WALK DOWN ALL YOUR SIDE STREETS

through the raucous stone jungle of the city's backwash - and you'll meet her.

The delinquent. And hundreds like her, roaming the pavements in aggressive knots, schooled on reefers, zip guns, gutter rumbles.

At fifteen they are women, hard and cynical beyond their years, openly contemptuous of the law, eager for the glamour of the big-time ways of violence.

the lucky ones get caught, maybe in time.

The smell of stale bedrooms and warm gin hovered over that whole section of town. The women, even the young girls, walked a certain way, looked at men in a certain way.

There was a drifting threat of violence everywhere, and the kids of the neighborhood knew all about knives, garrison belts and bicycle chains long before they were pushed into high school by weary truant officers.

The Teen-Age Mafia was known secretly to its members as PACHUCO

"PACHUCO girls-hopped-up sexpots who brawl, steal and kill like men-are syndicating crime, working their way into juvenile gang leadership from coast to coast." - From the magazine FOR MEN ONLY

"PACHUCO, a teen-age crime club dedicated to violence, stretches across the nation. Unless its back is broken it will become a greater power than the Mafia." - From the magazine TEEN-AGE JUNGLE

"Only one thing can stop the upsweep of PACHUCO-a glare of publicity. Pachuco is a cult that demands an identifying mark, easily recognizable to its membership. As long as Pachuco is kept under wraps, it's a perfect setup. But once the public, law enforcement agencies, judges and juries know what the Pachuco cross means, Pachuco hasn't got a chance. It's going to be too dangerous to sport the Pachuco cross once law abiding citizens recognize the threat it poses."
