Inc. PILFERAGE DRAINS SI BILLION A YEAR Every year at least SI billion is drained from the U. S economy by employees who steal things ranging from stamps and electronic parts to huge pieces ol equipment. . Increasingly, these pilferers are seemingly law-abiding citizens rather than hardened crooks. Some use such crude but effective devices as shipping merchandise to relatives under fictitious orders and burying loot in garbage or trash cans to be picked up outside by an accomplice. Others use such refined methods as installing an extra cash reg ister payable to themselves. For instance, V crooked su permarket manager might put in a cash register without the knowledge of his chain, man it himself only at peak shopping hours, pocket the take. As industrial pilferage has multiplied, so has the pro fessional protection business designed to combat it. Just how bad is the situation? What can be done to eliminate this needless drain? Here are the views of W. Sherman Burns, president of the William J. Burns International De tective Agency, Inc., the world's largest industrial security organization. Porter: How is that $1 billion pilferage figure reached? Burnst It is based on insurance loss statistics. It doesn't count mysterious losses which we know occur. Many com Denies can't be specific about a loss because they don't even know what their inventory is at a given time, and therefore these losses are not reimbursable by insurance companies. Statistics also fail to include perhaps far greater losses through employee waste, malingering, poor super visory work or outright conflict of interest. Porteri How do U.S. losses compare with those in other countries? Burns: .Our losses are higher because our economy is so much bigger and the cost of our materials is so much higher. On a moral basis, though, pilferage is no higher here than in other parts of the world. Unquestionably, there is less respect for the rights of private property today than In the past. It is astounding how many people will commit petty theft without thinking they are doing anything wrong. Porter: Would stiffer laws or greater law enforcement help to eliminate this huge drain on our economy? - Burns: Certainly more law enforcement would, but there's always the question of how much you can spend on law enforcement. All police departments are under manned. '. Some businessmen operate under the philosophy that it would cost them more to stop pilferage than to absorb the loss or raise prices to cover it. Others, unfortunately, won't even turn the matter over to their insurance companies preferring simply to get rid of a man they suspect of wrong doing. All businessmen should understand the basic point that to leave crimes unpunished is to invite more crimes. Porter: In addition to prosecuting known offenders, how can company managements protect themselves against light lingered employees? Burns: Much crime could be eliminated by one easy move: checking on the background of prospective em ployees. Startling as it may seem, many employers don't even check the references of those they hire. If some let tors don't come back, they fail to find out why. Companies we protect ask job applicants to sign a standard employee record card which states that applicants must' be willing to have their past record and references checked by our agency. Among the questions on this card are: "Have you ever been refused a bond? "Have you ever been com plained of, indicted for or convicted of any violation of the law or ordinance? If so, give details." A clear state ment that a company is being professionally protected helps to eliminate the temptation to crime. Porter: How Important is close checking of inventories? Burns: It's vital, for if companies do not have reliable systems to check inventory, any employee with a little larceny In his soul is handed a great temptation. It is far more economical to try to prevent pilferage than It is to in vestigate it. v . Dennis the Menace I Mexico, San Diego Rocked by Quake San Diego - 1T - A sharp earthquake, the second this week, jolted parts of Mexico, San Diego and Imperial coun ties Wednesday afternoon, seismologists reported. Fred Robinson, a seismolo gist here, said he recorded "a series of quakes" starting 11 seconds before the disturb ance was reported In Pasa dena at the California Insti tute of Technology seismo graphic laboratory. Dr. Charles Richter of Cal tech said the temblor had a magnitude of S on the Richter scale and was recorded at 3:13 p.m. He said the tremor was nearly as strong as one regis tered Tuesday. Both quakes were centered in the area of Baja, Califor nia, Mexico. Court Records MED FORD MUNICIPAL Vivian Louie Keefer, driving without headlight, $10; driving without headlight. $10.
