Check Miami
On Shimon Jobs
Wire-Topping Inquiry
Traces Eeutenunt's

The Senate subcommittee in
vestigating wire tapping was busy
today checking on eavesdropping
work admitted by Police 1t.
Joseph w. Shimon.
Two steps were taken to gather
information on 1t. Shimon in
preparation for an executive hear
ing at l am. tomorrow.
One was to send an agent Of
the Senate subcommittee to the
office of United States Attorney
George Morris Fay to see what
files 1t. Shimon may have left
there from the time he was as
signed as chief investigator for
the prosecutors Office.
This check was to be made by
William Gulledge, assistant coun-
sci to the subcommittee headed
by Senator Pepper. Democrat, of
Florida.
Another move was to check
with police authorities at Miami,
Fla. about their reported request
to 1t. Shimon to find a fugitive
from justice who supposedly was
"a Cuban sugar swindler."
1t. Shimon already has spent
about three hours before the
Pepper subcommittee for private
questioning. Chairman Pepper
announced that he admitted tap
ping phones in eight instances. In
a number of these cases 1t,
Shimon is said to have explained
ne was seeking information on
fugitives at the request Of police
in other cities.
In 1947 he is said to have oc-
cupied a room at the Occidental
Hotel in trying to trace down the
Cuban.
| In that case the Shimon story
as relayed to the press by
Chairman Pepper was to the
effect that his hotel bill was paid
by money order drawn by Miami
police.
!
Gerhard P. Van Arkel, general
counsel to the investigating group,
said whatever information might
be obtained in these two check
ing operations today he planned
to use as background information
when the officer is questioned
again at tomorroW's executive
session.
Meanwhile, the Pepper SUBJ
committee was awaiting answers
