{"value"=>"<p>Hilton Railey's first contact with AHS was in his role as public relations manager for Admiral Byrd's Antarctic expedition. Subsequently, he was involved in several other expeditions that The Times covered or contracted to cover. At the start of the Second World War, he joined The Times staff as an assistant to Hanson Baldwin (1941), and, on special assignment from AHS, conducted a survey of Army morale, which resulted in the \"Railey Report\" to the President and Secretary of War and was a major factor in the establishment of the information and education program in the U.S. military services.Papers concerning these activities are in the appropriate subject folders as indicated in the cross-references following. The papers in these two folders are mostly personal correspondence between Railey and AHS, including details about his employment by and severance from The Times, financial assistance given him by The Times and by AHS personally, comments about world events and U.S. policies, and Railey's books and poems (the latter published under the pen name Peter Cameron).
