rs Who Kill.
By STANLEY BAITZ

A'A wheel" is what Police
1t. william J. Liverman calls
people who kill other people
with automobiles.
If he sounds harsh it is not
surprising, for death on the
highway has been his concern
for IA years. As chief of the
Accident Investigation Unit,
he probably has poked into
more fatal and injury-produc-
ing auto mishaps than any
body else in the District.
The Accident Investigation
Unit Is q 40-man agency, or
ganized in 1910 by Inspector
Arthur e. Miller and specially
trained to collect data on Sc
rious accidents. the purpose
being to find out who caused
the accident and to collect the
necessary evidence against
the guilty party.
Each of six areas of the city
is patrolled by an AIU car "a
hours a day. Any report of a
serious traffic accident Is re-
layed by radio to the nearest
AIU car. which speeds to the
scene. The investigators seek
to find out who was at fault.
They take photographs of the
scene. interview witnesses and
drivers, test brakes. make
measurements and diagrams.
The Investigators look into
about $50 cases q month,
which boils down to three and
a half cases per car per day.
Actually. the Districts acci-
dent rate Is higher. but this
unit is concerned only with
the more serious cases. For
instance, in September l,O29
accidents were reported to
police, but the AIU investi-
gated only SIS.
Sometimes the investiga-
tions depart from the routine,
and the AIU winds up bag
ging a murderer. One morn
ing, about four years ago, the
body of a man, apparently a
traffic victim, was found In
an alley near Eighteenth and
Kenyon streets NV.
I'VE had reason to believe
there was more to 1t than
traffic." says 1t. Liverman.
For one thing the mans
pockets were turned inside
out, as though he had been
robbed. and for another his
body appeared to have been
rolled back and forth under
the wheels of an automobile.
We interviewed hundreds of
people living within a radius
of blocks from the scene, but
got no information. About
a month later we got a clue
which we ran down. We ar
rested two men. One was
shown to have picked up the
victim and taken him out
where he robbed and killed
him. He was convicted of Sec
ond-degree murder; the other
was acquitted"

was possibly the most colorful in
Chicago. Truckloads of baWling
cattle rolled past as he spoke
at the corner where the United
clearinghouse Workers of Amer
lea (CIO) first organized the
StockyardS workers.
The thousands of workers,
with only half hour for lunch,
munched sandwiches as the full,
rolling voice filled the dusty
lanes of Americas slaughtering
center.
Enthusiastic response greeted
his songs: Joe Hill" Water
Boy" "Old Man River"
II was the same spontaneous
roar of approval which two pre-
Vious audiences had given him.
More than 100 s-eelwOrkers
and their families, drawn to the
auditorium of COrliss High
School in the AIt~eld Gardens
housing project on the Far South
SIDE by the SteelwOrkers for
Wallace and Taylor, had shaken
tho jam-packed hall with their
applause.
And later some 400 persons
had given the famous progress
Sive standing ovation when he
addressed them in the DISABLE
Community Center, 49th n d
Wabash, under the auspices of
the National Railroad Labor
Committee for Wallace and Tay-
lor.
Other candidates who spoke
with Robson at one of the three
meetings included Sam Parks,
ex-president of the Wilson local
of UPWA and nominee for SAM
tary district trustee; Grant
Cakes, candidate for governor;
Sidney Ordower, nominee for
Congress from the 9th district;
and Oscar Brown, Jr., candidate

MRS. PAULINE KIGH REED,
candidate for secretary of state:
