Daring Thieves
Get STA Million
Stamps in Dublin

DUBLIN, Ireland, May 9
(AP).-Police took up watch on
all sea and air ports in Ireland
today in a search for daring
thieves who broke into an Irish
auction room and got away
with rare stamps worth $l.4
million.
The theft was discovered this
morning by a cleaner at Chana-
hans, a stamp auction firm in
Dublin. Raiders had cut their
way through the iron bars Of q
ground-foor window and
drilled holes in filing cabinets
where part Of the fabulous
stamp collection Of Maurice
Burrus, Swiss tobacco king,
was kept.
The stamps were on public
view yesterday and were to
have been sold at auction to-
day. The thieves missed an
other half million pounds
worth of stamps from the coll
lection which were locked up
elsewhere.
DR.. Paul Singer, manager Of
the auction firm, said all the
stolen stamps are listed and
well known and "the burglars
will, therefore, not benefit
from the theft"
The Burrus' collection was
bought by the auction firm
only last week for an estimated
$40 million. A large part Of
the collection is still in Switzer-
land.
