House Judiciary Committee, con-
sideration has been delayed on the
bill to authorize heads of Federal
departments to use "wire-tapping"

The measure would empower the
head of any executive department
to collect evidence by intercepting
telephone, telegraph, radio or other
messages when he has reason to
believe that a felony is being
planned or has been committed.
The use of "wire-t tapping" meth

Perhaps the ability to sort sounds

 Lows, Highs for Year Are Set

Secretary Perkins announced em- ployment and payrolls for April ct Q record high. This was reflected In heavy retail demand for goods. Au- tomobile sales were running at Q record high, according to available statistics. Retail trade rose i7 to 20 per cent over c year ago.
 Automobile production dipped be- cause of the holiday. Car loadings for the May 24 week, reported on Thursday, were the best since io30 at 866,0i7 cars.
 Construction awards rose over the previous week but were under 6 year ago for the first time in many months because of a falling of h federal awards.
 Steel operations dipped to 98.6 per cent of capacity from last weeks 00.0 per cent because few mills observed the Memorial Day holiday. Next weeks operations are expected to snap back to around 100 per cent
 Most war stocks were up on the week. notably aircraft and ship building shares. The former were aided by announcement that PreSt- dent Roosevelt was seeking appro- priation of an additional 8 800, ,000,- : 900 for planes for the army and navy.
 Steels had small gains. Motors were slightly lower. Rails held around last weeks closings. Oils and coppers were firm. Electrical equip- ments and rubbers eased. Utilities rallied after e decline.

This does not mean that there are no more Ger mans in Iraq or that they have not got planes and personnel who will take action against us. But it does mean that so far as Arab participation is concerned the sit- uation has been cleared up. It means the support the Germans gave their partisans was made- quate." -
