THAT's HOW IT BEGAN—
Ever wonder ab«iut the origin of
many common expressions ? Here's
I how two cf our most-overworked | the
phrases began ... In the old day
when most jail cells were furn-
ished w ith little more than a small
bed ":nd a bu.-ket, many a desporid-
• -:it prisoner committed suicide by
standing on the bucket, tying his
belt around his neck and the upper
bar of the <|'>or—and kicking the
bucket over. Hence the slang.
"Kick the bucket" . . . Here's an-
other one. During the time i f the
French Court most nobfes w<>r-
high wigs which often tangled with
the toes of their shoes when they
curtseyed. To avoid such embar-
rassment. the roval master cf cere.

Prepares New Bill
Stat. R -p. William Shin ley, nu-
thor of the lav.-, said at once that
be v ill inepare another bill to meet
!e hinh ci.urt's objections,
j In ne ither precedent-setting d ■-
: cisioa Monday, the court ruled 8
to 1 that man may be convicted in
; state courts on the basis of wire-
| tap evidence obtjoned in violation
of federal law. Wiretap vidence
has been inadmissible in fede-nl
| courts . ver since an important de-
cis'on on the issue in 1937.
Justice Sherman Mint*>n, win
rieidered th • opinion, cited a pre-
vious lu'ing that evidence is not
necessarily barred from state
courts iust because it can't be us-
ed In federal courts.
Forbids Wiretapoing
Although the teil ral communi-
cations act loibids wiretapping on
p.-n iltv of two vears in jail and-or
a ¥10,000 f.ne, the practice is com-
mon among federal, state and lo-
cal law enforcement officers as
well as private detectiv -s and oth-
er operators.
Monday's decision upheld the con-
viction ^ Texas courts of Tho-
mas Schwartz, a Dallas pawn-
broker, convicted of mastermind-
ing a robbery there. Several of his
conversations with an accomplice,
recorded after the other man had
been arrested, were played to the
trb<! jury.
On the matter of lryalty 1'iths
Clai k said that democracies are not
pov -rless to meet the threat of
disloyalty in times of stress But
s'ii.1 legislatures have to balance
the national inter. :t "against the
often conflicting constitutional
• ights of the individual."
