TELEVISION CAMERAS HELP CRIME DETECTION.—A photograph taken in a London police station during a recent experiment in the use of close-circuit television to aid crime prevention. Cameras mounted on high buildings scan main shopping streets and car parks over an area of about four square miles. They are operated from a central monitor unit by two officers, who are also in contact with police patrolling the area. If the cameras pick out anything suspicious, police are directed to the spot immediately.
