The board informed the Delaware Compensation Rating Bureau in Philadelphia, which requested the increase last December for its member insurance companies, that it was denying the request for rate revisions. On the basis of a report from an independent New York City actuarial company, the board said it doesn't feel the request is justified.

THE increase was to go into effct March 1 but the effective date was postponed until April 1 to allow the board and the state insurance commissioner additional time to study the request. The proposal would have cost Delaware employers an estimated $770,000 a year in increased premiums. Workmen's compensation is a system of payment for job-connected injuries or deaths.

gave police these details of the holdup: He was sitting at a desk writing a letter when two men walked in. The taller of the two pulled a gun and told him, "Sit down or I'll kill you. Give me all the money you have and any that's lying around." Cassidy said he gave the bandits the money from his pocket and from a metal cash box which he was directed to unlock. He said the men then walked away toward Chelsea Estates. Cassidy said both men were white and about 19 or 20 years old.

The taller and armed of the two was about 5 feet 11 inches in height, weighed 175 pounds and was wearing a white shirt and dark trousers, he said. Cassidy said he couldn't provide a good description of the other bandit because he stood behind his gun-toting companion.
