Bill Would Put
Court Curb on
Euvesdroppinq
BY the Associated Press

Senator Heating. Republican
of New York, has introduced an
anti-eavesdropping bill in a
sequel to Mondays Supreme
Court decision overturning gam
bling convictions because Of
police use Of a spike mike"
Senator Keating's measure
would bar any electronic caves
dropping or overlapping except
under court order issued after
a showing by law enforcement
officials Of reasonable grounds
for believing a crime was being
committed.
The Supreme Court threw out
gambling convictions against
three men because police OBJ
tanned evidence by driving a
spike wired for sound partially
through a common wall from
an adjoining house and listen
ing to the conversation inside
the alleged gambling head
quarters.
The justices ruled that use
of this device amounted to un-
authorized penetration into a
house in violation of the Con-
Stitution's bar against unrea-
sonable search and seizure.
Senator Keating said yester-
day in introducing his bill that
the court previously has held
that no constitutional rights
were affected by the use Of a
"detectaphone," an electronic
listening device held up against
a wall.
Senator Heating said that in
his opinion a citizens right of
privacy is invaded just as much
whether the invading object is
placed against a wall or pro-
trudes a fraction of an inch

Kennedy Aim Firm,
Adenouer Declares

BONN. Germany, Mar. 8
(AP).-Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer told the lower house of
Parliament today President
Kennedy is more outspoken
about his political aims than
was former President Eisen-
hover.
President Kennedy's position
on the relationship between Eu-
rope and the United States is
more pointed than that of the
previous President Eisenhower"
the Chancellor said during a
budget debate that touched on
the Bonn n-Washington negotia-
tions to ease the pressure on
the United States dollar.
DR.. Adenauer said after his
talks Monday and Tuesday with
United States Ambassador-at-
Large w. Averell Hartman and
Mr.. Kennedy's message to the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zation Council February Is, he
was thoroughly convinced that
the United States recognizes
fully the meaning of NATO and
will contribute toward its
strength"
More Leadership Urged
DR.. Adenauer is reported to
have told Mr.. Hartman re-
peatedly he hopes that Mr..
Kennedy will exercise more
active leadership in interna-
tional affairs. implying that
this was lacking in the previous
administration.
Mr.. Hartman, meanwhile, ar
rived in West Berlin and
pledged continued American
support for the city's efforts
to remain free.
I'VE are confident that the
people Of Berlin will be able
Evening star., 1961-03-08

to carry out their desile to
live in freedom" he told Mayor
Willy Brandt, land we are
ready to support them in every
way we can"
He recalled that President
Kennedy has spoken firmly OF
the American intention to sup
port the freedom of the isolated
city, which is surrounded by
Communist territory.
Strong NATO Stressed
In his talks here, Mr.. Harri-
man was reported to have
acknowledged the West German
view that NATO frontline
troops must have the most
modern weapons available.
Mr.. Hartman told Chancellor
Adenauer yesterday that the
United States still feels NATO
should have its own atomic
weapons, the sources said. The
Atlantic alliance has taken no
action on the United States
proposal.
There had been uneaSineSs in
Bonn after reports from Wash
ington said the United States
planned to restrict sharply the
role of nuclear arms as a pos
sible combat weapon.
The reports, later denied by
the Kennedy administration,
said the United States felt at
tackS on Europe should be met
with conventional weapons un-
less the enemy used nuclear
weapons first.
The West German position is
said to be that not having nu-
clear weapons within the reach
of frontline troops would in
vite nuclear attacks and assign
to the West German forces a
suicidal role.

bad, electricity often off, and

The Dolci projects emphasize
team work more than indivi-
dual work, he said. They try
to send out small groups OF
agricultural experts, trained
nurses, and craftsmen to each
village.

Larger groups tend to cut
themselves off from the local
population, and smaller ones
are overwhelmed by the num-
ber of problems they cannot
solve"
Fewer Murders
What success has Mr.. Dolci
had in nine years? One meas
ure he chose was the weakened
power Of the Malta, that Sicil-
