WIRES TAPPED


Federal and local police previ-
ously had tapped wires leading
into the offices and had made
stenographic copies Of converse
tions.
Justice Cox's opinion centered
entirely upon his Interpretation Of
section sos Of the Federal COM
munications act, which states:
"That no person not being
authorized by the sender shall
intercept any communication
and divulge or publish such
intercepted communication to
any person"
A month ago in the Nardone
case the United States Supreme
Court ruled unconstitutional the
introduction of evidence in trial
courts obtained through wire-tap-
ping in interstate cases.
GOVERNMENT CLAIM
Assistant United States Attorney
Roger Robb, in charge Of the prose
cution, argued the Supreme Court
ruling did not affect purely intra-
state wire-tapping, which was
ruled constitutional by that court
in 1928. The evidence in the case,
he contended, was based entirely
upon communications made within
the District.
Justice Cox decision said:
ION its face the Nordone de-
cision accepts the broad Ian
guage of this provision as direc-
ton to exclude evidence OBJ
tanned through interception Of
telephone messages by wire-tap-
ping"
He said Congress clearly In
tended the District to be included
when legislating for the nation in
prohibiting wire-tapping.
Shortly after the ruling David A.
Pine, acting United States at
torney, said:
This does not result in q
I final judgment upon the indict-
ment from which an appeal can
be TAKEN"

from the West Coast, which, We admit,
is q question. Anyhow it seems Miss
Powell has decided. and this depart
ment for one heartily agrees that it is
high time to put an end to the big
apple.
The big apple craze, says Eleanor,
has gone too far, so she has launched
her campaign to stop 1t In so dancing
groups throughout the country, in
which she has friends. One Powell
complaint against all these good, old
fashioned clambakes in the middle Of
otherwise respectable dance floors Is
that the big apple is limited to dancers
between 16 and 26 and takes up too
much room. Chief grievance is that
"all dancing should have grace and
dignity. which the big apple has not" I"
Barnee of the Shoreham please copy.
So now Eleanor Powell as crusader
assumes proportions as great as those
of Crusader Phil Regan. At the merry
orange juice fiesta Phil tossed yester-
day at the Variety Club he was more
interested in where is vaudeville going
than in anything else, but one time he
had crusade. Maybe he still does.
Once, at any rate. he was enlisting
all Hollywoods singers in campaign
to put an end to voice clubbing, to
have singing stars in singing roles.

cornered a certain star outside the
