Wallace today they were carrying

would want us to do"
Beginning a tour of war plants in
the hope their fortitude in their
time OF sorrow might inspire workers
to maximum production efforts, the
Sullivans were wished "Godspeed"
by Mr.. Wallace after an earlier call
on Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who
pronounced the projected tour -
grand idea"
Mrs. Roosevelt was wonderful"
Mrs. Sullivan said. "She thought
1t was fine of my husband to 90 to
work Immediately after receiving
word our five sons were missing
after the sinking of the Juneau last
November
Mr.. Sullivan. a freight conductor.
said he felt it was not right to "lay
OF" and delay departure Of his
train, and that he hoped to convince
war workers they shouldn't lay oil,
either"
The Sullivans will visit plants at
Baltimore tomorrow. Philadelphia
plants Friday, spend Sunday in New
York and then on next Monday
meet the. Rogers family Of Bridge
port, Conn, whose four Navy sons
are reported missing, two on the
cruiser Juneau.
After q visit in Waterloo, they
will journey to Portland, Greg, for
the dedication on Washington's
Birthday OF Navy tug in honor of
their sons.
The war plant trip was Mrs. Sui
livan's own idea-"Dad and I want
to help the Navy 50 other boys will
be able to come home" she ex-
planned simply. Mr.. Sullivan nodded
agreement.
Mrs. Sullivan still holds to hope
that, somehow, the boys have es-
capped death. A shipmate wrote

Frank Burke Dies;
Famous 5py-Caicher
In First World War
Seized Dr.. AIbert's
Brief Cose, Exposing
German Plotting Here

The Treasury Department an
nounced that Frank Burke. retired
Secret Service agent and an ace spy
chaser in the last war, died yester-
day in Coral Gables, Fla.
Mr.. Burke, who was ~, retired last
June after 43 years Of service. He
was credited with obtaining evidence
which exposed the ramifications Of
German espionage activities in this
country while the United States was
still at peace with Germany during
the last war.
Detailed in July, 1915, to shadow
DR.. Heinrich F. Albert, key man Of
the German organization in the
United States, Mr.. Burke seized a
brief case which DR.. Albert absent
mindedly left behind on a New
York elevated train. The case con-
| tained detailed information on Ger
man espionage activities in the
United States.
Captured Spy's Brief Case.
Frank J. Wilson, chief of Secret
Service, who praised Mr.. Burke on
his retirement for his "illustrious"
feat in capturing the brief case,
quoted DR.. Albert as saying in a
later biography that the loss OF the
brief case with the German secrets
had been "as big a loss as the loss
Of the battle Of the Marne."
The briefcase seizure, as told by
Assistant Chief Joseph E. Murphy,
happened like this:
In July, 1915, Mr.. Burke and a
fellow agent were on the elevated
train shadowing George Sylvester
Viereck, who was travelling with an
unidentified man carrying q we'll
| packed brief case. The difference
Viereck was paying his companion
led the Secret Service men to be-
lieve that he was a person of i'm
portance.
Several scars on the face of the
man brought to Mr.. Burke's mind
the description of DR.. Albert he
| had received orders to locate. Viereck
got of the train and was followed by
the. other operative. Meanwhile,
DR.. Albert. busy reading a book, al
most forgot to change cars for his
| home. Asking the guard to hold
the train. he rushed for the exit,
leaving his briefcase by the seat.
Wholesale Plotting Barred.
A young woman called out to him.
but DR.. Albert had difficulty in re-
entering because Of stout woman
in the doorway This gave Mr..
Burke time to get the briefcase and
he was able to elude DR.. Albert.
Examination OF the briefcase re-
vealed plans to mold public opinion
in this country through the buying
of newspapers, fomenting strikes
to slow up the flow of munitions to
Britain and France. and financing
motion pictures favorable to Ger
many.
At the time of his retirement,
President Roosevelt inscribed an en-
graved portrait Of himself to- Mr..
Burke. with the inscription, From
your friend, Franklin Delano Roose-
| welt"
Mr.. Murphy said OF him: THE
Government owes more to him than
TO any other one man In the service
FOR the work he did in combating
spies. both In the Spanish American
War and In World War l."
