Business Career: Left college in the spring of 1917 to enter the U.S. Army, emerged from service as a field artillery major. Worked for four different companies, ranging from construction to rubber products, "took a licking" in the 1929 crash, wound up in 1932 as president of the Bush Terminal Co., Brooklyn. He resigned, stony-broke, when Bush went bankrupt in 1933, and cast about for "something fundamental" to get into. Something fundamental proved to be steel, and in 1934, at 39, he became a "sales student" at the Gary works of Illinois Steel. Rising rapidly, he became manager...

On Sunday night he scheduled a 30-minute speech before both houses of the legislature, wound up delivering a 2-hr. 16-min., arm-waving, name-calling harangue.

Before surrendering his U.S. re-entry permit in 1953, British-Subject Chaplin, a U.S. resident for 42 years, made $2.7 million, according to a tab kept by U.S. revenooers, from dividends and sale of stocks and his movie studio. Last week the income-taxers announced that Millionaire Chaplin owes them about $1.1 million in arrears and interest. This fall a revenooer will journey to Switzerland for an unfriendly...
