UNITED
A six-man majority affirm
ed the conviction of German
S. Lopez of North Falmouth
for bribing an internal rev
enue agent, even though the
agent was carrying a minifon
recorder, which later was
played in court.
Justice John M. Harlan said
the Internal Revenue Service
used the device "only to ob
tain the most reliable evi
dence possible in which the
government's own agent was
a participant and which that
agent was fully entitled to
disclose."
"The device was not plant'
ed by means of an unlawful
physical Invasion of Lopez'
premises under circumstances
which would violate the
Fourth Amendment," Harlan
said. The Fourth Amendment
bars unreasonable searches
and seizures.
This case involves no
'eavesdropping' whatever in
any proper sense of that
term, Harlan added.
Takas Opposite View
Justice William J. Brennan
Jr. took the opposite view for
26 pages. He said the only
way to avoid situations like
the one in the Lopez case was
to keep your mouth shut all
the time.
The Fourth Amendment
was not designed to protect
secrecy, Brennan said, but to
enforce each individual's
right to determine to whom
he would communicate his
thoughts.
The high court ruled In
1028 in a famous case that
wiretapping did not constitute
an unreasonable search.
This decision, according to
Brennan, arose from the fact
that "the framers of the Con
stitution had not been far-
sighted enough to foresee the
Invention of the telephone.
Brennan and two colleagues
Justices William O. Douglas
and Arthur J. Goldberg - said
it is about time the 1928 rul
ing was cast aside. The course
of the court's decisions has
been "out-flanked" by tech
nology, they said.
'If electronic surveillance
by governments becomes suf
ficiently widespread, and
there is little in prospect for
checking it, the hazard that
as a people we may become
hag-ridden and furtive Is not
fantasy," the Brennan opin
ion said.
Wilderness School Outlined by Bjerke at Chamber Roundtable
Future plans for a school I last summer in the Three into the mountains. Bjerke of 10 to 1. i in Mprifnrri fnr Hphrinfino ar. i ho in ii .i ,
Future plans for a school
designed to teach people how
to survive "off the land" in
a wilderness area were out
lined by the school's founder
and director at Monday noon
luncheon of the Mcdford
Chamber of Commerce
Roundtable.
The director. Odd Bjerke,
a native of Norway, said the
staff for the school has al
ready been selected and that
applications are being re
ceived for the first session,
which is scheduled for June
24. Fee for the 10-day train
ing course is $115, and any
one over 14 years of age is
eligible for enrollment. In
formation about the program
may be received by writing
to post office box 1181, Mcd
ford. By way of illustrating the
activities of the training ses
sion, Bjerke showed a color
film taken of a survival trip
made by a group of 20 persons
last summer in the Three
Sisters Wilderness area.
Bjerke explained that a
two-day school was held prior
to departure for the uplands
to offer "academic" instruc
tion on some of the basics of
outdoor existence and condi
tion them mentally for the
experience. During the inter
val, the trainees "ate well",
Bjerke said, to prepare them
"for the ordeal ahead."
"We turned down 75 ap
plicants for the trip," he said.
"This is not a boy's game."
The speaker stressed the im
portance of "attitude" in out
door survival, noting that it
can often make the difference
whether "one comes out alive
or not."
He said two men failed on
the trip last summer for "psy
chological" reasons and had
to leave the group to return
to civilization.
Virtually "nothing is tak
en along on the 7-day trip

Hatfield did not hold his reg

today.
into the mountains, Bjerke
said, except clothing and a
survival kit containing a few
basic essentials like fishhooks,
knives, twine and a piece of
foil with which to cook. No
food was taken on the outing.
A brightly colored parachute
was included for use as the
covering for a teepee.
"The first few days were
the hardest," the speaker said,
"because the men were reluc
tant to eat slugs, snails, snakes
and fish-head soup. But they
soon got used to eating what
was available."
Members of the group were
given instruction in a variety
of activities, including build
ing snares and traps, shelter
construction, preservation of
food, edible plants and ani
mals and primitive cooking.
Values Changs
Bjerke remarked how dif
ferent a man's values become
in the wilderness. "Out there.
it's not what you own," he
said, "but rather what you
are that counts. In Medford,
a $50 bill will buy a lot of
groceries, but in the moun
tains you might be grateful
to be able to light a fire with
it."
On the fifth day, in the
vicinity of the south Sister
mountain, an airplane made j
a food drop containing chick
en and ice cream. It was the i
only deviation from the "live- i
off-the-land" policy during the
10-day trip.
The scenery was spectacu
lar and varied on the trip, he
said. The party crossed three
live glaciers, and encountered
one "dead lake" that actually
had iceberg's floating in it.
He described the area around
Kidney lake as a "paradise"
abounding with fish, grouse,
rabbits and squirrels.
Selection of Medford
At the conclusion of his
presentation, Bjerke was
asked why Medford had been
selected as the site for devel-!
opment of the Wilderness Sur
vival school. He replied Med
ford was an ideal location be- J
cause of its position between
metropolitan areas to the
north and south. He said the
variety of flora and fauna,
together with the abundance
of lakes and streams in the
high country, also make the
location suitable. The climate,
too, is good, he said.
The school this summer will
feature a three-day academic
period, followed by a seven-
day outing in wilderness areas
either around Marble moun
tain, or in the Trinity Alps
in northern California.
Bjerke said he expects to ;
have about 30 people in the
field at one time. A medical
doctor will go along on each
outing, and there will be suf
ficient instructors to main
tain a pupil-instructor ratio
On the morning of the 10th
day, the students will return
to the academic school site
in Medford for debriefing ac
tivities and a prepared meal.
Each student who successful
ly completes the course will
be given a diploma ami a
school insignia, according to
a brochure describing the)
school.
