Tompkins Renews
Plea for Admission Of
Wire-Tap Evidence
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. Sept.
9.-Assistant Attorney General
William F. Tompkins today re-
newed the Justice Departments
plea that evidence in national
security cases obtained by wire
tapping will be made admissible
in the Federal courts.
And, in a speech prepared for
judicial conference OF the Sd
Judicial Circuit, he reiterated
the departments view that the
Attorney General, as the cabinet
officer charged with responsible
ity for protecting internal Sc
curity. should be the person to
authorize the tapping of wires.
Sees Security Jeopardized.
Mr.. Tompkins. who heads the
departments newly created In
ternal Security Division, as
serted:
"The national security is being
seriously jeopardized by reason
of our inability to use as evidence
any of the information received
as a result of a wiretap, includ-
ing evidence stemming from an
intercepted lead"
Attorney General Brownell
strongly urged the legalization
Of wire-tapped evidence in the
last Congress. He said repeat.
eddy that in the interest of speed
and secrecy, the Attorney Gen.
eral should be the one to say
where and when a telephone con-
versation should be monitored by
the FBI. However, when the
House took up the bill it adopted
an amendment providing that
taps could be placed only by au-
thority of a Federal judge. The
bill never reached a vote in the
Senate, and so died.
Traces History.
Mr.. Tompkins described the
wiretap bill as an important
item in what he termed the de-
partment's "well-rounded and
coherent program for tighten
ing the net around the Commu-
mist conspirators within our
country's bounds"
Tracing the history of wire
tapping, which he said was ap-
proved for use in security in
veStigations and certain heinous
crimes by every Attorney Gen.
eral during the last % years,
Mr.. Tompkins noted that the
Supreme Court in 1928 upheld a
bootlegger's conviction which
was based on wiretapped evil
dence.
However, Congress in 1894
passed the Federal Communica-
tions Act which makes it a fell
ony for any one to intercept
and divulge" a private commu-
nication. Since then, although
wires are regularly tapped in
security Investigations. the de-
partment has been unable to
present evidence thus obtained
in the Federal courts.

Marvin Griffin, the self-styled
white peoples candidate" was
swept to an apparently over
whelming victory in yesterdays
Democratic primary for the NOM
ination as Governor of Georgia.
Running with the blessing of
Gov. Herman Talmadge, whose
white supremacy championship
he is pledged to continue, Mr.
Griffin piled up a huge lead for
all-important county unit votes
allotted to the counties on the
basis of two units for each seat
in the State House of Repre-
sentatives.
Former Gov. M. E. Thompson
who twice unsuccessfully op-
posed Gov. Talmadge. was far
back in second place. still cling
ing to a fading hope that later
returns might pull him into a
runof.
Has 282 Unit Votes.
But on the basis of latest re-
turns. from 1,240 of 1909 pre-
cincts in 1873 of 159 counties. Mr.
Griffin had an apparently insur-
mountable total Of 154,858 popu-
lar votes. which gave him the
lead in counties with 282 of the
States 40 county unit votes.
Only FOG unit votes are required
for nomination..
Mr.. Thompson had 104,4 43
and led in counties having So
unit votes.
Trailing the leaders were Fred
Hand, Speaker of the Georgia
House of Representatives, with
58,446 and "a: State Agriculture
Commissioner Tom Under 49,
1863 and "a, and State Repre-
sentative Charles Gowen with

The other four candidates ir
the field of nine for the nomi-
nation. which virtually assures
election in this one-party state
had fewer than 10000 votes
among them.
It was the third smashing
election victory in six years fol
Mr.. Griffin. cambridge news
paper publisher, who was Gov
Talmadge's running mate il
1948 and 1850. He ran ahead Of
Gov. Talmadge in both races.
Mr.. Griffin based his bid fol
the four-year term on his si1
years of apprenticeship under
Gov. Talmadge and on the race
issue.
The only major candidate
strongly advocating ratification
of Gov. Talmadge'ss so-callec
private school amendment, Mr.
Griffin hit hard at his oppo-
nents for their "softness" on that
plan to preserve racial segrega-
ton in classrooms.
Grants for Students.
The Talmadge-backed consti-
tutional amendment would per-
NIT the State to discharge its
educational obligations by grant
ing funs to students. It would
wipe out a present ban on grants
to individual citizens.

the 9th congressional district in
Southeast Georgia apparently
was ousted by Mrs. Iris Bitch,
