Unless corrective legislation is speedily enacted. great damage may be done our country with Impunity to the offenders. At a time when we are actively fighting Communist aggression in Asia and attempting to combat its influence In other parts of the -world. it seems negligent and foolhardy in the extreme to delay placing this additional weapon in the arsenal of our Federal investigating bodies. Immediate modification of this ban on the use of evidence obtained by wiretapping is clearly indicated by the subversive. underground nature of the threat which this country faces from fifth columnists. both native and foreign born. Now. FBI agents may listen in on private telephone conversations as long as they wish. but the facts which are ascertained in this manner may not be divulged nor the resulting evidence which may be gathered subsequently be used in court.
