Kensington boasts city within city in historic 11 mile area

When the Chicago Police Department opened its new Kensington Station at 115th Street and Indiana Avenue in 1908, the then General Superintendent of Police, George M. Shippy, described it as a modern facili ty with "lots of air and daylight."

And, since police districts were called precincts at that time, Kensington was designated as the 14th Precinct.

The immense red-brick building consisted of three floors. The rooms had tall ceilings, common in structures built in that era . There were two large entrances; the front one designated for patrol, the back one for ambulances.These (The old Police Mounted Patrol was dis where officers waited for assignments. were clearly marked with words carved banded in 1948 only to be reactivated "Kensington had three beat cars and in the stone over the doorways.

cently spent several weeks walking through the neighborhoods of the Kensington area, said:

"It's like a city within a city. Each one of the communities is different and we work with each of the organizations in those areas. We also have the cooperation of the many block clubs."

Covering more than 100 miles on his walk, Commander Smith met and talked personally with hundreds ofarea residents regarding conditions and problems in their respective neighborhoods.

"It was gratifying to see citizens come out to meet me when I was walking . .. they are concerned about crime and their community and we achieved a good rapport," said Smith.

The 5th District ranks 10th in population among the Department's 23 districts, having 159,383 residents. It is 4th in size, with 11.8 square miles. Its boundaries extend south to the city limits; the Calumet Expressway and Stony Island on the East; 95th Street on the North and Stewart from 95th to 115th Street and 115th Street to I-57 on the West.

Its most serious crime problem today is theft; followed by burglary and then auto theft.

The district is diversified in character. It contains much industry such as the Sherwin Williams Company, International Harvester, Pullman Standard, American Drop Forge, as well as a public housing development, residential and business community. "We have a great number of people commuting in

and out ofthis area to work every day in addition to those who live here," said Smith.

Kensington is composed of 14 distinct communities. Probably the most historic and picturesque is the Pullman area which was, through the efforts of the Pullman Civic Organization, designed as an Illinois Historic area in 1969; a National landmark in 1970 and a Chicago Landmark in 1972.

Subsequently the Historic Pullman Foundation was founded and several buildings acquired by them since 1973 have either been restored or are currently under restoration.

Pullman's historic significance as a town has been more or less ignored through the years having been pushed out of the limelight by the infamous Pullman Strike of 1894. After violence broke out, President Grover Clevland, over the protest of Illinois Governor John P. Altgeld, sent in federal troops to restore order.

The town of Pullman was the brain child ofGeorge Pullman, inventor ofthe pullman sleeping car and owner of the Pullman Palace Car Company. His idea was to "create" a perfect and self contained city for his employees; the philosophy being that if workers were able to live in a decent environment which provided all their daily needs, skilled workers would be attracted, productivity would be high and strikes would be avoided.

owned by Pullman, was the first wholly planned industrial community in the United States. Designed by achitect Solon S . Berman and landscape architectNathan F . Barrett, the town contained industry, a church, school, bank, health service, recreational facilities, shops, market places for fresh meats and produce, and several varieties of housing. These included larger houses for the railroad supervisors, row houses for families and a three-story apartment building for single male workers-all constructed of red brick which was produced from clay found on the company site. By 1885, some 1,400 housing units had been constructed with additional units following in tr.e early 1890s with a population of almost 12,000 residents .

Rents were reasonable, starting at $8 to $25, with the average rental $14 per month-about 25 per cent of the average salary in that day .

One of the most spectacular structures in Pullman was the Arcade ... an imposing building 250 feet long, 164 feet wide and 90 feet high. A gallery extended down the center of the building with an open view from the floor to the open glass enclosed clerestory at the roof, giving the structure a most majestic appearance.

The Arcade, much like the suburban "under one roof' shopping centers of today , contained numerous retail stores on the first floor, an 8,000 volume library donated by Pullman , a bank and billiard parlor on the second floor.

In addition, an artificial lake with parks and gardens was added and for businessmen and visitors, an elegant Victorian hotel named in honor of Pullman's daughter was erected . The ornate Hotel Florence, with 70 guest

south and west side of the hotel. Visitors entering the hotel walked

through doors of polished cherry wood and checked in at a counter made of Tennessee marble atop a handsome cherry desk. The lobby was furnished with chairs and sofas of solid mahogany and upholstered with heavy maroon velvet plush.

The hotel a lso boasted having the first gas range ever employed in a hotel as large as the Florence, having three large ovens and 24 burners. Each floor annex provided a bathroom and water closet for use of servants-a feature seldom found in a hotel anywhere.

Room rates, $3 to $4 per day, were termed "reasonable" in view of the excellence of accommodations.

Pullman, Illinois, was an idealistic, economic and social experiment lasting approximately 20 years. However, the dream backfired because everything in Pullman was owned and controlled by the company, but paid for directly and indirectly by the residents. Eventually this resulted in Pullman's downfall.

In 1892 when the nation suffered an economic depression caused primarily by the over-expansion of railroads, Pullman over-reacting to the situation, accepted contracts at less than cost to keep his company operating. At the same time he cut wages . However, rents were not proportionately lowered.

Bitter and dissatisfied, his workers went on strike. In 1898 a court ruling forced Pullman to sell all of its nonindustrial properties and as the company's involvement decreased, Pullman as a town gradually died, eventually becoming just another community in the City of Chicago. (Pullman was annexed to Chicago in 1889.)

largest restoration project underway today is that of the Hotel Florence which was acquired last year. Some repairs and improvements already have been completed.

Work is a lso underway in Arcade Park, directly across from the Florence, to recreate the Victorian motif of the 1900s complete with old-fashioned park benches and gaslight fixtures.


Deterrent to thefts

Gems areDiamonds are forever and, as they

say, a girl's best friend, but ifshe doesn't have a "fingerprint" of them, the gems could be just a fond memory if ever stolen.

A new and exciting facet of criminalistic investigation has been added to the Department, which may someday be a deterrent to large jewelry heists, if owners of expensive gems follow through on the advice of jewelers.

An instrument, called Gemprint, is available which, by "fingerprinting" diamonds and many other transparent faceted gems, will assist law enforcement personnel in establishing the rightful owners of jewelry recovered from burglaries.

"I feel that there is a potential need for this instrument," said Chief Forensic Photographer Art Kleist ofthe Criminalistics Division. "Officers should be aware that such an instrument exists and what it is capable of doing.

"In the past, diamonds were identified by cut, clarity, color, carat size, or setting. These techniques were not always valid in court. Suspected burglars have actually sued for return of gems they h~d allegedly stolen, because

owners could not positively identify them."

Now, for the first time, a system is available which provides, according to manufacturer claims, an irrefutable identity of a diamond "as infallible as fingerprints with each diamond displaying its own individual pattern of reflections unlike ony other diamond."

"Recently, the Gemprint process was accepted as evidence in a court oflaw," said Craig Carnevale, Director of Marketing for Gemprint, Ltd. "This was indeed a very significant happening."

The Gemprint system, developed by the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, operates in a relatively simple way. It utilizes a helium-neon laser beam to produce a photograph of "the interior of the diamond." The beam is focused by lenses onto a precisely positioned diamond. The reflections of the polished surface return through the lens and focus onto a film plane, from which a recording of the reflection is made on film. The resulting print resembles a picture of a constellation.

It is essential that the diamond be placed in this precise postion, by centering it with a pinhole in the film plane, so all subsequent pictures taken of the diamond will reveal the same pattern.

The process takes a matter of min~ utes ; can be performed on any size stone in either single or multi-gem settings; and the instrument is very portable (weighing 26 pounds and only 31 inches long.)

When customers order the Gemprint service from their jeweler, they receive a numbered certificate, containing the Gemprint photograph, to keep with their insurance papers and other important records. They also recei ve a "Notice of Loss" form in case the gem is lost or stolen.

A second copy of the photograph is forwarded to the Official Gemprint Registry, 29 E. Madison, where it is stored and classified with a computer to keep track of the print for retrieval.

Ifthe diamond is stolen, the customer returns the loss form and the proper Gemprint negative is removed from the files and compared by superimposing it

over other negatives, especially those made of stolen jewelry recovered by police.

Gemprint, Ltd. has loaned three of the $3,000 instruments to police departments in Miami, Los Angeles, in addition to Chicago. Preparations are currently being made to loan the instrument to the Dallas and Houston police departments . "The Federal Bureau of Investigation has recently purchased one ofour instruments," said Carnevale.

The instrument also offers another advantage to law enforcement personnel and jewelers besides the identification of gems. It is able to determine if a diamond is genuine. "When placed in the instrument, a synthetic diamond will usually show a non-diamond like symmetrical pattern," said Carnevale, "while nature always will produce a random pattern. The genuine diamond's Gemprint pattern also is always sharp and defined."

Several large jewelry stores are offering the Gemprint process as a free ser-

For English police constable

An officer's best defense her purse? When you go out on your beat, how

would you like to go out only with your purse for protection?

Well, for woman Police Constable Sue Hammerton of Lancaster, Lancashire , England, it's not unusual; it's all she has while out on patrol besides her personal radio connecting with the district.

"I don't know what I would do with a gun . The only time anyone had any guns occurred when Princess Alexander attended a graduation to hand out the certificates. We have a rifle range, but it's strictly for sport. There is a special detail that has to sign out for guns from our headquarters armory, but only for formal occasions."

Constable Hammerton, who was visiting Chicago on holiday, toured Headquarters and went on a ridealong. She gave a wee bit of the background of how she became a police officer in England.

The 22-year old, 5 foot 6 inch officer, one inch over the minimum for women, "had a fascination for uniforms and the pagentry you usually see associated with them. There are no other members of my family in police work ."

Deputy Chief of Patrol John Mcinerney and Police Constable Sue Hammerton of England have "hat chat."

There are 140 women on the 3,500member Lancashire force (450 miles north of London), which requires two years of probation following an extensive training program.

«After the initial interview, we go through four weeks of written and medical examinations, and another interview with the Superintendent Chiefand two other high-ranking officers. They put you through a grueling soulsearching to learn why you decided to become a constable and whether you

have the qualifications to continue. You might say it's one big psychological test.

"Afterwards, comes a one-week indoctrination course at the headquarters , and 10 weeks in a physical and very military-type grind at our District Training Center. Later, two weeks is spent in a local procedure course, covering laws for the different areas we cover."

And the constables have to take a fi ve-week driving course-eight hours a day- even though they may know how to drive, learning all the streets and towns in and around Scotland and Wales.

"We are then sent to a station, and they really are on a smaller scale than what I've seen in Chicago. There may be a telephone and a desk for the Unit Beat Station in the village.

After a final five-week training period in court, general office , communications, administration and collectors (inteiligence), and four weeks on beats with a senior officer, "then we are out on our own. It is quite better than some of the earlier boring stuff and it has been fun ."

DEPARTMENT COMMENDATIONS The Department's Blue Star Award

was conferred upon Officer Bobby Bridges, Sanitation Unit, who recently suffered a serious injury in the direct performance of police duty.

On the 5500 block of West Madison Street, Bridges observed a man carrying a revolver. The officer notified the Communications Operations Section and approached the gunman. The man turned suddenly, aimed his weapon at Bridges and squeezed the trigger. The revolver, however, failed to discharge.

Bridges drew his gun and ordered the man to drop the weapon. The gunman ignored the command and fired twice at the officer, who was struck in the right shoulder.

Despite the wound, Bridges returned fire and fatally wounded his assailant. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and has since returned to active duty.

However, the tow truck did not go to the pound but was followed instead to the lot of a nearby scrapyard, where the driver and supervisor appeared to be in the process of having the car crushed. When questioned by Micetic and McClain, the supervisor told them that the car belonged to another police officer and that he had taken it there for repairs.

The officers notified the Communications Operations Section and requested that other supervisory personnel be sent to the scene. When they informed the supervisor that he should remain until the other officers arrived, he refused and drove away in his car. Arriving police personnel were informed of the situation and the supervisor was arrested.

Officers Jack Handley, Edward O'Brian, Raymond Pellegrini, and Stanley Shier, 5th District, recently responded to a broadcast of gunfire on the 200 block of West 106th Place. The officers were met by a woman who informed them that a woman had been shot inside and that her assailant was still inside the house. Suddenly, the officers heard a scream.

Rushing to the door, the officers identified themselves and ordered the man inside to surrender. When they received no response, the officers forced open the door. They were met by gunfire from an adjoining room. Pellegrini returned gunfire as O'Brian quickly moved toward the room and kicked open the door. The offender again fired at the officers, whereupon the officers returned the fire and fatally wounded the gunman.

The two victims found inside were rushed to a nearby hospital where all attempts to save them failed.

A 12 year old boy had been walking to

school when he was approached by a man identifying himself as a truant officer willing to drive the youth to school. The child entered the car, whereupon the man drew a revolver and sexually assaulted the child. The boy was then released and immediately reported the incident to his principal, who telephoned police .

Officers Earl Marshall and John Crenshaw, 7th District, were assigned to investigate. The child provided them with a description of the offender and his autOmobile . While searching the area, the officers observed a man parked

Drug traffickers and those charged with possession in Singapore and Thailand get no sympathy from police and the governments there-they face severe penalties-and one of them is death.

This was revealed recently by six law enforcement officials from those countries on a recent field trip to Chicago while attending the 23rd Advanced International Drug Enforcement School at the National Training Institute in Washington, D.C. The school is under the auspices of the United States Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration.

"It is a six-week school, with two weeks each of review, drug enforcement management and field trip," said DEA Special Agent Edward G. Nolan, who accompanied the officials on the tour of Headquarters.

"Our problem with drugs in Thailand was the easy passage through the country by plane, bus and trains and our close proximity to Burma, Laos, and China," said Lieutenant Colonel Ahond Ahkuputra, who also visited Chicago in 1957.

"We have had traffic in opium and refining heroin. We hand out severe penalties. Just recently we executed an expert chemist who had been dealing in

Crenshaw and Marshall, after identifying themselves as police officers, questioned the suspect, who answered evasively. The officers also noticed several items which had been described by the child as having been in the car. The man was placed under arrest and positively identified by the boy as his assailant.

We have been getting help from the DEA, agents from France, Hong Kong, Canada, and the Interpol network.We have a national police force with 120,000 members for a population of 43 million."

In Singapore, which has a police force of7,000, Ajit Kumar Rajwekar, Acting Superintendent of police, said:

"We have some 10 to 15,000 addicts and have three rehabilitation centers, where offenders are taken where they must undergo treatment-and that's cold turkey from heroin and morphine-two ofthe most prevalent drugs.

"For those found with a minimum of 15 grams of heroin or 13 grams of morphine, there is a mandatory death sentence. We don't pamper drug pushers."

Colonel Ahkuputra revealed that Thailand has instituted a new program through help of the United Nations to discourage the planting and harvesting of opium. He said:

"Four years ago, with the inducement of more money, we finally convinced farmers in the northern part of the country to grow something else to replace their profitable opium harvest.

"We have been successful and in 1978 we should have a productive yield from one million coffee trees that were planted. With the price of coffee these days, the farmers should do quite well on the world market.

"Private companies through the UN have shown a great interest. We presently are building roads to bring the beans to market. There are 3,000 villages in the area, and when you figure 50 acres per village-that's a lot of coffee."

Sergeant Cecil Hockett has an instant readout after information was fed into computer by Charlotte Reid in Identification Section.

Charlotte Reid and Betty Winfield check on fingerprints through computer.

Fingerprints go -nto computer age Officers and Detention Aides in the

districts who take fingerprints of offenders and suspects may not realize the importance of the fingerprints they take.

"It speeds up the search process when clearing or charging a suspect," said Sergeant Cecil B. Hockett of the Identification Section, where the fingerprint facsimilies are handled when transmitted from the districts .

"The print must be good, clean and smudge-free," said Hockett. "It must have a full complete roll with the deltas clearly showing otherwise there is a time limit loss in putting the print information through the computer. The use of too much ink when ta-king prints also causes smudging or blotting. We can't stress enough how important it is that the fingerprint hard cards are sent in as soon as possible ."

One of the first stops for the fingerprint cards after they are received from the districts is the Control Desk, which is manned by Officers George Weber, John Moriarity , William McGaughey, Frank Williams and John Waitman . All are fingerprint technicians.

"We are responsible for the receiving and disemination of all fingerprint cards which enter the processing unit," said Weber. "The deskmen keep a log of

the prints and assist lockups by telephone with clearance of prisoners' prints .Along with special requests from out of the city, the desk also sees that criminal history sheets are delivered to applicable courts when the normal procedure would delay a suspect from appearing in court:'

Also, officers in the field may not realize that the fingerprints-after they

are logged in control slips made out and categorized by the technicians--can go through the computer and be cleared or a stop put on a suspect in the span of nine seconds.

Ifa check is required from the Federal Bureau of Identification or the state through a direct hookup, it may take a little longer-12 minutes.

System has a capability of 25 different cross references.

"Our primary goal is to get the suspects who are innocent out as soon as possible," said Robert M. Bernstein, computer technician in the LD. Section. "Suspects who profess their innocence, and indeed could be after they have been picked up on probable cause, also can be their own worst enemy; especially if they have resorted to using aliases . Whereas we can clear someone in seconds, a suspect with aliases takes longer because we have to make a manual computer check on each of the names.

"There was one man who had 25 aliases and we had to check on every one of them. It takes two to three minutes on each one through the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), and his report took almost an hour and a half to complete."

The speed ofthe system is exemplified through the computer readout. The machine prints a suspect's record at an incredible 132 characters per line, and

Despite a thorough fmgerprint file , a final check on a suspect can be made through the Datalog Police Photofax machine. The prints are placed on a facsimile sender-receiver after a phone call is placed to the FBI with pertinent data, then the prints are transmitted on the machine. A response is received within 12 minutes whether the suspect is wanted on warrants in other states. In the past a print inquiry sent to the FBI in Washington took at least three days to clear.

"One other protection," said Bernstein, " is the Freedom of Information Act and other federal regulations, which impose heavy fines on anyone giving out information without proper authorization outside the purview of police business. For individuals the fine can be $10,000 and for the Department as much as $100,000."

WGN'S Friend Indeed

Award

Officer Alicia Ayala

Officer Alic ia Ayala, 13th District, was presented this month's WGN "Friend Indeed" Award for her outstanding efforts in the saving of a mentally disturbed mother and her infant daughter .

Responding to a broadcast ofa disturbance on the 2600 block of West Division Street, Ayala observed a distraught woman with her baby on a third floor window ledge threatening tojump. She immediately went, with other officers, to the apartment but discovered the door was locked.

Ayala was persistent and persuaded the woman to reconsider and return to the apartment.

After a lengthy period, with many quiet reassurances and expressions of concern for the infant, Ayala convinced the woman to let the police enter. Ayala took the baby from the mother as other officers escorted the woman to a nearby hospital.

"It was the first time I dealt with a potential suicide," said Ayala , "and was relieved and gratified at the outcome."


You name it and Dispatcher Tony Pulciani, Communications Operations Section, can sculpture it out of metal. A cowboy complete with lasso and sixshooters, a drunk supported by a streetlight post, a man on a commode flipping through a magazine-just a few of the amazing creations he has sculptured entirely of metal.

A few tools, a couple of nuts and bolts, and a wild imagination is all the equipment Pulciani needs to create one of his pieces of artwork. "A trip to the junk yard for me is like a walk through paradise," he says. Any piece of metal he may lay his hands on-washers, ball bearings, a discarded part of a chairwill soon find itself a part of a beau tiful sculpture.

Pulciani became interested in metal sculpture when he was a member of the 6th Marine Division, stationed at Guadalcanal, during World War II. Having worked as a welder for a private firm for three years, Tony used these skills as a "form of therapy", to escape the horrors of war, by creating model airplanes out of shell fragments.

"I would keep a pliers and a file in my pocket at all times," said Pulciani. "I would make one wing one day , another wing another day , and when I would come across the proper tools in my travels I would weld the pieces together. I even used Japanese bullets for some of

the parts of the airplane!' During the post-war years Pulciani

worked a variety ofjobs until he started his career with the Department in 1956 with the old 29th District (now the 13th District. ) He was soon transferred to his current post as keeper of the various data, including the numerous tape recordings, of the Communications Operations Section.

Pulciani's skill as a metal sculptor laid dormant until three years ago. "My wife, Lucille, and Theresa Williams,

Section Head of Records Inquiry, are my inspirations," he said. "They encouraged me to start working once again on my metal sculptures."

Now Pulciani finds it difficult to keep up with the constant requests for "personalized" sculptures from admiring friends . ''I'll take the person's main characteristic or a comic approach to their profession and portray this in the sculpture," he said.

"For example, if a person was a doctor I would have him injecting a patient with a syringe twice the size of the patient's body. A sculpture can be made of anybody doing anything-a lawyer, a witch on a broomstick, even a man flying a kite ."

The mobiles, sculptures with movable parts, are the most fascinating of all Pulciani's work. Some exhibit the fine sense of balance of their creator. One piece is of a weightlifter holding a gigantic barbell over his head. When placed upon a metal pedestal, the lifter swivels back and forth, always drawing perilously close to the edge-but never quite falling off-as the weight of the barbell pulls the lifter back.

Other mobiles include a baseball player, with a spring for a pelvis, anxiously awaiting the next pitch; two acrobats performing calisthenics on the parallel bars; and a fisherman bobbing up and down while he reels in a fish .

Pulciani sells much of his work at the


annual art and craft shows held throughout the city. "But I don't con Police Officer of the Month sider it ajob," he said. "I prefer to keep it asjust a hobby. I enjoy it very much and the relaxation it brings is refreshing."

How long does it take him to complete one of these works of art? "Give me two hours and 1"11 come up with something," says Tony. "Ofcourse, some ofthe larger pieces, such as the ships, will take as long as eight hours. I have to weld all the pieces together, polish it with a wire brush" and then spray it with a clear lacquer to protect against rusting and to give it that antique look."

The huge metal sculptures of ships Pulciani creates are relatively light because he uses a thin grade of cold-rolled steel "which is almost like working with paper steel." This makes it easy to hang on walls as decorations.

"When you start out, this is a very expensive hobby," said Pulciani. "The tank of acetylene gas and oxygen combined with the torch, necessary for welding, is what makes it costly. The steel and other miscellaneous tools are available anywhere and quite inexpensive.

"One day I hope to teach a course in a

The Police Officer of the Month Award was conferred upon Officer James Schreiner, 15th District, for his courageous actions, without regard for his own personal safety.

During off-duty hours, Schreiner was sitting in a coffee shop on the 5000 block of West North Avenue when he was approached by a person informing him of a suspicious man in a drugstore down the block. The man, an employee of the drugstore, led the officer to the store.

Schreiner observed the suspicious man standing in the rear of the store opposite the drug counter. The officer, so he could better observe the actions of the suspect, started to talk with the store owner. Eventually, the suspect joined in the conversation.

Suddenly, the suspicious man identified himself as a police officer, produced a phony star and identification card and announced a hold-up. The offender then ordered store employees to
