Today’s Highlight in History:
1947
Truman signs resolution naming Hoover Dam
On April 30, 1947, President Harry S. Truman signed a resolution officially confirming the name of Hoover Dam, which had also come to be known as “Boulder Dam.”
On this date:
1517: Londoners began attacking foreign residents in rioting that carried over into the next day; no deaths were reported from what came to be known as “Evil May Day,” but about a dozen rioters, maybe more, ended up being executed.
1789: George Washington took the oath of office in New York as the first president of the United States.
1803: The United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France for 60 million francs, the equivalent of about $15 million.
1812: Louisiana became the 18th state of the Union.
1900: Engineer John Luther “Casey” Jones of the Illinois Central Railroad died in a train wreck near Vaughan, Mississippi, after staying at the controls in a successful effort to save the passengers.
1939: The New York World’s Fair officially opened with a ceremony that included an address by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
1945: As Soviet troops approached his Berlin bunker, Adolf Hitler committed suicide along with his wife of one day, Eva Braun.
1968: New York City police forcibly removed student demonstrators occupying five buildings at Columbia University.
1973: President Richard Nixon announced the resignations of top aides H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst (KLYN’-deenst) and White House counsel John Dean, who was actually fired.
1975: The Vietnam War ended as the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon fell to Communist forces.
1988: Gen. Manuel Noriega, waving a machete, vowed at a rally to keep fighting U.S. efforts to oust him as Panama’s military ruler.
1997: The U.S. Senate approved, 85-13, the nomination of Alexis Herman to be labor secretary. ABC-TV aired the “coming out” episode of the situation comedy “Ellen” in which the title character played by Ellen DeGeneres acknowledged her homosexuality, weeks after DeGeneres revealed in Time magazine that she, too, was a lesbian.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda (yoh-shih-HEE’-koh NOH’-duh), meeting at the White House, decried aggressive acts from North Korea, including a recent failed rocket launch, and vowed to maintain a unified front against such provocations. A ferry carrying more than 300 people capsized in a river in northeast India, killing some 100 people and leaving about as many missing.
One year ago: Anti-government protesters tore down walls and poured into the Iraqi capital’s heavily fortified Green Zone, where they stormed parliament in a major escalation of a political crisis that had simmered for months. President Barack Obama performed his brand of sharp-tongued comedy at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the last time — wrapping up with “Obama out” and dropping the mic as the crowd cheered. The Rev. Daniel Berrigan, 94, a Roman Catholic priest and peace activist who was imprisoned for burning draft files in a protest against the Vietnam War, died in New York.
