Boys" On Rampage

In The Streets

By John Earle

Belgrade, Sept. 20.

Belgrade authorities are concerned at the growth of "street banditism" by gongs of youths who start brawls in public places, rob passers-by in the streets, and molest girls going home at night.

For years, the Yugoslav capital has had its spiva, who run a black market in tickets for the cinema, and who lurk round the main hotels, ready to steal a wireless aerial or windscreen wipers off a foreigner's unattended car.

Law Too Lax

The newspaper added that the law in Yugoslavia is much too lax and should be tightened up. The maximum punish- ment for stirring up disorder in a public

Teheran,

Persia hopes to cripple the world's illicit opium trafficking by passing a bill to ban the growing of the opium poppy in the country.

The Bill should become law this autumn and it would come into effect in the spring of next year.

International narcotics authorities warned Persia recently that the bulk of opium flooding the bazaars of the Orient is Persian. The stream of supplies moving east out of Persia began soon after the Government had signed the pact last October with a consortium of Western oil Companies, to run her oil industry.
