{"value"=>"<p>Philip Hamburger worked in the U. S. Government's Office of Facts and Figures, later called the Office of War Information (OWI), from 1941 to 1943. Records pertaining to his service include correspondence, writings, scrapbooks, clippings and printed matter. Personal and work-related correspondence includes OWI memos and letters from colleagues and friends serving in the military. There is also a file of correspondence and memos both to and from Harold Guinzburg, Chief of the Bureau of Publications of the OWI. Writings include speeches, memos, notes, reports, drafts and typescripts. The bulk of this material relates to three pamphlets written by Hamburger, <span class=\"title\">Divide and Conquer</span>, <span class=\"title\">Tale of a City</span>, and <span class=\"title\">The Unconquered People</span>. Three scrapbooks filed here are made up mostly of clippings, but also include some printed matter such as memos and press releases. Additional loose news clippings include general news stories on the OWI and newspaper serializations of writings by Hamburger. Printed matter includes OWI publications and other war-related material, mostly pamphlets.</p>"}
