham Young University, p. 43, refers to Report 310 as "unscholarly and unobjective" that was bent on "dismembering the Bureau of Indian Affairs in all forms and programs".

Wessman, Harold E(verett) (1899-1989) and William A. Rose. Aerial Bombardment Protection. MIMEOGRAPH New York University, College of Engineering (I assume). (No publisher or publication data listed.) Provenance: Library of Congress, rubber stamped received 28 April 1942. There are NO copies found in WorldCat. Printed no later than April 1942. Condition notes: this is a FAIR copy at best, with some problems around the edges of the text. The work is staple-bound in a very weak spot so it is easy to disengage the leaves fro the staples, which has happened here in a number of places. That said, this is a rare item, and it exists. There you have it. Sections 1-14, 41pp, plus 12 plates (one folding), with 11 plates of tables and figures. (ii), 41[[, 12 "plates" (tables), including a folding schematic of bombs striking a skyscraper. Mimeographed from the typed originals. Printed on 11"x 8.5" sheets. Pp 1-41 contain sections 1-14. Pp 59-72 contains just section 19 (Air Raid Shelters). Presumably this lacks pp 41-58 sections 15-18.

Section 19: air raid shelters, complete in itself, pp 59-72.

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Goodwin, John E.

Offset printed from typed originals. Staple-bound. Wrappers. Provenance: Library of Congress, with their tiny (6mm) perforated stamp on the front cover and the surplus rubber stamp on rear cover. VG copy. __+__ Tide mills submerged water wheels that run machinery have been used in Maine at least since the 18th century. But tide mills are small-scale projects. For nearly 90 years, the idea of harnessing ocean tides on a larger scale, to generate electricity, has been debated in Maine. The most prominent and often controversial plan has been the Passamaquoddy Tidal Power Project.Discussion of reviving the Passamaquoddy Tidal Power Project has surfaced every few years, with studies undertaken and debates renewed. Each time, most people agree that the engineering plan is sound: the project could be built and it would work. Other considerations, however, have kept the project from being resumed. Maine History Online. The project funded for 1936 was not renewed the following year, and construction was halted. The first large scale tidal power generating plant was not made operational until 1966, in France.

No Binding. Condition: Good. Japanese to Sign Surrender Aboard USS Missouri Mightiest Ship in the United States Fleet, this being a press release from U.S. Department of the Navy. Dated August 28, 1945. 11x8.5", 2 leavers, stapled. Provenance: Miss Estelle and Miss Helene Philibert (Alexandria, Virginia), who worked for the U.S. Department of the Navy in the 1940's-1960's (at least), and who were, in particular, biographers of Samuel Eliot Morrison and John Paul Jones. Although I can find numerous copies in WorldCat, I haven't been able (over time) to find a copy of this release available in the trade. GOOD condition--there's some wrinkling (from pressure) at the right bottom of the 3pp press release. [++] This press release comes at the very end of World War II--the end in Europe, (VE Day) was May 8, 1945, while the Armistice with Japan--the governing powers finally seeing the clear end after two atomic bombs six days later, on August 14 , while the formal signing of the declaration and instrument of surrender occurred on September 2. The U.S.S. Missouri was just 14 months old at this point, and had in that time already seen action at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. It was the newest of the Iowa-class ships, and was certainly enormous (887') and powerful, and a fitting stage for the signing ceremony. After years of war, the proceedings for signing over the end of the devastating war took all of 23 minutes.
