Wire-Tapping Ban Shocks Federal Law Enforcement
Attorney General Robert Jackson issues a sweeping decree prohibiting wire-tapping as a tool in federal investigations for prosecutions effective April 1. The order, prompted by Supreme Court conformity concerns, will curtail federal power especially in kidnapping and extortion cases and seeks congressional action to reestablish the practice in urgent crimes.

Both sums are drawn from department cash reserves built from delinquent taxes but not previously appropriated, with a March 28 hearing set for 10 am.

Burgus Opposes Fund Transfer for Incinerator Upgrade
Finance Commissioner L. D. Burgus cast the first dissenting vote in months against moving 93912 from the garbage incinerator fund to the sewer rental account. City Engineer Frank Young said the money funded gas and sludge lines between the incinerator and sewage plant, a charge the council authorized March 23, 1939, arguing the transfer is a legitimate reimbursement. Burgus argued the incinerator fund should not bear the full bill since the plant does not use the sludge line.
