Background:
In 1990 in "The Measurement of Wanted Fertility", Population Council
Working Paper #10, Bongaarts developed a new method of measuring "wanted
fertility". He applied this method to 48 surveys from developing
countries and concluded that 26% of fertility is unwanted. (Population
Council Index, v. 56, #2, F.4.4.). This piece of "data" is the basis for
many statements about the need for contraception and abortion world wide.
Analysing Bongaarts' method is an area where research is needed.

Background: The Minnesota Twin Study claimed to demonstrate a high
heritability for IQ. Daniel Seligman explains the implications to the
readers of Fortune. "... high heritabilities make it harder to relate
[status] to privileged environments. Such figures are also bad news for
social engineers with schemes to equalize IQ's, e.g. via early
intervention in the lives of children with low scoring parents. The
higher the heritability, the harder it to believe that the kids can be
turned into middle class professionals. ... the liberal media keep
looking for environmental explanations of IQ ... [which] is a stunning
howler, deserving to be cataloged with flat earth views about our planet
... the Bouchard data look threatening only to egalitarian
doctrinaires." Daniel Seligman, "Keeping Up", Fortune, Nov. 19, 1990.

Chmn., Brush Foundation for Race Betterment 1957-63; associate of
Margaret Sanger
Background:
friend of Margaret Sanger; read Plato's Republic in college; married into
the family of Charles Francis Brush (Charles Francis Brush 1849-1929;
invented arc lamp used for street lighting in Cleveland; founded Brush
Electric Company; became rich); founded Maternal Health Association of
Cleveland; Charles Francis Brush Jr. died; Married Alexander Dick,
divorced; married Dr. Lewis C. Walmsley, a former missionary; three
planned children (Charles F. Brush, Mrs. Sylvia Dick Karas); Charles
Francis Brush founded Brush Foundation for Race Betterment in son's

Jewish Emigration under Hitler
Dorothy Brush was an aunt of Juliet Rublee, who was an owner of the Birth
Control Review 1919; Juliet Rublee's husband, George Rublee, was charged
by the League of Nations with the task of attempting to extricate 650,000
Jews and 75,000 German Catholics from Hitler's Germany in 1938. An
impossible job - but was he the best man? After all, Margaret Sanger's
Birth Control Review allowed Professor Ernst Rudin to publish an article
on sterilization in 1932. Rudin went on to help write Hitler's race
laws, the laws leading to the desire of the Jews to get out of Germany.
RCAR and the Brush Foundation:
after Mrs. Brush's death, the Brush Foundation for Race Betterment gave
money to the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights (RCAR)
Brush Foundation, IPPF and Racial Hygiene:
"To those of us who have reason to be grateful to the Brush Foundation
for Race Betterment (USA) - not least among them the readers of this News
[the IPPF newsletter, Around the World News of Population and Birth
Control] - the publication of a brochure marking the thirtieth
anniversary of the Brush Foundation will be of interest... $500,000, the
income of which only can be used, was placed in the hands of the
Cleveland (Ohio) Trust Company. Mr. Brush's grandson, Mr. Maurice
Perkins, gave $250,000 with no restriction on the use of capital ... it
is from this fund that the Brush Foundation has recently allocated to the
IPPF $25,000 for each of two years for pioneer projects... In 1948 ....
the Foundation provided the bulk of the funds necessary to establish an
international planned parenthood office, which is now the IPPF
Headquarters office. A subsidy, which in 1955 was increased to $5,000,
has been made annually for its operating expenses. The Foundation
contributed to the organizational expenses of both the Bombay and Tokyo
Conferences under IPPF auspices in 1952 and 1955. It also underwrites
this bulletin to the extent of $10,000 a year. The total amount to June
30, 1957, expended by the Brush Foundation in support of the IPPF was
approximately $106,000 (33,855 British pounds). The Brush Foundation has
recently joined with the Watumull Foundation of Hawaii in an effort to
raise further funds for the IPPF.... among the research projects [other
than the IPPF] listed in the brochure are an enquiry into the growth and
development of the well-born child ($266,000), virus research ($250,000),
assistance to the Maternal Health Association of Cleveland ($97,000) and
research in human reproduction including assistance to the Cleveland
Infertility Clinic. ($136,000)" (ARTW, Dec. 1957)
A "Review of Third Annual Report of the IPPF" in the IPPF newsletter
(ARTW) included the following statements:"... the generous increase in
the grant made by the Brush Foundation from $3,000 to $5,000 a year as
from May 1955 for the maintenance of Headquarters ... A well-merited
tribute is paid to the punctilious - and always punctual - work done by
Mrs. Dorothy Brush as editor of the News from 1952 to 1956 ... reports
from three of its member organizations ... Australia: The Racial Hygiene
Association of Australia, affiliated to the American Social Hygiene
Association ... family planning, premarital counseling, marriage
guidance, sex education and the promotion of eugenics ... Ceylon: ...
only those contraceptive methods approved by the IPPF are recommended by
the [Family Planning Association of Ceylon]... Financial aid has also
been made available by Dr. Clarence Gamble through the National Committee
on Maternal Health (New York) ... Pakistan:... In 1955 Mr. Justice
Muhammad Munir, Chief Justice of Pakistan, honored the [Family Planning
Association of Pakistan] by becoming its president." ARTW, Dec. 1957

Sociology. 1924 w/ R. Park, Univ. of Chicago Press (reprinted 1929). One
of Burgess's most important works, a classic, set new directions in
sociology. It was used with a type of psychology based on the work of
William James and developed by John Dewey and George Mead. This saw the
self as formed by interaction with others. Burgess saw collective
behavior as a "circular reaction" in which each self reacts by mirroring
the action or sentiments of another which intensifies the first person's
reaction. So propaganda, psychological warfare, social marketing and
advertising are simply four ways to mold this plasticity in a good
direction. Ed note)

Connecticut therefore went ahead and opened a clinic, which they operated

1972 Artificial insemination "could ... produce in a single generation
quite drastic changes in height, intelligence, or any other quantitative
trait with a high heritability if it were widely applied ... [does a
parent] have an inalienable right to produce a child that is
uneducable?... The right to reproduce at will is regarded as a basic
human right. I cannot see this remaining true much longer ... world wide
control of birthrates is an absolute necessity ... If this is achieved
with wide public acceptance, then some concern over differential
reproduction is also in order.
The means of eugenics are becoming acceptable. Abortion ... Artificial
insemination ... birth control ... There is no unanimity now as to what
constitutes positive eugenic goals ... We would surely agree that variety
is to be preferred to uniformity ... as a hedge against unforseen
contingencies in the future ... Negative aims ... for the genes causing
muscular dystrophy, hemophilia, Tay-Sachs disease and the Lesch-Nyhan
syndrome to become extinct ... the question is one of means ... We have
Nazi Germany as a horrible example of how badly such a program can go
wrong ... I want to see the subject [of negative eugenics] discussed. If
eugenics is a dirty word we can find something else that means the same
thing" from "Conclusion" by Crow in Proc. of a symposium, Advances in

by John C. Defries. The Institute says that genes contribute to alcohol
and drug abuse in individuals with an anti-social personality disorder.
The Report also discusses fetal exposure to testosterone. According to
the BioScience article the Report says that "girls who were accidentally
exposed to androgenic steroids in utero showed an increased tendency to
be more aggressive than their peers whereas boys who were accidentally
exposed to anti androgenic steroids were not as aggressive as their
peers" ("The Biology of Violence, BioScience, May 1994)
