II you are hale and hearty
and in the market for an ex-
hilarating few hours meet a
park naturalist in the parking
lot near the Anglers Inn, 1O8O1
Macarthur boulevard, Mont
gomery County, Nd, at 2 pm.
on Saturday for a hike on
Bear Island.
Now WebSter's says that
ito hike" means ito walk or
tramp with swing gait"
which sounds pretty easy, but
it also says that it is ito
march laboriously, to 60 with
exerti0n or effort" which
sounds a bit more like what
you are apt to encounter on
Bear Island.
1t is the widest, rockiest
area along the Potomac. It's
feeling of isolation is accen-
tuated by the sound of the lit
tie falls all around it. It's four
footed and fine-feathered in
habitants can boast prickly
pear cactus, and all sorts of
birds, and deer, and a billy
goat trail.
All of which goes to show
that you will spend a perfect
ly lovely afternoon if you de-
eide to 60 on the hike-if you
are wel-Shod. Heavy shoes
with rubber SoleS, or sneakers
are simply a must. Then you
can cast care to the river
winds, and enjoy every ener-
getic minute, every little
CTSdIuIe, anu ever new view.

He got on the wrong train
in Berlin which took him to
East Berlin. there he was taken
into custody by Red agents who
tried to solicit him as a spy
and threatened to inform
American authorities that he
had been on a train which was
off-limits to Americans.
The captain made several ad-
ditional trips to East Berlin at
the insistance of the Red
agents but claimed he never
gave them any information.

tee should make q full scale
scrutiny" Of the LBJ Co.
through which Mrs. Lyndon
johnson held radio and televi-
sion interests in Texas and Ok
lahoma. The White House an
nounced last week that Mrs.
johnson has placed the hold
ings in trust while here hus-
band is in the White House.
Mr.. Gross rang the LBJ Co.
into the Baker inquiry by stat
ing that the Rules Committee
has information indicating that
the LBJ Co. has been paying
life insurance premiums on a
5000. 900 policy held by a Silver
Spring Md insurance firm
which once listed Mr.. Baker as
a vice president.
The records Of the Federal
Communications Commission
should be opened and exam
ined with regard to the opera
tons Of this company since its
inception" Mr.. Gross said. IF
this radio and television opera
ton is as proper as we are
told it is by the LBJ interests,
there should be no objection to
full disclosure and examina-
ton. But if, as has been alleged
by potential competitors, it rep
resents a monopoly in CONNER
cial television in a city of 200.-
900 then the manner Of acqui-
sition and maintenance of the
monopoly becomes a matter of
serious and public concern"
The principal LBJ Co. hold
ing is a television and radio
station in Austin, Tex.
The johnson family" said
Mr.. Gross "pilled up a multi
million-dollar fortune in this
Government-controlled radio
and television interest while
Lyndon johnson was in Gov
eminent office, prior to becom-
ing President"

Baker Probers Set to Quiz
Party Girls if Necessary

Not only that, Mr.. Gross told
the committee, headed by
mild-mannered Senator Jor-
dan, Democrat of North Caro-
lima, that it ought to investigate
the radio and teIeviSion hold
ings Of President Johnson's
family.
And Mr.. Gross said on the
floor of the House that Presi-
dent johnson and the congress
sional leadership should give
assurances that there will be
no effort to kill or limit the
Bobby Baker probe"
The harried committee,
whose main job was housekeep-
ing chores until it was handed
the Baker investigation two
months ago. met yesterday to
argue procedural questions.
The major issue was whether
committee members will be al
lowed to question witnesses
about reports that party girls
were connected with some of
the financial dealings under
scrutiny by the committee. The
issue was raised by Senator
Scott, Republican of PennSyl-
vania, who was rebuffed last
week when he tried to take up
this line of questioning with a
male witness.
With some of the Republican
members considering taking
the issue to the Senate floor or
walking out on the inquiry, the
Democrats agreed to recall the
witness for another closed ses-
sion If Senator Scott still want
ed to ask his questions.
Senator Jordan, who thought
the authorization for the in
quiry was quite broad enough,
told reporters that the commit
tee would go into every ger
name" issue and that "if it
brings in party girls, we'll bring
them in"
The chairman said the COM
mittee is going ahead full
speed. implying there is moth
ing to reports that the Baker
inquiry is losing steam.
He announced that the COM
mittee will hold its first public
hearing Tuesday. Testimony
will be taken from Mrs. Ger
trude Novak, widow of a for
mer business partner of Mr..
Baker.
Mrs. Novak, who lives in
nearby maryland and works
for the Senate Select Commit
tee on Small Business, already
has testified in closed session
about several real estate ven
lures and stock transactions
her late husband was involved
in with Mr.. Baker.
Over in the House. Represen-
tative Gross was telling his col

from the Rules Committee of

Sources Of Food Fats

Three main food groups furnish
about 80 per cent of the fat we
eat, say USDA food economists.
Food fats and oils, including
butter, bacon, and salt pork, furn-
ish about SO per cent of the fat in
the average persons diet. Meat,
poultry, and fish account for 25
percent of the fat. Dairy products
(other than butter) provide Is
percent.
Although each of these food
groups represents a major source
of fat, don't eliminate them from
your diet. They offer many nutri-
ents that are vital to good health.
To reduce the fat content of
your diet, USDA's Agricultural
Research Service nutritionists sug-
gest you cook foods in ways that
do not add fat to them; broil or
roast meat, for example. Trim fat
from meats before cooking and at
the table. Select non-fat or low
fat milk, skim milk, buttermilk,
cottage cheese, and ice milk when
