Laws and police groups are ineffective methods of stopping organized crime, William J. Keating, staff counsel for the New York State Crime Commission, said here last night.

"You cannot enforce a standardized moral code upon everyone," Keating told Dudley Government concentrators. Speaking of the police, FBI, and other "crimebusters," he explained that they were "too mutually disorganized and competitive" to halt large-scale rackets.

The best way of combatting crime, he stated, is to inform the public about critical situations through the press, radio, and television. Properly Indignant civic groups would then put pressure on the underworld to halt its activities.
