The 1968 Omnibus Crime Control Act limits sale of devices "primarily useful" for interceptions that only police can make lawfully, usually with in court warrant required.

This Shipp mentioned the same reason. Shipp said that a report by the Governmental Research Institute, a St. Louis-based nonprofit organization, recently had finished a study of board operations.

The study, Shipp said, called for reorganizing internal management. Specifically, he said, the study called for a division of labor that would make an administrative section respon- is pure farce." The wire-tap commission said the device, also called a "harmonica bug," can be secreted in the base of a telephone. The person who planted it then can dial the phone number, activate the device and hear sounds in the room within a radius of 30 feet. Joseph Jaffe, assistant U.S. attorney for the southern district of New York, recalled scandals in which members of a special New York City Police intelligence unit used illegal taps to get evidence on heroin smugglers and rob them.

He ordered Mrs. Murphy and another customer to join Davis behind a counter near the cash register. Davis gave the robber an undetermined amount of money from the register and then, he said, thinking that the pistol was a fake, advanced on the young man.

On the. question of letting contracts without competitive bidding, Shipp said that it had been done "without the knowledge of myself and some other commissioners unless it was emergency work." McClellan and Shipp both said that there had been elections in which the board received necessary information a very short time before the preparation deadline for ballots and voter canvass material.

In these cases, the work was let without competitive bidding, they said. McClellan said that the board would meet Thursday at 2 p.m. to discuss the situation. He said that he would ask the board to seek the aid of the Government Research Institute to develop better methods of purchasing. Mrs.

Svetanics said that in some instances when less than about $500 was involved, she believed she had been informed that a reorder of work originally bid on was involved and that this did not require further competitive bidding. She said she thought that the board reorganization would check noncompetitive bidding. "I certainly think it will be a tremendous saving in dollars."
