On October 1, 1962. George de Morenschildt and his wife, Jeanne, picked up Marina Oswald and daughter June, and headed for Farmers Branch, a suburb of Dallas, to spend the day at the home of Admiral Henry C. Burton, where they had access to a large swimming pool. Mrs. Burton offered and had invited de Morenschildt to use the pool whenever he liked. George drove to Farmers Branch almost every day that summer to swim in the pool.
Admiral Burton had been a lawyer before becoming a submarine commander. He eventually became the director of naval communications. "In this capacity he had undertaken to reorganize the global system which the Navy uses to communicate with and control the movements of all subs, surface ships, airplanes and missals and also to pinpoint the location of enemy vessels ." When he retired, he joined COLLINS RADIO in Richardson, Texas as Vice-President, where he continued to work on modernizing and refining the communication system." Although he professed to be an international entrepreneur, his actual business remained a mystery."
George had told the Admiral about Lee Oswald and tried to get Lee a job in the electronic field, but Burton refused to help.
That day, Burton was away on business in Europe for COLLINS RADIO.
Late in the afternoon, Oswald showed up , to the surprise of everyone and for a few tense minutes Lee sat there quietly. Then Mrs. Burton offered Lee a drink and tensions relaxed.

In Feb. 1977, Wes Wise, a reporter with KRLD TV in Dallas, and later mayor of that city, told the HSCA that he had information about a car near the scene of the Tippit shooting that was traced to Carl Mather, a close friend of Tippit's. Mather was interviewed and said that he had worked all day on the 22nd of November at his job at COLLINS RADIO CO. of Richardson, Texas. He said that he had been employed at COLLINS for 21 years. One assignment involved work in Brandywine, MD, at Andrews Air Force Base, where he did electronics work on then Vice-President Johnson's airplane, Air Force Two.
He said that he had left work at about 2 pm to take the family to the Tippit's home to offer their condolences. They stayed until about 5 pm when they took the Tippit children with them.
For complete details on explanation of why his car was seen , see OSWALD-TIPPIT ASSOCIATES, Staff Report , HSCA, March 1979.
The CIA spent a half million dollars a year on the REX, a reconditioned Navy patrol boat and used a phantom crew to patrol the Caribbean. They were paid $300 per month and had been recruited by a team of former Batista naval men working for the CIA.It's function was clandestine. The craft was leased to COLLINS RADIO of Texas for "electronic and oceanographic research". "COLLINS was a division of COLLINS RADIO of Cedar Rapids , IOWA, a major defense contractor that more than once provided cover for CIA operations. The Rex's dockage fees were paid by a third outfit called Sea Key Shipping Company, which operated out of a post office box.

Collins Radio and the CIA
Shortly after 2:00 PM, Mr. T. F. White observed a man sitting in a 1961 red Ford Falcon, with the engine running, in the El Chico parking lot behind his garage. This is five blocks north of the Texas Theater. As Mr. White approached the car, the driver turned and looked at him. The driver then sped off in a westerly direction on Davis Street. Mr. White, who later saw Oswald's picture on TV, said the man in the Falcon was identical to Oswald and wore a "white T-****rt." When told by the FBI that Oswald was in jail at 2:00 PM, White still maintained that the man he saw driving the red Falcon was "possibly identical" to the Oswald he had seen on TV after the assassination. This Oswald "sighting" shortly after Harvey Oswald's arrest at the Texas Theater could have been a case of mistaken identity. But Mr. White, who had been given police training, wrote down the vehicle's license plate number. The plates belonged to a blue 1957 Plymouth 4 door sedan-not a 1961 red Ford Falcon. The Plymouth belonged to Carl Mather, a long time employee of Collins Radio and close friend of J.D. Tippit. Newsman and former Dallas Mayor Wes Wise heard of the unusual Oswald sighting. Mr. Wise and fellow news reporter Jane Bartell questioned Mather about the incident over dinner. Mather was so nervous he could hardly talk and said little. In 1977 the HSCA wanted to interview Mather about this incident. He agreed, but not before he was granted immunity from prosecution by the Justice Department. Mather was interviewed by the HSCA, but most of the documents relating to that interview remain classified in the National Archives. Why?
One possible reason is Oswald's prior connection to Collins Radio and what Collins Radio actually represented. Oswald, in the company of George De Mohrenschildt, had once visited the home of retired Admiral Henry Bruton, who was an executive of Collins Radio. This was reported by the HSCA in a manuscript called "I'm A Patsy" by De Mohrenschildt. Bruton and his position with Collins is also mentioned in Edward Epstein's book Legend. Bruton had been a lawyer in Virginia before becoming a Navy intelligence officer. Bruton's specialty was electronic surveillance and this is what he was bringing to Collins Radio. In April of 1963, the Wall Street Journal announced that Collins would construct a modern radio communications system linking Laos, Thailand, and South Vietnam. On November 1, 1963, the New York Times reported that Fidel Castro had captured a large boat called the Rex which was being leased to Collins Radio at the time. The next day, one of the captured Cuban exiles aboard the Rex confessed that the boat had been used to ferry arms into Cuba and that "the CIA organized all arms shipments" (New York Times 11/3/63). According to Bill Kelly (Back Channels, Summer 1992), the Rex was the flagship of the JM/WAVE fleet, the CIA's super station in Miami. According to Kelly, Castro announced that the arms shipments were meant for an assassination attempt on top Cuban leaders. What a provocative scenario: five blocks from where Oswald was arrested we have an Oswald double in a car traced to Tippit's friend and the friend works for a CIA associated company that plays a role in the plots against Cuba and Castro.
