Julius Fleischmann

Inherited fortune from Yeast Business. Financed New Yorker, "New York’s Metropolitan opera; a fellow of the royal Society of the Arts, London; a member of the advisory committee of the Yale drama School; a director of Diaghilev’s Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo; a director of the Ballet Foundation of new York; and a financial backer of many Broadway productions."

He then served as the front sponsor, first for the Fleischmann Foundation, and then for the Farfield Foundation, a CIA slush fund used for the Congress for Cultural Freedom. The New Yorker link becomes quite interesting when you look at one of the journalists which covered CCF events in Paris, Janet Flanner. Her husband (briefly, then lifelong friend), William Lane Rehm, was an OSS man, and she was also involved in the reporting on the Stravisky Affair.
