(Republic Photo, Willis Peterson) In one case, it said, 1925 and 1926 wiretaps already had been made part of the public record in prior proceedings and the government was free to avail itself of them now. In the other case, the appeals court went on, 1943 wiretaps were made by the state, and the federal government did no connive them. Therefore, it ruled, they, too, are admissible. The denaturalization case a prelude to deportation is one of three court actions in which Costello is embroiled. THE RACKETEER is appealing a five-year income tax evasion sentence on which he served 10 months before he was admitted to bail.

He also is appealing a 30-day state contempt sentence on which he served 45 days before he was granted bail last May 22.
