dence by wiretapping while for
bidding them to use it in court.
Feel Handicapped
Inspector Layton testified
that since it is against Wash
ington police policy to use wire
taps, I'VE proceed with the
tools we have, but we feel
handicapped in dealing with
organized crime and are not as
effective as we should be-"
He said the most recent case
of wiretapping by local police,
to his knowledge, was in the
mid-1940s when a policeman
wiretapped on his own initiative,
resulting in a grand jury in
veStigation.
Senator Keating, noting the
Districts rising toll of crime,
commented that Congress
should do everything in it's
power to give the District tools
to help reduce the crime rate.
Opposition Voiced
Edward Bennett Williams, a
Washington lawyer who repre-
sented Bernard Goldfine and
told the subcommittee Of the
eavesdropping efforts against
the Boston industrialist. vigor-
ously opposed the bills being
considered by the subcommit-
tee. yesterday. Mr.. Williams
contended that it would not be
possible to get a warrant for
telephone taps that would meet
constitutional standards because
it would be too general.
He proposed that if the JUS
tice Department could prove to
the subcommittee that new
weapons were needed to fight
espionage, sabotage and trea-
son, then the subcommittee
should recommend an amend
ment to the Fourth Amend
ment to the Constitution to
take care of the problem.
Herman Schwartz, an attor-
ney representing the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union
called wiretapping and elec-
tronic evesdropping a serious
invasion Of privacy. He warned
that making such practices
lawful would move the coun.
try a step closer to a police
state and declared that there
was no basis on which so SHARP
a departure from Fundamental
safeguards could be justified.
