Wire Tapping Gaining No Favor
Senate Leadership Hopes to Enact BrowneII Bill I
Session, but Opposition Continues to Grow

The word Is that the major
ity leadership Of the Senate in
tends to push for the enact
ment Of a bill legalizing wire
tapping before the adjourn
ment Of the present session.
The word also is that 1t will
require quite a bit Of pushing
to accomplish this. The legis-
lation, sought by Attorney
General Brownell, has not
grown in favor since it was
passed by the House; rather
the reverse. AS passed by the
House 1t was q modified YER
sion of the bill Mr.. Brownell
desired. Instead of permitting
the tapping Of telephone wires
when sanctioned by the Attor-
ney General, it would require
o court order. Mr.. Brownell is
still urging his original ver-
sion. but present indications
are that he'll be lucky II he
gets from the Senate as much
as he got from the House.
One contribution to Mr..
Brownell's difficulty is his lack
Of personal popularity on the
Hill. Democrats, of course, are
not forgetting his outrageous
accusation against form er
President Truman. Some Re-
publicans are remembering the
manner in which he dipped in
to and revealed some Of the
sacred secrets of the FBI as
he endeavored to support his
accusation before the Jenner
subcommittee. It is fairly safe
to say the Senate will not leave
1t to Mr.. Brownell to say when
wires may be tapped.
In an oblique way the Army
Mccarthy hearings are not
helping Mr.. Brownell any.

when he returned from some
rather extensive travels has
fortified those who feel it is
time to stand up and fight
Senator Mccarthy. Mr.. Mitch
ell found this party-with the
exception of a few big cities
united on the issue.
He also reported a big de-
mand everywhere for Senator
Mcclellan as a speaker, in
cluding such unlikely places
as Poland Spring, Me-, and the
smaller cities of Massachusetts.
He can also place Senators
jackson and Symington of the
subcommittee in any State
they care to visit.
Mr.. Mitchell naturally
speaks as a partisan, but he
claims that the major worry
the Democrats will have this
fall is over-confidence in the
face of the Republican family
quarrels.
It would be extremely hard
on Republicans to be forced to
deal in the Senate now with a
Mccarthy issue. The time has
passed when they can close
ranks around him. He still has
his admirers, a hard core of
perhaps a dozen men. but his
critics are no longer limited
to the small and curiously un-
influential group Of those who
were for Gen. Eisenhower be-
fore Chicago.
Their best hope is that Sen.
Mccarthy himself will duck
any such test.

ators are not too pleased by
Mr.. Brownell's views, ex-
pressed through the White
House, concerning the limita-
tions he deems necessary on
the inveStigative powers Of
Congress. Other Senators are
shocked by Senator McCar-
thy's open defiance Of all re-
straintS and his readiness to
change the pattern Of Ameri-
can Government to suit him
self. The feeling Is growing
that something unwholesome
has been happening to Ameri-
can Government and that the
time has come to take action
toward restoring the old de-
cencies. Legal condonement of
wire tapping would hardly be
considered a step In that di-
rection.
The subcommittee, headed
by Senator Welker Of Idaho,
now considering the bill, is
expected to hear a good deal
Of testimony in opposition be-
fore it undertakes to write q
reporter the majority and
minority reports that are GER
tain to be written. This testi-
mony will include technical
explanations by experts of the
various ways in which records
of wire tapped conversations
can be faxed or altered by
cutting and splicing. It is said
that this can be done in q
manner to defy detection,
making it a much more dam
gerouS business even than the
taking Of photographs.

as fighters and the skill and
precision of their army units

regiments have been compared
to the finest of the British
Guard regiments in their strict
discipline and invaluable elan.
With proper and adequate
equipment, these fighters could
be expected to give an excel
lent account of themselves
against any enemy.
But the other major factor
was not so encouraging. Paki-
stan is nation today of almost
incredible poverty. It's popula-
ton, more crowded than ever
since the separation from In

Sidered abysmally low even for
that part of the world. This
factor, of course, has con-
tributed to the bloody labor

damned by India for the irri-
cation of Rajphutana. In the
face of such dire economic
straits, Pakistan could hardly
be considered a bastion of

Thus the decision to send
military aid to Pakistan was
taken in full knowledge that
Pakistan's effectiveness as an

termined largely by her success
in overcoming her serious

Maybe the tide was turned

French cabinet stifened in its
approach to the problems of
Geneva and gave Foreign Min

his search for an honorable

by the call of 10000 draftees
to the colors for service in
Europe and North Africa so
as to release about 10000 more

It is to be noted also that
the opposition leaders have

is based on a fear Of more Seri-
