Buying Rush, On
Time Payments, Is
Continuing, Report
(By Associated Press

Retailers in many cities say the
buying rush, on time payments, is
continuing despite tighter require
ments invoked Monday by the gov
eminent. But the control agency
the Federal Reserve Board has other
control powers they can use-and
they may.
Right now officials concede the
public rushed to make their pur-
chases before the change was made,
but they believe modest restraint
will be enough to hold down infla-
ton.
Another check, a reduction in the
growing expansion of bank credit
to business, may be called for to
help out.

Law MUST PREVAIL

For months the nation has been kept
in state of confusion by uncertainty about
its coal supplies.
Under the rule Of the United Nine
Workers normal coal production has been
prevented while contract negotiations
were pending.
The issue has been used as q political
football until the flouting Of the public
welfare has become national scandal.
At last the Taft-Hartley Act is being
invoked to bring the situation under legal
control. It will determine whether organ
lied revolution in one branch Of industry,
or the law of the land will prevail-wheth-
er one union leader or the courts will
govern.
Many coal miners are being misled.
BY subterfuge or otherwise they are incit-
ed to disobey the law They are told you
can't dig coal with the Taft Hartley Act"
That is true but men who disobey the
law are subject to its penalties or the ma
ton faces anarchy.
If the United Mine Workers won't york
pending settlement of .theiH i feh hknds,
other men should be allowed to work. If
they disobey the findings of the courts
they should suffer the penalties thssbsSasIIee

do has been made over alleged illegai ac-
tivities by the FBI, including wire-tapplng.

built up by left-wing groups.
However, many honest ana SINCERE
neopie are worried about the posslpility
II police state methods being adopted
here. SO the position Of the FBl shou1q Is
clearly understood
First Of all. is Jls Edgar Hoover mas
pointed ont, wire. apping is not carried on
a WHOLESALE scale, as the left-wllag COM
rades would have us believe. Il Is author
ized only in cases Of the gravest kind, IN
volving espionage, sabotage and klnap-
ing. In such cases, il is often the only posi-
bic means of developing evidence
Moreover, as Mr.. Hoover also said,
the FBT does not make policy il this or
anything else. It follows policies laid down
BY its superiors ia the government The
policy on wire tapping was set BY the
late President Roosevelt in 1910. In each
case when the use Of a wire tap is under
consideration, the authorization Of the
Attorney General must be obtained before.
the tap can be utilized By the FBI 9li III
This policy was followed bytsAttorney'
Generals Biddle. Jackson and Clark be
latter two are now justices Of the SUPREME
Court. And the policy has BEEN reiterated
by the present Attorney General Mr..
McGrath. sdt
According to Mr.. Hoover, The FBI
has less than ITO telephone taps in exis-
tence, confined to internal security cases,
throughout the entire United States and
its possessions" The tap, in other words. is
employed only in extremely serious cases,
which definitely affect the national sec
urity, and then only on the authorization
of the highest legal officer of the Execu-
tive branch of the government.
