Probers Ask
To See Bakers
Tax Returns
By PAUL HOPE
Star staff Writer

The Senate Rules COMMITTEES
has asked the White House fol-
permission to inspect Robert G
Bobby Bakers income tax re-
turns.
Senator B. Everett Jordan
Democrat of North Carolina,
said the request was made
some time ago. He didn't antic-
ipate any difficulty in getting
the records. The President has
to give his approval before the
Internal Revenue Service can
turn over tax returns to a Con-
greSsional committee.
Senator Jordan, chairman Of
the committee. also said the
committee has obtained from
Federal agencies the records Of
applications and financial
statements filed by Mr.. Baker
in connection with several
loans he made for his private
business ventures.
Total Worth Is Issue
One facet which has inter-
ested investigators working or
the Baker case is whether Mr.
Baker, former secretary of the
Senate Democratic majority
was worth as much as he indi-
Gated on the financial state
mentS.
Senator Jordan told report
ers after a closed meeting yes
terday that the committee has
no intention of investigating
the operation of radio and tele-
vision stations owned by Mrs
Lyndon B. Johnson.
The chairman sharply criti-
cized Representative Gross

Republican Of Iowa. who sug-
gested In a House speech
Thursday that the Senate COM
mittee investigate the LBJ Co.
which operates the stations.
He said the committee may
have to go into" the matter to
some extent ito get the true
facts out.
But he said the committee
has no authority nor inclina-
ton to investigate the LBJ Co.
He said the one thing the
committee may go into per-
tains to life insurance that
President Johnson has with a
Silver Spring Md company
which once listed Mr.. Baker as
a vice president.
Representative Gross claims
the Rules Committee has been
given information that the LBJ
Co. is paying insurance premi-
ums on a $500. 900 policy on
President Johnson's life.
Senator Jordan said the
committee hasn't seen the
slightest indication that there
is anything wrong with any
dealings president Johnson
has made anywhere"
The chairman said a public
h e airing scheduled Tuesday
probably will be the last session
on the Baker case until after
Christmas. Mrs. Gertrude No
yak, widow of a former bust
ness partner of Mr.. Baker, will
testify at that hearing, the
first opened to the public.
Senator Jordan said the
hearing will be in the Senate
Caucus Room of the Old Build
ing, rather than in the smaller
Rules Committee quarters, and
that television coverage will be
permitted.
Yesterday the committee
quizzed Eugene Hancock, a Mi
ami CFla) vending machine
company president, for more
than three hours in executive
session. Mr.. Hancock is a for
mer president of Serv-U Corp,
a vending firm which has fig
ured in the Baker case.

They also stated that the
favorable outcome Of the cleo

month in the face Of Commu-
