Gerald Graze

Gerald Graze was the brother of Stanley Graze. Both were employed by the United States Department of State during World War II. In 1944, Katherine Perlo, the ex-wife of Soviet spy Victor Perlo, named Gerald Graze as a secret member of the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) was employed in government. Gerald Graze was also listed in the Lee Report of Department of State security risks compiled about 1947 by Robert Lee. The "Lee List" may have been Sen.
