through it until she found her

open pocketbook on her desk, she
hurried down the hall to repair

1t took perhaps five minutes for
her to carefully comb her hair
and apply lipstick.
It took about a fifth of that

the empty Office, stick the pock-
etbook under his coat and saunter
unsuSpiciously to the elevator.
The loss was an unnecessary
one. The theft never would have

residents about $100,000 a year.
| Louis v. Milici, chief safety and
protection officer here for the Pub
lie Buildings Services of the Cen
eral Services Administration, eSti-
mates 60 per cent of the larcenies
investigated by his staff are the
result Of carelessness, and could
be eliminated if Government
workers would follow few simple
rules Of caution.
He advises:
l. Women should keep their
purses with them whenever pos
sible. Otherwise, purses should be
kept in a locked file case or desk
drawer. II a drawer with lock
is unavailable, place the purse in
an envelope and hide it.
2. Keep the telephone number
of the guard Office in a readily
available place, and telephone a
guard whenever stranger acting
suspiciously is noticed.
3. Avoid mentioning large sums
of money you may have in your
possession.
4. Do not hang coats near
doors. Do not leave valuables
in coat pockets.
5. When you wash your hands,
put rings and wristwatches in
your pocket. Don't leave them
on drainboards or shells where
they can be forgotten and stolen.
Habit, as well as carelessness,
can be dangerous, too, Govern
|ment investigators report.
Experience shows women usually
put their purses in the largest
drawer on the right side of the
desk. This is where the sneak
theft always looks first. If this
check, which takes but second,
is unsuccessful, the thief looks
in the typewriter well. If nothing
lis found there, he usually is too
afraid of discovery to look further.
Mr.. Milici says rs per cent of
the Office thieves apprehended are
outsiders. Many are dope addictS,
who have to steal to supply their

which they can scoop up in a

Once 80 Per Cent.
There was a period following
1878 when the United States car
ried so per cent of the National
Capital burden. This was changed
in 1921 to 40 per cent, with the
city assuming the major share.
This remained the law until 1898,
but from 1925 on 1t was evaded
by the adoption by Congress of
arbitrarily fixed lump sum pay
mentS.
Since then new basic law has
been written to fix the lump sum
at $6 million, then So million and
finally. in 1947, at $12 million.
Back in the 1930s, it is recalled,
District Appropriation Chairman
Blanton chopped away at city
budgets and fought for drastic
reductions in the Federal payment
with partial success.
And, during the post-depression
years, the District got a free
grant" from the Public Works
Administration for nearly 50 mil
lion for sewers projects.
1t soon found. however. that
this was not a gift but an advance
of which the city would have to
repay 10 per cent-and it did.
At the same time. a depression
cut of Is per cent in the salaries
of city workers was lifted. The
two developments, along with
other city finance changes. caused
a boost of about SIS million in
District costa size important
in those days.
Between these two years the
relative size of the Federal pay
ment-then at its lowest cash level
decreased from 1919 per cent to
1911 per cent.
Keeps on Decreasing. i
The Dig but Inflated business
privilege tax was adopted in 1887.
That same year the Federal share
remained about the same as to
dollars, bit over IS million, but
it decreased somewhat in per-
centage.
With other changes, the per-
centage rose slightly but in follow
ing years the downward trend was
resumed.
There was a big increase in Dis
trict taxes in 1947, along with an
increase in the Federal payment
from $6 million to So million.
The next year, District revenues
literally leaped with a huge boost
in taxes and an increase from So
million to $11 million in the Fed
eral payment. This raised tempo
rarily the Federal share to 1875
per cent on the general fund. But
this didn't last long and the bur-
den on Uncle Sam has been sharply
falling since then, and now is at
the all time low of 8.43 if the
House wins the argument.

ipany.
If the Office is empty, it is but
moments work to take valuables
on desk tops, check the unlocked
desk drawers or lift an overcoat
from a coat rack.
The confession of one suspect
Ioftens clears up as many as so or
so office thefs. Capt. Tolson says.
Security officers agree a thief
usually will work one building or
area at time. pillaging several
Offices before moving to new To-
cation. This makes it doubly in
cumbent on employees to report
suspicious persons lurking about
after nearby Office has reported
a robbery.
Capt. Tolson points out it is
practically impossible to catch an
office thief. This puts the prob
lem of protection against them
squarely up to Office workers
themselves.
Those that are caught are
usually picked up after a keen
eyed employe Identifies a face in
the police rogue's gallery as a per-
son seen lurking in the vicinity of
an Office robbery. Others are
caught when they try to sell stolen
property. but this is most difficult
since few persons keep an accu-
rate description of their valuables.
There always will be robber-
ies," Capt. Tolson comedies. But
a sneak thief is nothing but an
opportunist. He cannot take the
time to search. If articles in Of
fees are not displayed on desk
tops, or left in the usual places,
this type of criminal will be out
