For Police Mot Pulk

Deep in the shadows of the Loop, Chicagoans took a startled look last fortnight at a 16-ton crime bus, the like of which had never been seen by cop or criminal. This mobile fort, laboratory, hospital and riot car combined was designed for the Illinois State Police by Thomas Peter Sullivan, director of Public Safety, and Leonarde Keeler, developer of the lie detector.

The armor-plated monster (eleven feet high, seven feet wide and almost as long as a freight car) can speed 60 miles per hour to the scene of crime, riot or disaster. For use when it gets there it has every kind of equipment the ingenious inventors could think of:

>For serious trouble--machine guns firing from a four-foot turret; an arsenal of tommy guns, shotguns, rifles, side arms.

> For on-the-spot detective work--a lie detector, blood-analysis equipment, still-and motion-picture outfits complete with darkroom, devices for examining explosive packages.

> For first aid and even major operations --an emergency hospital with Xray, oxygen tanks, anesthesia, beds, an operating table.

> For emergency rescue work--a collapsible boat, diving helmets, asbestos suits.

> For communication--two-way radio, short-wave radio, standard telephone, "walkie-talkies" for its own crew working outside the bus, a superstentorian loudspeaker.
