Jefferson Franklin Ray, Jr. was born to Baptist missionaries in Kobe, Japan in 1905. Ray attended Vanderbilt University from 1922 to 1923, before transferring to Yale College. He completed his B.A. at Yale in 1926 and studied philosophy and psychology at the Yale University School of Graduate Studies from 1926 to 1929. Ray worked as an investment counselor and as an administrator of several government agencies before assisting the American Ambassador to China and United States Army commanding generals in the Chinese, Burmese and Indian theaters during World War II. In 1945, Ray became assistant lend-lease administrator and chief of the Foreign Economic Administration's China division. From 1945 to 1947, Ray served as director of the Far Eastern Office of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and as acting director of the China Office in 1946. Over the next few years, Ray worked in various diplomatic capacities for the United Nations and the United States in Korea and China. Because of his associations with the Institute for Pacific Relations and his UNRRA policy, Ray was brought before the Economic Cooperation Administration's Review Board in 1949. Although Ray was found to be a loyal government employee, his career was severely damaged. From 1951 to 1953, Ray served as the chief of the Geneva Liaison Office of the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency. Ray returned to the United States, found work in business and retired in 1971. Ray died on February 22, 1991.
