Caption: GREEN WAS the color Monday for Police Commissioner Johannes F. Spreen in more way than one. William Gershenson, president of the Hotel Pontchartrain, presented Spreen with this wire-mesh "shamrock" laden with dollar bills for Spreen's "Back Up Your Police Force" campaign. The money was contributed by hotel employes. Spreen also received $81 from a group of sixth-grade students at St. Agnes' School, Twelfth and LaSalle Gardens. The youngsters had raised the money by putting on an "Irish Minstrel Show" at the school.
The front and back of this photograph are pictured below.
