Police Officer John.Cregan in plainclothes, pulled up under a street light that morning ant waited for the expected ap proach. He thought she was older than her 15 years as she saun tered over to him in her black slacks, long coat and red floppj hat and propositioned him. "I told her what I wanted and we discussed the price. I was $15.

Then I told her lisas a police officer and she was un der arrest for prostitution," he said. "She said: 'Oh, okay. It's all right. But I'd hate for my mother to find By morning, she had been fingerprinted, photographed and released on a. conditional discharge after pleading guilty as a 19-year-old first offender By 10 p.m.

the same night Karen Baxter was dead. Karen was one of a million who youth delinquency experts estimate ran away from home last year. She also was one of the thousands of runaways the experts say are turning to prostitution, to survive. They are young and vulnerable easy prey for men such as Karen's 6-foot-l inch, 200- pound attacker who police say choked the life from her in run-down Lexington Avenue hotel room Feb. 22 with the silver-colored metal chain around her neck.

He has not yet been caught. Karen had been in New York just one month. But her journey began years ago in a bleak neighborhood of Cambridge, just a mile from Harvard Square, but an entirely different world. "She never did anything that bad here," said Karen's moth- Phyllis Baxter, who talked through tears and quivering voice about her daughter while other children tried to her in the cramped apartment. The Baxter family has lived at one of Newton Court's 30 brick housing units on public assistance ever since the departure of her father 10 years ago.

Karen had rebelled early against the restricted life of a lousing project child. "You really can't blame her 'or wanting to get out of said Arnold -Dobson, the Fiance of Karen's older sister, Pamela. Dobson, a former social worker and long-time friend of he slain girl, drove to New York with Pamela to identify the body.

Like the rest of the girls round here, she knew more at 9 than a girl somewhere else vould know at 15." Her shoulder-length red hair ccentuated the blueness of her eyes.

Baxter was unable to do that to the depart ment's satisfaction. "If they had been more will ing to help, my daughter would be alive today," Mrs. Baxter said, Dobson, who watched many of the family arguments, said: "There people just who aren't enough care that have enough power to influence a situation like this." By last Christmas, Dobson said, Karen- was given the choice of either going to live with a relative elsewhere in the city or going to an institution. She decided to flee to New- York. "She was like so many other young runaway girls.

They think their hometowns are hick towns and-the action is in New York City. But the action isn't here only trouble," said Cregan, the policeman who arrested Karen.

"And we're still work- ng on it." These cases were cleared by working under cover, he said.

"I always tell people not to shoot a hippie. He may be one of ours." More than $200,000 worth of property was recovered in the ast two weeks when the burglary cases were cleared.

A. W. Henscey. We even have a lieutenant working under him." During a question-answer session with the audience, Heard was asked why crime is increas- 1 ng. He blamed it on the "Age of the Shrug" on people who don't care and say it is none of their business.

"For God's sake," he added, 'when you get a jury summons, serve! Juries are the ones that lear the cases."
