Special Dispatch to The Star.
FALLS CHURCH, Va, Jan. IL
The Falls Church auxiliary police
force has performed its first war
task at the call of the War De-
partment-guarding the transfer OF
dynamite
The call, giving little specific in
formation, said dynamite was being
transferred to Fairfax County and
asked that the force guard all
bridges. The men worked all night
watching bridges and patrolling
roads. Later they were told the
Army "had the situation in hand
Who was transferring the dyna-
mite or where they were taking it
was not disclosed.
To help the work of the force, the
Town Council has voted $500 ap-
preparation to purchase such equip
ment as steel helmets, raincOats and
galoshes. The steel helmets are
needed, it was explained, because
the War Department has defined
the Falls Church area as danger
zone from spent anti-aircraft fire.
In requesting the funds, Mayor
B. N. Gibson praised the force Of 81
men.
A permanent guard of the towns
water supply soon will be instituted,
Ces)t. Harry Statham of the unit
said. Calls for assistance should be
made to the Falls Church police
station.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 14.-Evi-
dence procured by wire tapping is
not prohibited in Maryland courts
either by the Federal Constitution
or by the Federal Communications
Act, the Maryland Court OF Appeals
has ruled.
The decision, handed down by
Judge Edward S. Delaplaine yester-
day, upheld the convictions OF Ed
ward Leon, Ceval Neal and Francis
Schussle, charged with bookmaking
in a downtown Baltimore ONCE
building
TT is true" Judge Delaplaine said,
"that 1t Is q criminal ohense IN
MARYLAND =. for any person
connected with a telegraph or tele-
phone company to divulge the con-
tents or nature of any message.
But evidence obtained by means
of wire tapping is not made inad-
missible by the Bouse Act because
it does not make any reference to
the interception of wire communica-
tions.
The three Baltimoreans convicted
of bookmaking contended that q
search warrant was issued police
without probable cause but was is
sued after telephone wires were
tapped by police.
