...Northwest Indiana Crime Commission, a private organization, has sporadically attempted to clean up the county, but has been hampered by a low budget and the obvious indifference of local and state officialdom. Commission Director Elmer C.

With a rising crime rate (the FBI reports forcible rape up 7%), and U.S. women arming themselves with gas pellets, cattle prods, sirens and penknives, Portland police decided such implements were useless without rudimentary training in self-defense. Moreover, once instructed a woman could actually protect herself with no more than the normal contents of her purse. Portland Police Academy Captain William Taylor announced a free training course for women, expected about 50 candidates, found himself swamped with 500 applications in two days...
