NEW YORK, Jan, 31-—It seems a resolution to peek into the FBI's wire-tap activities will soon dump another investigation onto Congress’ brimming lap, wire-tapping without special legal dispensation being against the law.

I would venturé that the wire-tap picture is fairly clear already, and needs investigation less than fresh clarification. Wire-tapping is basically an invasion of privacy, said privacy being guaranteed under the Constitution. Wiretapping stands about halfway between rifling a man’s desk, ‘without a search warrant, and reading his mind. It has been used rather extensively in the FBI's swoop on Communists, and very potently. In defense of its use, J. Edgar Hoover has protested that no more than 170 telephones are under FBI tap, and then with semi-legal permission by the Attorney General. I say semi-legal, since the Attorney General is part of justice structure, as is FBI, and this is more or less like getting permrission from yourself,

Provides Important Leads .

THERE'S NO DOUBT the G-Men were able fo drop a net on several commies by use of the tap. Even though the evidence is not admissible in federal court, the boys got leads that allowed them to dig up stuff that is admissible in court. It was certainly an invasion of the suspect's privacy, and so now you have to argue what individuals have what privacy, and the Constitution answers, “everybody.” So then you argue back, “suppose the people Involved are spies and traitors, working Justily against the welfare of everybody else? Are they entitled to privacy? Is a gunman entitled to privacy? Is a Russian spy entitled to privacy” Is a mad dog entitled to privacy?” But thé Constitution was written a long time ago, before A-bombs and H-bembs and planned Comfpunist infiltration of high places.

ps in Politi WASHINGTON, Jan. 31—The Hon. Harold Knutson, the man who took no interest in the shapes of his lady constituents, is sitting on his front porch in 8t. Cloud, Minn, at this writing with nothing much to do. Except to ponder the part that female hips play in politics. I tell this sorry tale here, not so much for your amusement, as for the benefit of the House Ways and Means Committee, which probably does not even realize that the hip problem is about ta plague it, too. Gentlemen, your attention, please: Back in the days of the 80th Congress the Hon. Harold was the all-powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. The furriers pleaded with him to remove the wartime taxes from their coats. The typewriter makers said the tax on their machines wasn’t fair. Came the parade of those still collecting war taxes in peacetime: The pool table makers, the rallroaders, the telegraphers, the producers of luggage. the camera « fhanufacturers, the cabaret owners, and the Jewelers.

Didn't Laugh, Exactly THE ROLY-POLY KNUTSON didn't laugh at them exactly, He merely smiled and said nothing doing because the government needed the money which was coming in at the rate of about $4 billion 4 year. = The cold cream makers argued that if the women of America had to pay 20 per cent on the wiguents they patted on thelr faces, then why shouldn't the Hon. Harold pay the same tax on his shaving cream? He replied, without thought of his shaky position even here, that women didn't grow whiskers, The Association of Handbag Manufacturers, suffering under a 20 per cent tax on their product,

too,. fook a different tack. They invited repre- ‘own fakes, not to mention hip pockets.
