Cracked Open. Now the FBI has started a special computer-fraud program at its training center in Quantico, Va. Instructors have set up a model computer-controlled bank, complete with fictional account holders and loan applications, and they give the students only a few clues about what kinds of fraud might be involved. Next month the FBI school will begin giving its four-week training course to state and local policemen...
...agents trained in the Quantico center received the tip about the moonlighting music publishers in Philadelphia and cracked the case wide open. But their efforts may receive a setback this week, when U.S. Judge J. William Ditter rules on defense motions to throw out the indictments.

An agent of the Treasury Department became suspicious that Ruby and William Walden, who worked in a department store in Quantico, Va., were selling firearms to minors illegally. He had three young Marines assigned to an undercover investigation that resulted in the Waldens' conviction. The appeals court concluded that Navy regulations and other laws prohibit use of the armed services to enforce civilian laws. "But," said the court, "because this case presents the first [such] instance of which we are aware...
