|Wire-Tap Bill
May Get Action
BY SenateUn
Copies of Measure
Now Going Rounds
Of Affected Agencies
By Don S. Worren

If present plans prevail. Senate
District Committee action may
be sought by Monday on the
Neely-Darby bill to put positive
restrictions on un- authorized wire
tapping.
A bill to outlaw such caves
dropping was introduced jointly
late yesterday by Senator Nicely,
Democrat, of West Virginia, Dis
trict Committee chairman, and
Senator Darby, Republican, Of
Kansas.
Both are members of the special
District subcommittee probing
into admitted wire tapping by
Police 1t. Joseph w. Shimon.
Printed copies OF their bill were
to be sent today to the Justice
Department, the District Govern
ment, including the Commission
ers. police and corporation counsel
officials. and other key groups.
Committee officials were hoping
for an immediate study by all
affected agencies and private
organizations so they would be
prepared to approve or offer
changes in the bill.
Immediate Action Doubtful.
With special recess or ad-
journment of this Congress i'm
pending, it had not been thought
there was any chance of final ac-
tion on such q bill before next
year.
But Chairman Neely appears to
be driving ahead for action. at
least by the Senate, because of
the Shimon admissions of making
numerous wire taps in recent
years.
Some observers still thought the
issue would be passed over to the
next Congress. especially since
the investigating Senate subcom-
mittee still has not been able to
find out why all the wire tapping
was done, or for whom.
The proposal to make caves
dropping felony, punishable by
heavy fines or imprisonment eX-
cept when authorized by the Dis
trict Court, seemed to be gaining
supporters. however.
Some Senators denouncing the
evils or possible vicious results of
unauthorized wire tapping were
saying new legal restraints were
needed. One of these was Sena-
tor Kilgore, Democrat, of West
Virginia.
Outlaws Possession.
Under the Neely-Darby bill,
wire tapping or possession of wire
tapping apparatus with intent to
use it Illegally would be felonies;
but law-enforcement officers could
apply to District Court for an
order permitting eaves-dropping
in stated cases. These would in
clude not only pursuit of Grim
inals or attempts to prevent
crimes, but also to trace activi-
ties of subversives suspected of
doing or planning acts "detri-
mental to the security of the
United States"
There was no immediate chal-
lenge of the objectives of the
Neely-Darby bill. Some sympa-
thetic observers, however, were
asking if it would be any handi-
cap to the work of the FBI in
its checking on traitors, sabateurs
and subversiveS.
Senators have been advised that
the FBI uses wire-tapping only in
two types of cases-treason and
kidnapping. At any rate, Senate
Committee spokesmen made clear,
they want the comments of the
Justice and other departments be-
fore any action Is taken.

Court To Rule On
Job Status OF


BARTESVILLE, OKLA. CAMP
An aged white woman, for 81
years city librarian of Bartesville
will learn in court, Oct. 2,
whether or not she a lose her
job because of her 'friendly" at
titude toward Negroes.
Miss Ruth Brown, SO, has sued
the city charging that a new Ii
brary ordinance which led to her
discharge earlier this year is void,
and the old one is still in effect.
She was fired under the offici-
al cause of "insubordination," ac-
>cording to Mayor E. S. Dunaway.
Behind this one-word cause for
discharge, however, are a number
of other incidents and causes.
First, there appears to be the
matter of Miss Browns belief that
Negroes should have equal rights
Nth whites. The mayor says this
is merely incidental.
Then there is the question of
"subversive" magazines, a group
which includes the Negro Digest
Others are two liberal magazines,
The Nation and The New Repub-
lie, and the Russian propaganda
bulletin, Soviet Russia Today.
Finally, thege is the new library
taking it away from the library
board which then controlled en-
ployment. Under the new law, Ii
brary workers can be fired with
out being given a cause. The old
board which approved Miss Brown
has been dismissed.
Mayor Dunaway reclared the
following statement by Miss Brown
during an interview by the COM
mission as characterization:
"At that meeting she told us
that she would answer questions
about operation of the library or
ally, but any questions about her
personal life would be answered
in writing if submitted to her in
writing. She, an employee of the
city commission, spoke to us that
way. We considered that insubor-
dination."

new highs during the first six
months of this year with the Ohio
Bell Telephone Company adding
40,6S3 new customers, including
5000 new subscribers in rural
areas, and further improving the
speed of long distance service.
These facts were reported today
when Ohio Bell issued it's sixth
months progress report to IT,
354 employees.
The first half Of the year also
witnessed Improvements in local
manual service, and dial service
was kept at a high level of accur-
acy and dependability. Part Of the
greater speed and accuracy of
long distance service was due to
further progress made in
the operator long distance dialing
program SO that now 81 per cent
Of all long distance calls are dial
ed by the operator as against At
percent at the end of 1949.
Even though telephone plant
conditions were still tight in some
places, higher grades of service
were given to 81, 367 customers,
and in some rural areas the COM
pany had almost eliminated the
number of lines with more than
eight parties per line. At the end
of June, only 572 subscribers
were left on such lines. In rural
areas now served by Ohio Bell,
better than seven out of 10 estab-
lishments now have telephones.
In order to carry out the con-
struction program the company
built 800 miles of pole lines that
took more than II thousand poles,
placed more than 100000 miles of
wire and cable, and installed adj
ditional central office equipment
with a capacity of 27,534 lines.
This construction work cost the
company $~12,578,000. Operating
revenues for the six months
period totalled $62,376,O0O, an
increase of $2,064,000 over the
preceding six months. Total op-
Grating expenses for the period
were $42,319,OOO compared with
$41,584,O 900 for the last half Of
1949. Total operating taxes for
the six months were up to $780,
