after dismissal. One of the factors cited by the tribunal as justification for this award was
"the fact that he joined the UN at the special request of Mr. Ralph Bunche." 37
In spite of all this Dwight D. Eisenhower, while president of Columbia University, praised
Ralph Bunche as "the greatest statesman this country has produced." 38 The Eisenhower
appointed loyalty review board, likewise, found no reason to question the loyalty of Ralph
Bunche. He was routinely cleared along with a host of others with similar backgrounds.
On May 31, 1954, just three days after Bunche received his security clearance, the
Communist Daily Worker ran an article which boasted:
The UN was getting ready to appoint Dr. Ralph J. Bunche to a new high
post when certain racist "anti-Communist" forces moved to stop this. . . .
And so Dr. Bunche again had to solemnly prove his "loyalty"-- meaning
that be had to prove be is innocent of the "crime" of Marxism and is a
reliable supporter of the "anti-Communist" policy. The plans of the "anti-
Communists" who could not stomach the idea of a Negro in a top UN
post couldn't be carried through. The same enormous anti-racist
pressure which, in the U.S.A. and throughout the world, compelled the
Supreme Court to declare segregated schools and housing un-
Constitutional, also blocked this scheme. But what was revealed again
was the un-American machinery of the "anti-Communist" frame-up mill.
Bunche, thanks to the new anti-racist upsurge, escaped. 39
Philip Jessup: Philip Jessup is the man who represents the United States as one of the
eleven justices on the United Nations World Court. His past is studded with affiliations with
groups officially designated as Communist fronts. One of these, the Institute of Pacific
Relations, has already been discussed. However, since Jessup was probably the most
prominent and influential of all the leaders of this organization, it warrants recalling that the
Senate Internal Security Subcommittee found that:
The IPR has been considered by the American Communists and by
Soviet officials as an instrument of Communist policy, propaganda and
military intelligence. . . . A small core of officials and staff members
carried the main burden of IPR activities and directed its administration
and policies. Members of the small core of officials and staff members
who controlled the IPR were either Communists or pro-Communists.
Jessup was chairman of the IPR American council from 1939 to 1940 and chairman of its
Pacific council from 1939 to 1942. Both councils were high-level policy-making bodies. 40
Jessup, both in and out of the IPR, was closely associated with Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter
White, Frederick Vanderbilt Field and Lauchlin Currie. And, like Ralph Bunche, he came to
the defense of Hiss as a character witness at Hiss's trial.
When Frank Coe, secretary of the United Nations International Monetary Fund, testified
before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee in 1952, be inadvertently put Jessup in
rather strange company. After readily answering questions about his associations with
sundry individuals who had never been implicated in the Communist conspiracy, he
suddenly found it necessary to invoke the Fifth Amendment when asked if he knew Philip
Jessup.
