Facing a vote of censure by the United Nations Legal Committee, Polish Delegate Juliusz Katz-Suchy, known along the East River as the poor man's Vishinsky, left his seat, told reporters he was going for "a drink of water," instead, picked up his coat and walked out. Reason for the censure: as the committee's chairman, Katz-Suchy refused to recognize Nationalist China's Dr. Shuhsi Hsu as "the delegate from China." sneeringly kept calling him "Dr. Hsu." Resolved the committee: "It is the duty of the chairman . . . to treat all members . . . as representatives of their...
...popular Presbyterian pastor whose round-the-world trip in 1951 as a missionary ambassador at large (TIME, April 28, 1952) had a highly effective, if unofficial, propaganda value for the U.S. This left the Tammany Democrats out on a limb with a non-Negro candidate.

Over the years, Americans have learned to distinguish some of the names of the men who come to the U.N. to denounce the U.S. One of the more prominent among these was Juliusz Katz-Suchy, in 1951 the churlish chief of Poland's U.N. delegation. In anti-American invective, Katz-Suchy seemed to be the match of any of his Russian or other Iron Curtain colleagues; occasionally he even spiced his Marxist denunciations of the U.S. as warmonger, slavemaster and cannibal with quotations from Shakespeare. But U.N. colleagues who knew him insisted that there were symptoms of Western infection...

Once, according to one story, he was making an anti-American speech when a U.S. delegate walked out in a huff. "Why does he get so worked up now?" Katz-Suchy remarked. "I have been making the same speech for years." He also seemed to be guilty occasionally of bourgeois sentimentality. In his office, on top of the safe which held his secret files, he used to keep a small Christmas tree hung with silver snow and tiny colored balls...
...night last week, a Cadillac crashed into a pillar at the Manhattan end of New York's Triborough Bridge. From the wreckage police lifted Katz-Suchy, with head and tongue injuries, and a Polish woman journalist, who was also hurt. Reporters learned that Katz-Suchy had plane reservations for Europe and was scheduled to leave the night after the accident. U.N. corridor gossip had insistently compared him to Czechoslovakia's recently executed Vladimir dementis (TIME, Dec. 15), who was also recalled from an Assembly session. Katz-Suchy may well have been in a state of mind calculated...
