Soviet agent Michael Straight was publisher of The New Republic in the 1940’s and 1950’s. He recruited Henry Wallace as Editor before Wallace ran for President in 1948 on a Stalinist platform.

They did have that Uncle Joe interlude for a few years, but Straight - a Soviet agent to be sure - was out by the mid 50’s.
