The Brussels Post, 1962-11-15, Page 2when -he drove up in a large
sedan car with a passenger. The
bowler ,and the horn-rimmed
spectacles did not fool them.
The pollee taxi was unobstru-
sively following the sedan. It
turned into a, narrow cul-de-sac
flanked on each side with ware-
houses and which ended in a
three-foot wall with a sheer
drop on the fax side straight into
the Thames.
A fine autumn mist blew from
the river, Dance alighted, and
stood in a warehouse doorway.
He saw Aua'ie's passenger get
out of the sedan and look
around him. The moment for
action had come.
Dance walked quickly to the
sedan, naught the leandle tef the
driver's door and- wrenched it
open. As he did so, the, car
thrust forward, and the swinging
door brushed Dance aside.
With brakes squealing the car
slid to a stop inches from the
low wall, The driver sprang out,
shaking himself free of his over-
coat as he did so, and bowler and
spectacles went spinning.
With a lithe leap the man
Dance was chasing took a blind
header over the low parapet,
down through the swirling mist,
and on to the foreshore, eighteen
feet below, and escaped.
Aussie Denny was now defini-
tely on the run. Inspector Dance
picked up his man's trail once
more in Hove, but Aussie Denny
again shook off pursuit,
Finally, Dance concentrated
his efforts on a relative. It was
this relative who unsuspectingly
led the Flying Squad to a house
in Camberwell, South London.
This time the daring car ban-
dit's luck was out. He Was in
bed and sleeping when the Fly-
ing Squad came into his room.
He sat up, rubbing the sleep
from his eyes, and with the odds
so heavily against him made no
attempt at another getaway.
He grinned at the unsmiling
Flying Squad men, to whom
sleep had become a stranger.
"Who gets the medal for this?"
he asked.
The answer came later that
year, 1936, in the Central .Crim-
inal Court, when Alf Dance was
commended for his part in the
investigation and capture, and
the man in the dock received
three years' penal servitude,
DARING NEEDLEWORK
Most, free-falling parachutists
either count very precisely or
look at the second hands of their
watches as they hurtle through
space, But Murray Casson and
Barry Aravandino, members of
the Queensland Parachute Club,
in Australia, found something
more exciting to do as they
tumbled earthwards.
Jumping together from a light
aircraft over Redbanks Plains,
near Brisbane, they brought off
a sensational needle-threading
aerial act. While Barry held a
large wooden needle, 'his' part-,
ner threaded a piece of wire
through -its "eye." ,
Then, having fallen 7,500 ft.,
both men pulled their ripcords
and floated to ground gracefully
with a threaded needle to allow
for their pains.
Best Way to cure your worries
is to leave them behind and let
them die of neglect,

The construction workers tried

The would-be rescuer was only

were holding on toe long rope

Now, with Horst only about
thirty yards from the lockgatee,
another workman had an idea,
"Give me a rope," he said,
"and I'll hang myself from our
biggest crane, Then manoeuvre •
the crane down to the water so-
that I can reach him,"
So the workman, twenty-five-

the crane which was swung out
over the Danube. Just in. time,
Franz .grabbed Horst's arms as
he was being swept towards the

method of 'gretiregeirireerarry-:—

ern Australia's rivers, swamps
and salt-water estuaries so he
devised a flying observation- ._ post, his so-called "parakite."
Strapped to this, he can float
above water-courses, islets and
sandbanks, and see exactly where
good-quality crocs lurk,
Basically, the parakite is a
hovering parachute, twenty-eight
feet in diameter. Built-in air
vents enable the sky-rider to
alter direction much as he
pleases, and he can also control
his rate of -iise and fall.
Mobility is supplied by the
truck which Stan's partner drives
along the nearest bank, hauling
him forward on a 3,000-foot-
long nylon tow rope, In a stiffish
wind, the croc-spotter often gets
a taste of airsickness.
Stan, a crack shot, occasionally
knocks off a c:roc from his aerial
perch. But his main purpose in
going up' aloft is to spot large-
scale crocodile concentrations,
Once he's sighted a well pop-
ulated lair, he signals to his
truck driver to turn inland and,
in the process, lowers himself
gently to earth,
The two men then remove
their hunting craft from the
truck, push quietly into the wa-
ters, and stalk their qtaarry.
Given fair luck, both then reg-
ister good kills.

When Car Bandit's
Luck Ran Out
Inspector Alf Dance was wor-
ried. He was a veteran of the
Flying Squad, with more than
100 judges' commendations to his
credit. But that day his work
seemed to have come unstuck.
There had been another smash-
and-grab in the early hours of
the morning.
The report was on his desk.
The same technique he now
knew by heart, A fast car with
false plates, a neat job, close
timing, and then a change to an-
other car,
It was the technique invented
by a man known to the Squad
as Aussie Denny.
Dance knew his real name,
Denny Delaney, but hadn't been
able to prove his guilt. In fact,
he knew a great deal about Aus-
sie Denny's gang whose home
territory was in South London.
It included Tall Alec. who used
to turn up at the scene of a pro-
posed smash-and-grab in consta-
ble's uniform, and keep watch
for the gang,
The getaway driver was Fair
Eddie, who would have been a
motor-racing ace if lie could have
kept straight.
They all had nerve, but Aus-
sie Denny had nerve plus brains,
o was both schemer and leader,
a Powerful combination in the
underworld, '
Aussie Denny was feat only the
first car bandit to use relays of
cars on a jab, he was the first
organizer to hold rehearsals.
He would take his car crew
out into the country for a trial
check, and Fair Eddie had his
chance to prove he, had not lost
his skill. in dodging ,obstacles
when flat out, or in turning and
reversing in a few feet without
stalling. For only when the
tough Australian was satisfied at
rehearsal was the job definitely
"on."
There had been a job at Eus-
ton Station where two men, with
Valuables worth $18,000, had
been attacked, The theft was
planned to the second, and ob-
viously based on sound informa-
tion.
The driver of the getaway car
had shown a clean pair of heels-
to any pursuit Inspector Dance
was convinced this was the hall-
mark of Aussie Denny, as was
the raid on the furrier's in Mor-
timer Street.
On that occasion a bandit car
was backed into the furrier's
window, and in seconds $15,000
worth of furs were collected.
The most expensive coat was
firmly secured to its stand, which
was a female dummy.
Not willing to surrender the
prize item in the grab, nor ready
to waste time and ruin a tight
schedule, the bandit leader de-
cided to take the coat—still at-
tached to,the piaster figure,
Instantly the bandit car was

racing away, spraying the road
with splinters of glass.
But one of the bandits had
gashed his leg on a jagged spike
of glass in the broken window.
He was bleeding rapidly, and
it was his blood trail that a Ply-
ing Squad car, summoned after
burglar alarms had sounded,
picked up and followed.
With little traffic on the roads,
the bandit car was soon spatted,
and the police driver began to
overhaul the bandit in a grim
chase.
There can be no doubt the
bandit car would have been rain-
med if the leader had not been
doing some quick thinking,
The Flying Squad car was
drawing still closer when the
occupants were appalled to see
the body of a naked woman fall
from the speeding bandit car.
At least, it appeared to be a
naked woman, and site fell right
in their path,
The police driver stood on his
'brakes, swerved, and missed the
nude figure by inches, The po-
lice ear came to a shuddering
halt with a smell of burning
rubber, and the Squad men stum-
bled out to help the prone wo-
man,
"They've tricked us!"
There were a few, more heart-
felt comments as the Squad men
stared at the furrier's dummy,
Already the bandit car had
vanished, and the trail of blood
ended 100 yards farther on.
It seemed Aussie Denny was
just too clever to-be caught.
The fugitive again, beat the.
Flying Squad in a duel of wits
and nerve.
Alf Dance began to- follow
some hunches based on under=
world inforrnation, and one day
he and Ted Greeno, who later
became a notable member of the
Murder Squad, sat in a taxi
watching the approach to Black-
friars Underground Station, near

Marconi by one year to the first

A University of California
electrical engineer has just pub-
lished the first fully documented
study of the Popov-Macroni con-
troversy. His conclusion: The
Soviet claim contains more static
than substance.
Popov's claim to priority, Dr.
Charles Susskind notes in the
Proceedings of the- Institute of
Radio Engineers, rests on a dem-
onstration the ussian conducted
in May 1895. It showed that an,

applied this idea to a wireless
apparatus, he did not then pub-
lish anything more than the hope
it might someday be used to
transmit messages. Marconi was
first to publish a description of
his wireless experiments — by
being first to apply for a patent
in June 1896,
"It is not my intention to de-
bunk Popov," Susskind said.
"But the officious Soviet Cam-

must be deplored by any serious
historian."
