Harlan Is Qualified
ForSupreme Court,
Kefauyer Declares
By n. Assseiessd Pres,

Senator Kefauver, Democrat.
of Tennessee today challenged
critics to advance "some reason
able argument" why Judge John
Marshall Harlan should not sit
on the Supreme Court.
Senator Kefauver said In a
statement that as a member of
the Senate Judiciary Committee
81 have heard nothing that
would lead me to believe he win
be other than a good member of
the Supreme Court"
THE principal thing brought
up against him has been his
advocacy Of the Atlantic Union. +"
the Tennessee Senator said. III
any one does not wish to see him
confirmed ;. then they should
justify their position by some
reasonable argument and aban-
don the ridiculous contention
that he should be disqualified
because he is a member of the
National Advisory Council of the
Atlantic Union Committee"
Judge Harlan told the COM
mittee last week he is mot q
one-worlder and ! am not a
unionist-now." He said he &C
cepted an invitation in 1852
from former Supreme Court
Justice Owen j. Roberts to be-
come a member of the Atlantic
Union Advisory Council but had
had no communication with it
and had not paid any dues. He
said that If confirmed he would
resign because he thinks Su-
preme Court justice should not
belong to any such organiza-
tons.

Consent Decree Set
On Coffee Futures
BY the Associated Press

The Government yesterday an
nounced a consent order to
broaden coffee futures trading
a step aimed at stabilizing the
market and preventing recur-
renee of the early 1854 price
squirt.
The order was tentative one
issued by Federal Trade Com
missioner Examiner William L.
Pack but the New York Coffee
Exchange and Clearing House
accepted it and announced new
delivery contracts are being Of
fered.
The order outlaws restrictive
contracts which had limited fu-
lures trading so that only Brazil
ian coffee and less than 10 per
cent of the United States i'm
ports were subject to trading.
The Federal Trade Commits
sion staff estimated 70 to rs per
cent Of imports would now be
traded in futures, including cof-
fees from Colombia, Mexico, Sal
vador and Guatemala as we'll as
Brazil. The aim is to prevent
the market from being affected
so much by what might happen
solely in Brazil.

De Sapio Telephone
Reported Tapped for
Political Purposes

BY Tho As9oeioted kfess
NEW YORK, Mar. Counsel
for an anti-crime committee says
the telephone Of Carmine g. De
Sapio. Tammany Hall leader. was
tapped by court order and 1t was
an example of overlapping for
political purposes.
The tap was made In 1947 or
1913 when Mr.. De Sapio. now
Manhattan Democratic leader
and New York Secretary Of State,
was a district leader, says VIII
liam Heating. counsel for a pri-
vate crime fighting committee
who formerly was an assistant
district attorney.
Mr.. Keating's statement yes
terday brought quick deniel
from his former boss. District
Attorney Frank s. Hogan. Mr..
Hogan said:
Never once in my IS years Of
service as district attorney has
there been a telephone intercept
ton for political reasons"
Natural Field for Extortion."
Mr.. Heating, whose committee
Is now seeking tighter legal curbs
on overlapping, commented prior
to a conference at Mr.. Hogan's
office yesterday:
This is a natural field for ex-
tortion, blackmail, matrimonial
actions, or getting the edge on
(business) competitors by ferret
ing out information on cosmetics.
wonder drugs and the like"
When a sked If overlapping
also was used for political pur-
poses, he cited the De Sapio case
A court order permitting the tap
was obtained on very f1imsy
facts" in connection with
waterfront murder investigation,
Mr.. Heating added.
He said he believes Mr.. Hogan
received reports of what was
overheard on the De Sapio phone.
Daughter MonOpOlized Phone.
Mr.. De Sapio commented that
the tap must have been a waste
OF time for the listeners since
his young daughter pretty much
monopolized the family telephone
in those years.
1t was Mr.. Keating's group,
the New York City Anti-Crime
Committee, that first disclosed
operation of an unauthorized
and illegal wiretap center in
Manhattan over the last six
months.
Mr.. Heating said the commit
tee knew the "higher-ups" be-
hind the eavesdropping opera
ton and had given their names
to the district attorney. He re-
ferred to them only as "Mr. B
and Mr.. G" and said the district
attorney would soon make the
full names public.
A grand jury is investigating
the Manhattan wiretap center
and has already indicted three
men, including two telephone
company employees. The center,
located in an East Side Apart
nent, was raided by police on
February IL.
Disclosed Week Later.
The raid was not disclosed,
however, until about a week
later, when the Anti Crime Com
mittee mentioned it at Albany
in urging new wiretap laws.
The district attorney said he
never heard of the raid until
the committees report appeared
In newspapers.
He subsequently criticized the
committee for not letting him
know about the raid sooner. The
committee replied that Mr..
Hogan ought to ask the police
why they hadn't told him
about it
Mr.. Heating said the district
attorneys Office is checking on
the February II raid and 1.-The
reasons it was hushed up"
A State Legislative Committee
prepared in Albany for a full
scale investigation of wire
tapping. The inquiry grew out
of the raid here.
