Wiretap Prober Gets
Jail Term for Secrecy
On Sources Of Data
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Mar. GA
Judge yesterday sentenced a pri-
vate crime prober to five days in
jail for refusing to tell a grand
jury his information sources, and
warned him of further punish
ment unless he does tell. =
Judge Jonah Goldstein in
General Sessions Court found
William j. Heating, outgoing
counsel to- the New York City
Anti-Crime Committee, guilty of
contempt Of the grand jury,
which is probing overlapping.
Mr.. Heating had declined to
tell his sources of information
on a February II overlapping
raid on an East Side apartment.
Mr.. Heating made information
on the raid public after it had
been kept quiet for week.
Judge Goldstein advised Mr..
Heating to reconsider his refusal
during the Jail term, while he is
"alone with his thoughts and
conscience and away from the
allures of teievision studios, ra-
dos and press conferences-and
other distractions"
The judge criticized the COM
mittee, a private group with
many prominent citizens on its
board. for backing UP Mr.. Keat-
ing in his refusal to answer
grand jury questions. The COM
mittee has not yet accepted Mr..
Keating's resignation.
Judge Goldstein granted Mr..
Heating a stay of the Jail SEN
tence until Friday, so he can
appeal.
Mr.. Keating's attorney, James
D. c. Murray, said Mr.. Heating
probably would apply to the ap-
pellate division by tomorrow for
a longer stay of execution of the
sentence pending appeal.

Heavy Penalties
For Wireiapping
Urqed by ceIIer

Chairman Celier Of the House
Judiciary Committee declared
today that all overlapping ex-
cept that connected with detec-
ton and prevention Of serious
crimes must be declared illegal
and subject to heavy penalties.
Mr.. Celler, q New York Demo-
crat. made that statement in
opening hearings on wiretap-
ping, which he termed a vicious
cancer" and proposals to curb
it by a subcommittee which he
heads.
He asserted that a Federal ban
against overlapping 'has no
teeth" and is being widely
ignored. even by police and Fed
eral officials.
"Flagrant Operation"
The practice, he declared, zap
parently has become a fragrant
operation on all levels. Private
detectives and adventures of all
sorts have taken the cue from
lax State and Federal enforce
ment. AS a result there has de-
veloped a disregard not only for
the court decisions but for our
constitutional liberties"
"It is time" he said, "to re-
solve the question whether or not
overlapping itself is a crime"
Warren Olney III, Assistant
Attorney General in charge of
the Justice Departments Grim
inal Division, was called as the
first witness. Congress members
who have proposed legislation on
overlapping also were to be
heard today.
Would Make It a Felony
Mr.. Celler is author Of a bill
to make most wiretapping-even
possession Of overlapping equip
ment-a criminal offense.
The only exceptions would be
in cases involving treason, sabo-
tage, violations Of the Atomic
Energy Act and kidnaping-and
then only upon prior order by a
Federal judge.
The overlapping issue has been
a heated one in recent years, but
proposed restrictions always
have died in Congress. The House
last year passed a wiretap con-
troll bill which was pigeonholed
by the Senate. IA
The only current limitation on
overlapping is in the Federal
Communications Act.
This law does not explicitly
forbid the practice, but states
that information thus obtained
may not be divulged. This has
been interpreted by the courts
to mean that such information
may not be used as evidence or
as a lead" for obtaining evil
dence in the prosecution of GRIM
inal cases.
"There are no teeth in the Fed
eral Communications Act" Celler
asserted. 1T prohibits wiretap-
ping and divulging, but does not
make overlapping in and of itself
a crime. j.. AS a result, there
has been no prosecution of gov
ernmental or nongovernmental
officials tapping wires"
the House inquiry will go into |
recent activities Of the New York |
City Anti-Crime Committee, a
nongovernmental group, which |
disclosed the existence Of q pri.
vate listening post" which could
tap trunk lines leading into some
$4,000 homes and offices.
