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

Identification: See key above. Relationships: This species and the Western Nepalese species T. aedeagalis sp. n., T. eremita sp. n., T. franzianus Mateu & Deuve, 1979, T. muguensis sp. n., and T. sculptipennis sp. n., together forming a group of closely related species which, in external morphology, differ very slightly from each other or, in some cases are almost identical, but which evolved remarkable differences in genital morphology. Currently, based on these characters it seems impossible to determine sister species relationships. Distribution: Fig. 98. Tibetan Himalaya of Manang and Mustang Districts, Central Nepal. The species is known from several localities north of Annapurna Massif as well from the Northeast slope of Dhaulagiri Himal. Habitat: Edaphic species of the higher alpine zone; vertical distribution approximately 4900–5200 m. The specimens were found on humid, gently inclined slopes and along small depressions, often close to snow fields and melting water.Published as part of Schmidt, Joachim, 2009, Taxonomic and biogeographical review of the genus Trechus Clairville, 1806, from the Tibetan Himalaya and the southern central Tibetan Plateau (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Trechini) 2178, pp. 1-72 in Zootaxa 2178 (1) on pages 25-26, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2178.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/531227
Letter from Willard E. Schmidt, National Chief of Internal Security, to R. B. Cozzens, Field Assistant Director, War Relocation Authority, November 22, 1943
No full textContains recommendations for future planning and functions of the Internal Security Section of the Tule Lake incarceration camp, including for a segregation area for "bachelor Kibei and recalcitrants" and detailing needs for personnel, equipment, and security procedures; letter calls for the camp to be considered "maximum type" given that it has become more of an isolation center than a relocation center, and discusses its internal security ratio in comparison with that of the Wartime Civil Control Administration at Santa Anita and of the city of Los Angeles.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.

Birdie Schmidt with bomber crew
No full textBirdie Schmidt and crew at the christening of the “Birdie Schmidt ARC,” August 1944. Back row left to right: Lt. Wise, Lt. Hoffman, Lt. Randall, Birdie, Lt. Gorton, Cpl. McNutt, S/Sgt. Goo. Front row left to right: T/Sgt. Boney, S/Sgt. Sanders, S/Sgt. Kamacho, S/Sgt. Dopson. During World War II, Columbus native Birdie Schmidt Larrick (1919-2009) became the only woman serving in the Red Cross to have an American bomber named after her. In early December 1943, Birdie traveled to the Air Base in Wendling, England, as program director of the American Red Cross (ARC) Aero Club. Also stationed in Wendling was the 392nd Bombardment Group (BG), which moved to the base in August 1943 and was assigned to the 8th Air Force. As program director, and later as director, Birdie’s responsibilities included managing the Aero Club staff, organizing programs and events for the enlisted men and officers, and managing the club's supplies for soldiers. Because of her popularity among the men at the base, the 392nd named a B-24 Liberator the “Birdie Schmidt ARC” in her honor. A portrait of Birdie’s face was painted on one side of the bomber with the symbol for the Red Cross on the other. The plane flew missions from August 1944 until it was shot down in February 1945. That same year, Birdie joined the ARC Cinemobile and performed with the 7th Army Special Service Shows before returning home in November of 1945

Identification: See key above. Relationships: According to derived aedeagal internal sac features T. thorongiensis Schmidt, 1994 is doubtless the sister species of T. eutrechoides (see above). Distribution: Fig. 98. Tibetan Himalaya of Manang Distr., Central Nepal. Hitherto only found on the eastern slope of the Thorung La pass, Muktinath Himal, north of Annapurna Massif. Habitat: Higher alpine zone; vertical distribution approximately 4900–5000 m. On ascent to Thorung La pass the species was found along small humid depressions. The type locality is now completely built over by a complex of lodges for trekking tourists called ‘High Camp’ on the way to Thorung La pass.Published as part of Schmidt, Joachim, 2009, Taxonomic and biogeographical review of the genus Trechus Clairville, 1806, from the Tibetan Himalaya and the southern central Tibetan Plateau (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Trechini) 2178, pp. 1-72 in Zootaxa 2178 (1) on page 17, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2178.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/531227
