R. T. Redies, identification expert for the police department, discovered yesterday that practice of gangland tactics may begin at an early age.

His information came from a nine-year-old whose conscience apparently bested fears of reprisal. The youngster called to report the location of several articles stolen by another boy. They were hidden on the roof of a downtown hotel, Redies was advised. Redies' informant gave the name of the alleged thief but said his knowledge of the thefts came from still another boy, name unknown. "But he said he'd kill me if I told," the youngster said.

Apparently little concerned over the boy's being taken for a ride. Redies today was looking for the owners of a razor, an auto windshield visor, a bottle of ink, a clothes brush and one or two other articles.
