DARING THEFT OF US FEDERAL BANKNOTES $160,000 Worth Replaced By Dummy Packages

Washington, Jan..4... A daring thief apparently stole $160,000 in new $20 bills from the leavily-guarded Bureau of Printing and Engraving here while security precautions were relaxed for the Christmas holidays, it was disclosed today.

H. J. Holtzclaw, associate Director of the Bureau which prints the nation's paper money, revealed that the $160,000-in two packets of 4,000 $20 bills each- had been replaced by two "dummy" packages containing blank paper.
