Newspaper Thieves

There are thieves in Tulsa who
probably do not realize they are
thieves.
They steal newspapers. Per-
haps steal Is "A harsh word to
use. for many well-meanins but
thotless persons commit the Of
fense.
To take another mans news
paper. when that man is paying
for II and you are not. Is theft,
just as much as purloining an
other mans purse.
Tenants in the Calais building
are among those who complain
that their Worlds are being
stolen.
Someone in another office
grabs my World as they come by
my door. and when | get down
have no morning paper" said
one man yesterday. ~ don't want
to have anyone arrested. but
maybe IL you would call II to
these persons attention that they
are violating the law and doing
your subscribers an injustice It
would do some good"
Unless the practice ceases The
World will place detectives in the
office buildings and anyone
caught taking paper that does
not belong to him will be ar
rested. regardless OF his Identity.
