directed to Sears managers and executives between 1924 and 1953, that reveal not only sales figures and profits but some methods Wood used to rebuild the company after 1929. The bulk of the papers, however, do not concern business but rather Wood's interest in the formation of social, economic, and foreign policy during the period 1933 to 1959. Included are copies of papers of the War Resources Board, on which Wood served, and correspondence with President Roosevelt, Colonel H. K. Rutherford, Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., and Sidney Weinberg. Military historians will be interested in Wood's correspondence with General H. H. Arnold, Harry Elmer Barnes, Levin H. Campbell, William R. Davis, John T. Flynn, Walter H. Frank, Louis A. Johnson, Charles A. Lindbergh, Douglas A. MacArthur, George C. Marshall, Merrill C. Meigs, Henry J. Riley, and Truman Smith. These letters concern military preparedness, the attack on Pearl Harbor, strategy and tactics, conditions in the peacetime army, 1935-41, logistical studies for the air force and army, and postwar unification of the armed services. The papers also document Wood's services with the two Hoover Commissions, his activities on behalf of the Republican party, and his participation in a number of organizations including the Committee for the Nation, 1933-36, the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations, 1939-45, the America First Committee, 1941, American Action, 1946-47, For America, 1954-55, and Americans for Constitutional Action, 1958-59.

Among Wood's other correspondents during this period were William Benton, James F. Byrnes, W. J. Campbell, William L. Clayton, Samuel Crowther, Lawrence Dennis, Everett M. Dirksen, James A. Farley, Merwin K. Hart, Herbert Hoover, George M. Humphrey, H. L. Hunt, Joseph P. Kennedy, Leon Keyserling, Phillip F. La Follette, Robert M. LaFollette, Jr., Alfred M. Landon, Walter Lichtenstein, Joseph R. McCarthy, Colonel Robert R.

McCormick, Henry J. Morgenthau, Karl E. Mundt, Donald M. Nelson, Henry M. Regnery, Daniel C. Roper, Julius Rosenwald, Dr. Edward A. Rumely, Truman Smith, George Sokolsky, R. Douglas Stuart, Jr., Robert A. Taft, Freda Utley, Arthur H. Vandenberg, Henry A. Wallace, and Burton K. Wheeler.

The Wood papers provide a valuable supplement to several other collections previously opened for research at the Hoover Library. These include the Herbert Hoover postpresidential papers; the papers of the First and Second Hoover Commissions; and the papers of Paul Grady, Verne Marshall, Hanford MacNider, Bradley D. Nash, Neil MacNeil, Gerald P. Nye, Admiral John F. Shaffroth, Lewis Stone Sorley, Charles Callan Tansill, Walter Trohan, and William Hallam Tuck. The papers contain approximately 18,400 items occupying eight feet of shelf space. A detailed finding aid is available at the library.

The Franklin D. Roosevelt Library has received material concerning the President's Commission on the Status of Women. Nine volumes of reports, dated October 1963, were received from Bertha Whittaker, a management assistant for the Citizens Advisory Council on the Status of Women. Katherine Pollack Ellickson, who was executive secretary of the commission, sent a memoir entitled "Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt's Contribution to the Status of Women, 1968" and notes prepared by Bess Furman Armstrong on the "Tour of the Roosevelt Mansion," which Mrs. Roosevelt conducted for the commission.

Pauli Murray has given the library her correspondence with Mrs. Roosevelt, 193962. Murray, a lawyer and writer, was a WPA teacher in the 1930s and became secretary of the annual National Sharecrop

Forty-eight linear feet of additional papers of Leland Olds, a member of the Federal Power Commission, 1939-40, and commission chairman, 1940-44, have been received.

The library has received from Columbia University a microfilm copy of items in the Jacob Podell Collection of Franklin D. Roosevelt Letters and Manuscripts, 18961943. Podell, a manuscript collector, assembled a collection of letters and autographed books. Many of these items, particularly the

handwritten letters, are not duplicated in any of the library's collections of the president's papers.

A number of tapes, motion picture films, and still photographs have been received from various sources. Tape recordings include several speeches by the president as well as Winston Churchill's address to the joint session of Congress on December 26, 1941. The motion picture films consist of ten reels of negative kinescope of Mrs. Roosevelt's 1959-60 television series "Prospects of Mankind," which were donated by Henry Morgenthau III. Still photographs from the Stephen Early papers and the Gardner Jackson papers were accessioned. Several hundred photographs of WPA Federal Arts Projects murals were given to the library by Erica Rubinstein, who also gave the library a copy of her doctoral dissertation dealing with the murals.

The Stephen Early papers, which were recently accessioned by the library, have been opened to researchers.
