- <p> DIED. John McCloy, 93, paladin of the American
- establishment whose 60 years of service to the nation ranged
- from investigating German sabotage of a U.S. World War I
- munitions plant to advising Ronald Reagan in 1980; in Stamford,
- Conn. As Assistant Secretary of War from 1941 to 1945, McCloy
- helped secure congressional passage of the Lend-Lease Act and
- oversee the internment of Japanese Americans. As postwar U.S.
- Military Governor and High Commissioner for Germany, he smoothed
- West Germany's passage from occupied territory to sovereign
- state. McCloy, whose law firm represented the Pahlavi family,
- had a key role in sparking the Iranian hostage crisis: he
- successfully lobbied the Carter Administration to admit the Shah
- of Iran to the U.S. for cancer treatment in 1979.
