car descended on Silver Spring, Md,
about 2:30 o'clock this morning and
blew open the safe at the postoffice
carrying off 500 in cash and
stamps and other valuables worth
500. The combination was wrench
ed by an explosion from the front

ond door was blown from it's hinges

placed over the safe to deaden the
sound of the explosion.
A Waterman employed at a bank
nearby said today that he saw a

tains were drawn and he could not
say how many men were in the
