On Wire-Tapping
By UNITED. PRESS
The battle over the ad
ministration’s wire - tap bill
shifted to the Senate today
after the House refused to
vote Attorney General Her
bert Brownell Jr., all the au
thority he wanted.
And there were signs that even
the revised measure -which would
permit the use of some wire-tap
evidence in prosecution of subver
sives-faced trouble in the Senate,
It will go to the Judiciary com
mittee which has biiried similar
bills in the past.
Sen. Pat McCarran (DNev),
former chairman of the Judiciary
committee, announced he would
offer an alternate plan to restrict
rather than relax present wire-tap
authority and forbid the use of
wiretaps as evidence in courts.
