He told The Star that at least

committee for possible introduc-
Ition before Congress adjourns.
One of the proposals advocated
Iby Senator Daniel would grant
authority - under proper safe

and the use of information
gained through wire-tapping in
narcotics cases to provide cor

District to be in an anomalous
situation with respect to mar

reason is this:
