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.

3 Electrocuted
Trying to Pull
Dead From Car
MAHNOMEN, Minn, tfl Two
persons were killed Thursday
When their car sheared off a pow
er pole and three would-be res
cuers were electrocuted in relay
in an attempt to remove the dead
and injured from the wreckage.
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.

dahl, 21, Winger, who came along
in another car and also sought to
aid the accident victims.

A "DEAD" END STREET
BUTLER, N.J. (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.
