Brockmeier Secretary October 29,1974 By Bud Farrar Lindsay-Schaub News Servlca Kenilworth Bank officials, coriwratlon executives, top media executives and assorted millionaire? live in some of the estates hers in Kenilworth Chicagoland urbanoloist Pierre de Vise calls it "Chicago's No. 1 status suburb." The me.

dian income level here was $34,609 in 1970 It is the richest town around. A young man came to tha door of a particularly large, plush Keniiworth house to answer a reporter's unusual question "Kidnaping?" He paused. "No, I haven't seen any in- concern lately." Ha held back a huge, barking police dog that might have devoured a reporter had it not been for a closed screen door. "Everybody's always concerned about security here," ha said. The dog lunged at the screen.

"That's what 1 mean." Some private security agencies report increased requests from prominent people for bodyguard service. Burglar alarm sales are up. The Chicago division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has just finished a series of seminars to instruct local police on how to deal with a kidnaping case. One might have guessed this headquarters village wealthy Illmoisans would be shaking in its alligator shoes after the recent wave of kid- nitiings. There was no indication of it from a dozen or so residents intei viewed, but others say the concern is below the surface.

A middle-aged housewife spoke through the screen door of another large house. "Oh, there a a lot of talk right after Patty Hearst was kidnaped but it didn't make any difference in my life," she said "You can wake up every morning and think of a million things to be afraid of, particularly when you're raising a family But you can't Ine your life that way." A woman leaned out a second story window of one Kenilworth home and unceremoniously shouted to her visitor in the front yard. "Who'd want to kidnap me?" she asked. "God help me, it they'd kidnap my kids oh, would be lovely." Several of the Kenilworth residents interviewed suggested we talk to one person they considered especially kidnap-prone because of his position as president of one the largest Chicago i But even he expressed no extraordinary concern. "I'm sorry I can't help you with your story," he said.

"I just haven't taken any precautions." He said kidnaping and violence "haven't changed my life at all. I still have to come to work every day." The FBI reports a "dramatic- resurgence" in kidnapmgs re- centh Kidnap convictions nationwide totaled 96 in the year ending June 30, an increase of 35 per cent over the year before. There have been more than 80 kidnapings since January this year, including the FBI's best-known unsohed case: Patricia Hearst Since the newspaper heiress was dragged kicking and screaming Irom her San Francisco apartment Feb. 4, kidnaping has become what the FBI calls "a fashionable crime." But the biggest worry of Kenilworth's recently appointed police chief is vandalism. "These kids just don't respect other people's property anymore," said Chief Vernon Roddy.

He scoffed at the FBI's suggestion that local police de- pal tments keep a file of background information description, license number, phone number, etc. of the community's prominent ana kidnap- prone Individuals, lo save Investigation time in case one is abducted. "Heck," Roddy said, "we'd have to file everybody that lives here He said more people are installing residential burgla? alarms that are monitored in police department headquarters. The system was put in soon after Sen. Charles Percy's daughter, Valery, was murdered at the Percys' Kenilworth home in 1966.

Burglar alarm companies ill other parts of the state say their sales are up, spurred by an increase in property thefts'. "In times like these, people are going to eat somehow," said Gary Doemelt of Doemelt Alarm Services in Arcola, near Decatur. Doemelt said it's not only wealthy who buy home burglary alarms. "I've sold them, to some people who I didn't think could afford to pay a light bill. I've even sold them on time payments," he said.

"A lot of people are scared." But one North Shore resident, who says he isn't wealthy yet knows wealthy people, said it would be a waste of time looking for evidence of fear among the rich. "These people have always lived with precautions," hu said "They don't advertise their wealth I know one family that you could never tell is worth $50 or S60 million by looking at their home "The one thing they've been advised to do is never to talk to the papers They make a profession of avoiding tha press." This reliable observer of the wealthy suggested there maybe crime that the public never hears about. "The police cooperate with the wealthy in a conspiracy of silence," he said. "The newspapers lean over backwards to help. Even if they learn about a crime it often goes unreported Art Belanger, editor of Pioneer Press, Ine which publishes weekly newspapers for several North Shore communities, said he will cooperate with authorities if they ask him to keep a kidnaping case quiet for a while to protect the tim, as happened in a 1973 Chicago-area case.

But all major crime cases are eventually reported, he said. "We do try to make these things as easy as possible on the victim," Belanger said "In the case of burglary, for instance, we don't publish the victim's name or address." Ashley Burner of International Security Services, the nation's second largest private security agency, said more bankers and corporation executives are asking for bodyguard service and home alarm systems-. Burner said his company last year conducted a seminar for Itinational corporations titled "Protecting Businessmen Overseas." "We were concerned about terrorism in Argentina and South Africa. Since the Hearst kidnaping, the focus switched to this country," Burner said. "We've changed the seminar title to 'Executive The Burns "Executive Protection Handbook" is now in its second printing, after having sold more than 5,000 copies.

The handbook begins- "Protection against terrorism is not a course taught at business MOSTACCIOLI ST. BONIFACE NOV. 10 MOSTACCIOLI ST. BONIFACE NOV. 10 MOSTACCIOLI ST.

BONIFACE NOV. 10 MOSTACCIOLI schools. Perhaps it ought to be." The handbook's main sug gestton is for executives adopt an "unplanned pattern ol living," Burner said. "An awful lot of people get into the habit of doing the same things with unbroken regularity. We say don't go to the bank, on the same day each week.

Don't drive the same route to the office every day not done on the spur-of-the-moment, but are long-planned things," Burner said. "Kidnapers study their proposed victim for quite some time." The FBI includes this and Other kidnap prevention recommendations in the material it gives out during seminars for Illinois police, 15 of which have been conducted foi the state's 18 northernmost counties recently. FBI authorities won't discuss their recommendations to police for dealing with a kid- naping "Criminals read tha papers," one agent remarked, One example was offered, however. Police should always use an unmarked car when going to the scene of a reported kidnaping The kidnaper might still be in the vicinity. The FBI is more involved in solving crimes than in preventing them.

But Joseph Ziel, special agent in charge of tha 84-county Springfield FBI division, emphasizes the two functions got hand-in-hand. "The best deterrent against kidnaping is quick arrest and vigorous prosecution," he said. His message: Kidnaping a federal offense, and the FBI gets its man or woman. Of the some 80 federal kid- naping cases that have occurred since Januaiy, the FBI has apprehended 65 of the kidnapers. When the FBI charges anybody, it makes the stick.

Ninety-six per cent of the 14,465 persons the FBI took to court in fiscal 1973 were convicted, Ziel said. "When theie is a kidnaping, we put on a 'full court press'," Ziel said. "A kidnaping case receives more priority than any other case in the bureau because there is a victim involved. We can possibly save the life of the victim."

The FBI was called in shortly after the child's disappearance was reported. Ziel and 20 other FBI agents workied on the case full time for the next three weeks. "We covered everything that was logical," Ziel said. "We developed leads In other parti of the country The FBI's teletype communication network aids in solving kidnap cases.

During the summer, regional bureaus traced leads in Ohio, Michigan, Montana, Washington and New York, Sept. 17, a man in New Orleans, recognized Atch- isoti's picture on an FBI "wanted" poster a'nd notified authorities. The FBI traced Atchison from New Orleans to Houston, Tex. Sept. 19, Houston FBI agents located Kimberly Gossett in a house where she had been left while Atchison was working as a soda distributor.

Later that afternoon, Atohison was arrested. Kimberly was soon returned to joyful parents in Belleville. Atchisou is awaiting trial. Ziel won't furnish specific details of how the FBI solved the Gossett ease until after Atchison's trial He said that in general, however, kidnaping is a difficult crime to commit successfully. "Usually there in some element the criminal has overlooked in planning," he said.

"And a kidnaper can never know when 80-year-old woman who sits knitting all day in a rocking chair will one day jot down a suspicious license number."
