Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series: Boxes 62 to 64 are primarily a collection of newspaper clippings about A. C. Rees, Orval Adams, and J. Reuben Clark. There is some material dealing with other prominent men in Utah. These three individuals, prominent men in Utah, were all very conservative politically. A. C. Rees served as a mission president for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in East Germany prior to World War II. He was also executive secretary to the Utah Taxpayers Association and manager of Utah Associated Industries. Orval W. Adams was a prominent banker in Utah and also outside of the state. He served as executive vice-president of the Utah State National Bank, president of the American Bankers Association, and later president of the Salt Lake Clearing House Association. J. Reuben Clark, lawyer and churchman in Utah, was a staunch Republican and served as under-secretary of state under Presidents Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover and as special ambassador to Mexico under President Hoover (1929-33). After President Hoover's defeat, Clark returned to Utah to serve in the First Presidency of the LDS church. The material in this section contains much on the LDS church and Utah and national politics in the 1930s and 1940s.
