CHICAGO July 31 Taking the profits out of kidnaping by refusal to meet the ransom demands was urged today by Dr. Carleton Simon, New York criminologist, as an effective strategy for eradicating the menace.

Roche criticized the Wickersham report as misrepresentation and distortion of the truth and called for focused crime control measures including orderly prosecution, juvenile delinquency work, and fewer laws with strict enforcement.
