Jerry Zalph
Jerry Zalph (June 26, 1910 - January 1977) was an American journalist. He spent many years as the chief proofreader of The New York Times. He is also remembered for being one of many journalists implicated as Communists during the 1950s.
Other work[edit]
Zalph was an ardent and active Communist all of his adult life, including the time he worked at The New York Times. His brother, Izzy Zalph, wrote the official communist history of the Bonus Expeditionary Force's 1932 march on Washington, and the subsequent riot at the Anacostia Flats. His political leanings got him the attention of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee when he was implicated by Winston Burdett in 1955. The subcommittee subpoenaed him in November 1955 and he testified the next January. Zalph remained a Communist even after the hearings and he retired from the Times with a full pension.
