Papers of Howard Worth Smith [manuscript] 1920-1976.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647909772

The papers contain correspondence, oral history interviews with Smith, and memoranda by Smith, 1966-1973, compiled by several researchers for projected books on changes in the American constitutional system during Smith's years in Congress. There are also letters of condolence to Mrs. Smith on her husband's death, including one from Gerald Ford. Of interest in his correspondence is an exchange with Frederick Deane Goodwin Ribble on the constitutionality of Federal troops in the 1957 Little Rock crisis, a letter from Sargent Shriver justifying the Peace Corps, and a telegram, 1964, from Carl Albert asking Smith's committee to hear the anti-povery bill. Speeches, 1953-1968, given or written by Smith, are included. Most of the collection consists of memorabilia from a 1951 visit of a Congressional delegation to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, preceded by official visits to West Germany and Austria. Photographs, clippings, invitations, guest books, articles about Smith, and a list of his constituents and supporters from an election campaign complete the collection.
