2 unusual facts about Conference of Governors


Conference of Governors

Among the attendees was Governor Newton C. Blanchard of Louisiana, whose term technically ended the day before the conference began.

Joining Blanchard at the conference were two Louisiana conservationists, Henry E. Hardtner, called "the father of forestry in the South", and William Edenborn, an industrialist who had developed a "humane" form of barbed wire that did not injure the cattle.


Erhard Hübener

By threatening the SVAG to resign from office, Hübener enforced the participation of the Soviet zonal governors in the Conference of Governors in Munich on 5 June 1947, which last time convened the elected governors of all states from all four zones of occupation in Germany.
