Under the McCleary administration Republic acquired Sheet & Tube, and in 1929 will more than double its 1928 earnings. McCleary habit: to work 12 hours a day 365 days a year.

When the corpse of a bearded man, dressed only in pajamas, was found stretched on the pavement of London's Horse Guards Parade, it seemed a fairly simple matter to identify him.
