Mr.. Fly Should Co to Albany

There is reason to doubt that James
Lawrence Fly, former member OF the
Federal Communications Commission, Will
get very far with his latest anti-wire-
tapping move The arguments which he
has presented in urging Federal investi-
CATION of police and private wire tapping
in New York City are the same ones
he has been advancing for long time,
without success. Mr.. Flys well-known
views on wire-tapping legality are at vari-
ance with those of the Supreme Court
and of several Attorneys General.
Mr.. Fly, in presenting to Attorney Cen
eral Clark a petition by the New York
County Criminal Courts Bar Association,
told reporters that wire tapping is "a clear
violation" of both the Constitution and
the FEC Act of 1884. But the Supreme
Court has held otherwise on both counts.
In the Olmstead case the court, by a
four -to-five vote, ruled that tapping of
wires violated neither the Fourth Amend
ment against unreasonable search and
seizure nor the Fifth Amendment against
self-incrimination. And In the Nardone
case the court held only that information
obtained by wire tapping could not be
used as evidence in Federal courts. 1t has
never ruled that wire tapping itself Is
illegal.
The section of the FEC Act which
MIR. Fly contends outlaws all wire tapping
says that mo person. not being authorized
by the sender, shall intercept any COM
munication and divulge or publish the
existence. contents, substance or
meaning of such intercepted communica-
ton to any person." Justice jackson.
while serving as Attorney General in 1s4l.
discussed this language as follows: There
is no Federal statute that prohibits or
Furnishes wire tapping alone. The only
offense under the present law Is to inter-
cept any communication and divuige or
publish the same. ANY person. with no
risk of penalty, may tap telephone wires
and eavesdrop on his competitor, employer,
workman or others. and act upon what he
hears or make any use OF II that does
not involve divulging or publication. The
courts do not stop peopls from tapping

EIoin Marbles Out of Hidino

The Elgin Marbles, hidden in an aban-
doned subway during the Second World
War, have been returned to the British
Museum and soon will be on display again.
Fragments of the Parthenon at Athens,
the precious stones were brought to Eng
land by Thomas Bruce, seventh Earl Of
Elgin, envoy to the Sultan's court at Con-
stantinople from 1899 to 1902. The cost OF
salvaging the relics was more than $50 900,
but the Scottish nobleman who saved
them received $4,000 from the British
government for clear title-so his finan-
cial loss was not insupportable.
In another sense, however, Lord Elgin
was punished" for his zeal in preserving
the celebrated sculptures. Some critics
called him a vandal for removing the
marbles from Greece; others took him to
task for considering important stones
which were nothing but battered Jumps
of antiquity" He replied to his detractors
in a pamphlet in which he set forth his
idealistic purposes. Now, more than
century after his death, his endeavor to
rescue parts Of the loveliest building the
world ever saw is better appreciated. The
ruin gradually was being pulveriZed when
he first intervened. Contractors had used
the wreckage as quarry, souvenir hunters
had carted tons of 1t away. The activity
of Lord Elgin directed attention to the
value of what remained. 1t also served
to increase public interest In other sur
viying monuments of the ancient past
The influence of the display of the mar
bles in London was felt throughout the
whole field of Classical studies.

refuses to participate. the latest Anglo
American move promises TO be largely
futile, even though 1t may serve TO empha-
size the delinquency of the Krenlin and
its satellites. As a last resort, Of course.
the issue can be taken to the United
Nations, but here again the only thing
likely LIS the kind of moral condemnation
that does not seem to deter the Red totali-
tarians The simple fact is that human
rights will not exist in any country behind
the Iron Curtain as long as the Com
munists retain their power there.

Enemies of Human RIGHTS

In its latest effort to get them to stop
doing violence to human rights, the United
States, together with Britain, has invoked
the enforcement clauses of the peace
treaties in effect with Romania, Hungary
and Bulgaria. It seems fairly predictable
however, that nothing much will come OF
the move beyond demonstrating once more
the trio's low moral character and the
Kremlin's approval of same.
Under the peace treaties, the three
Communist-dominated governments are
solemnly pledged to secure to the Ro-
mar,ian, Hungarian and Bulgarian peoples
'the enjoyment of human rights and the
fundamental freedoms, including freedom
of expression, of press and publication, OF
religious worship, of political opinion and
of public meeting" The story OF now this
obligation has been violated is too familiar
to need reviewing. Persistently, system
atically-as in the recent persecutlon OF
Protestant leaders in Bulgaria and OF
Cardinal Mindzenty in Hungary-the satel-
lite trio have made a mockery OF all
democratic liberties by resorting to every
type of coercion, fraud and perverted
Justice to establish their Kremlin-serving
tyrannies on a firm footing.
The United States and Britain have re-
peatedly sent notes of strong protest
against this perversion, only to receive
insolent replies accusing them OF rude
interference" in the internal affairs OF
Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria. Now,
resorting for the first time to the enforce
ment clauses of the peace treaties, the
American and British governments have
served notice that they intend to call upon
the Russian government-as the other sig
natory to the treaties-to form three
power commission in each Of the offending
countries to see to 1t that the. obligation
on human rights Is honored. But 1t Is
pretty much foregone conclusion that
the Kremlin viii not consent to this, which
means that there will be no change for
the better.
Thus, although the treaties provide that
the parties to the dispute can set ur
another type of commission In case Russia
