Letter from Willard E. Schmidt, Chief, Administrative Police, to Will M. Aranson, May 20, 1944
No full textDescribes problems Schmidt was having with a razor (for shaving) that Aranson had repaired.The Willard Schmidt collection, documents some of the administrative duties of Willard Schmidt, the Chief of Internal Security for the War Relocation Authority and the Tule Lake incarceration/segregation camp. This collection contains administrative records and photos documenting the Tule Lake camp, the largest incarceration camp with a peak population of 18,789 and with the most turbulent history. In 1943, the camp was turned into a segregation center to house "disloyal" Japanese Americans relocated from other camps based on their answers to a confusing loyalty questionnaire. The camp endured martial law from November 1943- Jan 1944 after escalating protests and unrest. The hostile environment of the camp lead to many incarcerees renouncing their American citizenship upon the end of incarceration, a process which took 14 years to reverse if they did not wish to be deported to Japan

Lektüre versus Kanon. Zu einer Grundfigur bei Arno Schmidt
No full textDiese Sonderlieferung des 'Bargfelder Boten' fragt nach der Stellung Arno Schmidts im Kanon der Literatur der zweitenHälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts und stellt seine eigene Auseinandersetzung mit Kanonisierungen auf den Prüfstand. Der Nobelpreis war Arno Schmidt 'Stigma der Mittelmäßigkeit', die großen Autoren der Moderne strafte er fast alle mit Missachtung oder mit der Betonung seines Nicht-Verständnisses, Mitgliedschaften in Autorenvereinigungen wie der Gruppe 47 lehnte er ab. Durch Radio-Nachtprogramme und Essays zur Literatur erschrieb er sich einen eigenen Privat-Kanon. Die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger:Simone Brühl, Axel Dunker, Norbert Otto Eke, Georges Felten, Jan Gerstner, Stephan Kraft, Sabine Kyora, Wolfgang Martynkewicz, TimmMenke, Volker Mergenthaler, Alexandra Pontzen, Friedhelm Rathjen, Friederike Reents, Ralf Simon, Jan Süselbeck und Rüdiger Zymner
Multiscale methods for shape constraints in deconvolution: Confidence statements for qualitative features
No full textWe derive multiscale statistics for deconvolution in order to detect qualitative features of the unknown density. An important example covered within this framework is to test for local monotonicity on all scales simultaneously. We investigate the moderately ill-posed setting, where the Fourier transform of the error density in the deconvolution model is of polynomial decay. For multiscale testing, we consider a calibration, motivated by the modulus of continuity of Brownian motion. We investigate the performance of our results from both the theoretical and simulation based point of view. A major consequence of our work is that the detection of qualitative features of a density in a deconvolution problem is a doable task, although the minimax rates for pointwise estimation are very slow
