FOI III IISA IAI II OI IIIAISII IS IIA IIS ISISISH IIIS SISA SHERLOCK HOLMES By MARION BURSON | AP Features. CHICAGO, Jan. 27.—The IIli- |nois state police are bringing } scientific crime detection to small- er communities with a mobile lab- oratory and emergency unit that can be rushed to the scene before i the evidence gets cold. Mounted on a truck chassis and resembling a highway bus, the 16- ton laboratery is another achieve- ment of Leonarde Keeler, Chi- cago criminologist and inventor of the lie detector. The unit, built at a cost of $25,000, is better equipped than many police depart- ments, said Keeler, and its ser- vices are free to city and county officials. It is fitted out with such induce- ments for suspects to “tell all” as a lie detector, sound recording cauipment, fingerprint kit and chemicals for nitrate and blood- n tests, restoration of numbers on metals and analysis of unknown substances. There are magnifying! glasses and’ motion fictiire and’ other cameras, a re- _fractometer, an ultra-violet jQlack light) lamp, equipment for mak- | ing plaster molds and an X-ray ‘unit carrying a 200-foot extension for examining suspected bombs at ja safe distance. Used For Riots Although developed primarily to give local ‘police assistance in solving crimes, the big blue and {white van has been equipped for | disaster and riot service, and Gov. ' Dwight H. Green has called it an “invaluable” safeguard against | sabotage. # It has powerful searchlights to illuminate the ‘scene of a train wreck, mine disaster or similar catastrophe; an emergency elec- tric power station and radio trans- mitter; fire extinguishers, exten- |$ion ladder and hose; asbestos i suits, fire blankets and stretchers; acetylene torches for cutting ‘through wreckage; and oxygen ‘masks and resuscitation equipment | for eseue Work. 1""in the red of the triék’is a!hos- | pital where'two operations can be performed simultaneously, com- plete with surgical tools and sup- plies. ‘Cotiteins Combat Unit A combat unit which Keeler says ‘is “tough enough -to handle anything ‘short of an army tank” has an arsenal of standard police ‘ weapons.
