Biography

In 1941, Clapper attended New York University (one semester). By then shock had mostly worn off and he was on his way to regaining the station becoming a proud and stubborn member of the master race. While in the beginning most interrogators worked with maps, we now in this division work with all sorts of photos whenever feasible. Worked as Sales Manager.
