The three men who organised a nation-wide bingo hall fraud have been sent to jail with the hopes of dozens of small investors on their conscience. And so ends an appalling story of recklessness, duplicity and plain, downright dishonesty which The People" alone started telling two years ago. These are the three men who, Leeds Assizes was told, duped Ahead of him is a world trip By KEN GARDNER IN WIND and rain, and under a grey sky. John Ridgway yesterday set off for the starting point of his incredible voyage non stop around the world.

He took the helm of his 30-ft. boat, English Rose IV, and, with a steady breeze billowing her sails, slipped from the calm of the River Hamble near Southampton into the bluster of the Channel. As his boat danced on the white-capped waves, the blond 29-year-old paratroop captain yelled against the wind: "She goes like a dream." Then he set course for the Isle of Inishmore, on the West Coast of Ireland. It was there that his epic Atlantic voyage with fellowparatrooper Chay Blyth ended two years ago. And Ridgway has chosen it as the official starting point for his adventure in a fortnight's time.

His boat, "Rosie." which left the makers three months ago, is really just a family cruiser. And as she was being made ready yesterday, a spectator on the bank asked: "Do you really think she'll make it? I know she will," said Ridgway. Watching quietly. with just a trace of a tear in her eye. was his 23-year-old wife, Marie- Christine.

Parting She knew, when they left their little cottage in Farnham yesterday, that it will be a year or more before they are together there again. Chay Blyth was also there to wish Ridgway to present him with a St. Christopher medal which was given to them for their last voyage. You may need It he said. I'm sure I will," said Ridgway.

Among the last provisions stowed aboard were three cakes, with which Ridgway will celebrate his own birthday, his wife's and that of their 10- month-old daughter, Rebecca. Helping to prepare the sails yesterday was Tom Richardson. the 24-year-old international ocean-racing helmsman who is accompanying Ridgway as far as Ireland. Shortly before 5 p.m. the final preparations were over.

There were kisses and hugs and shouts of good luck. And "Rosie," followed by a small flotilla of boats, edged down channel. FILMS A strangler in disguise FILMS about psychopathic killers are the trend, and it's carried to the limit in NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY, Rod Steiger's blood-chilling portrait of a strangler on the loose. This is really an Alfred Hitchcock type of movie directed by someone Jack Smight. The film keeps you on the edge of suspense all the time.

Rod Steiger, in a variety of disguises, is equally compelling. He wastes no time in delivering a corpse in the first minute. He plays the part of a sadistic killer whose victims are always middle-aged women. The film has a macabre humour which just takes the edge off the horror and is sometimes hilarious. The killer's method is always the same.
