Cops Go Modern;
Crime Gets Tough
Private Eye Charlie Bond of San
Antonio has more electronic gadg
ets than Dick Tracy.
Bond, a speaker at the A&M
University’s 17th Industrial Plant
Security School, introduced an as
sortment of tape recorders, cam
eras, transmitters and other pieces
of “bugging” equipment.
The San Antonio attorney and
investigator admitted he had no
two-way wrist radio made famous
by the comic strip character. His
Water Men Study
Pollution Controls
A technical 40-hour course in
water pollution control is being
held here by the A&M University
Engineering Extension Service.
Leon R. Holbert, chief instructor
of the Water Utilities Training di
vision, said about 20 water super
intendents, chemists and engineers
from municipal and industrial
groups are attending.
The course, he said, provides
technical training for people who
supervise and operate was^e treat
ment plants. Forty credit hours
will be given by the Texas State
Department of Health toward cer
tification.
Classes on modern methods and
techniques of waste treatment are
being stressed throughout the
week-long school.
equipment did include a camera re
sembling a cigarette lighter.
With the miniature camera, Bond
taks 50 pictures without a refill—
and without the subject’s knowl
edge.
He displayed other tiny devices
used to record conversations, in
cluding one unit that fits inside a
cigarette package. The device will
pick up chit-chat a couple of blocks
away.
Another instrument strapped
around his shoulder underneath his
coat can transmit conversation to
a recorder some distance away.
Bond, a former assistant district
attorney, was a member of the
first industrial security school at
Texas A&M. He has attended sev
eral police schools, including the
A&M polygraph examiners course.
Johnson Wants
Buyer Public
In‘"Front Row ”
WASHINGTON <A>) — President
Johnson urged Congress to slap
new curbs on deceptive packaging
and to require disclosure of inter
est rates on installment purchases.
He also suggested a plan to help
city families figure out their budg
ets.
IN A SPECIAL MESSAGE
Wednesday on consumer problems,
Johnson said that “for far too long,
the consumer has had too little
voice and too little weight in gov
ernment.”
Declaring that the consumer
now occupies a back seat, he said:
“We cannot rest content until he
is in the front row.”
JOHNSON ENDORSED nine
specific pieces of legislation —
eight of them originally sponsored
or endorsed by the Kennedy ad
ministration.
The ninth proposal, new with
Johnson, would require inspection
of all meat and poultry sold in the
United States even though it does
not cross state lines.
Most of the new ideas advanced
by the President would involve
administrative rather than con
gressional action.
FOR EXAMPLE he announced
that all federal agencies having a
hand in consumer education will
“explore fully such possibilities as
the adapting of the extension serv
ice concept, so successful in rural
areas, to an urban setting.”
Such a move, if adopted, would
provide lower-income city families
“with information to help them get
the most for their money” and to
learn more about budget manage
ment.
