Crowder told police he worked two days and then left with cash, jewels and coins' valued at $1.5 million. , Police said owners were so impressed by Crowder’s know ledge of the business and sincer ity that they did not check his resume or references. “I did my homework. That’s all it took,” Crowder said. He was arraigned Saturday on two counts of theft over $20,000 and one count of burg lary with intent to commit theft. Bail was set at $750,000. His mother offered to try to raise the bail, but Crowder re fused the help. “I’ve already hurt those who love me enough,” said Crowder, a Dallas native. “I’m here (in jail) because that’s where I belong.” Crowder is a suspect in sever al other thefts from Dallas area businesses, including a theft of $10,000 in equipment from a camera store. He said he began getting into trouble about nine months ago, taking jobs under assumed names. “For a while, I had a tough time realizing what was right and wrong,” he said. “It just didn’t register that ‘this is crime.’” He said the publicity sur rounding the theft at One Safe Place surprised him. “I never even heard about the other crimes,” Crowder said. “But that one really made me feel guilty. Now I look back and ^wonder how I ever could have done it.” He said he went home late the night of the theft, a Friday, and spent the weekend with his wife and three children. His wife said on Monday she took him to the airport for what Crowder said was a business trip to Phoenix, Ariz. However, Crowder stayed in the Dallas area. Tuesday, he cal led a One Safe Place official to apologize and tell him that the stolen goods could be found in a suburban Dallas office building, where about $500,000 in valu ables were recovered. Crowder then flew to Las Vegas where police say he sc some of the stolen goods. “Las Vegas was the woi place I could have gone,” Cro der said. “People from Tex were everywhere — people w! could have seen my picture the paper. I kept expectii someone to come up and s; ‘Hi, don’t I know you?’” Crowder said he took a bus Los Angeles, but missed 1 family. So he returned to Dali Friday, called his wife and t Addison police and turned hii self in. Now Better Than Ever.

National health policy is no longer aimed at improved access to services. Dr. Anthony Rob ins said. “In response, a broad coali- ion of health groups organized to save existing programs,” he Tsaid. “Damage control has been the hallmark of health advocates for the first three years of the Reagan presidency.” Judged against Reagan admi nistration proposals, the “dam- |||age control” efforts have been . moderately successful. However, such efforts seem to have failed if one considers that the whole health agenda has shifted from one of health and people to one of dollars, com petition and business, he said. He urged delegates to the association’s 111th annual meet ing to provide a new agenda and outlined four targets of oppor tunity around which to build the program: disease eradication, primary care, long-term care financing and environmental nd occupational health. occupational and environmen tal health is where the produc tive part of our economy in teracts with the health of the people. “If integrated into national and local politics, this agenda could provide the pressures that create and demand progress.” In addition, he said the cost of preventing the most common and most costly causes of death, disease and disability is very small compared to what Amer icans spend on medical care to treat those problems. Issues on the agenda at the meeting, which continues through Thursday, include Ac quired Immune Deficiency Syn drome, vasectomy and the con traceptive sponge. HONGKONG RESTAURANT ^ M Special.
