Wraps. 174p., 23 cm. Senator Estes Kefauver was the Chairman of the Senate Crime Investigating Committee (May 10, 1950--May 1, 1951). This account is based upon the testimony taken at the hearings and upon the reports of the Special Committee to Investigate Crime in Interstate Commerce popularly known as the Kefauver Committee to the Senate, prior to May 1, 1951. The Committee was formed due to a phenomenon early in 1950 of an accumulation of politico-criminal corruption events of local governments. Chairman of the Committee from May 10, 1950 to May 1, 1951 was Estes Kefauver, United States Senator from Tennessee he conducted the crime hearings with a modest, courteous, intelligent demeanor and captured the public's imagination in a spectacular way. He was able to get facts out of reluctant hoodlums without browbeating and almost singlehandedly conducted most of the hearings on ninety-two separate days. He patiently gathered evidence and told the stories in an eloquent dignified fair but firm manner of Chicago Police Captain Daniel A. Gilbert, known as the richest cop in the world, and various lawyers, accountants, and tax consultants that were employed by gangsters, which amounted to them actively participating and subsidizing gang affairs. He became the conscience of America inspiring all but the most cynical citizens to want to get out and do something about it so many communities also formed Crime Commissions. Consequently, nationwide disclosures on this particular problem found this disturbing activity being repeated in other large cities of the country. Radio and TV programs beseeched Estes Kefauver for appearances; every columnist printed items, analyses or anecdotes about him, his fan mail was monumental. Here is the interesting story of Estes Kefauver who Senator Tobey his Republican colleague put in a tribute at one of the final hearings, "this man had in his heart a need of decency in America, the people heard him, saw him (thanks to the youthful television industry), and liked him.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. xii, 394, [2] pages. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrated with 16 pages of photographs. Foreword by Sidney Shalett. Acknowledgments and Bibliography. Index. DJ is in a plastic sleeve and is worn, torn, soiled and chipped. Inscription on the title page signed by James Roosevelt. James "Jimmy" Roosevelt II[1] (December 23, 1907 - August 13, 1991) was an American businessman, Marine, activist, and Democratic Party politician. The oldest son of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt, he received the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism while serving as a Marine Corps officer during World War II. He served as an official Secretary to the President and in the United States House of Representatives. Sidney Shalett (1911-1965) was a writer who also worked for the Chattanooga Times and the New York Times, and in 1947 became a Washington correspondent for American Magazine. He interviewed the Roosevelt family for a project on President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Derived from a Kirkus review: Subtitled A Son's Story of a Lonely Man,this is a warm, generous,reminiscence of F.D.R., the parent rather than the politician, by his oldest son, then a Congressman from California. To his children, especially to James, their father was three people: the vigorous, lively companion before Campobello, the remote man during his illness and the further removed public figure. The recollections span F.D.R.'s career from the N.Y. State Senate to his fourth term in the White House, concentrating on family details: gatherings at Hyde Park; their mother's shyness which made social duties an ordeal; their grandmother's interference which, James admits, spoiled the Roosevelt children; their schooling which meant Groton and Harvard; later, the unfavorable publicity the boys seemed to attract during the war and in their marriages. James raises the question of what drove his father, what was really inside him, but in this essentially loyal book he leaves the question unanswered. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.

Inscribed on the half title: "Harry dear, I think you will enjoy this. Love, E.R." A scarce work signed by Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt on "Affectionately, F.D.R., from November 19, 1959: "I have never mentioned in this column the book written by my oldest son, James, about his father, called "Affectionately, F.D.R." No father could have asked for a more understanding and sympathetic tribute from a son, and it is certainly written with deep affection. I have a slight reservation about some things that are said in the book about other people, but not about my husband. The reason is that I think they reflect the observations and feelings of a very young man, perhaps at the time not quite capable of understanding certain things and who, therefore, was impatient.".
