and his associates hid heroin
and large amounts Of morphine

InterpoI Fears Crimes
ByT Todoy's DeIinquents

United Nations on their juve-
nile delinquency studies.
In other action yesterday, the
Interpol general assembly con-
sidered a report on the illicit
drug traffic throughout the
world during 1858 and 1859 and
discussed a proposed world con-
vention on narcotics that the
United Nations is attempting
to write.
The proposed convention is
a treaty that would define the
conditions under which illicit
drug traffic would be punished
in all nations, as well as meas
ureS to be taken to seek out
and arrest International dope
smugglers.
Mr.. Aube said the writing of
the proposed convention has
been underway for more than
10 years. The third draft of
a uniform narcotics law for all
U. N. countries win be consider
ed again in 1861, he said.
The general assembly named
two special committees to
study the general problem of
Illicit narcotics traffic in the
world and the special problems
Of policing International air
travel to reduce narcotic
smuggling by air.
The group. also discussed a
proposed uniform law for ex-
tradition that would be bind
ing on all nations associated
with Interpol.
According to Mr.. Aube, IS
European nations have agreed
to a uniform extradition law.
However, the other nations as
sociated with Interpol have
been unable to reach agree
ment on a uniform extradi-
ton treaty because of the
basic differences in their civil
and criminal codes.
The Interpol convention will
continue through Saturday.
This is the first time the inter-
national police organization
has met in the United States.

Today's juvenile delinquent is
tomorrow's international crimi-
nal, delegates to the Interpol
general assembly meeting here
have been told.
In fact, some of today's ju-
venile delinquents aren't even
waiting until tomorrow. They
are becoming international
criminals today.
Juvenile delinquents are
turning to international crimes
in alarming numbers, said
Lucien Aube of the Interpol
headquarters staff in Paris.
That's why Interpol-the In
ternational Criminal Police Or
ganization-is concerning itself
with something that UP to now
has been considered a local
problem.
A French delegate to the In
terpol meeting told the group
yesterday that juvenile delin-
quents in his country have
more than doubled in the last
year.
Each one, according to Mr..
Aube, is a potential interna-
tional criminal.
He said the usual pattern is
for the juvenile delinquent to
commit an armed attack-even
murder-on q person and then
flee across the border to an
other country, thereby becom-
ing classified as an internation-
al criminal.
From there they begin to
widen their scope" he added.
This would include involve
ment in such crimes as snug
Cling Of Illicit goods, perhaps
even narcotics, embezzling,
counterfeiting and other serious
crimes.
According to Mr.. Aube, Inter
pol considers the increased jul
venile delinquency rate very
serious" and is. cooperating

A Frenchman, arrested with

Dulles Sewer Tunnel
Urged by Park Chief

airport at Chantilly, Va, and
adjacent areas.
Congress granted $3.50 mil
lion for construction Of the
sewer with the money to be
paid back on a user basis over
the years.
Mr.. Wirth noted that the
emile tunnel along the Poto-
mac gorge probably would make
the construction cost 60 high
er. but he believes the money
will be made available if needed.
I'VE already have about $l4
million in parklandS and park
ways invested in the Potomac
gorge" Mr.. Wirth said, "and I
think these are values that
should be protected"
He said many trees would
have to come down to make
room for the open ditch for the
9-foot interceptor line. Further
disturbance would be made to
the river front by construction
of the cut. There would be
much less" of such disturb
ance. he said, if a tunnel was
used instead.

The head Of the National

would prefer putting the Dulles
International Airport sewer
line in q tunnel along the Po-

Conrad L. Wirth. director of

A bold. armed bandit walked
briskly into a branch bank min
utes before closing time yester-
day. handed an official a bag,
waited until 1t was filled with
$12.400 and strobe calmly out.
His daring caused barely a
ripple in the usual busy Friday
night crowd Of shoppers at the
Village Shopping Center, where
the Bank of Virginia branch is
located in West Richmond.
Witnesses said the bandit
wore a black mask, a dark hat
pulled low on his forehead, a
light-colored overcoat and white
rubber gloves.
Mask Is Found
An FBI spokesman said a
black mask was found in the
rear parking lot about an hour
after the robbery, which oc-
Cured Just before 6 pm.
Three customers and six en-
ployes were in the bank when
he entered. Not more than S
minutes later. he ran through
an arcade that adjoins the
bank. the bag tucked under his
arm. and disappeared in the
parking lot.
Assistant branch manager
Charles R. Garnett, jr., "a, said
he heard someone say some
thing behind him, turned
around and this man pointed
a gun at me and said, This is a
holdup.' He handed me a white
bag and told me to fill it up.
II opened the door and
walked into the tellers' area.
I skipped the first teller and
started taking money from the
cash drawers.
II got to the third teller and
I asked the man If he wanted
the coin. He said, No, skip
that; just hurry it up

secrecy question was brought
up.
But the effect Of this action
was merely to postpone debate
until further consideration
could be given to this proposal.
1t will therefore be up for a
vote again Tuesday night, with
the backing Of the associa-
tion's board Of directors.
The second measure also
calls for keeping the secrecy
provision, but it requires that
appointments to the committee
lin this case made up Of only
four members-must be ap-
proved by several association
section .chairmen. after they
are named by the president.
The third proposal would
transfer the functions Of the
Judicial Selections Committee
to the association board Of di-
rectors.
1t neither calls for inform
ing the membership of the rec
concentrations, nor requires
that they be kept secret. I.
However, by giving the asso-
citation board the job Of making
judgeship recommendations,
this last proposal provides the
strongest check by the general
membership on who is on the
judicial selections group. All
members Of the board are elec-
ted each year, rather than be-
ing appointed.
There is a strong bloc in the
organization which objects to
any secrecy on the recommend

His wife. Pamela Hansford
johnson Snow, reviewed as a
critic her husbands novels be-
fore they met. She was i'm
pressed.
These and other glimpses of
England's well-known hus-
band-wife writing team were
picked up yesterday as the two
arrived for one stop on q lec-
ture tour in this country. They
survived a press conference
and then went on to stage q
lecture at the Lisner Audi
torium on the Institute Of Con-
temporary Arts program.
Sir Charles Percy Snow was
a scientist before he wrote his
first novel. a detective story.
He was also a fellow at Cam
bridge University and one of
England's five civil service
commissioners during the war.
Embracing both a science
and literary career isn't quite
as dramatic as its sounds" he
said.
But there is a division be-
tween the scientific culture"
and the traditional culture"
led by literary intellecuals,"
he feels. This is of great con-
Germ to Sir Charles, and last
year he wrote of a fervent
necessity to bridge this gap.
He said the answer lies in
being more sensible about
basic education"
Il must say" he reported
yesterday, "the United States
is much better about combin-
ing the two than Britain or
Russia. You are very mas
ochistic about criticizing parts
Of your education"
He said our colleges were
less specialized than England's
and in criticizing our high
schools he said the fault was
in teaching a little too much
of everything. 1T isn't the
spread" he said. but the
rigor" of teaching and study
ing that is lacking"
Russia, he added, "is more
rigorous than you. much less
specialized than u.s."

Under present practice the
