This article is an historical inquiry into the two scholars whose work served as the foundation of the academic study of public relations in public administration. Herman Beyle’s Governmental Reporting in 1928 and James McCamy’s Government Publicity in 1939 were seminal in their impact. Beyle explored the democratic purposes of government public relations, and McCamy, its pragmatic uses. In retrospect, both Beyle and McCamy had had an extraordinary insight, namely that the communication of information was an essential and increasing aspect of government. Since then, the subfield of government public relations has had its ups and downs, but may be on the rise again.

This is an historical inquiry into the events that led to Fesler’s 1949 maxim that federal field administrative regions should always be larger than an individual state. When he proclaimed that principle he concluded that state-based regions caused political problems for personnel and locational reasons, but only presented a single contemporary example for each of those reasons. Relying on primary and archival sources, this article provides additional historical proofs for Fesler’s maxim. It discusses several largely forgotten political controversies that occurred during the Presidency of Franklin Roosevelt regarding state-based federal administrative regions. This reconstruction is a form of forensic public administration history, seeking to give a clearer understanding of why Fesler addressed the subject at all and providing additional factual substantiation for his axiom.
