Stanley Graze
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stanley Graze, born in New York City. Graze was a second lieutenant in the US Army and economist by profession. He graduated from and lectured at the City College of New York and had a masters degree from Columbia University. He was employed by Wall Street, State Department Intelligence and the United Nations. Stanley was the brother of Gerald Graze, both were listed in the 1948 Gorsky Memo[1], identified as government officials related to the Soviets. Graze was also listed in the FBI Silvermaster File, which was compiled during the Cold War to assess Soviet presence in the US Government. The FBI placed surveillance over his interaction with Victor Perlo[2]. It remains unclear if the cryptonym "DAN", is in fact Graze.
While working as an officer in the Office of Strategic Services, Graze participated in secret intelligence programs in Europe, based out of London during WWII. His military records were destroyed in a fire at an army storage facility, making it hard to know with certainty what his exact assignments for the US Army were. It is well known that the American intelligence infiltrated Europe with the help of communist liaisons in the local resistance movements against the Nazis[3]. The OSS and its exact involvement in World War II has still not been clarified entirely. Much of the information is still classified or is not permissible to released under the Freedom of Information Act.
After Senator Margaret Chase Smith's Declaration of Conscience, the McCarthy era started a rapid decline. Graze was never convicted of any wrongdoings, instead he received an Honorable Discharge at the end of his military service.
