Like many another grocery chain, Cincinnati-based Kroger Co. is usually far too busy stocking its shelves to expend much effort on law enforcement. Yet various forms of larceny are a serious problem (TIME Essay, Sept. 9). The company loses more than $8,000,000 annually from customer shoplifting, employee thefts, and the filching of some 10,000 shopping carts. Deciding that stealing has gone far enough, Kroger's management last week called on one of the U.S.'s top cops for help. Cincinnati's Police Chief Stanley Schrotel, 52, quit his municipal job to become head...
...native of Cincinnati, Schrotel came to the police department during the Depression, went through night law school while in charge of the Identification Bureau, won appointment as chief in 1951 after scoring a phenomenal 99.33% on the promotion exam. During his regime, Schrotel quarantined Cincinnati against the spread of organized crime, prevented gambling and prostitution in Kentucky border towns such as Newport from sweeping across the Ohio River...
...lure Schrotel into private business, Kroger gave him a raise of more than $7,000 above the $18,000 paid him by Cincinnati.

His duties will range from advising management on security policies and investigating major thefts to planning such seemingly simple preventive measures as how to keep a store's back door effectively locked...
...Baldwin would get tired of being second in the concert halls and would try harder to improve its instrument. The result is the piano that sounded so good that day at Town Hall: Baldwin's new model, SD-10. Guided by such consultants as Leonard Bernstein and Cincinnati Symphony Conductor Max Rudolf, Baldwin's experts worked for ten years revamping the instrument's inner parts to increase its reverberation and enhance its timbre. They altered the length, size and layout of the strings, redesigned the bridge, which transmits vibrations from the "speaking length" of the strings...
Died. Charley Dressen, 67, manager of the Detroit Tigers since 1963, a sawed-off (5 ft. 6 in.) onetime third baseman for the Cincinnati Reds, who ate a lot of chile con carne and acted that way, squaring off nose to belt with 6-ft. umpires and peppering his men with insults ("All ballplayers is dumb, but outfielders is the dumbest"), an approach which took him in and out of nine teams as a coach or manager, and somehow gave him two years of glory when he led the Brooklyn Dodgers to pennants in 1952 and 1953; of a heart...
