JACKSON, Miss ( — The
use of wiretapping and elec-
tronic eavesdropping equip-
ment increased during Rob
ert F Kennedy’s stint as
U.S. attorney general FBI
Director J Edgar Hoover
said in a letter released Sat-
urday.
Hoover, in a letter to Rep.
H R. Gross, R-Iowa, placed
full responsibility on Ken
nedy, now Democratic sena-
tor from New York
Sen. Kennedy, in a state-
ment issued through his
Washington office, said,
“Apparently Mr. Hoover has
been misinformed.”
He quoted a former FBI
official, who was the Lis-
ion officer between the FBI
and the attorney general, as
saying the only wiretap aut-
horizations which were sub
mitted to Kennedy were in
the serious national security
cases.
Gross w a s in Mississippi
visiting relatives when he re-
ceived the letter from Hoo-
ver.
“Mr. Kennedy, during his
term of office, exxhibited
great interest in pursuing
such matters, and while in
different metropolitan areas,
not only listened to the re-
sults of microphone surveil-
lance but raised questions
relative to obtaining better
equipment,” Hoover wrote
Gross.
Gross had written Hoover
last week questioning wheth-
er the FBI acted with autho-
rity from the attorney gen-
eral in a number of inst-
ances, including eavesdrop-
ping on several Las Vegas
gambling figures and on
Fred B. Black Jr., one of
the business associates of
Robert G. (Bobby) Baker,
former secretary to the Sen-
ate’s Democratic majority.
Hoover said wiretapping
and electronic microphone
surveillance were always
handled in a “carefully con-
tqutexs <

getting peace talks started.

two-word form, VIET NAM,
is used on many maps . . .
However, VIETNAM as

In its favor, also, is the de-
