 However, New Hampshirite' s pent-up rage exploded on Baukages the other day when he interrupted Tobey several times during the cross-examination of witness.
 You've been making yourself a little too prominent around here, '' Tobey shot at the B. and O. repre- sentative. Suppose you go over there and sit down-and shut up!'
 So MT. Baukages, who draws $l8,- 800 year from the B. and O., has now been more silent.
 Note-Senator Tobey is interested in the peculiar way the B. and O. gave juicy jobs to REC officials at the time it obtained lush REC loans.

 TWO IMPARTIAL" SENATOR'S
 It looks as if the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is wasting money by hiring lawyers. It seems to have two lawyers in the persons of Sen- ator Capehart of Indiana, the mu- sic master, and Senator Willis Ro- bertson of Virginia, who took the place Of Carter Glass.
 One a Republican, the other a Democrat, both have been acting as defenders of the B. and O. in Senator Tobey's probe of the rail- roads heavy loans from Jessie Jones old Reconstruction Finance Corporation
 Chairman Tobey of the Senate Banking Committee at first was dubious about the pro-railroad questions asked by Capehart and Robertson. He had reason to be For 1t was soon obvious that their questions were being ghost written by B. and O. men attending the hearing. In fact, there was no se- cret in RobertSon's case Frederick E. Baukages. B. and O. attorney openly and hrazenly gave the Vir- ginia Senator little slips of paper with jotted questions to ask wit nesses
 Capehart has been more discreet He uses middle man. One of his office assistants, Dewey Waas, takes the questions from B. and O's Baukages in the corridor outside the hearing room and later passes them to the Indiana Senator. Sen ator Tobey ground his teeth when

 Ellen Staying

Austin Nelson, charged with the staying of Jim Ellen in Juneau last December, today pleaded not guilty to first degree murder in U. s. District Court here.
 Nelson, who is now on his third attorney, today secured the legal services of Henry A. Roden who will represent him without any re- muneration. When first arrested. Nelson engaged H. L. Faulkner who was forced to withdraw from the case because of forthcoming trip out of town. Nelson secured the temporary services of William l.. Paul, Jr previous to his arraign- ment last week but Paul withdrew this morning when it developed that Nelson could not fulfill his promise to pay for legal services.
 Nelson, although he says he can- not pay for legal services, refused to sign papers which would permit the court to appoint an attorney to represent him and be compensated by the government.
 Nelson was to have entered his plea this morning but, because of his difficulties in securing counsel, did not make his answer to the charges until this afternoon.
 Judge Harry E. Pratt set the time for Nelson's trial as 10 am., Thurs day, April To-

to secure permits to retain for sale one pound of halibut with each seven pounds of other salable spec ies of fish caught incidentally while fishing for other species dur ing a limited period after closure of the areas to halibut fishing. The winter closed season. closure of the Masset and Timbered Islet nursery areas throughout the entire year, the application of the minimum size limit to the halibut that are landed, and the prohibition of the use of dory gear or nets for the capture of halibut, are continued without change.
 Tagged Haliout
 To provide for the return of tag ged halihut, the l947 regulations allow vessels, regardless of the type of gear used and the season of the year, to retain and land tagged halibut, provided such tag ged halibut are brought to the at tention of the Commission or en- forcement officers while the tag is still attached.
 The Commission anticipates that the catch of halibut on the Pacific coast in l947 will amount to 55,O00,- 900 pounds, an increase of more than 25 percent over the catch that the unrestricted fishery took in the year before regulation began. This greater catch will be taken with one-third less fishing effort than was required to take the smaller catch of that earlier year.
