Biographical Note

J.L. Tupy was a Czech immigrant that lived in Chicago. He worked closely with Adolph J. Sabath during the 1930s, probably in the capacity of secretary or administrative assistant. On one occasion, he was special investigator of a House committee, headed by Sabath, to check on bondholders' reorganizations. He helped record Sabath's biographical information by taking notes as Sabath dictated to his memoirs to him. Tupy would make radio addresses on behalf of Sabath to inform Sabath's constituents of his work in Congress.
