Col. 9) WASHINGTON (AP) Spies armed with sophisticated listening devices could in the not toodistant future tap your television set if it's hooked to a two-way cable. Without your knowledge, they could listen to and record, the programs you watch, your transactions with" department stores and banks, even your living-room conversations. The new dimension in" electronic eavesdropping would become. possible ith installation of, two-way cable television, a development now being tested in some communities and likely to come into limited use within five years.
Devices to prevent such spying are technically possible, and specialists interviewed said the technology. for converting sets into pervasive spies has outstripped development of legal safeguards. Both public and private cable-TV agencies have virtually ignored the possibility, explaining that other developments demand more immediate attention. Sol Schildhause, chief of the Federal Communications: Commission's said the tapping possibility. "is one of the things we'll look into" after appointment of committees on technology and on state and local regulation of cable systems.
He said tapping is not discussed in FCC's general cable regulations to be announced. soon. "Wet can't deal with everything in one said Geller, special assistant to FCC Chairman Dean. Burch. "I don't mean to indicate that we're not interested." Geller said the committees will "deal with emerging problems, "and if this becomes an.
emerging problem, they will deal with it." Geller: said two way systems remain in a rudimentary stage. Although he agreed they could be tapped, he said "nobody would dream of doing it." The American Civil Liberties Union isn't so sure. Jerrole Oppenheim, staff counsel of the Illinois ACLU; wrote in a recent issue of the national organization's newsletter that: cable TV "could be systems now being installed are being wired in way that two way capability easily could be added later. Stengel said -it is technically possible to shut out potential eavesdroppers with such devices as scramblers or switches attached to A television set blocking all radiation from it. The specialists interviewed said they know of no state or local agency that requires such safeguards in franchise agreemends with cable operators.
Reitman said the ACLU will encourage officials enterin franchise agreements to write in: protective "The critical point," said Stengel, "is shutting off the terminal at home, but is that enough?".
