LONDON, Dec. Is. - Scotland
Yard, moving swiftly in the wake of
q series Of unprecedented raids,
had clues tonight from 54 arrested
men which may solve many Of the
recent armed robberies, kidnapings
and other violent crimes in this
metropolis, authorities announced,
But London's crime wave was not
wiped out. Even as 5000 Scotland
Yard men and military police of
three nations struck, half dozen
new major offenses were reported
some within the Gordon which had
been thrown about the heart of
London.
The raiders hit suddenly last
night with a vast dragnet, under
the code name of Operation Drag
net. From all parts OF the city
from swank Mayfair 60 the back
alleys Of the Soho district-16,161
persons were brought in for uues-
tioning.
All day long there was q con-
stant procession in and out of po-
uoe eIatloIlS. MoSt OF those QueS-
tloned were persons who lacked
Identity cards when they were
halted.
One Of those brought in was an
AWOL American officer. Three
American enlisted men also were
apprehended by American authori-
ties for service violations,
The Evening Star complained of
"Gestapo" methods and said the
arrests were small result" It
hoped the authorities would not
make habit of violating the ira
dition of English life"
Tonight there was a noticeable
thinning out of idlers in Piccadilly
Circus, London's Times Square,
where the net had been drawn
tightest. Scotland Yard said it was
satisfied with the results.
The drive, police said, had been

aimed principally at 10000 Ameri-
can, British and Canadian army de-
serters who they believed were
hiding out in London. One news
paper estimated that 5000 military
policemen Of Canada, Britain and
the United States aided the police.
The dragnet swooped down with
military precision, blocking of main
arteries, halting pedestrians, cover
ing suspected places Of entertain
ment and subway entrances. Men
stationed at the back doors of many
places were rewarded with q large
net Of suspects.
Thirty jeeps in formation swept
up to one of London's largest dance
halls. As police entered, the 1000
patrons stopped their merrymaking
and were lined up against the wall
while police moved quietly among
them, questioning suspects.
During the afternoon an Raj
military police group on motorcycles
surrounded q football stadium and
questioned Raj personnel found
there.
At the height Of the checkup. four
burglars entered q store Just outside
the police Gordon. They hauled away
a safe containing $500.
