One Safe Recovered Springfield police are taking a close look at a safe recovered after a burglary at the South- Power Administration sometime during the weekend But they don't expect to recover another safe stolen from the Hamburger Inn.

The lA-by 2-foot safe "probably was tossed off a bridge or something," Detective Gene Wheeler commented this morning. The SPA office at Battlefield and Golden were entered sometime between Christmas Eve and 4:25 a.m. yesterday when an officer discovered a door pane broken. The safe, which contained $75 in cash and some books and receipts, was found shortly be fore 9 a.m., abandoned beside a road north Of Greenlawn Ceme tery, by Gus Stokes, 2860 Roch- elle. Some papers were still inside, but the money had been removed after the thieves knocked off a combination lock.

The smaller safe taken from the Hamburger Inn, 434 South Jefferson, contained $60 in change. The thieves also took 70 cents from vending machines, 11 cartons of cigarettes, six T-bone steaks and two boxes of cigars, all valued at about $90. Burglars made a determined, but unsuccessful, effort to enter the Lawson Jewelry Store on Park Central Square early yesterday, but had to settle for a storage room of the Fox Theater. Officers said the intruders climbed a fire escape on the theater, adjacent to the store, and pried open a door to the theater. They also forced a door to the manager's office but took noth ing from the room.

Prying entry to a storage closet, they removed boxes of candy from shelves, took out the shelves and ripped paneling and insulation from the wall, which resisted their efforts to gain entry to the jewelry shop. In other thefts reported to po lice yesterday: W. R. Baldwin said a box containing 104 spark plugs was sto len by someone who removed the lock from a trailer at Ler Way Freight Lines, 334 North Nettleton; W. G.

Ivie, custodian at St. Paul Methodist Church, 413 East Walnut, told officers in truders shoved cardboard from door pane broken in a pre vious burglary, and took a typewriter from an office, and I. D. Middlcbusher reported a $200 tape recorder, $200 typewriter, $45 briefcase and an electric clothes brush were stolen from an office at South Side Baptist Church, 465 South Grant.

Precipitstion probabilliies are expected to remain quite low well into the week. The colder air had edged into the extreme northern fringes ol the Oiarko this morning and was expected to drift on Into Arkansas and Oklahoma.
