issauance of permits to two
Petersburg fishermen, Walt Kirk
ness, Director of the Commercial
Fisheries Divisions reports. Per
mits to take trout will be issued

Supreme Court Rules
Wire-Tapping Legal
WASHINGTON UP* — The
Supreme Court today decided
wire-tap evidence may be used
in criminal trials in state courts.
The court ruled in a case from
New York, where the state’s con
titution and statutes permit po
lice wire-tapping if authorized by
a State Supreme Court.
Wiretap evidence is barred in
federal courts.
The high tribunal’s decision was
announced in an unsigned order.
Justice Douglas wrote a dissent
in which Chief Justice Warren
joined. The court’s vote thus was
7-2.
The court’s order noted that the
judgment of the federal courts in
New York was affirmed on the
authority of two earlier decisions
by the U. S. Supreme Court in
other wiretap cases.
Justice Brennan noted that
while he agreed with the affirm
ance, he thought it should be
based on only one of the earlier
decisions rather than both.
The issue came before the high
court on an appeal by Burton N.
Pugach, a Bronx attorney ac
cused of arranging a lye attack
on his girl friend, that the tri
bunal block use of wiretap evi
dence in his trial.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Greene and

Unruly Congolese
Soldiers Brings
Threat of Force
LEOPOLDVILLE (The Congo)
(J1) — The rape of a woman U. N.
employe and attacks on other per
sonnel by the unruly Congolese
soldiers today brought a threat of
force from the U. N. Congo com
mand.
President Joseph Kasavubu met
the U. N. threat with a broadcast
order to every Congolese military
commander “to open fire if neces
sary against anyone who opposes
j the mission to which he is order
I ed.”
The latest angry exchange be
i tween the Congolese government
and the U. N. command came as
this capital suffered jitters from
j the advance of leftist rebel
| troops toward Leopoldville.
The outbreak of violence against
: off-duty personnel Sunday night
j and early today provoked the
. U. N. command to warn it will
I use force unless terrorism ends.
The Security Council recently au
thorized the U. N. in the Congo
to use force if necessary to pre
serve order.
A statement issued by the U. N.
command said these attacks can
not be tolerated and will be re
sisted “with full force.”
The attacked woman was a
member of the U. N. civilian staff,
the spokesman said. He said she
was being driven home by an un
armed U. N. Sundanese officer
Sunday night when the car was
stopped by soldiers on a highway
some distance outside Leopold
ville.
In another reported incident
four unarmed U. N. Canadian
troops in a jeep were halted by
Congolese troops near a scenic
monument overlooking the Congo
River.
They allegedly were ordered
to take off their shoes and run
for a mile oyer rocky ground
while the Congolese beat them i
with rifle butts.

Oldest Human Bones on
Record are Uncovered
WASHINGTON UP) — The bones
of a man and child who lived
among saber-toothed tigers more
than 600,000 years ago have been
found in East Africa.
Reporting the discovery, a Brit
ish anthropolgist said they were
the oldest human bones ever un
covered. Also, the child’s bones
represent “the oldest crime ever
to be committed ever to come to
light,” he said.
“iMurder most foul,” was the
description Dr. L. S. Leakey gave
to the pieces of the child’s skull.
Skull fracture lines and other evi
dence convinced the anthropolo
gist that “the child was murdered
with a blunt instrument.”
The discovery means that the
600,000 year old “Nutcracker
Man” Zinjanthropus, whose bones
Leakey discovered in 1959, is no
longer the oldest human on record.
“Nutcracker Man” turned up in
the same area as the new found
bones, but at a different level.
