give her sedatives. 1--we got to be here" she
said, and said it over and over and over -.
"be here when he comes back. !" But the Burkes
knew without being told.
The polish Of professional crime showed in
several ways. On that the various police
agencies agreed - and BY Saturday morning
everybody was in on it. The police Of the
villages and cities Of Westchester and Putnam
counties were in on il. and the sherifis Of the
counties, and the New York City police and
the F.B.I. And, Of course. the New York
State police, with whom il began. They all
agreed the crime was professional, and prob
ably the work Of city professionals. since pro-
fessionals are, for the most part, city men.
There was the deftness Of the kidnapping
ITSELF Il was not by chance that car had
waited At just the right time, just the right
distance along the lane, for Rodney Burke.
The car had pulled to the soft shoulder Of
the narrow lane and left tire tTacks.) II was
not BY chance that the boy was the son. and
the only son, Of people with the money the
Burkes had. or that their house, and the lane
leading toward il, were isolated in the town
Of Van Brunt, near the Hudson.
% was not by chance that the letter
which came in Saturdays mail was typed new
typewriter, almost without idiosyncrasies) on
white paper one could buy anywhere, or that
there were no finserprints to guide, except
those Of postal clerks on the envelope. The
letter had been mailed in midtown Manhattan.
The letter read:
Price Is hundred thousand. Raise II by
Monday and you will be told what to do. It
will be tough for the boy il you get new bills,
or big ones"
All planned, the police thought - shrewdly
planned, with no amateurs involved. Ruth
lessly planned. They'll kill him, Captain Heinz
rich thought, one man in thousands hunting
a stolen child - hunting with nothing much
to 90 on, and nothing much to hope for. and
haunted by the memory Of a woman whose
eyes looked and looked, and saw nothing.
Probably dead already, Heinrich thought. on
Saturday afternoon, as he followed . lead
which would take him nowhere.
They had. after some thought, decided to let
the newspapers have it. Professionals would
know already that the police were in Il; the
ouiermost filaments Of the web they lived in
would have quivered that news to the center.
IL enough people heard about Il. somebody
might see something. remember something.
Many did. Of course. Leads came from every
where. Rodney Burke. age ten, fair hair.
blue eyes, eighty-fcur pounds. was everywhere.

doubted that. A car had been used; probably
still was being used. But they checked every
thing, since anything was possible.)
A boy (surely Rod) had been seen running
along sidewalk in Mt. Kisco. They found
the boy. who had been going to the grocery
for his mother, and running because he wanted

drove down q long, rough driveway toward
house secluded in the woods. He drove down
the drive because somebody had seen a car
drive down il earlier, and somebody was quite
sure the people who owned the house were in
Europe. They were going on as little as that.
The house, when Heinrich came to it. was
q rather large house "a house which had
accumulated lareeness over years. II was set
in green cup Of lawn, with woods edging it.
There was a car, with city license plates.

stopped close behind the city car and got out.
and as he got out q man came to the door Of
the house, and then onto the fagstones.
He was young man in polo shirt and
slacks "a pleasant-looking young man. who
smiled at Heinrich pleasantly. Heinrich told
him about Rodney Burke and the smile van
ished and the man swore. He said that kid
naping was the dirtiest business there was.
''Yes," Heinrich said. This IS your house.

looking everywhere, naturally. You've been

He paused: Got friends coming up later"
he said. and then, you want to look? Come

there, Heinrich said. But it would be time
wasted, as the morning had been time wasted.
and now half the afternoon.
It was. They went together from room to
room - went together into the attic and the
basement, looked in bedrooms and kitchen
and in three shining bathrooms. Mice place"
Baxter said. as they came into the living room,

I'm every community in the ma
ton during the last two weeks of
November, thousands and thous-
ands of volunteers will March"
to raise funds for the research
which spells Life and Hope for
Harold and all other victims of
Muscular Dystrophy. That is why
from the bottom of my heart, l
appeal to everyone in Delaware to
give as generously as they can
to the MDAA volunteers who ring
your doorbell during the drive,
and also send a contribution to
the campaign treasurer in your
locality if you have been chosen
for the mailing list. BY your gift
you are giving hope of life itself
to Harold. You are giving to save
youngsters not yet born, from
helplessness and early death.
There is no better way to cele-
brate Thanksgiving"

DRIVE TO HELP
OUR CHILDREN
Delaware's MDAA Members
Are Devoted to Cause for
Muscular Dystrophy
MARCH TO RAISE FUNDS

Harold lives in Dover, Della
ware. Harold is not greatly differ
ent from the many hundreds of
other youngsters who live in the
same region, except that Harold
had muscular dystrophy.
Look at the wheelchair Harold
is using. At first glance, many
people would say: "The child
looks cheerful. He is surrounded
with his loved ones, his grand
mother, Mrs. Harvey Jarrald
Qeft); his mother, Mrs. Willis
Hutchins, tat school in Dover,
Harold mas 13-year old, healthy
sister, and his daddy, at work,
could not be in the picture) are
all very devoted to Harold. Be
hind him are Mrs. Nettie Ziegler,
acting state chairman; Gov. ].
Caleb Boggs, honorary state cam
paign chairman; and Mrs. Char
lotte Fountain, census chairman,
only three of Delaware's MDtAA
members who are devoted to the
cause for muscular dystrophy, and
the wheelchair must be help,
so everything's all right" But ap-
pearances don't tell the whole
story, and everything isn't all
right. Far from it.
Gov. Boggs tells us that Har-

old's parents have told him they
have never heard Harold say, at
wish I could walk" But we sus-
pect ne really hates that wheel
chair. To him, the device means
just one thing-that he can't
walk, run, swim, skip rope, as
all of his friends do. AS Gov.
Boggs has said so many times:
IF you live in the State of Della
ware your personal safety has
been my chief concern night and
day for many years. Unfortunate
ly, there are some things 1 can't
protect you from, muscular dys-
trophy is one of them because it
can strike anyone, anywhere, at
any age and at any time. Nobody
knows the cause and there is no
known cure for it. The saddest
part is most of the MD victims
are youngsters deprived of a
normal childhood who may never
grow up" In speaking of Harold
(his little friend, he calls him) i,
Gov. Boggs said, Harold lives on
Dupont Road, Dover, is Is years
old, but he had been a victim of
MD since the age of three and
there is nothing anybody in Del
aware, or any other place could
do to prevent it. I've seen Harold
sitting in his wheelchair outside
his home looking wistfully at the
other kids running, jumping, and
playing games the way kids have
a right to do. It's really heart
breaking. Harold will never walk
again and he is going to get more
and more helpless as time goes by
unless a cure is found soon. When
I talk with him, I can't help
thinking that if more people knew
about muscular dystrophy they
