Gladwyn Jebb

From The Memoirs of Lord Gladwyn 1972 by Lord Gladwyn Jebb

For the time being . . . I remaind fairly popular and one pleasing feature was the appearance . . . in my office of a delegation from the New York Society for General Semantics who presented me with a 'Citation' for my 'outstanding contributions to the cause of Peace in the Security Council of the United Nations ; for plain speaking, for unmasking the propaganda technique of "upside-down language" and for the most important application of semantic criticism in the field of international relations,' signed by Mr Allen Walker Reed [sic] and Mr Max Sherover (for the director.) I was rather touched by this tribute and have also had it framed.   (Etc.)

New York : Weybright and Talley 1972, p. 239.

Mark Well (1) Professor Allen Walker Read was one of the premier American lexicographers of the period. Most highly recommended for the students of language.

Mr. Jebb was not a semi-literate pumpkin and could not be ignorant of the work by Professor Read hence of the spelling of the name. A mere typo would be a paltry explanation for a text which otherwise looks carefully edited. But this alone does not prove anything.

(2) Who was Mr Max Sherover ? (I have seen a few publications listed under the name but do not know anything else about the person. No data seem readily available, please, the reader, if possible let me know.)

(3) The book by Mr. Jebb contains numerous encomiums placed on the notorious criminal Alger Hiss (convicted by the U.S. court of perjury in 1951, had served about three years of the penitentiary, after release made much noise about his case without actually denying wrongdoing). Mr. Jebb had not mentioned any of the preceding. This one is not my guess but positive evidence of disinformation by Mr. Jebb, by omission.

The above items have acquired other significances relative to the following, found by me today. (WPT, 16 Aug 05)

From The Sword and the Shield, Christopher Andrew and Vasili Mitrokhin, 1999

Burgess�s first journey as a courier between Philby in Washington and Makayev in New York took place in November 1950.¹³² The main pretext for his journeys to New York was to visit his friend Alan Maclean (younger brother of Donald), private secretary to the British representative at the United Nations, Gladwyn Jebb.¹³³ Once the liaison established by Burgess was working smoothly, Philby agreed to meet Makayev himself. Burgess, however, continued to act as the usual method of communication between Philby and his case officer.¹³⁴ His visits to Alan Maclean became so frequent that Jebb formed the mistaken impression that the two men �shared a flat.� Conversations with Alan doubtless also helped Burgess keep track of Donald Maclean�s unstable mental state.¹³⁵
