Young, Owen D. (27 October 1874 - 11 July 1962)

An industrialist and lawyer, Young founded the Radio Corporation of America (RCA).

In 1924, with Charles G. Dawes, he was a U.S. representative at the reparations conference following World War I.

In 1929, his formulation, called the Young Plan, made reparations a financial, rather than a purely political, matter.

Young was a member of the Universalist National Memorial Church in Washington, D.C., which has “The Owen D. Young Peace Tower” in his honor.

General Electric has an online biography of Young.
