 of Method

WASHINGTON, March 18.-At- torney General. Jackson has banned all future use of wire tapping by agents of the Federal Investigation Bureau
 The crder followed an attack by the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee on unidentified govern ment Investigators accused of ire sponsible use of telephone wire tap ping.
 The F. B. l. has used the practice as a means of gathering leads in certain types of criminal cases un- der a Justice Department order of long standing.
 Chief G-Man Hoover has empha- sized that wire tapping was never used to gather evidence directly for introduction in court but served only as means of gathering infor- nation needed to find legally com petent evidence. The Supreme Court has drowned on wire tapping even by police officers and has over ruled convictions based on wire tap ping evidence.
