JENNINGS HEAD

NAV have felt very noble when it decided, two to
one, that intrastate tapping of telephone wires
is okay perfectly legal but its decision is another
nail in the coffin of personal liberty in America.
It is, moreover, decision which does not look
very pleasant in light Of the creeping tentacles
of Federal and State bureaucracies into almost
every nook and Granny of Americas daily life.
FOretaste of Future?
It seems to me that citizen has a right to
privacy in a phone conversation just as much
as he has the right to write letter to friend
without some oozy-fingered politician prying into
his mail. If it can be shown by genuine police
agency that tap is used for the apprehension
OF a criminal or criminals, there may be reason
able justification-but the Boston Federal Courts
decision sets the blue sky as the limit on wire
tapping within State borders, affording legal pro-
lection to every long-eared public jobholder who
wants to stick his ear to the telephone to hear
what's going on.
II strikes me that the Boston courts decision
gives pungent foretaste of what we may ex'
pect "if, as and when the privately owned utili-
ties Of America are taken over by the State and
Federal politicians. Certainly the telephone COM
panies are not yet owned by politicians, and
listening in on private conversations no
crminality is invoved-is tampering with private
property and gross invasion Of personal liberty.
That's what they do in Germany. The only
liberty an individual of the Fatherland has left
is to think to himself, and then he mustn't think
too loudly in case one of HitlerS "Nightshirts"
hears him!
The Washington times., 1938-02-05
Says Boake Carter

The trend in American official life has been
drifting slowly in the same treacherous direc-
ton. Snide attacks on the press from high quar-
ters because some Of the editorial writer's don't
see fit to sell their journalistic integrity for
bucket Of whitewaSh, have been q common occur
renee in the last IL months.
Cases Are Cited
There is the famous telegramseizure of the
Black Investigating Committee in a previous
session Of Congress; the keeping of private
dossiers by little cabinet" officers on newspaper
men who don't write right; the censorship
which Is subtly hidden in the pending Govern
ment Reorganization Bill; the pubcizing Of
salaries for the edification of "suckerlst" sales
men-and snoopish neighbors; the "sicking' of
Treasury agents onto citizens who may have
to see what can be shaken out of their previ-
Gus years incometax returns; and so on down
list as long as your arm.
BY and large, it would seem we have plenty
to do right here at home on the matter of pres
ervation Of liberty and freedom Of discussion.

these lines? They contain pungent moral for

BUSINESS MEET
.ENVOYS CHOSEN
FROM LETTERS
White House Selects
Names From Hat
BY EARL GOODWIN

No doubt President Roosevelt
was surprised and a little hurt,
that the press of the country.
should have ridiculed some of the
antics of the oldest of the visitors
at the conference of small busi-
ness men. But one reason for
that was the manner in which
the delegates to the convention
we're chosen.
1t was by no means hand
picked. Had it been, there Is no
doubt it would have staged a con-,
servative well-behaved party.
NAMES TAKEN FROM HAT
But a large number of visitors
were men who have been writing
letters to Presidents and letters
to editors all their lives. Letter
writer's names were picked from
a hat; and among those thus
chosen were several who are
noted at home for being q trifle
"pyxilated.
They came a thousand strong
and had ten thousand ideas,
which Immediately became vocal.
Most of the ideas were anti.
administration; but most of the
individuals were and are for
Roosevelt.
They like him-but think he is
surrounded by a gang of knaves
who are selling him out!
1t became apparent within five
minutes after the meeting opened
that there was going to be no
control of that group. The noise
makers had control at first: and
there is reason to believe that
in the New York delegation, at
least, were several noiSe-makers
who were making noise on pur-
pose.
CONSPIRACY CHARGED
They were, it is charged, part
of a conspiracy to break up the
part.
Many of the resolutions will
never be considered by this Ad-
mlnistration, such as the proposal
to scrap the Wagner labor act.
Many publicists here say that
Little Business did a swell Job.
1t had three-ring circus all right
but the performers, acrobats,
clowns, tight-rope walkers and
budget balancers-all managed
to tell the country ALL that bust
ness wants.
Even down to the lone Florida
editor whose sole contribution was
the resolution expressing the hope
that the American eagle should
light somewhere"

With two of her children sick,
no food in the house and no funds,
Mrs. Cole has been putting up a
valiant fight to keep her babies
fed and to ward off possible need
for medical care.
FAILS TO RETURN
Her husband, a collector for a
Washington clothing store, left
home to go to work early Tuesday
morning. 1t was a much-needei
pay day and he had promised to
return early, bringing groceries
and a pair of shoes for Kenneth
jr., aged 2. He failed to return.
Mr.. Coles employer, who is also
aiding in the search, told police
that Cole had made some collec-
tions Tuesday evening, but that
amounted to less than $1OO. Mrs.
Cole fears her husband may be
the victim of foul play.
"NUMBERS" REPORT
1t was reported earlier that Cole
had. 'hit the numbers" for so
cents, which would have given
him nearly 5000. Mrs. Cole, how
ever, says her husband quit play
ing the numbers four months ago
when he hit for Is cents and the
runner failed to pay off.
Mrs. Cole told police that al
though her husband had been
worried over financial troubles for
several weeks. she does not believe
he would leave home knowing the
babies were sick and that there
was no one to whom she could
turn for help.
Cole, a native of Ohio, was in
the Marines nine years, stationed
at the Paris Island Navy Yard.
