| tlie story goes. Is to put It mildly, i lint now the Yard has begun to s"e light. From the cm- which was wrecknd utter one of these raids, the detectives recovered the usual assortment of false number plates, and registration marks, but they also found under the buck seat of the car a wireless transmitting and receiving on fit that was even more powerful and up to date than those used by the flying squad Itself J’ is now, therefore, believed that ' th ft] ling of raiders listens in to the , ard's Ins ructions to the fly. J Ing squad and times their raids all the moment when the Scotland Yurd curs are most distant. It I-. I also thought that after the raid the .■alders "jam" the air to prevent directions for pursuit reaching the .lying squad, and also on occasion when things get too uncomfortably close, use the Yard's code to send out Instructions to throw their pursuers off the track. How the raiders secured, or worked out the Yard's code is one of a considerable number of questions about this gang that the Yard has yet to solve. —— ——o — ♦congress today * ♦ 0 Senate Considers tarin' bill.
