Police Shift
DuedsCriinneS


Pointing TO a staggering num-
Der of unsolved crimes since JAM
uary /. Police Commissioner Bal
ienger today indicated there will
be a drastic shakeup in the de-
tective bureau.
Confronted by reporters who
asked for comment on the crime
situation in the city, Ballenger
replied
"A study Of conditions in the
detective bureau has indicated
the need for Improvement.
Some changes have been made
within the past go days that
has strengthened the division.
Every effort Is being made
TO bring the department TO a
standard of efficiency which
should eliminate criticism.
steps to the solution OF
these uncleared crimes reported
TO the police will be taken i'm
mediately."
Ballenger noted there has been
a slight decrease in crime over
last year but the unsolved crimes
have increased considerably. The
record since Jan. /:
ROBBERIES-1,079, with 267
solved breaking and entering
homes and dwellings-4,3S0 With
924 solved: larcenies-9, 243, with
1854 solved: larceny from autos
3.l41. with 1877 solved: murders
So, with 49 solved.
Although the murder solution
record appears fair, three out
standing murders of the year re-
manned unsolved. They are the
church murder of Mrs. Jean Long,
the gangland murder of Eddie
SarkeSlan and the shooting last
week of Mrs. Victoria Len as she
left Grace Hospital after visiting
a sick relative.
There have been Tumors for
some time that Chief of Detec-
tiveS Paul B. Wencel would retire
Oct. ! and be succeeded by Chris
Nelson. head of the traffic de-
partment. But Ballenger declined
comment.
