Three Men Arrested
After Police Discover
Stolen Safe in Street

Three white men who, police be-
lieve, had stolen and then lost a
500-pound safe, were arrested early
today near a closed filling station at
Eighth and M streets NV.
According to police the men were
driving a car repeatedly stolen from
Sadie Shimeal, 1913 Nineteenth
street Sc, some time yesterday.
The three men, two of them 26
and the other 81, are being ques-
toned in connection with five other
recent safe robberies. No charges
have been lodged against them.
Safeway Store Robbed.
The safe, containing 1897, was
stolen from a Safewey Store in the
1400 block of Seventh street NV
last night, according to Detective
1t. Aubrey M. Tolson. 1t. Tolson
said apparently two of the men en-
tered the store by saving of the
bars over skylight. They knocked
off the knob of the safe, 1t. Tolson
said, but were unable to open it.
The thieves are believed to have
carried the safe to the rear COM
partment of the stolen car. At
Sherman avenue and Park road
NV. it fell into the street. 1t was
found shortly afterward by police
of No. 10 precinct station, a short
distance away. a.ss
At about the time the safe was
discovered, two colored policemen
Shirley F., O'Neill and Jesse John-
son, noticed the three men at the
filling station. The policemen ar
rested the men when they failed
to give a satisfactory account OF
themselves.
Three Arrested Before.
Detective Sergt. Irving Lubore
questioned the men and linked them
to the theft, police said. The stolen
car, according to police, bore marks
indicating the safe had been trans
ported in it.
1t. Tolson said the three men had
been arrested during roundup
last summer of gang charged with
18 housebreakings and safe rob-
berries, but had been released for
lack of evidence. Several others
were imprisoned for the thefts.
Among the recent robberies about
which the three men are being
questioned, police said, was the theft
Of safe containing $4,000 in War
Bonds and $1,000 in cash from the
Highland Theater, 1888 Pennsyl-
vania avenue Sc. In two other rob-
berries the safes have not yet been
recovered. One was rolled half q
block from a drugstore, and the
other was brought up to street level
by a sidewalk elevator at a restau-
rant near Union Station, police said
1t. Tolson said the 26-year-old
men admitted their connection with
today's robbery but the older man

Civil Service
Status Restored
To Thousands
Those Who Returned
For War Work Get
Job Permoneney
By JOSEPH YOUNG.

Thousands of Government en-
ployes who quit their jobs before
the war began but who returned to
Federal service during the last few
years as war service appointees,
were restored to permanent status
by a Civil Service Commission rul-
ing today.
The commission authorized all
Federal agencies to give permanent
appointments to these workers, who,
at one time or another were Gov
ernment employees. When the war
emergency arose, thousands of
these former Federal employees re-
entered the Governmnt, but were
given war service jobs only, the
same as all other workers hired dur
ing the war.
The order opens the way for most
of these employees to retain their
jobs permanently since they will be
placed in the group A retention

cred for dismissals only after all
war service employees lose their jobs.

ers returned to aid the war effort
and now are desirous of staying in
Federal service. Others, who resigned
from Government posts to take jobs
in private industry, reconsidered
later and got another chance for a
Federal job when the war emergency
arose, it was said.
Each permanent appointment will
be subject to commission approval.
The appointment will be considered
permanent until the commission
rules otherwise.
/ May Be Listed Quickly.
In another order, the commission
ruled that members of the armed
forces who have passed civil service
examinations may be placed or
eligibility lists before they leave mil
itary service. Previously this action
could not be taken until the appli-
can't was discharged from military
service.
In these cases, five points prefer
ence for military service will be
added to their ratings and their
names will be certified to Govern
ment agencies for hiring This is
expected to facilitate by weeks the
