steadily. More gas is being discovered every year
than is used.
Proven reserves of natural gas are now at an
aIl-time high. At the end of 1862, they had risen
to 273 triIIion cubic feet. This is nearly double
the amount in 1916.

Natural gas is now being found in new areas

These huge reserves are your assurance there

Regardless Of where the trail

By PAUL HOPE
star STAFF Writer

The Senate investigation Of
Robert @. Bobby Baker is
ready to roll. But there Is a
growing body Of opinion that It
won't role over much more
than Mr.. Baker.
Federal investigators are
tanning out In all directions as
the list Of revealed Baker en-
terprises continues mushroom
ing. But how much Of the in
formation they dig up viii be
made officially public is prob
lem atical. This Is especially
true Of any that might involve
hightinks in higher places than
Mr.. Baker occupied.
Mr.. Baker isn't seen on Capt.
tol Hill these days and his for
mer friends are getting more
gunshy by the minute. It's hard
to find anyone who will admit
having been Q real pal Of the
former Senate Democratic ma
tcrity secretary.
One Of Mr.. Bakers former
Capitol Hill friends has gone so
far as to retain Edward Ben
nett Williams. the nationally
known Washington criminal
lawyer.
Retained by Ex-Aide
Mr.. Williams confirmed yes
terday that he has been re-
tanned by Scott I. Peek, former
administrative assistant to
Senator Smathers, Democrat of
Florida.
Mr.. Williams also confirmed
that he is representing Miss
Mary A. Martin, former secre-
tary In Senator Smathers' Of
flee.
Mr.. Peek re Gently left his
post with Senator s m q Tiers
and went to Florida. Miss Mar
tin, who occupied Mr.. Bakers
Washington town house with
Miss Carole Tyler, former Sec
rotary to Mr.. Baker, also is re-
ported to have gone to Florida.
3 Agencies Checking
The investigators are follow
ing leads from Puerto Rico to
Hawaii as they probe the
financial dealings Of the for
mer Senate page who rose to
the influential post Of majority
secretary at the age Of %.
The Internal Revenue Serv-
ice is reviewing his income tax
reports. The Federal Home
Loan Bank Board Is investigat-
ing the operations Of q Wiscon-
sin insurance firm In which
stock acquired by Mr.. Baker
formed a cornerstone of his re-
puted financial empire.
With the help Of the FEEDER
al Bureau Of Investigation, the
Justice Department Is running
down more than so leads-from
Haitian meat deals to South
Carolina cemetery lots.
Promises to Cooperate
The Justice Department has
told the Senate committee that
it will cooperate in the Senate
investigation. But whether 1t
viii turn over all its informa-
ton to the committee, or even
whether the committee will
want it all, remains to be seen.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-11-17

There Is considerable specu-
lation that the Kennedy admin
iStration is not anxious for the
probe to go beyond Mr.. Baker.
And there are those In the
Senate who hope the commit
tee won't get carried away, and
that If it finds any unmention-
ables in the dirty wash It viii
have the decency to hang them
inside a pillow case.
The public has been in
trigued by hints Of play girl ac-
tivities and influence peddling
In high places.
But q source close to the in
vestigation speculate that
some Of the broader avenues of
inquiry may be stifled.
Predict Silence
Despite reports that Mr.. Bak-
er has talked about blowing
the whistle" on people In high
7,aces If the heat isn't taken
eff him, some persons close to
The Senate probe predict he
viii respectfully decline to an
swer questions when brought
before the committee.
The Senate Rules Commit
tee, which is conducting the
investigation, has been charged
specifically with fin ding out
whether the activities Of Mr..
Baker or any other present or
former Senate employe have
involved conflicts Of interest
or other improperly"
The Senate, by resolution,
authorized the investigation. 1t
took more than q month for
the committee to find q general
counsel to spearhead the probe.
The general CT unset, an
nounced last week, Is Lennox P.
McLendon. 73-year-old North
Carolina lawyer, who was Sc
lected by Committee Chairman
B. Everett Jordan, Democrat Of
North Carolina.
To Pursue Probe
Senator Jordan declared that
the committee will pursue the
investigation wherever 1t leads,
including into any Senator's
office.
But Senator Jordan and Mr..
McLendon seemed, in their
statements to the press, to en-
phasize that the committee was
directed to investigate business
interests of employees or former
employees.
The easy-going Senator Jor-
dan said with considerable en-
phasis last week that no Sena-
tor has been implicated up to
date in material given the COM
mittee.
Prodding the com mittee
though. is Senator John ]. VIII
liams, Republican Of Delaware,
whose speciality is roofing out
improperly in government.
Senator williams is conduction
his own investigation Of the

material given the committee
so far has come from him.
