A new industry may open up in Indianapolis if plans for marketing a new type of stop-go signal,

local dentist, are successful. S. P.' Haines, 2403 N. Pennsyl-
vania St., demonstrated the device before the Safety Board yesterday. He said marketing contracts for the

Twelve seconds before the green changes, the lights in the circle begin to go’ out, one a second. - The cluster. of red lights in the center flash on as the last green light clicks out. | The system was invented by Dr. Walter Beyer, but
recently. . Mr. Haines explained the disappearing lights give the motorist an exact warning of the length of time he has to go through the intersection. The device automatically discourages attempts to beat the light and eliminates confusion at light changes, he said. | Each light contains a control within the head, in contrast to the present system : of vertical lights for which controls must, be purchased separately. With a master

Jackson Yields
EDITOR'S NOTE: J. Edgar Hoover and his FBI have been prominént in the news lately. This is the first of four dispatches giving the background of some of the controversies involved.
By THOMAS L. STOKES . . Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, March 20.—Attorney General: Robert H. Jackson has recognized protests by liberals both in and out of Congress against some of the activities of J. Edgar Hoover's Federal Bureau of Investigation. : Thus far he has acted in two directions—ordering a reinvestigation
rests at Detroit, and banning wiretapping. | Liberals concerned over the po-,
granted to the FBI are hoping for a general scrutiny of FBI activity in order to assure protection of civil liberties, with a strict’ definition of the bureau's scope if that seems

The original General Intellegence Division, created in the World War

war “red raids” in the regime of A. Mitchell Palmer’ as Attorney General. J.

In reopening the Detroit incident, Attorney General Jackson has ordered an inquiry by the department’s Civil Liberties ' Division headed by Henry Schweinhaut, into the FBI participation in the arrests; on Eeb., 6 of 14 persons indicted, under an ancient statute, for promoting enlistments for the Loyalist cause in Spain. Senator Norris (Ind. -Neb.) has charged that the arrests were ac“indefensible and disgraceful” methods—hauling suspects| out of bed at 5 a. m., including one woman; holding them incommunicado, and handcuffing them together for their appearance in

ments in the cases,-which were originated two years ago under Attorney General Cummings and revived by Attorney General Murphy. Mr. Jackson followed this up by meeting protests against alleged wire tapping by FBI agents. He thas now ordered a cessation of wire tapping. He took this action, he said, upon recommendation of Mr. Hoover, who he explained had twice in’ the past taken a stand against wire tapping. \ Mr. Jackson suggests that Con= gress authorize wire tapping “with appropriate safeguards” in special cases such as kidnaping, extortion and racketeering. - N | The ban on wire tapping followed a recommendation to the Senate by its Interstate Commerce Committee for a $horough investigation of wire tapping. The committee had looked into reports of wire tapping laid before it, including charges involving the FBI “Wire tapping, dictographing, and similar devices. are especially dangerous at the present time, because of the recent resurgence of a spy system conducted by Government police,” said the report submitted by Senator Burton Wheeler (D. Mont.), chairman.
Fear Oppressions
“Persons who have committed no crime, - but whose economic and political views: and activities may be obnoxious to the present incumbents of law-enforcement activities, are being investigated and cataloged. #“Wire tapping and other unethical devices may lead to a variety of oppressions that may never reach the ears of the courts. They may, for example, - have the effect of increasing. the power of lawenforcement agencies to oppress
