Wiretap
By MICHAEL L. POSNER
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Momentum is building for an
extraordinary congressional in
vestigation into the wiretapping
operations of the FBI. The
House of Representatives,
meantime, has decided to hire
experts to make sure its
telephones aren’t bugged.
Calls for the investigation of
the FBI came from both
friends and critics of Director
J. Edgar Hoover in the trail of
charges by House Democratic
leader Hale Boggs that House
and Senate members have been
telephone-tapped and spied on
by the FBI.
Rep. Emanuel Celler, D-N.Y.,
chairman of the House Judicia
ry Committee, said he would
discuss an investigation of the
growing controversy with mem-

Checking For Snoopers
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-
Mass., said he asked Sen. Sam
Ervin, D-N.C., to expand his
probe of Army snooping to
include the FBI monitoring
practices.
If Ervin does not enlarge his
investigations Kennedy said he
would consider an investigation
by his Senate Judiciary Sub
committee on Administrative
Practices and Procedures.

Dear Dr. Lamb—l am a
professional man and must
meet the public. Sometimes
in the middle of a public ap
pearance I have to leave
abruptly and lie down be
cause I have paroxysmal
tachycardia. I am hospital
ized for a few hours many
times every month because
the attacks last three or four
hours. I read your book, doc
tor. Can nothing be done for
such as us? My doctor says
I have no signs of heart trou
ble and he wants me to learn
to live with it.
That is easy for him to
say. My job is in jeopardy
because of my sudden unex
plained disappearances with
my attacks. My doctor says
medicine should not be given
a good heart—so what can I
do? Give up everything?
Dear Reade r—l under
stand your problem well. For
years I dealt with pilots who
had no heart disease but had
an irregularity of the heart
that could cause them prob
lems while flying. It was al
ways difficult. Many heart
specialists would agree that
if a person really had re
peated episodes of heart ir
regularity that incapacitated
the patient, usually some
medicine should be given in
an effort to prevent the at
tacks. These are not tran
quilizers or sedatives but
medicines that have a direct
action on the heart muscle.
Why don’t you ask your
doctor to arrange a consul
tation with a cardiologist at
the future.
Kleindienst Denies Bugs
Deputy Attorney General
Richard G. Kleindienst, who
has joined other administration
officials and Hoover in denying
that wiretaps were used on
congressional offices, said there
should be an investigation to
“clear the air” of snooping
charges.
Calls for investigations came
from Rep. Bella Abzug, D-N.Y.,
a Hoover critic who introduced
legislation to have Celler’s
group conduct an investigation,
and from a Hoover defdnder,
Rep. William Broomfield, R-111.
Kleindienst has accused
Boggs of either being sick or
“not in possession of his
faculties” when he made his
one-minute Hoover speech.

Here is an interesting item
for people with hands de
formed by rheumatoid ar
thritis. Some of them can be
reconstructed using silicone
rubber. The joints may not
return to perfect function but
hands can be made to be
more effective.
The operation for the hand
involves removing the
knuckle joint and replacing it
with a hinge joint of silicone
rubber. Some patients have
improved to nearly 75 per
cent of the original efficiency.
The rubber joints are ex
pected to outlive the patients.
Dr. James Urbaniak of the
orthopedic service at Duke
University who has pio
neered this procedure cau
tions, however, that patients
with rheumatoid arthritis
need a complete evaluation
since the disease involves
more than just joints. Many
patients can be helped by
other procedures. The opera
tion has helped in other de
formities like those occurring
in accident victims or Viet
nam war casualties.
Rheumatoid arthritis is not
the same thing as wear-and
tear arthritis.

Investment Abroad:
Afc U.S. Jobs Pinch?
WASHINGTON (NEA)
If President Nixon wants to find one reason for this
nation’s continuing high unemployment, he should look
very carefully behind this set of statistics:
Capital outlays abroad by affiliates of U.S. corporations
jumped 22 per cent in 1970. Another 16 per cent gain is
expected in 1971.
By contrast, 1970 capital spending in this country ad
vanced but 5.5 per cent. This year, the increase is pro
jected at 4.3 per cent.
Industrial expansion creates jobs. Jobs create income.
Income creates more jobs in the service industries.
The new investment abroad frequently pays for the
most advanced technological techniques. U.S. invest
ment in computer production in France, Germany and
Japan is currently showing particularly heavy gains. The
investment also generates funds for additional research
abroad. All this makes these overseas American firms
more able to undersell home companies in the U.S. mar
ket.
Now this foreign investment should certainly not be
restricted. The free flow of capital is essential in a free
world. Present restraints, in any event, do not seem to
be effective, for the major capital expansion gains are
in Western Europe (a 37 per cent jump in 1970, a pro
jected 27 per cent increase in 1971), where restrictions
on U.S. investment are the sharpest.
But this increased spending abroad uses some funds
which could be committed to improve facilities and re
search in the United States, which facilities and research
would, in turn, promote efficiencies and therefore di
rectly and indirectly create more jobs.
(One point must be noted. When one talks of a 16 per
cent or 22 per cent increase in investments abroad, this
is a much smaller sum in dollars than a 4 or 5 per cent
increase in domestic investments. And a considerable
amount of the money is generated abroad by the profits
of these American or part-American firms. It isn’t all
new money shipped overseas.)
But the problem is serious enough so that the Presi
dent should get his advisers to work on the problem of
why this country is not more competitive, say, with
Western Europe as an investment market.
It may be, for example, that U.S. industry should have
greater rewards for improving technology and for in
creasing production efficiency. But only thorough re
search into the problem will answer that question.
One reason, of course, for investment abroad is to
get around foreign import restrictions. These barriers
are something the government should have gotten tough
on years ago. In following the course of trade negotiations
closely for the past 25 years this reporter has noticed
that this government has talked “tough” but acted
weakly. Adding restrictions of our own, now being urged,
doesn’t solve the problem.
The unemployment and inflation problems will not be
really solved until U.S. industry (including especially the
service industries) are more efficient, and that means
continuing heavier investment in more efficient ma
chines, equipment and organization. And it means an
ever-expanding industry in new products and services,
including the development of pollution-abating, hunger
fighting, job-training and education-of-the-underprivileged
industries. Past experience in other lines indicates these
would be highly profitable when American inventive and
industrial genius is challenged. The industrial solutions
for some of these problems would be highly profitable ex
port items, especially to Japan, Great Britain, Germany
and France.

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)-
The Army is investigating
complaints by reservists that
they were subjected to “brutal”
treatment during training de
signed to condition them for
enemy interrogation.
Members of the unit said
they received electric shocks,
were chained to logs and
immersed in a pond, and bound
tightly with ropes during
exercises last weekened.
The purpose of the training is
to prepare the young reservists
for enemy questioning if they
should become prisoners of
war. None of the men,
members of a company of the
353rd Psychological Operations
Battalion at the Presidio, was
injured, an officer said.
