<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.
