SURREPTITIOUS ENTRY

by Willis D. George ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 19, 1946

From Wall Street and selling airplanes to the U. S. Treasury, assigned to breaking up the alcohol, dope and smuggling rackets in Cuba. There under experts he learned the tricks of picking locks, cracking safes, the possibilities of dynamite, the long, careful preparation for surveillance and teamwork..... Expert in his job, he worked for Canada early in the war, got dope on Junkers aircraft, trailed doubtful diplomats and enemy agents here, continued his work in Bermuda, went to OSS school here, taught, and finally was sent to Germany to blow safes and microfilm documents.... A government agent tells his story of specialization in adventure and excitement in which crime can be countered by authorized but unrecognized crime. A unique career and the secrets of the trade, which should appeal to grown up Rover Boys.
