Averill Harriman's sister
Averill Harriman's money came from the Union Pacific Railroad which was
originally funded by extinguishing the Indian land titles, a practice
justified by Social Darwinism (19th century eugenics)
Averill Harriman's mother funded the Eugenics Record office.
The wife of Averill Harriman, Pamela Digby Churchill Harriman, has
controlled the purse strings of an important Democratic funding group.
Pro life Democrats such as Richard Gebhart and Jesse Jackson suddenly
become "pro choice". A research topic would be the influence of this
Democratic funding group on these "choices".

Quotes:
"Eugenics without Birth Control ... cannot stand against the furious
winds of economic pressure ... Before eugenicists and others who are
laboring for racial betterment can succeed, they must first clear the way
for birth control. Like the advocates for birth control, the
eugenicists, for instance, are seeking to assist the race toward the
elimination of the unfit. Both are seeking a single end but they lay
emphasis upon different methods ... eugenicists imply or insist that a
woman's first duty is to the state; we contend that her duty to herself
is her first duty to the state." Margaret Sanger in "Birth Control and
Racial Betterment" Birth Control Review Feb. 1919 p. 11

Background:
On Mengele:
Curt Stern, was one of the people who should have warned the world that
Otto v. Verschuer had been Josef Mengele's mentor. Instead we find them
both in the American Eugenics Society in 1956. Stern was aware that von
Verschuer was writing since they both wrote for the Swiss medical
genetics journal which published the results of the First International
Congress in Human Genetics.
On Race:
"The geneticist, Curt Stern, defined a race as a group more or less
isolated geographically or culturally who share a common gene pool and
who, statistically, are somewhat different at some loci from other
populations." ("Genetics and Heredity" Encyclopedia Britannica, 15th
edition, vol. 19 p. 724)
Race having been sanitized as a concept by his definition, the question
then arises whether some races have (or are alleged to have) a defect at
their differentiating loci. For example, J. P. Rushton is alleging that
blacks are more "r" than "K", that is at some loci are more likely to
have genes which result in small heads, low intelligence, large penises,
and a tendency to crime, rape, child abuse, promiscuity, ill health and
early death.

Revisionist Press
Background:
In The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy, Stoddard
explains that whites have political control over most of the world but
are only 6% of the population They are stretched too thin sohe proposes
that the whites get out of Asia where they are totally outnumbered,
restrict immigration into Canada, Australia, the United States and Europe
mainly to whites, and maintain control of the resources of Africa and
South America; A research project would be to investigate to what extent
these ideas have been implemented.
For example, the Johnson Act (see Hon. Albert Johnson, Harry Laughlin)
restricted immigration into the United States in a way that favored
Northern European whites. And National Security Study Memorandum # 200,
December 10, 1974 said that the United States should support population
control programs in other countries, partly so that their resources would
be available to the United States. In the present, 1993, the ideas of
the environmental movement lead toward situations in which the resources
of Africa and South America (e.g. in Brazil, the Amazon and the rain
forest) are to be controlled by international groups. These groups are
not elected.

Background:
American Men of Science was founded, edited and published by James McKeen
Cattell from 1906-38. Cattell (18601944) was administrative head of
psychology at Columbia University from 1891 until 1917 when he was
dismissed for opposing the draft in World War I. He lived in
Garrison-on-the Hudson, New York which is where Frederick Osborn lived.
He studied in Germany under Lotze and Wundt in 1881; at Johns Hopkins in
1882-83; and became Wundt's assistant at Leipzig in 1884. He received
his PhD there in 1886 and then studied under Francis Galton in London.
He became a Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia in 1888. There and at Columbia he devoted himself to
improving and advancing mental testing.
He co-founded the Psychological Review in 1894 and bought and edited the
weekly journal, Science. (1894-1944). In 1900 he founded and edited
Popular Science Monthly which became Scientific Monthly. (1900-1943). He
also edited The American Naturalist (1907-44) and School and Society
(1915-39). He founded the Psychological Corporation which made
psychological research available to business (i.e. market research,
advertising, propaganda). His son founded the Jacques Cattell Press in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the town where Prof. Cattell died.
In evaluating Stephen Visher's work, we must consider what bias was
introduced into the selection procedure by the Germanophile, Cattell.

News, 23, 6-8 from International Population Congress, Paris, Aug. 11,
1937
Background:
A War Criminal Who Escaped Prosecution
Von Verschuer escaped prosecution even though he planned Mengele's
experiments and even though he was well known.
Well Known
Eugenicists in America were well aware of von Verschuer since two stories
about him appeared in English in the Eugenical News in the 1930's.
The first was a review of Verschuer's book Erbpathologie 1934 which
appeared in the Eugenical News, January/ February 1936 issue p. 21-22.
This review said that "our country [the United States] adopted sanitary
measures and eugenic sterilization laws. Race culture, the selection of
proposed cases for sterilization or marriage advice are impossible
without the earnest collaboration of the entire medical profession ... we
need sound knowledge ... To this end German scientists have recognized
the need for handy inexpensive textbooks for the practical use of
physicians. The idea was first suggested by Prof. Dr. O. von Verschuer
... We have just received volume XVIII of this series ... by Prof. Dr.
Otmar von Verschuer ... In this book the author clearly outlines the
duties of the physician to the nation. The word 'nation' no longer means
a number of citizens living within certain boundaries, but a biological
entity. This point of view also changes the obligation of the physician
... All defects known to be hereditary are listed (in this book) ...
100,000 feebleminded ... schizophrenics ... epileptics ... Huntington's
chorea ... Blindness ... Deaf-mutism ... bodily deformities ...
Physicians will doubtless often turn to this book for advice. Dr. von
Verschuer has successfully bridged the gap between medical practice and
theoretic scientific research."
The second article appeared in the Eugenical News May/June 1936. This
article specifically mentions that Von Verschuer intended to apply the
race doctrine of Count Gobineau to twin studies, the twins to be from as
many countries as possible. This is what was done at Auschwitz so that
this article clearly pointed towards von Verschuer as possibly involved
in the atrocities committed by Mengele, his protege. Nevertheless von
Verschuer's involvement was not proved until he was dead. There must
have been a cover up.
" Professor Dr. Otmar Freiherr von Verschuer ... director of the
Universitat Institute fur Erbbiologie und Rassenhygiene, writes us that
... the Institute, is now ready for work.... According to Dr. Verschuer
he is now ready to begin his work which has the aim to utilize, first,
the science of anthropology and the race doctrine of Count Gobineau; a
second trail that has led to Verschuer's door is Galton's Eugenics, and
the race hygiene of Ploetz; the third is the doctrine of constitution as
found in medicine; and the fourth is experimental heredity.... The
special tasks of the new Institute fall into three groups, investigation,
instruction and practical work. ... The rich results of genetics form the
foundation for the race politic of national socialistic state and for the
practice of race hygiene. Dr. Verschuer states that the object of his
investigation is mankind, not the individual man, but families and twins;
and in this work there will not be investigated alone interesting twins,
but all twins and families of definite geographical origin must be
considered. It is desirable to determine what traits of bodily and
mental sort, what diseases and anomalies in mankind are hereditary"
(Eugenical News May/June 1936)
Kaiser Wilhelm
It has been asserted by leading eugenicists, such as C. P. Blacker, that
German scientists "of weight and repute" held aloof from Nazi activity.
But more recent research by Benno Muller Hill has shown that the Kaiser
Wilhelm Gesellschaft (KWG or Kaiser Wilhelm Society), one of the most
respected scientific groups in Germany, was deeply involved in the camp
experiments and in anti Semitism. Von Verschuer, for example, was a
leading scientist at the KWG. "The conduct of the general administration,
the Senate and the directors of the KWG shows to how great an extent the
type of thinking which the anthropologists applied to the segregation
(used in the sense of apartheid in South Africa) of the Jews - that is to
say, the vulgar anti Semitism of the National Socialists - had become
accepted by a significant proportion of the members of the scientific
establishment. The KWG was in no minor provincial university. In
anthropology and in psychiatry and in most other fields it was at the
forefront of scientific endeavor." (Murderous Science B. Muller Hill p.
24)
Von Verschuer and Mengele
Von Verschuer was associated with Mengele's atrocities at Auschwitz both
because he taught Mengele and because he sponsored the research program
Mengele carried out. These facts have emerged as a result of very recent
research carried out by Benno Muller-Hill, by Gerald Finer, author of The
Last Nazi and by the author of Children of Flame.
However, these authors have not integrated von Verschuer with what is
known of American and English eugenics. In 1954 von Verschuer was a
member of the American Society of Human Genetics, as was Leo Alexander,
the chief American medical expert at the Nuremberg trials. In 1956, von
Verschuer was a member of the American Eugenics Society.
Von Verschuer was Mengele's teacher:
Von Verschuer thought that Hitler was "the first statesman to recognize
hereditary biological and race hygiene." (The Last Nazi p. 11); "Mengele
became (Von Verschuer's) favorite student; the two men developed a strong
mutual respect ... later as wartime director of the Kaiser Wilhelm
Institute for Anthropology, Human Hereditary Teaching and Genetics in
Berlin, he [von Verschuer] secured funds for Mengele's experiments at
Auschwitz. (This was the Institute where Mengele sent the results of his
barbaric and largely worthless research.)" (The Last Nazi p. 12); "the
obsession with twins that Mengele would later exhibit at Auschwitz was
also a direct result of his association with Verschuer" (Children of the
Flame p. 46); In 1937 or 1938 "... Mengele and von Verschuer were working
together, writing judicial reports for specially convened courts which
sat in judgment over Jews caught cohabiting with German Aryans ..." (The
Last Nazi. p. 12); "Certainly Professor Von Verschuer thought highly of
Mengele; he soon appointed him as one of his assistant physicians ...
even though he (Mengele) had yet to receive his degree ... It was against
this background at the Frankfurt Institute that Mengele first embraced
the idea that through appropriate selection, the heritage of the race
could be 'improved'. Before long the concept was applied in a much
starker way, on the ramps at Auschwitz where SS doctors, Mengele
especially, selected able bodied inmates for work and the frailer ones
for death." (The Last Nazi p. 13)
Experiments at Auschwitz were carried out for Von Verschuer and the KWG:
In 1942 Von Verschuer said: "my assistant Mengele has been transferred to
a post in Berlin so that in his free time he can work at the Institute."
(The Last Nazi. p. 18)
In May of 1943 Mengele was posted to Auschwitz; in August of 1943 funds
for Mengele's "research" were authorized by German Research Council
thanks to Von Verschuer. Von Verschuer wrote a progress report to the
Council: "My co-researcher in this research is my assistant the
anthropologist and physician Mengele. He is serving as Hauptsturmfuhrer
and camp doctor in the concentration camp Auschwitz ... With the
permission of the Reichsfuhrer SS Himmler (q.v.), anthropological
research is being undertaken on the various racial groups in the
concentration camps and blood samples will be sent to my laboratory for
investigation" (Last Nazi, pp. 33-37
(At Auschwitz) "Twin research attracted Mengele ... (he) prowled the
railroad siding during initial selection seeking twins"; he killed two
year old boy twins to get data on simultaneous death; he had an acid bath
in which he put bodies of twins so the flesh would fall off and he could
examine the skeletons (The Last Nazi p. 93 - 100)
At Auschwitz 3 sets of twins who had one blue and one brown eye were
killed and the data sent to Von Verschuer in Berlin; heads of Auschwitz
'patients' with the noma removed were sent to Kaiser Wilhelm Institute
(The Last Nazi)
"Verschuer even helped Mengele win grants to undertake two research
projects at (Auschwitz)... to begin in April 1943" (Children of Flame p.
52); Verschuer... was closely involved in his protege's research...
Mengele periodically dispatched to his mentor not only reports about his
research but also laboratory samples from his experiments." (Children of
Flame p. 59; on arrival at Mengele's experimental station twins filled
out "a detailed questionnaire from the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute"
(Children of Flame p. 59); "The tests, questionnaires and many of the
experiments themselves appear to have been the brainchild of Verschuer"
(Children of Flame p. 69); from these young children there were daily
withdrawals of blood for Verschuer's "specific protein" research; needles
were injected in their eyes for Karen Magnussen's KWI work on eye color;
there were experimental blood transfusions; small children were placed in
isolation in cage like rooms and their reactions studied; small children
were exposed to stimuli and their reactions noted; organs and limbs were
removed, sometimes without anesthetics; sex changes were attempted;
females were sterilized; males were castrated; one woman developed a
man's beard, which suggests the presence of steroids; then many twins
were killed; they were autopsied at the pathology lab next to the
crematory, which had been built with funds von Verschuer obtained;
various organs and limbs were sent to Verschuer at the Kaiser Wilhelm.
(Children of Flame p. 71, 117)
Von Verschuer contacted eugenicists following WW II:
In 1946 Von Verschuer wrote to the Bureau of Human Heredity in London: "I
hope that the scientific equipment of my former Kaiser Wilhelm Institute
in Dahlem which I brought ... to Frankfort will enable me to continue or
rather restart my research work ... tuberculosis research ... I don't
give up hope that there will be people in England and America who will
help me continue my scientific research" (The Last Nazi p. 142); became a
professor of human genetics at Munster
The eugenicists did not expose Von Verschuer:
He attempted to get his old job at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute when it
was reconstituted in Frankfurt in 1951. An article in Neue Zeitung
exposed his connection with Mengele (Children of Flame p. 118-129, 161).
But nevertheless the 1956 issue of the Italian eugenic magazine, Acta
Genet, Med. Gem., edited by Luigi Gedda q.v. had a special supplement
honoring Verschuer ("master and teacher"). Gedda was also a member of
the American Eugenics Society.
Verschuer influenced another generation:
Verschuer founded the largest genetics Institute in Munster, West
Germany. (Children of Flame p. 161); he retired in 1968 and died in 1969.
Bureau of Human Heredity:
The Bureau of Human Heredity, which received the letter from von
Verschuer mentioning that he had the results of Auschwitz "research",
moved to Copenhagen in 1947. The Director of the Danish Institute which
received the Bureau was Tage Kemp, a member of the American Eugenics
Society in 1956, along with von Verschuer. The building in Copenhagen
was built with Rockefeller money. The first International Congress in
Human Genetics following World War II was held at Kemp's Institute in
Denmark in 1956.

1956 "The latter part of the book especially, should be of value to
ministers, social workers, and others who are called upon to give counsel
on problems of heredity and environment (p. 14) ... tuberculosis ... the
prevalence of this disease in certain families leaves little doubt about
its being influenced by heredity (p. 260) ... poliomyelitis ... heredity
influences the amount of vitamin that is required to ward off rickets (p.
264) ... stomach ulcers ... cancer ... studies by Madge Macklin at Ohio
State University indicate that ... the tendency to develop cancer is
inherited (p. 269) ... Surgery saves many defective genes (p. 293) ...
public assistance ... [defectives need welfare so] these genes are
perpetuated by our kindliness ... Problems of Eugenics ... [in cattle
breeding] The best bulls have hundreds of offspring, while those of poor
quality go to the slaughter house before they have an opportunity to
breed. Such techniques are, of course, out of the question at present
(bolded by editor) for human beings ... (p. 298) ... negative eugenics
[means] reducing the rate of reproduction among the less desirable
members of our race" (p. 302) "there is still the probability that the
average gene complex for those in the higher groups is more desirable
than would be found among those at the bottom of the social scale" (p.
304); all quotes from Heredity and Your Life, A.M. Winchester, 1956

Results and Evolutionary Deductions 1977; v. 4 Variability Within and
Among Natural Populations 1978
Background:
Wright studied the breeding and cross breeding in guinea pigs through
studies of coat color. (see also C. Keeler q.v.) Then he developed a
mathematics of evolution which consisted of the formulas for evaluating
mating and inbreeding in stock breeding. In Darwin's original work stock
breeding was the example of ongoing evolution.
R. A. Fisher opposed Sewall Wright.
Wright said that among individuals natural selection works on separate
average gene effects. He suggested that natural selection works by
diffusion from those populations that have developed superior overall
genetic systems.
Genetic drift means that species may disappear because the few
individuals carrying rare genes may not transmit them. This would result
in the disappearance of a species without natural selection.

Examining in the United States Army. (Ed.), Washington, D.C.; An
Introduction to Psychology 1911
Background:
Psychological Examining in the United States Army (1921) gave a social
interpretation to the results of IQ tests administered in the Army during
World War I. These "results" were and are the basis for a great deal of
discussion and action among eugenicists.
"Yerkes Army testing work was used as a major source of proof that
Southern and Eastern Europeans were intectually inferior to Northwestern
Europeans" (Mehler, p. 448) This was used in turn to pass the Johnson Act
limiting immigration from these countries. The work is important as a
source for the current contention by Jensen q.v., Gordon q.v. and other
Pioneer Fund beneficiaries that "science" has always shown that
African-Americans are genetically defective in intelligence.
Furthermore, it was used by eugenicists such as Frederick Osborn who
spoke of using "psychology" as well as genetics. Osborn himself
conducted a similar survey during World War II as Head of the Morale
Branch of the Army.
