Walter Henry Judd was born in Rising City, Nebraska on September 25,
1898, the son of Horace Hunter and Mary Elizabeth (Greenslit) Judd. He was
educated at the University of Nebraska, receiving both his B.A. and M.D.
degrees there, the latter in 1923. From 1920 to 1924 he also taught zoology at
the University of Omaha.
In 1925 he began his career as a medical missionary in China. He
worked under the auspices of the Congregational Foreign Mission Board in
Nanking from 1925 to 1926, and in the Shaowu and Fukien hospitals from 1926 to
1931. In 1931 he returned to the United States and studied surgery under a
fellowship at the Mayo Clinic. He returned to China in 1934 where he supervised
a 125-bed hospital in Fenchow, Shansi Province. Following the Japanese invasion
of China in 1937, Judd remained at the Fenchow hospital although his family
returned to the United States. For five months he remained under Japanese rule
before returning to the United States in 1938. After his return to the United
States, he resigned from the mission field. He spent two years lecturing
throughout the country on the crisis in the Far East, particularly voicing
disapproval of American shipments of raw materials to Japan that could be made
into war materials. In 1941 he opened a private medical practice in
Minneapolis.
Backed by liberal Republicans and independents, he entered Minnesota's
fifth congressional district race in 1942. In the Republican primary he
defeated the isolationist incumbent, Oscar Youngdahl. He went on to win the
general election, defeating the Farmer-Labor candidate, Joseph Gilbert, and the
Democratic candidate, Thomas P. Ryan. In the nine succeeding congressional
elections, he defeated his Democratic-Farmer-Labor opponents. In 1962,
following redistricting, he lost to DFL candidate Donald Fraser.
During his congressional service, Judd served as the U.S. Delegate to
the World Health Assemblies (1950, 1958), the U.S. Delegate to the First
Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe (1951), and the U.S. Delegate to
the United Nations (1957).
After his retirement from Congress, Judd remained in the Washington,
D.C. area and maintained a rigorous speaking schedule, lecturing on public
affairs, China, foreign policy, and religion and ethics. From 1964 to 1970 he
was a radio commentator on the "Washington Report," sponsored by the American
Security Council.
Walter Judd married Miriam Louise Barbar on March 13, 1932. They had
three daughters: Mary Louise, Carolyn Ruth, and Eleanor Grace. Walter Judd died
February 13, 1994 and Miriam Judd died June 23, 1994.

The papers document Judd's career as a medical missionary in China
(1925-1931, 1934-1938), his twenty years as a Republican representative from
the fifth congressional district (1943-1963), and his speaking engagements

and printed material.
The first portion of the collection (1.5 cu. ft.) documents Judd's
experiences in China and his continued support for a Free China, as well as his
interest in the Far East. It includes correspondence and printed material
relating to the hospitals and missions in Shaowu and Fenchow, Shansi Province;
financial statements and reports of the Fenchow hospital; and correspondence
with Chinese friends which continued until 1991. His interest in China and the
Far East is reflected throughout his papers.

The congressional subject files (57 cu.
ft.) include correspondence with constituents, Republican party officials,
fellow members of Congress, and with a variety of organizations (civic,
religious, and special interests). Judd was closely identified with the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, as well as the Ways and Means Committee. However,
from 1943 to 1946 he also served on the Committee on Education and the
Committee on Insular Affairs. He then served on the Committee for Expenditures
in the Executive Department (1945-1948) and its successor, the Committee on
Government Operations (1953-1954). A short summary of the major activities of
these bodies is included.
A small group (3.5 cu. ft. ) of bill
files contain legislative bills introduced or co-authored by Judd.
The remaining papers consist of Judd's personal
files, and include correspondence files (family, general correspondence,
and individual correspondents); subject files; speech files; miscellaneous
materials; sound and visual material; and printed matter.
His personal subject files (5 cu. ft.) cover a wide range of topics
including his involvement with the Republican party (both national and
Minnesota. Speech files (7 cu. ft.) are, for the most part, filed
chronologically; the series also contains speech outlines and lectures.

publicity materials regarding his speaking engagements; transcripts of his
speeches on radio programs; his Reader's Digest
correspondence and reprints of his articles; oral history transcripts
(conducted by special libraries); his trips; testimonials and awards;
newsletters and press releases; and printed material (mostly government or
congressional committee reports).
The audio and visual recordings (5.5 cu. ft.) comprise phonograph
records, audio cassettes, video cassettes, filmstrips, and films. These media
cover the years 1945-1976 and reflect Judd's views on a wide range of
subjects.
