{"value"=>"<p>The Office Files of the Tobias years (1946-1953) are the sparsest of the series. Much of the correspondence is routine, perhaps reflecting the transitional nature of his administration and the policy changes which largely eliminated individual grants. During this period, Tobias was also a member of the board of the NAACP, a member of President Truman's Committee on Civil Rights, and an alternate delegate to the United Nations General Assembly in Paris, all of which occupied a considerable amount of his time, as did his foreign travels for the Fund. There are correspondence and reports on the major projects of his administration, such as the General Education Board Teacher Exchange Fund, including reports on their African trips by Jacob Reddix, Claude A. Barnett, Liston Pope, and Frederick D. Patterson, and the continuation of the Program for the Training of the Negro Rural Ministry.</p> <p>Other correspondence concerns the continuing relationship between the Fund and other foundations and missionary societies such as the Rosenwald Fund (Edwin Embree), Rockefeller Foundation, Agricultural Missions, Inc., American Board for Foreign Missions, Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, International Missionary Council, International Committee for Christian Literature, and the YMCA. Material relating to interracial relations in Africa and the United States is included in the correspondence of Quintin White and the South African Institute of Race Relations, Chief Albert John Lithuli, Zachariah K. Matthews, the Public Affairs Committee (with which the Fund published a controversial pamphlet on South Africa by Alan Paton in 1952), Southern Regional Council, and Associated Negro Press (Claude A. Barnett). The subject files contain speeches, policy statements, reports, and clippings, as well as material relating to the death of Thomas Jesse Jones in 1950.</p>"}
