The system has been worked
out so that if any policeman for
gets to call a number he will be
called by the party he should have
called. In ten minutes state police
headquarters will have report

THE day of pursuing bandits is
over" says Mr.. Feeney. If robbers
have a fast car, and a few min

police hope to overtake them?
Il propose a plan for syStema-

together with as little duplication
of effort as possible. The point
is to surround the bandits. This
can be done by spreading in
