Noting that 1t. Shimon and
others testified before a District
grand jury and that the jury re-
turned no indictments. the re-
port commented:
From the testimony before the
subcommittee, it is felt that one
of the reasons for the failure of
the grand jury to indict lay in
a strained and over-technical in
depreciation by the Department of
Justice and the United States at
torney of the provisions of the
Federal Communications Act.
1.-THE attorneys presenting the
case were of the view that unless
divulgence of information OBJ
tanned from wire tapping could be
shown, then no crime
could be made out. The subcom-
nittee feels that reasonable men
could quite well conclude that such
wire tapping was hardly engaged
in without some divulgence or
other use or benefit being made of
the information obtained of it.
''The subcommittee feels that
this weakness in the present statu-
tory law should be corrected so
that the tapping of wires or the
divulgence of information so OBJ
,ained should clearly constitute
criminal acts"

tempted. He is putting two kind.
of mathematics together - two
kinds that have always been con.
sidered too antagonistic to work
together.
Non-Symmetrical Equation.
One Of these is symmetrical
equations. The other is non
symmetrical. The difference be-
tween them is in the rules by
which they are worked.
The reasons for this joining is
completely simple. Symmetrical
equations are used to explain grav-
itation. on-cymmetrical are used
to explain what little is known
about atomic energies.
Prof. Einstein devotes consid-
cradle space to mathematical ex-
plantations of why the impossible
might happen, why the two diff
ferent kinds of equations may
work together.
If they do. work, it means there
is a new explanation of gravita-
ton and atoms and atomic energy.
