Cavanagh 'Whistle Stops'
To Make Himself Known

WASHINGTON UPROAR:
Wiretaps Meet with Disfavor

By DANIEL OKRENT
What did the retired septagen-
erian standing amidst 70 cam-
paign workers, a six-piece Dixie-
land band, and the mayor of De-
troit in a suburban Grand Rapids
shopping center thing of the go-
ings-on??
"Oh," he chuckled, "it's just
good o1' politics."
Truer words have never been
spoken. The Cavanagh train, "The
Whistle Stop," was in the midst
of a frantic, frenetic foray into
the hustings, rounding up smiles,
votes and recognition in the De-
troiter's drive toward Washington.
Jerome P. Cavanagh, speaking
from the wrought-iron observa-
tion platform on the last car of
his one-day special: "Here's my
son Patrick, my son Mike, my
son David and my little girl, Mary
Therese. I would have brought
along the rest of the family, but
we would have needed an extra
car for the train!"
Cavanagh, facing the 900-plus
crowd just off the EastaLansing
campus of Michigan State Uni-
versity: "It's good to be back
here at your fine university, and
I'm glad to have a chance to
speak to my old friends and CIA
agents."
Then Irv Crane, former indus-
trial redevelopment aide to the
mayor, now a 25-hour-a-week vol-
unteer charged with materials dis-
tribution: "You're with a winner,
boy, and you'd better believe it."
The atmosphere surrounding
Cavanagh and his friends is elec-
tric, from his mahogany-walled
executive quarters to the air-con-
ditioned dining-car-turned-press-
car two cars further back. No one
with Cavanagh, from the men at
the top to the teenage volunteers
at the bottom, sees any sign of
defeat on the cards for Tuesday's
primary, where the youthful ex-
ecutive of the nation's fifth larg-
est city faces formidable G. Men-
nen Williams.
Off the train, or outside of
the 20-room office suite in De-
troit's Sheraton-Cadillac Hotel,

which serves as campaign head-1
quarters, one might talk differ-
ently. But if a Cavanagh man is
around, he'd better say it quietly.
In no way is the entourage of
faithful surrounding the mayor at
all like that of his opponent, nor
are the men themselves at all
similar. Where Williams is sur-
rounded by the UAW rank-and-
file in white socks and tattoed
biceps, Cavanagh has a flock of
young lawyers, businessmen, and
college students looking admirably
up from their Budweiser or their
books.
Where Williams sports the green
bowtie, soft-leather space shoes
to ease the pain of his tired feet,
and a baggy, shiny-in-the-seat
suit, Cavanagh looms forth in
sharkskin and Florsheims. Where
Williams' confidants are old tim-
ers covered with battle scars from
previous political wars, the Cav-
anagh men are relatively new-
comers, but pros nonetheless.
Most significantly, where the
Williams campaign is headed and
shored up by Eddie McGloin, a
former high school principal, Cav-
anagh relies on Bob Toohey, a
Detroit attorney, Harvard gradu-
ate Tony Ripley in the press of-
fice, and Bill Haddad's profession-
al consulting firm fresh from Rob-
ert King High's victorious battle
for the Florida Democratic gub-
ernatorial nomination and, prior
to that, the stunning election of
Republican-Fusion candidate John
V. Lindsay to the New York may-
oralty.
The air surrounding Cavanagh
is different. While his opponent
continues to slide on the recogni-
tion rendered by all who face him,
Cavanagh is struggling for the re-
nown so necessary in a statewide
primary; here it is a family fight,
one in which emotions mean more
than methods or ideas.
Williams moves adeptly between
the counters in a supermarket,
aims at a prospective handshaker,
and pounces on the unsuspecting
prey, with nary a word of intro-
duction or explanation-none is

needed for the familiar, lopsided
grin above the omnipresent bow-
tie.
But Cavanagh is flanked and/or
preceded by two or three advance
men from his "Irish Mafia" who
approach the unwary with an
amiable, "How would you like to
meet Mayor Cavanagh?" It is
then that the smiling, plump can-
didate extends his hand.
This is Cavanagh's largest ob-
stacle, one which he has less than
a week to overcome. For every
voter who recognizes "Soapy" on
sight, there is one who must look
quizzically at Cavanagh to place
the face, and one who has to
wonder before placing the name.
It is just such ammunition as the
train and the numerous radio and
television spots to be used until
election day with which the may-
or hopes to overcome the stigma
of disfamiliarity. -
"I think that, while this is our
biggest problem, we are managing
to overcome it. The reception I
received in Monroe and in the
western part of the state last
week are indicative of the inroads
I am making into the ex-gover-
nor's strengths."
Additionally, Cavanagh is us-
ing to his advantage a straight-
forward, to-the-point approach to
the press and to the voters, dis-
cussing issues first, saving his
handshaking for later. Meanwhile,
Williams is confidently banking
on his image as a progressive to
put himself to the voters, avoiding
direct contact with controversial
issues which may lose him votes.
However, Cavanagh thinks his op-
ponent's strategy is back-firing,
claiming that more people want
to hear issues discussed than to see
smiles flashed.
There is an invigorating vitality'
about the Cavanagh campaign
that is at once engaging and dis-
arming. It is not a "running scar-
ed" camp of a man who sees im-
minent defeat, but a "push-'em-
up" group of never-say-die en-
thusiasts

By BEN PRICE
WASHINGTON (W) - A sort of
nervous complaint induced by the
public exposure of various "bugs"
is besetting Washington this sum-
mer.
The condition, known locally as
"the bug flap," apparently has af-
fected the hearing of a number of
federal agents all across the coun-
try. Some of them had been ac-
customed to eavesdropping on oth-
er people's conversations.
The flap-government slang for
a state of upror-stemmed from
complaints over the use of elec-
trfonic eavesdropping equipment
-bugs-and wiretaps by federal
agents.
As a result of the flap the Fed-
eral Bureau of Investigation main-
tains it is now using wiretaps
and electronic bugs only with the
written permission of the attor-
ney general.
The Internal Revenue Service's
school for special agents on wire-
tapping, electronic snooping and
lock-picking has been closed.
The Food and Drug Administra-
tion says its intelligence kits -
tiny broadcast stations with tape
recorders on the receiver's end-
are now locked up and can be
used only in very special cases.
At the Department of Justice,
assorted crime cases reportedly are
under review to ascertain wheth-
er any of the accumulated evi-
dence was obtained through the
use of wiretaps or bugs.
What is going to result from all
this in the way of new legisla-
tion, executive department orders
or court rulings is, for the pres-
ent, guesswork.
There has been speculation that,
as a result of the Fred Black, Jr.
bugging case, Washington is about
to witness an attempt to bring
the FBI under the more direct
control of the attorney general.
While the FBI is theoretically
already subordinate to the Depart-
ment of Justice, it has long oper-
ated as a sort of independent fief-
dom under its director, J. Edgar
Hoover.
Attorney generals have long shied
from any head-knocking contest
with Hoover. The present attor-
ney general, Nicholas Katzenbach,
has cracked that while he could
fire Hoover on a Monday, there
would be an unemployed attorney
general on Tuesday.
The current flap has been
emerginggradually over the past
18 months ; since the Senate sub-
committee on Administrative Prac-
tices and Procedure began hear-
ings into complaints that federal
agents had invaded the privacy
of individuals.
But what raised it to a major
flap was the May 24 appearance
by U.S. Solicitor General Thur-
good Marshall before the U.S. Su-
preme Court. There he disclosed
that the FBI had bugged the
Washington hotel quarters of Fred

Black, a public relations man and
onetime associate of Bobby Bak-
er, former Democratic majority
secretary in the Senate.
Black had been convicted of
evading $91,000 in income taxes
and given a prison sentence 'of 15
months to four years. Baker is
awaiting trial in December on
charges of larceny and tax eva-
sion.
Marshall hinted in his statement
to the Supreme Court that the
FBI had bugged Black's quarters
without the knowledge of the at-
torney general.
The Supreme Court, which on
May 4 had declined to review
Black's conviction, immediately
explain in detail all the circum-
ordered the Justice Department to
stances surrounding the bugging,
including the person responsible.
The court's questions have rais-
ed doubts about whether Black's
conviction will stand. Defense at-
torneys have already indicated the
issue of wiretapping and bugging
will be raised in the Baker case.
The FBI has already denied the
use of wiretaps, bugs, or "any im-
proper source" in gathering evi-
dence in the Baker case.
Aside from the Black affair,
during the past 18 months:
-Sheldon Cohen, director of the
Internal Revenue Service, testified
to the subcommittee that he had
been unaware that some agents
had been engaged in wiretapping
and bugging.
-IRS agents admitted to the
subcommittee they had bugged 22
rooms in which conferences were
held between defendants and their
lawyers or accountants.
-Katzenbach told the Senate
subcommittee, headed by Sen. Ed-
ward Long (D-Mo), that 11 orga-
nized crime cases had to be drop-
ped after it was discovered that
some of the evidence had been
"tainted" by wiretapping or bug-
ging.
-There was testimony before
'the Long subcommittee that as
late as Jan. 5, 1965, the FBI was
using wiretaps extensively in Kan-
sas City, Mo., in criminal inves-
[s ATI

tigations which had no connec-
tion with national security.
-There was testimony before
Long's subcommittee that in Pitts-
burgh IRS agents had planted a
bug in the office of an attorney
with clients involved in IRS in-
vestigations.
This must be viewed against a
background of statements by three
consecutive attorney generals -
William Rogers, Robert F. Ken-
nedy and Katzenbach-that they
had approved wiretapping only in
cases involving national security.
There is a distinction between
wiretapping and bugging.
In wiretapping the actual ter-
minal points of a telephone line
are bridged to permit a third per-
son to eavesdrop. This is the us-
ual practice although induction
coils can also be used.
A bug operates independently of
the telephone system. It is a tiny
microphone which can be con-
nected directly by wire to a listen-
ing post. Or it can be a tiny, bat-
tery-powered broadcast station
with a range of nearly three
miles in some instances.
The 1934 Federal Communica-
tions Act states that it is illegal
to tap telephone conversations be-
tween two persons without the
knowledge of either and then di-
vulge the contents of that con-
versation to anyone else.
There is no federal law regulat-
ing bugging although the Federal
Communications Commission es-
tablished a regulation in May that
anyone, other than law enforce-
ment officers, using the broad-
cast devices could be fined $500
a day for each day of illegal use.
The federal courts have ruled re-
peatedly that evidence gleaned
through the use of wiretaps is in-
admissable on the grounds that it
violates the constitutional ban
against compelling a person to tes-
tify against himself.
