Robert H. Hinckley was born in Fillmore, Utah, June 8, 1891, the son of Edwin S. and Addie Henry Hinckley. His father was professor of geology and chemistry at Brigham Young University from 1895-1915 and served in other positions at that institution during his lifetime. It was in this college atmosphere that Robert H. Hinckley grew up and was educated, receiving his early education at the Brigham Young Training School. Upon graduating from Brigham Young High School in 1910, he served as a missionary in Germany for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 1916 Hinckley graduated with a BA degree from Brigham Young University.

On June 23, 1915, Robert Hinckley married Abrelia Clarissa Seely, daughter of John H. and Margaret Peel Seely. Together, they had four children. After Hinckley graduated from Brigham Young University, the couple moved to Mount Pleasant, Utah, where Hinckley became a member of the North Sanpete High School faculty. In the same year he established the Seely-Hinckley Automobile Company in Mount Pleasant.

Hinckley entered politics in 1918, Hinckley was elected to the Utah State Legislature from Sanpete County, serving from 1918 to 1920. In 1923 he was elected as the first Democratic mayor of Mount Pleasant, serving from 1924 to 1925. Hinckley moved to Ogden, Utah, in 1927 and established another automobile business, Robert H. Hinckley Dodge, Inc. In 1928 he moved the dealership to Ogden and, in 1955, opened a second dealership in Salt Lake City, Hinckley Dodge, on State Street.

In addition to his automobile businesses, Hinckley had an enthusiasm for flight that had developed early. He attended his first International Air Meet at Belmont Park, New York, in 1910. Three years later at Templehofer Field, Berlin, Germany, he made his first flight with Melli Beese, the champion woman flier of the world at that time and wife of the French airman Charles Boutard. In 1927, he was one of the first revenue passengers to fly between Salt Lake City and Reno on a Boeing Air Transport plane. In 1928, Hinckley helped organize, and became an officer of, the Utah-Pacific Airways, Inc. This company survived the pioneering stages of aviation with a perfect safety record. It was the first flying service to furnish airplanes to the government for the purpose of taking a game census in Yellowstone National Park. This became a common practice, as did the technique of dropping supplies to forest fire fighters by small parachutes, also developed by Utah-Pacific Airways. Hinckley was one of the most frequent users of commercial airplanes while serving as regional director of the Western Region for the Works Progress Administration and played an important role in the development of airports under the WPA program.

Robert H. Hinckley had served on Governor George H. Dern's Voluntary Relief Committee from 1931 and had been appointed in 1933 by Governor Henry H. Blood as director of the state emergency relief program enacted by a special session of the legislature of that year. The responsibility of supervising the expenditure of relief funds from their respective states, as well as large sums of money provided by the federal government, fell on the state directors. Within a few months after Hinckley took the job of distributing federal funds, the success of his administration attracted attention in Washington, D. C., and in September 1934 he was appointed by Harry L. Hopkins to serve as assistant administrator of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration and continued as field representative of eleven western states, and Hawaii and Alaska, a position in which he served until 1938.

Hinckley's role in economic relief programs during the Great Depression and his contributions to the development of the airline industry in the American West led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to nominate him to the Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA) in 1938. Hinckley was sworn into the role on August 8, 1938; several months later, in November 1938, construction began on the Washington National Airport, which was completed in June 1940. In April 1939, Hinckley became chairman of the CAA and a year later, in 1941, he was appointed assistant secretary of commerce. In this position, Hinckley was responsible for the direction of the CAA, the United States Weather Bureau, and the Coast and Geodetic Survey. He was involved in the development of the Civilian Pilot Training Program. This program, originally conceived by Hinckley as a peacetime project to give flight training to college-aged youth, proved to be one of the greatest contributions to the nation's war effort. The program was planned in 1938 and launched in 1939 with the passage by the Seventy-sixth Congress of the Civilian Pilot Training Act. At the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, pilots were trained and airplanes were available for the United States military. In 1983, the Federal Aviation Administration gave Hinckley the Award for Extraordinary Service for his role in developing and administering the Civilian Pilot Training Program.

Hinckley resigned as assistant secretary of commerce in 1942 to join the Sperry Corporation (Sperry Rand), an American equipment and electronics company. During World War II, the Sperry Corporation was ranked 19th among United States corporations in the value of wartime production contracts.

Though Hinckley had intended to remain in private business for the remainder of his career, in 1944, President Roosevelt nominated him for Senate approval to be director of Contract Settlement for a term of two years. The settlement of government contracts was a challenge to the United States' transition from wartime back into peace. In this position, Hinckley was responsible for preventing unemployment, waste, and other economic problems during the transition. The organization was set up and functioning successfully when Mr. Hinckley resigned eighteen months later, February 1, 1946, to return to private life.

In 1945, Hinckley founded KALL Radio. After leaving the Contract Settlement directorship, Hinckley co-founded the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) with Edward J. Noble, long a close friend and colleague. Shortly after, he was elected vice president and director of the company. In 1951, ABC merged with Paramount Theatres to become one of the largest television networks in the United States. He remained in this role until his retirement in 1959 at the age of sixty-eight.

Several years after the founding of ABC, President Harry S. Truman asked Hinckley, as a member of the Economic Cooperation Administration Public Advisory Board, to do a special inspection tour of European countries to determine the success of the Marshall Plan. Mr. Hinckley took a leave of absence in August 1949, from ABC to complete the inspection. He continued to serve on the advisory board when the Economic Cooperation Administration was succeeded by the Mutual Security Agency.

In addition to his work in government and business, Hinckley served on numerous boards and contributing to many philanthropic causes. He served four terms on the University of Utah Board of Regents, serving until 1973. On May 10, 1965 Hinckley established the Robert H. Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah with a gift from himself and the Edward John Noble Foundation. In 1954, Hinckley and three of his brothers established the Hinckley scholarship at Brigham Young University in honor of their father. He also established the Abrelia Seely Hinckley scholarship at Weber State College and the John H. Seely and Robert H. Hinckley scholarships at Utah State University.

In 1977, Hinckley published an autobiography, co-authored with JoAnn Jacobsen Wells, I'd Rather be Lucky Than Rich. In 1998 the Hinckley Institute published Bae B. Gardner's biography of Hinckley, Robert Henry Hinckley: Getting to Know Him. Hinckley received many award and honors throughout his lifetime, including the B'nai B'rith Citizen Achievement Award (1967); the Brotherhood Award of the Utah Chapter of the National Conference of Christians and Jews (1977); and inductions into the Beehive Hall of Fame in 1987 and the Utah Auto Dealers Hall of Fame in 1987. He also received honorary degrees from both Brigham Young University (1964) and the University of Utah (1973).

Robert H. Hinckley died on April 30, 1988.

The Robert H. Hinckley papers (1891-1997) reflect Hinckley's dedicated service to his community, his state, his country, and his fellowman. A major portion of the collection is correspondence. In an attempt to keep the file as originally set up, some of the correspondence is in chronological order, some arranged alphabetically, and some is left within subject categories--Civil Aeronautics Authority, Works Progress Administration, state and national politics, radio, etc. Correspondence with prominent men and women of the period appear in these files. Hinckley's long years of service on the University of Utah Board of Regents are represented in the collection, beginning with his first appointment by Governor George H. Dern in 1929 and continuing to 1941. His later terms are not included.

The section on the Federal Emergency Relief, Civil Works Administration, and Works Progress Administration includes the papers of Hinckley's involvement in Utah's program of relief from 1930 and in the regional program (eleven western states and Alaska and Hawaii) as field representative beginning in 1934 and continuing to 1938. A portion of this section covers the controversy in the Mormon church concerning church relief as opposed to the federal WPA program.

Robert H. Hinckley was appointed a member of the Civil Aeronautics Authority in August 1938, in April 1939 he was made chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, and in June 1940 he became assistant secretary of commerce. The papers which cover this period include, besides correspondence, the reorganization of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, Hinckley's Civilian Pilot Training Program, and extend into World War II and national defense.

A limited amount of material is available under Hinckley's short period with Sperry Corporation (Sperry Rand) before returning to government service as director of Office of Contract Settlement. These papers are represented in the collection along with papers on the American Broadcasting Company, Economic Cooperation Administration, Mutual Security Agency, and the Welsh Pony Society of America.

The collection of Hinckley's speeches and articles, which span more than forty years, cover a broad range of subjects and interests. Speeches and articles of many other notable people associated with, and working in the same interests with Hinckley, have been preserved and are in the collection.

 Civil Aeronautics Authority Reorganization--Civil Aeronautics Authority--Civilian Pilot Training Program

In an article published in August 1940, Hinckley, then assistant secretary of commerce, discussed the relationship between civil aviation and the federal government as it existed before the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938. There was no coordination between the federal services and the civil aviation industry. For instance, Hinckley states: "The Post Office Department let mail contracts; the Interstate Commerce Commission had power to fix mail rates; the Department of Agriculture provided weather reports; and the Department of Commerce inspected flyers and air craft, constructed airways, and had safety jurisdiction over airlines."

Under the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 these functions--airmail, weather, airways, etc.--were brought together under a single independent body of five men to judge and prescribe the rules for the whole field of civil aviation. The board was bipartisan and the terms of members were staggered to assure continuity of policy. Hinckley was one of the charter members of this board. During the two years the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 functioned as the central agency of control, many problems were solved but rapid growth of civil aviation and the need for extended policies resulted in executive action to bring about the reorganization of the Civil Aeronautics Authority.

Background materials dealing with this reorganization including graphs, charts, statistics, forms, letters, etc., and suggested organizational plans are found in this portion of the collection, as well as the minutes and work files of the Advisory Council of the Civil Aeronautics Authority.

The papers in this portion of the collection cover the story of the Civilian Pilot Training Program from the first agendum in 1938 to 1944. Contained therein are school programs for pilot training, lists of schools and institutions involved in the programs, materials from the Division of Research in aviation psychology and medicine, and other related items.

The Civilian Pilot Training Program was planned in 1938 and launched in 1939 with the passage by the Seventy-sixth Congress of the Civilian Pilot Training Act. It authorized the Civil Aeronautics Authority, within the limits of appropriations made by Congress, to train civilian pilots through programs using existing facilities at universities and colleges and nearby flying fields. Leaders in education and in the aviation industry were consulted and worked with the Civil Aeronautics Authority to set up the program. As a test for the feasibility of the program, $100,000 of National Youth Administration funds were allocated for the training of 330 students in 13 universities and colleges throughout the country. These 13 schools were chosen on the basis of pioneer work they had done in aeronautical engineering and actual flight training of students. The first school to begin flight training was Purdue University on a demonstration phase beginning February 16, 1939. Twelve other schools then joined this initial program as a test for the larger program which would eventually have 900 training facilities all over the United States and would train 20,000 pilots a year. Preparing fields and training facilities were part of the program.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt had recommended to Congress an appropriation for 1939-1940 if the initial program was a success. It was. The program was endorsed by the president as well as the military services because of the national defense value of the reservoir of trained pilots the Civil Aeronautics Authority was creating.

The program had been in operation only a year when the world crisis increased the urgency for greater strength in the air. Congress increased the pilot training appropriation in line with the president's request and a full-scale program for training pilots was on its way. At the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, within less than three years of the initial program, the number of licensed civilian pilots had jumped from 25,000 to more than 100,000 and the number of planes had more than doubled from 12,000 to 25,000.

The record of air power during the war years is well known. Of the man who determinedly pursued his Civilian Pilot Training Program, the , July 3, 1942, had this to say: "Due to his foresight and promotion of the Civilian Pilot Training Program, the nation built up a reservoir of skilled pilots to fly American warplanes long before this country was plunged into war . . . ." This man was Robert H. Hinckley.

 VI. Office of Contract Settlement VI General Materials 83 When Hinckley joined Sperry Corporation in 1942 as assistant to the president, he had given up government service and intended to remain in private business until he retired. In 1944 President Franklin D. Roosevelt persuaded him that his services were again needed in government to serve as director of Contract Settlement. In 1943 and 1944 contract termination loomed as one of the largest of the problems of the transition from war to peace. Contract settlement required the utmost cooperation from the various branches of government, from contractors and contracting agencies, from prime contractors and their subcontractors, and from all those engaged in the various aspects of an exacting task performed under the pressures and tensions of the war and postwar period. The wholehearted response to the needs of the situation on the part of Congress, the executive branch, and contractors met the difficulties so completely that by the end of 1945 contract termination had vanished from the category of reconversion problems. Hinckley, a former assistant secretary of commerce for air, was appointed the first director of Contract Settlement on July 28, 1944. From the beginning, the director followed the policy of leaving the actual settlement of terminations in the hands of the contracting agencies which had made the original contracts. Qualified personnel was recruited and the Office of Contract Settlement was organized as a policy-making office, following the direction of the act to use "the personnel and facilities of the contracting agencies and other established Government agencies" to the maximum extent feasible. Extensive use was made of special consultants chosen from persons prominent in the accounting, engineering, and other fields, as a means of obtaining highly competent assistance on particular problems without building a large permanent staff. The staff of the office at no time exceeded seventy-eight. In accordance with the act, the director submitted quarterly reports to Congress on the progress of the settlement program. These reports provide a concise record of important actions taken and of settlement statistics. The organizations developed and the experience gained in settling 157,000 terminations with canceled commitments of $23.7 billion prior to VJ-day prepared government and industry for the mass terminations which followed victory over Japan. More than 132,000 terminations, involving approximately $26.6 billion in canceled commitments, were effected during the third quarter of 1945. The bulk of the termination load (96 percent of the total number and 83 percent of the total canceled commitments) had been settled by June 30, 1946. Only 1,804 terminations, with canceled commitments of $2.2 billion remained by March 31, 1947. This was less than 1 percent of the total number of more than 321,000 contracts canceled, and approximately 3 percent of the total of $65.7 billion of canceled commitments. From the beginning of war production to March 31, 1947, canceled commitments of $63.5 billion were settled for gross allowances of $6.5 billion or slightly more than 10 percent. (Information on the Office of Contract Settlement was taken from , Office of Contract Settlement, July 1947, p. 3.) The items covering the Office of Contract Settlement include, besides the complete history, correspondence; reports to Congress, 1944-1947; miscellaneous reports; news releases; published articles; Hinckley's trip to England, 1945; and other related materials.

The Economic Cooperation Administration was a United States governmental agency established to provide funds for the economic recovery of Europe. The possibility for such a plan was first proposed by Secretary of State George C. Marshall in 1947 and became known as the Marshall Plan. The Economic Cooperation Administration was the government agency set up to implement the Marshall Plan.

Hinckley, vice president and director of the American Broadcasting Company, took a leave of absence for a month in August 1949 to undertake a special inspection tour for Economic Cooperation Administration at the request of President Harry S. Truman. Hinckley was a member of the Economic Cooperation Administration Public Advisory Board.

Journal, notes, itineraries, correspondence, and reports on the fifteen countries visited from 1949-1951 are included in this portion of the collection.

 Mutual Security Agency (MSA) 91

The Mutual Security Agency was established under the Mutual Security Act of 1951. It was set up to succeed the Economic Cooperation Administration December 30, 1957. W. Averill Harriman was appointed by President Harry S. Truman to serve as director to supervise the Mutual Security program. The same Advisory Board of Economic Cooperation Administration, with Hinckley still a member, continued to act in an advisory capacity to Harriman on policy matters relating to the Mutual Security program. The director was responsible for supervising the program so that it would be "effectively integrated both at home and abroad, and administered so as to assure that the defensive strength of the free nations of the world shall be built as quickly as possible on the basis of continuous and effective self-help and mutual aid."

The program included contributions to help strengthen Europe, the Near East and Africa, the Far East, and Latin America. By far the greatest portion of the funds went to help build up the defenses of Europe.

The materials covering this period of Hinckley's government service, 1951-1953, on the Advisory Board of the Mutual Security Agency include correspondence, organization charts, congressional bills and acts, agenda, reports, and press releases.
