wiretapping authorized by the attorney general and approved by a federal judge The question before the court is whether applications signed by Sol Lindenbaum executive assistant to former Atty Gen John N Mitchell are valid The government in requesting the high court decide the matter said if the wiretaps were found to be illegal there could be a “major disruption of the government’s efforts to control organized crime” It said 18 cases now pending in circuit courts and 35 cases in district courts would be affected by the ruling The government contended Mitchell was personally responsible for the wiretap applications even though Lindenbaum signed them It said Lindenbaum acted as Mitchell’s “alter ego in such matters” REVISED PROCEDURES The Justice Department has revised its procedures since the Circuit Court decision All applications for wiretaps now are signed by Atty Gen Richard Kleindienst In another action today the court let stand the contempt citation of a Harvard professor
