enactment Of the communications law
raised the barrier cited in 1887.
The 1887 decision, by a vote of 70
2, was given in reversing the convic-
ton Of four New York alcohol smug-
glers. who had been found guilty prin-
cipelly on evidence obtained when
Federal agents tapped their telephon.
wires.
At the time of the Supreme Court
ruling, cases were pending here against
William Jewboy) Dietz and 81 others
charged with conspiracy to violate Dis
trict gambling laws.
With indictments already obtained,
the then United States attorney, Leslie
c. Garnett announced that prosecu-
ton would be continued, but on Feb
ruary ii Of this year Justice Joseph w.
Cox ruled in District Court that on
the basis of the Nardone decision all
evidence in the Dietz cases obtained
by overlapping must be suppressed.
The cases then were nolle pressed, with
an explanation from United States
Attorney David A. Pine that there
would be no hope Of successful prose-
cution without such evidence.
Because so much of Washington's
illegal gambling is done by telephone,
enactment of the measure now on its
way back to the Senate undoubtedly
would greatly strengthen the hand of
local enforcement agencies. Recent
action making illegal the possession Of
numbers slips also has added to en-
forcement powers.
Needed Weapon Seen.
Commenting today, Mr.. Pine said
final approval of the pending legisla-
ton would restore to the hands Of
prosecutors q very strong and badly
needed weapon, particularly in the
fight against conspiracies and group
crimes.
Lacking a final draft of the legisla-
ton, local attorneys speculated only in
general way about the measure.
They said, however, that there is 4
nice question whether the change in
status will be viewed as a change in
the rule Of evidence, admitting wire
tapping, or whether the prospective
act may be attacked as an ex post
facto law which would be unconstitu-
tional in making something in the past
crime heretofore deemed innocent.
Although passage was effected ves-
terday without delay, Representative
Wolcott, Republican, of Michigan later
scored the measure as the most
vicious piece Of legislation ever writ
ten on the statute books"
The committee report in favor of the
bill not only cited privileges of the
underworld to indulge in unrestricted
use OF communication facilities, but
also stressed the point that not even
the Secret Service under present law
could intercept wire or radio messages,
even though they had reason to be-
lieve a plot was underway to assassi-
nate a President.

In Favor of "Huzzahs"
Cincinnati Enquirer


An excellent opportunity for saving some money
in the operation of the Federal Government suggests
itself in the War Department report that the armys
official military salutes cost s12450O annually
The official schedule of military salutes looks as
if it might have been compiled by munitions manu-
facturer Originally perhaps it was because the
United States merely follows world custom in the
number and scope of military salutes
The Fourth of July calls for a national salute of
10 guns the intent Of which is to honor the states
but the effect of which is blow up lot of expensive
ammunition and she-shock the neighborhood
Twenty one-gun salutes prescribed for the
President of the United States former Presidents the
Chief Magistrate, sovereign OF a foreign country,
or member of royalty Statutes of 10 guns called
for in honor of American foreign Ambassadors, the
Vice President, High Commissioner or other dipo-
matte officers of equal rank. Generals. the Chief
of Staff and former Chiefs of Staff of the armies
receive salutes of II guns. Fifteen guns boom forth
in official honor of the Vice Governor of the Phili-
ppines American and foreign ENJOYS and ministers
and Lieutenant Generals
Going on down the list we find Major Generals
and American foreign Ministers Resident receive
sautes of 10 guns; American or foreign Charges
dAffaires Consuls General and Brigadier Generals
are entitled to II guns; Consuls accredited Il the
United States receive seven guns, and Vice Consuls
get five guns.
The scope Of the cannon booming can be appre-
ciated from the fact that the sautng custom applies
officially throughout the world. At this very moment
at the port of Lagos in Nigeria, the chest of Vice
Consul may be swelling with pride he is rowed out
to meet an American gunboat midst the booming of
the fiye-gun salute cue him.
1t would seem that this is one form of disarma-
ment upon which all OF the nations of the world could
get together Five "huzzahs' would be a desirable
substitute for five guns, and so up the list 1t
would be easier both upon the ears and the tax
payers pocketbooks.
