Chicago Teen Gangs Making City 'Unsafe' Crime Prober Declares Juvenile Problem Getting Worse CHICAGO HI Teen-age gangs now are producing Chicago head lines of the same type the adult mobsters did in the past. The headlines are over stories of crimes of violence such as the recent slayings of a boy in a ham mer attack and a man in a motel robbery. "There's no f use burying our heads in the sand." comments Walter Devereux, chief investiga tor of the Chicago Crime Commis sion. "This city is not safe to roam in and it's getting worse." But the juvenile division' of the Police Department says that, on the basis of the current rate, it doubts that the crime rate for 1957 will be much higher than 1956. ' During 1956 there were 12.439 cases noted by the division. The statistics included: larceny of au tomobiles, 747; burglary, 614; rob beries (mostly strong arm), 229. The bulk of the others were in the minor class. The record shows that 4,845 of the complaints were handled by "station adjustment" such things as quarreling, ring ing doorbells and annoying the neighbors that got no farther than an area police station. But there have been a number of instances of teen-age gang ac tion. Such as these; An elderly shoe repair man and five youths were viciously attacked by a gang of some 30 toughs, armed with bottles and knives, apparently without provocation. The victims were hospitalized. Two gangs wrecked a restau rant in an outbreak of rivalry and when thrown out, later returned, fired a bullet through a window and wounded an innocent customer- ... , . A gang proved on nigh school pupils, extorting 50 cents to 52 weekly as protection money. Another gang specialized in stealing automobile tires and dur ing a one-vear period stole S16.000 worth of tires besides committing five other burglaries. Thirteen white toughs are re portedly under indictment for murder in the hammer slaying of Alvin Palmer, a Negro teen ager who was attacked as he ttood at a South Side bus stop. Four other teen-agers have beer, indicted for murder in the fatal shooting of Charles Strysky , during a robbery of his suburban Alsip motel. And so the reports go, day after day. Skunk cabbage gets its name from the odor when it .is first bruised by snow and ice in earl spring. yes sim FOR AS LITTLE AS 00 WftK you CAN INST All A Well-Traveled AUSTIN, Minn., W-The suitcase 16 - year - old Ann Mickelson will carry on her first trip abroad this summer knows its way around.

Killed when their car went into a ditch and struck the pole were William E. Schultz, 28, of Winger, Minn., the driver, and Donald Haugen, 21, also of Winger. Highway patrolmen said Schultz apparently died of injuries suf fered in. the crash but Haugen was electrocuted. The younger man cried out, "I'm being shocked" before he died at the scene. Six other occupants of the car, mostly teen-agers, were injured and are hospitalized at Crookston, Minn. The first car on the scene was driven by Marvin Duncan Jr., 18, Fosston, Minn. Both he and His passenger, Arnold Rolf, 18, of Fosston, were electrocuted when they went to the Schultz car.

(UP) Mrs. Rita Fallon complained to police that living on a dead-end street is no reason her driveway should look like a cemetery. Mrs. Fallon said hearses and funeral ears have been using her driveway for turn ing around when returning from a nearby cemetery. The big-mouthed hippopotamus, some of which weigh more than four tons, is a useful animal. They keep African lakes and streams free of clogging vegetation.
