Baltimore Theft
of Mink Likened
|ToLOOting Here

Baltimore and District police
were comparing notes today on
a 100000 fur robbery yesterday
in the former city that followed
the pattern of a $4,000 footing
of a Washington fur shop last
August "a.
In both cases, the thieves took
only mink, ignoring sable, chin
chilla and other furs. Both
stores were entered by burglars
who hammered through walls
and carefully by-passed burglar
alarm systems.
Detectives believe both Jobs
were the work of a professional
gang that has been operating
along the East Coast.

North Charles street was the
largest fur theft in the city's
history. David Silverman, one
of the owners, said 100 pieces
were taken, including coats,
stoles and capes.
Thirty coats valued up to
$500 each were among the
items taken, Mr.. Silverman said.
Left on racks were furs with
price tags marked $1,000 and
$1,000.
The Baltimore burglars
smashed the lock of a steel door,
hammered through two walls
and worked their way through
an elaborate burglar alarm sys-
tenn to get at the loot.
Big Haul Here
Jandel has a Washington fur
shop at 1412 F street NV.
The August theft in Washing
ton was from William Rosendorf
Furs, 1213-1215 G street NV.
That haul was the biggest fur
theft in the memory of detectives
here.
The thieves broke into the rear
door Of vacant store next door
to the fur shop not connected to
IA burglar alarm system. They
hacked a hole into the fur shop
and took every mink in sight.

However, Controller General
Joseph Campbell said in his de-
cision that the General Account
ing ONCE did not intend to i'm
ply that a home actually must be
Iquarantined by the health au-
thorities before sick leave could
be granted to an employee who is

disease"
SECURITY DISMISSALS-
The Controller General, in an
other decision. ruled that en-
ployes restored to duty after
having been improperly dis
missed for security reasons are
not entitled to any pay raises
or within-grade increase
granted in the interim.
The decision said the en-
lployees are entitled, on restora-
ton. to the pay they were draw
| ing at the time of their dis
missal. but no more.
| The decision involves Federal
workers in non-Sensitive jobs
who were restored to their posi-
tons as a result Of the Supreme
Courts decision that the security
program did not apply to nom
sensitive jobs.
In test case, the Post Office
Department asked if their re-
stored employees might not have
the benefit of last years raise as
well as longevity step raises. But
the Controller General ruled this
was not allowed by present law
ILLEGAL PROMOTIONS-Ir

General held that an employee
