Davies, John Paton, Jr.
▪ 2000

      American diplomat who suffered an undeserved dismissal from the foreign service in 1954 following accusations by Sen. Joseph McCarthy that Davies had “lost China” to the communists in 1949. Davies, a decorated World War II hero, was one of several “China hands” targeted during McCarthy's communist witch-hunts (b. April 6, 1908, Kiating, Sichuan province, China—d. Dec. 23, 1999, Asheville, N.C.).
