FBI Wire Taps Not Policy Tools, Hoover Says
In the wake of dramatic communist trials critics claim the FBI uses wire taps widely. J Edgar Hoover argues taps are limited to gravest cases such as espionage and kidnapping and are not policy making. Authorization rests with the Attorney General and national policy dates to 1940.

Those Hidden Taxes and the Tax Reform Call
The New York Herald Tribune editorial argues citizens must see through tax smokescreens and study hidden taxes beyond direct levies. It cites figures from Robert S. Bird and the Tax Foundation showing myriad levies on a $10,000 house, bread, a hat, a suit, and an egg, plus per-family estimates up to $700 yearly. The piece urges awareness and action, noting federal shares have risen from 22 to 71 percent since 1932 and calling for careful study of overlapping jurisdictions and outdated taxes.
