Campanella a Surprise.
Dorsey Griffith, c. U. coach, turned
loose his first surprise of the out

California was the first State to
protect striped bass in manner
that permits no evasion by COM
mercial interests. The protection
is accomplished by no-Sale law.
Anglers there have as fine sport
fishing as it is possible to find
because of this law.
Maine has a similar law, and Jer-
sey sportsmen are in the midst OF
a drive to make the striped bass a
game fish in their State. In Mary
land, however, the srriper is food
fish. Whether its status ever is
changed depends solely upon the
anglers of this section.
This species should be protected
In MARYLAND waters more than any
other place along the Atlantic
Coast, for it is Chesapeake Bay
broods that supply the other States
with their stocks of striped bass.
Delaware Limits Season.
The present Jersey law governing
the taking of rockfish provides for a
closed season from March to May
81 in all fresh and salt waters and
offshore for a distance of 3 nau-
tical miles. There is a minimum
size limit of 18 inches, and meters
are permitted to fish from Decem-
Der | to February %.
This appears to be adequate pro-
lection. yet SportSmen's organlza-
tions are asking for Mosaic law,
and they are supported by many
other civic groups.
With good reason, for the best
seasons return to commercial men
only $4,000 to $4,000 for catches
totaling several hundred thousand
pounds. Sportsmen annually spend
an estimated $50,000,000 to enjoy
their fishing along Jersey beaches,
go it is not difficult to understand
why they hope striped bass even
tually will become a game fish there.
Chesapeake Bay with Shorellne
of 300 miles produces annually ap-
proximately 100000 pounds OF
striped bass. with a value to COM
mercial interests of $150,000. If the
bass were made a game fish IN

Makes Series Debut
In Tilt Tomorrow
With Roosevelt
Bob Hill, Transferred
From Slab, Expected
To Star at First
By GEORGE HUBER.

A fellow who was a flop as left
handed pitcher last year may make
the difference between a losing and
winning baseball team at Central
High this year, where the Vikings
are set to begin defense of their
sChoolboy title against Roosevelt to-
morrow.
Bob Hill, 16-year-old junior, has
been moved by Coach Jack Ray from
the slab to first base. He'll be the
best first baseman in the series, Ray
promises, taking into consideration
such lads as Howard Keithley at
Tech, Don Hillock at Wilson, and
Bob Leach, Western captain, all of
whom do more than a fair Job of
ball playing.
The shift makes Central so per
cent better than it was when prac-
tice began several weeks ago, because
in the words of Coach Ray, Il have
three ball players noW-Hill. Di
BlaSi and Lagos" Sam Di Blasi at
third and zellos Lagos. catcher,
were the only real veterans of any
ability on the Central team until Hill
was shifted from the mound.
Hits Fence at 400 Feet.
AS pitcher last year he had no
control and almost gave up, but he
could hit, so Ray tried him at first
with happy results.
His hitting ability was demon
strated in the game with George
Washington High on Tuesday. He
smacked triple that Travelled 400
feet and bounced off a fence. In
almost any place else except the
spacious G. w. stadium it would
have been a homer.
Even with Hill adding uneXpect-
ed punch and defensive ability to
the team, Central still has many
problems facing it in the title race.
Main one is lack of practice. The
schools own diamond is undergo
ing a face-lifting, and the Vik-
ings have been able to get work
outdoors at only odd intervals. Ex-
actly five sessions have been held
outside the gym. These have been
on the Ellipse diamonds. Ray has
been having a hard time obtain
ing permits because the public fields
are supposed to be used only for
actual games.
Concentrate on Batting.
The few practice sessions the
Vikings have held have been de-
voted to batting. because Ray rea-
sons that team that can hit can
beat a defensive outfit four times
out Of five.
In addition to Hill, Lagos and Di
Blasi (there they are again) are
the only ones demonstrating real
power at the plate so far. Lack of
practice is the reason others are
tagging.
The pitching load will be car
ried by Arron WeiSenberg and Har-
ry Wolfe, both newcomers to the
team. Charles Kligman, who was
expected to be the No. l hurler
because of his experience last year,
Is dropping to the No. 3 slot.

Legal Wire-1apping
To Combat 4 Crimes
Offenders Hove All
The Advantage Now,
Attorney General Says
BY J. A. FOX.

Reiterating belief that wire-tap-
ping is necessary weapon in crime
detection, Attorney General jack
son today recommended that 1t be
legalized in connection with four
offenses-espionage, sabotage, kid
naping and eXtortion-but employed
only when specifically authorized by
the Attorney General.
Mr.. Jackson's recommendation was
contained in q letter to Chairman
Summers of the House Judiciary
Committee, in which he answered
criticism that has been stirred by
pending overlapping legislation and
emphasized that he is well aware
of the dangers" of its uncontrolled
use.
On the other hand, my present
concern is With the very practical
work of protecting decent citizens,
and indeed the Nation itself against
criminals, spies and saboteurs," he
declared.
Interestingly, the Attorney Gen
eral revealed that the department
recently was prepared to resort to
wire-tapping in a California kid
naping case, although he pointed
out that the evidence obtained could
not have been used in court. While
he did not identify the case, it pre-
sumably involved the kidnapping of
little Marc de Tristan, who later was
rescued.
Wire-Tapping Itself No Crime.
Explaining at the outset of his
letter, the Attorney General said
he hoped to clarity the discussion
that wire-tapping legislation had
aroused, particularly insofar as it
relates to the repeated charge that
the use of this device is an invasion
of the right of privacy.
There is no Federal statute that
prohibits or Furnishes overlapping
alone" Mr.. Jackson said. The only
offense under the present law is to
intercept any communications and
divulge or publish the same. Any
person with no risk of penalty may
tap telephone wires and eavesdrop

Ndnaper and it might be equally
decisive in clearing an innocent per-
son who might be unfortunate
enough to be under suspicion" he
said.
At that point In the case, he con-
tinued, j. Edgar Hoover, head of the
Bureau Of Investigation, conferred
with him and they discussed the ad-
visibility OF mechanically recording
the expected telephone conversation
even though it could not be used as
evidence and, Mr.. Jackson added
"of course, I directed Mr.. Hoover
to put a recording device on that
line"
However, he added, the child was
rescued before the telephone mes
sage materialized.

man or others and act upon what he
hears or make any use of 1t that
does not involve divulging or publi-
cation.
ITO use evidence obtained by wire
tapping for the protection Of society
against criminals often requires that
it be divulged in open court. 1t is
this divulging in law enforcement
that court decisions hold to violate
the statute. The courts do not stop
people from tapping wires--no one
has ever been or under present law
could be convicted OF that by itself.
What has been stopped Is the use of
the evidence TO enforce the law
against criminals.
Criminals Enjoy Free Hand.
Criminals today nave the free
run of our communications system,
but law enforcement officers are de-
MED even carefully restricted pow
er to confront the criminal with his
telephone and Geographic foot
prints. Unless We can use modern
scientific means to protect society
against the organized criminal
movements o fthe underworld, the
public cannot look to its law en-
forcement agancies for the protec-
tion it has right to expect.
Legislation should not only make
clear the rights of law enforcement
officers and their limitations as well
but might very wisely put an end to
private or public wire-tapping which
unless accompanied by divulging, is
now permitted"
