Science lab to fight crime proposed by Argonne chief
Dr. Albert V. Crewe, head of Argonne National Laboratory, urged a national crime laboratory costing about 50 million dollars with a 20 million per year operating budget. The facility would use a nuclear reactor for trace analysis and a giant computer to file and compare fingerprints, potentially identifying suspects from a much larger, detailed database. He noted current methods lag behind modern technology and cited a Chicago burglary case where reactor analysis linked brass traces to a suspect. Crewe spoke at a State University of Iowa seminar with 13 other scientists on topics including life origins and pollution.
