Together, state prosecutors in New York and New Jersey accounted for 83 per cent of the wiretapping done by state officials across the country. OF 818 WIRETAPS orders issued last year by judges in the United States, 254 were granted to New York prosecutors, 187 to New Jersey officials, and 285 to federal investigators. The report, which was compiled by the administrative office of the United States courts and filed with Congress last Monday, has not yet been officially released, but copies began to circulate on Capitol Hill Friday. It disclosed that some New York judges are permitting devices to stay in operation for far longer periods than federal or state laws appear to anticipate.

WHILE THE statutes permit 30-day periods of surveillance, with 30-day extensions under certain circumstances, Supreme Court Justice John P. Cohalan S31TC3L STAR MOVES. MERCHANDISE Jr. let the district attorney's office in New York's Suffolk County wiretap two residences there for most of last year. In an Investigation of widespread organized crime activities including gambling and extortion, one telephone was tapped for 300 days and another for 291 days.

Telephones were also tapped for than 100 days in other counties in the state, including Rockland, Queens, New York and Kane. Elsewhere in the nation, a wiretap that stayed in effect for more than 20 days was rare, according to the report. CRIMINAL JUSTICE experts attribute the extensive use of wiretapping by New York police to the fact that court-approved eavesdropping has been authorized for decades by the state's laws and constitution, and some of the judges and police have become casual about it. Many of these same authorities feel that when the higher courts review convictions growing out of such lengthy surveillance, they may declare it illegal. Few states allowed police wiretapping until 1968, when congress declared, in the Omnibus Crime Control Act, that state legislatures could pass laws permitting oolice to wiretap with court approval.

Twenty states have now done so, but the new report showed that wiretap orders were obtained by police in only 13 states Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin. The rapid rise in police wiretapping in New Jersey is due largely to the creation of an antiorganized crime unit in the office of the state attorney general. GROSSINGERS, N.Y. (Re-uter) Chess master Bobby Fischer agreed Friday to play world chess champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union for the title in Reykjavik, Iceland, Fischer's representative said. Paul Marshall, Fischer's representative said Fischer had agreed to the International Chess Federation's proposal of Iceland as the site of the world chess chempionships because "Bobby feels that even under adverse and uncertain conditions designed to make it difficult for him to play, he must play and win as a matter of national and personal pride." FISCHER WON the right to challenge Russia's Spassky for the title, which is contested every three years, by defeating other potential challengers, including former world champion Tigran Petrosyan of the Soviet Union.

found making the decision to go to Iceland was "one heck of a struggle it was really terrible." Fischer's spokesman added the choice of Iceland "was made solely by the Soviet government without reference to either of the players." "The method by which the choice was made is clearly against FIDE (International Chess Federation rules and brings into question the Integrity and intent of FIDE," he said. FIDE had originally stated it had refused to hold any part of the match in the Western hemisphere, the spokesman said, "evidencing not only a callous disregard of their own rules and display of authority, but a prejudice which has marked chess championships ever since the Soviet Union obtained the monopoly." 1 Spassky won the world title from. Petrosyan in Moscow in 1969. Fischer's acceptance of Iceland appears to have ended a long wrangle over the championship site that threatened to jeopardize this year's championship. The international association was reported at one stage to be considering cancellation of the title match because of Fischer's reluctance to agree to a site.
