Court to review wiretap ruling in major case
The Supreme Court agreed to hear whether wiretap applications signed by an aide to former Attorney General Mitchell were valid, a ruling that voided evidence in more than 50 prosecutions. The case hinges on the 1948 Crime Control Act and could disrupt efforts to curb organized crime if taps are deemed illegal. The court also let stand a Harvard professor’s contempt citation in the Pentagon Papers probe.
