Although classified as unfit for military duty due to theloss of vision in one eye, Whipple joined the Red Cross during the Second World War, and served with distinction with over thirtymonths of overseas service. After returning to civilian life and severing ties with the Communist Party, he resumed his position atthe Globe, rising steadily to become editor of the opinion page in 1962 and ombudsperson in 1975.

Background on Charles WhippleBackground on Charles WhippleA noted journalist with the Boston Globe, Charles L. Whippleearned national attention in 1967 as author of the first editorialat a major U.S. newspaper to oppose American involvement inthe War in Vietnam. Born in Salem, Massachusetts, on May 18,1914, the son of a successful dry goods merchant, Whipple haddeep New England roots, claiming descent from both a Salemwitch and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Aprecocious student, he graduated from Lexington High School in1930 at the age of 16, and being too young for college, preppedat Exeter for an additional year before entering his father's almamater, Harvard.

Despite coming from privilege, Whipple was drawn to radicalpolitics, joining the Young Communist League in his sophomoreyear in 1933 and remaining active as he continued on to thestudy of law, intending to become a labor attorney. Whether itwas because of his politics or other matters, Whipple's careerplans took a sharp turn in 1936 when he ran afoul of a professorin property law, who failed him for skipping a class, resulting indismissal from school. After recovering from the "horribleshock," Whipple spent the summer selling Realsilk hosiery door-to-door before landing a position as a copy boy at the BostonGlobe in September. He quickly found his niche in journalism. Atalented writer with a keen intellect, Whipple moved up to become a cub reporter, earning bylines for covering local and nationalpolitics.

Although he later claimed that his drift away from Communist sympathies began when he started as a newspaperman, Whippleappears to have remained true to his radical politics. At the Globe, he joined the American Newspaper Guild, a union which hadbeen organized three years previously by the left-wing journalist Heywood Broun and which in 1937, shifted affiliation from the

AFL to the more radical CIO. A part of a small Communist study group within the union, Whipple rose quickly to become Secretaryfor the Boston chapter.

As the threat of entry into the Second World War loomed over the United States in 1940, Whipple left the Globe to become a full-time international representative for the American Newspaper Guild. Although he later claimed that he moved to the Pittsburgharea to break ties with the Communist Party over its agitation to keep the U.S. out of the conflict (a stance it held before theGerman attack on Russia), Whipple was actually charged by the union with directing the 1941 strike against the Aliquippa DailyGazette.

Whatever his political views had become, Whipple was eager to join in the struggle. Classified IV-F (unfit for active duty) due to theloss of sight in one eye, he nevertheless managed to enlist with the Red Cross in September 1942, serving thirty months inEurope and earning a Purple Heart for minor wounds sustained while evacuating soldiers soon after the invasion of Normandy.By the middle of 1945, Whipple was serving as a Red Cross Field Director with the rank of Captain, working with the 21st ArmyGroup to supply liberated American Prisoners of War while they awaited transfer home.

When he returned to civilian life in 1946, Whipple resumed his old job with the Globe. His talent and dedication earned him anappointment as editor of the newspaper's opinion page in 1962, and after he resigned that position in 1975 to make way for awoman editor (Anne Wyman), he became the paper's first Ombudsperson. Having turned against the war in Vietnam early on, heeditorialized regularly against American involvement and traveled there in 1968 to report on the war firsthand.

After more than forty years' at the Globe, Whipple stepped down in 1979, although he did not fully retire. With his second wife,Priscilla, he moved to Beijing, China, to work with Xinhua News Agency and the Beijing Review to establish China's first English-language daily, the China Daily, in 1981. Three years later, the Whipples returned to Massachusetts and settled into fullretirement in Leverett, Mass. Charles Whipple died at Cooley-Dickinson Hospital in Northampton on May 12, 1991, followingcomplications from surgery.

Scope of collectionScope of collectionA mixture of personal and professional correspondence, writing, and subject and clipping files, the Charles Whipple Papersdocument a long and exceptional career in journalism. The diverse roles that Whipple filled at the Boston Globe from the 1930sthrough 1970s resulted in rich documentation of his work as an organizer for the American Newspaper Guild on the eve of theSecond World War; his writing and editorial work during the Vietnam War and as the Globe's Ombudsman in the 1970s; and thethree years he spent in China setting up an English-language newspaper during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

As a writer, Whipple left not only copies of many original articles he wrote for the Boston Globe, but essays dating during hisundergraduate years at Harvard, short stories and poetry, and a copy of his book, "War in Vietnam." His correspondence can bequite revealing of his attitudes toward his profession, contemporary politics, and the people he encountered along the way.
