U.K. Crime Doesn't Pay Without Intelligence By ALAN WALKER LONDON (CP) -- Perhaps crime does pay. ; The old adage that insists criminals get caught is being|university graduates among disproved every day in Britain. Despite police zeal, statistics show intelligent criminals have a good chance to get off scot free. If you do a robbery in London the odds are more than 3 to 1 that you won't be caught and yoy For housebreaking it about 6 to 1, and for stealing from a car more than 10 to 1. The figures were given by Lord Gardiner in a debate in the House of Lords. « He meant small-time crimes such as the suburban smash- and-grab or the lifting of tran- sistor radios from cars. Per- sons likely to be attracted to this form of profiteering read the statistics that the home of- fice obligingly publishes each year. Now Britons, whether crooked or straight, like few things bet- ter than a bet. The dishonest ones note that the conviction fate for indictable offences has fallen severely in recent years. They note that there are fewer police. And so they steal. Obviously thy don't intend to get caught, but if they are cap- tured from time to time, a few months in jail is often consid- ered a small price to pay for several years of easy gain. BIG PLOTS HATCHED Meanwhile the face of British crime is changing, as more pro- fessional crooks join forces and plan large-scale heists such as last August's great train rob- bery in which more than £2,600+ vanguard of @ 1@-man raid on a jewelry shop. "We are getting to the point where I suspect there are more criminals than among the po- lice,' Lord Gardiner said. Sir Joseph Simpson, head of London's metropolitan police, recently said there is.a growing feeling among his 18,000 - man force that the odds are against them, His annual report this year was pessimistic in the ex- treme. Firearms are steadily becom- ing more popular with crim- inals. All the traditions and prin- ciples of British police officers call for them to eschew guns but now that criminals show increas- ingly less respect for officers; some observers feel British po- lice may soon be forced to carry arms. Crimes of violence have in- creased by more than 500 per cent since the end of the Second World War. Lord Gardiner said plaintivly: 'It may begin to look as if the forces of evil are some day going to get the better of, and become stronger than, the forces of law and order." Calls for stiffer prison sen- tences and a return to the lash are often heard. However, most sociologists and criminologists disagree and say it is the low conviction rate that encourages crime. More convictions would deter criminals but harsher pun- ishments would not. So the problem is tossed back to the police. | Only six of 125 police forces in England and Wales are up to full. strength. In London 31 sta- tions are closed at night because 000 was stolen. Several men were tried and convicted for)them. their part but many policemen think the chief organizers are still loose. Comparatively little of the loot was recovered. Criminals even look more so- phisticated. A Powerful, sleek car filled with dark-garbed gen- tlemen wearing bowler hats and carrying furled umbrellas may suddenly reveal itself as the there are too few men to run Says Lord Gardiner: | "So long as we have this pas- |sionate belief that all you need |to stop crime is to hang people, |flog them, or send them to |prison, the damage we do is to |close our eyes to something we |could -be doing--step up the con- |viction rate by letting us have an increased police force to 'meet this increase in crime." Viet Cong Elusive Officer States By MALCOLM W. BROWNE SAIGON (AP) -- 'We trap them every day, we clean out their bases, we beat them again and again, but they keep com- ing back for more, stronger than ever. I just don't under- stand it." The speaker was a mud-spat- tered American officer, just back from a field operation with a Vietnamese unit. He was talk- ing about the strange and elu- sive enemy, the. Viet Cong. The side with the most troops) and fire-power is often the los- ing side. U.S. military men who served in both the Second World War and in Korea say almost none of their experience has been applicable here. They are try- ing to find out what makes this new breed of enemy tick, But offiicals agree they still have a lot to learn. Tronically, the enemy has been publishing handbooks on this kind of war for two genera- tions'and the war in South Viet Nam is going "by the. book."

Manuals on Communist mili- tary know-how began to take form a half century ago under Lenin's signature. As "socialist revolution" moved into the Far East, a new name emerged-- Mao Tze-tung.
