Like private wire tappers, Federal wire tappers work in a number of ways-clipping connections, installing induction coils in receivers, attaching amplifiers to the walls behind instruments and listening from an adjoining room-all of which are frowned on by telephone companies. American Telephone & Telegraph, which appeared as a "friend of the court" in the first U. S. Supreme Court case to urge that telephone conversations are private property, cooperates with Federal agents if necessary but has long been campaigning for an act of Congress to outlaw the practice altogether...
After a flying visit and a peek behind the strict censorship, tightened when Vargas took over absolute power with a new constitution two months ago (TIME, Nov. 22), Author Davis reported: "The present regime in Brazil is the stark, unabashed personal dictatorship by Getulio Vargas, the President. . . .

Coverage of this war has other quixotic aspects. Reporters who are in a Chinese city one day may find it belongs to Japan the next. In Shanghai correspondents and cameramen could sleep comfortably in clean hotel beds, decide each morning which army they wanted to cover that day. But such convenience bred its carelessness and, for example, all United Press...
...Deciding that the answer was Yes, Judge Cosgrave ordered Herbert Fleishhacker to pay damages of $300,000. He then sent compliments to Lawyer Neylan for his handling of the case. Comparing himself to Emile Zola defending Dreyfus, Lawyer Neylan stormed back: "I am serving notice now on all those behind the present litigation against Mr. Fleishhacker that I am going to bring them into the open and I am going to clear his name if it takes the rest of my professional life. ...
