AP Wlrephoto People in Washington Will Have To Find Status Symbol Other Than Telephone Tap By Art Buchwald WASHINGTON The supreme courts decision which ruled that the justice department could not bug or wiretap anyone without court approval has put a pall on Washington. In a town where status symbols are essential, being bugged by the justice department was the highest honor the govern- ment could bestow on one of its citizens.

It meant the person was important enough to warrant surveillance and his work was so meaningful the FBI was worried about him. One of the biggest gambits of a lawyer or lobbyist in Washington has been to say to the client, Wed better not discuss this on the phone, I think my line is tapped. The client would be immediately impressed and the lawyer or lobbyist would then double his fee. 4 The same went for newspapermen stationed in this town. A wise correspondent wouldcall lus editor and say, Jeff, pass the word at the paper that if anyone at the office has anything important to say, not to call me at home.

Theyve got me bugged. Theyre furious at the White House about the story I did on urban development, and I hear the word is out to find out who leaked it. If I have anything important to report, Ill call you from a pay phone. Militant Groups Disturbed Most militant protest groups are disturbed by the supreme court ruling. Sam La Barbe, the leader of the Students Committee Against Studehts, told me, The supreme court took all the fun out of protesting.

We used to sit for hours making obscene phone calls to friends telling Nixon, Agnew, John Mitchell and Kleindienst where to go. Now its hardly worth the dime. At cocktail parties almost everyone in Washington talked about being bugged. This is how. the conversation would go: Helen, when I called you yesterday, I had the most ter rible connection.

Yes, everyone is complaining about it. Charles told me last night that he heard they had a 24-hour tap on his line and it was Weakening the circuit. Why would they want to tap Charles? Hes certainly a small fish in this town." I resent that remark, Ethel. Charles has a very portant job as far as the authorities are concerned, and weve been tapped for over a year. When was the last time anyone tapped Williams telephone? Weve been tapped through three different administra-tions.

You made that up. Who cares what William has to say? Bag la Chandelier The host would then interject, I wish you girls wouldnt talk so loud. I know someone has planted a bug in the chandelier. It was so important to be tapped in Washington that it is rumored many people used to install their own hugs in the wall and show them to friends as the real thing. I know one columnist who always insisted we walk in the garden when we talked about anything, as he claimed all his paintings had been wired by the FBI.

Its going to be hard in Washington to find something to replace the status of being bugged or wiretapped. The only answer Is that since the government cant do it, private industry will have take over. This could, in effect, be what the bugging attempt of the Democratic National committee was all about. Thanks to the five men who were caught trying to bug the Democratic headquarters, the Democrats have more status now than they ever had before. Until the incident, no one in Washington had ever heard of the Democratic party.

But Since the incident, its prestige has risen and, for the first time, the Democrats are being taken seriously in 1972. I Of- v' ir I i 4 1 i Ai.l w-4 psttottMg i A i I A 1 I) -AP Wlrphoto a 'S v- f. vDW. fy. vy -AP Wlrephoto In Presidenfs Chair Richard Nixon, a 9-year-old from Albany, N.
