Small Countries
Vote to Enlarge
U. N. Bodies

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Dec. II (AP).-The little coun-
tries in the United Nations
ganged up on the big powers
last night and rammed through
resolutions to enlarge the
Security Council from II to IS
members and the Economic and
Social Council from 10 to q
members.
Africans. Asians, Latin Amer
leans and most Western Euro
peans pushed the proposals
through the General Assem-
bly's Special Political Commit
tee over the opposition Of
France and the Soviet Union
and the abstentions Of the
United States and Britain.
They rushed them to the
General Assembly itself for
final approval this afternoon.
But the big powers were in q
position to kill the enlarge
ment. because that takes a U.
N. charter amendment, and
their notifications are neces-
sary to make any amendment
effective. The stated deadline
for notifications was September
/, 1865.
The committee votes we're
96-11 for expanding the Securi-
ty Council and 95-11 for ex-
panding the Economic and
Social Council.

President. Mr.. johnson reaf-
firmed Kennedy policies and
strove to put new emphasis on
the need for international CO.
operation to improve living
standards around the world.
He likened the struggle
against misery and despair"
in Africa, Asia and Latin
America to President Franklin
D. Roosevelt's domestic New
Deal" in the 1930s.
He recalled that when he en-
tered Congress 81 years ago he

third Of our Nation then i'll

Now, on the world scale" he
said, the time has come, as It
came to America 80 years ago,
for a new era of hope-hope
and progress for that one-third
Of mankind still beset by hung
er. poverty and disease"
The President emphasized
that he was not speaking Of a

by any single nation" but of "a

And the third time, appar-
emily forgetting his habit of
dealing with the cabbage. she
politely asked the messenger
Of the Senate Small Business
Committee to stop off at the
office of the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee, where
Mrs. Bobby Baker worked, to
pick up a payment.
Little Bit Shaken
The messenger returned
with $4,000 in bills. Mrs.
Novak was a little shaken at
that. She expected a check
because she is, she says, the
kind of a person who doesn't
like to walk two blocks with
500 in her purse.
She never asked where
Bobby got all the lettuce
and kept it lying around in
the office Of the secretary of

Mrs. Novak did not draw a
large gallery. Too many

gagged in financial transac-

The Rules Committee is in
tereSted in the MGIC stock
transactions because the stock
is reported to be a keystone
Of Mr.. Bakers financial hold
ings.
Mr.. Baker got in on the
ground floor of MGIC, a Mil
waukee firm, and the value of
his stock skyrocketed. He OBJ
tanned at least part of his MGIC
stock before the company re-
ceived a favorable tax ruling in
1860.
Representative ByrneS, who
has said he did not know that
Mr.. Baker had any connection
with the company, was instru-
mental in getting the tax
ruling.
Mr.. Byrnes bought his stock
for $4,000 after the ruling was
obtained. After recent publicity
about his holdings, Mr.. Byrnes
said he planned to sell his stock,
which now is worth about $685.
900, and give the proceeds to a
Wisconsin scholarship fund.
Visit to Mr.. Baker
Mrs. Novak testified that she
and her husband talked about
MGIC stock in early February,
1860. when they were visiting
Mrs. Baker at a hospital, where
she was having a child. She
said Mr.. Baker told the Novaks
that he knew of some stock be-
ing available and asked If the
Novaks wanted to invest.
She said Mr.. Baker at that
time was short of money"
and that she and her husband
agreed to put up $4,000 to buy
the stock.
A check from Mr.. Novak to

Mr.. Baker dated February 8,
1860. for $4,000 was intro
duced by the committee coun-
sci and Mrs. Novak identified
it as being for the stock pur-
chase. Mrs. Novak also identi-
fled a letter written to her
husband about the stock. The
letter was on Senate stationery
with Mr.. Bakers official title
and room number on it.
Mrs. Novak also testified
about sale Of the stock for
which she and her husband
put up the money. The docu-
ments identified by her indi-
Gated the Novaks and the
Bakers sold the stock for
$4,000 and the profits were
split.
Mrs. Novak was asked by
Mr.. McLendon whether, her
husbands death on March 3,
1862, was attributal to his
business dealings with Mr.
Baker. mo. the death was
not attributal so far as the
death certificate is concerned,
Mrs. Novak said, but she said
her husband was depressed to
some extent" by the business
dealings.
Mr.. Novak's death was listed
by Montgomery County au-
thorities as suicide by carbon
monoxide poisoning. Mrs
Novak's attorney, Kenneth D.
Wood, said that Mrs. Novak
expects "at the proper time"
to contest the suicide ruling
I'VE do not concede for O
moment that suicide was in
volved," Mr.. Wood said. Mrs
Novak said earlier that she
had been told that the death
was due to a heart attack.

and her husband bought Ha-
waiian stock and stock in a
Pickens, S. c., electronics firm
on the advice Of Mr.. Baker.
She did not identify what
company was involved in Ha-

that there was a stock trans
action involving savings and
loan company shares. The stock
in Pickens, Mr.. Bakers home
town, was identified as Sango

Mrs. Novak said she and
her husband bought 500 shares
of the Hawaiian stock and put
up $4,000 for the Pickens
stock. She said she sold the
electronics stock "the other
day" at a tremendous loss"

ers were listed at Mr.. Bakers
former office in Room F-80,

on the occasion of the birth
of a daughter, there was a

was there and Immediately
the conversation turned to
the purchase of Mortgage

stock.
Bobby suggested to Mr.. and
Mrs. Novak the purchase
$4,000 worth of MGIC stock.
The arresting aspect of the
suggestion was that the No
vaks were to put up the
money and Bobby Baker was
to get half the profits.
He Could Be Trusted
The Novaks, said Gertrude,
had such faith that they
knew if there were to be a
loss. Bobby would share that,
too. Il think he could have

PANAMA
Ex-Ambossodor Saws
He Was Kept in Dark

Farland stopped by his Capitol
Hill office a couple months
before he resigned as Ambassa-
dor. He said he thought there
may have been some friction
between Mr.. Farland and Mr..
McGrath and he asked the
Ambassador: Why is it you
and Gene mfr. McGrath) can't
work out your problems?"
Senator Smathers said Mr..
Farlsnd indicated he was
interested in housing for Pana-
ma and would give his decision
on the McGrath housing plan
within 80 days.
Called to Office, He Says
Mr.. Farland said he did not
just happen to stop by Senator
Smathers' office. He said he
was called by Scott I. Peek.
Sen tor Smathers' former
administrative assistant. and
asked to come to the Senator's
office.
Senator Smathers said his
conversation with Assistant
Secretary Martin followed his
meeting with Mr.. Farland. He
said he told Mr.. Martin that
Mr.. Farland had been by to see
him and indicated he would
have a decision on the housing
project soon.
Il was talking about this
project without knowing any
other applications had been
filed. I was complaining rather
vociferously from time to time
about getting housing in Pana-
ma" Senator Smathers said.
Mr.. Farland said that in the
version Of the Smathers Mar
tin conversation related to him,
the Senator repeatedly accused
Mr.. Farland of being "negli-
gent. not cooperative and
dragging my feet"
Mr.. Farland never approved
the project.
Mr.. Adelman said that AID
usually does not approve a loan
guaranty without approval first
by the ambassador to the
country where the project is to
be built. But he said in this
case Mr.. Farland didn't APP
prove or disapprove."
AID Administrator David E.
Bell approved the loan guaran-
ty July 90 without getting a
reply from Panama to a July
II request for assurances that
it stand by its commitment to
participate in the project.
Mr.. Farland resigned his
Panama post in August.
Statement on Smathers
A statement issued from
Senator Smather's office vest
erday and attributed by the
Senator to Robert Goldman, a
public affairs adviser for Mr..
Moscoso at AID, said:
IS ator Smathers has
consistently espoused housing
development in Latin America
as a prime need under the
Alliance for Progress and has
made this clear all along to the
administration, but he has
never argued nor pressed for
any particular application in
any given country.

Most in 500 Bills

Mrs. Novak told the commit
tee that most of the cash she
received from Mr.. Baker was in
$500 bills. She said the cash
payments totaled at least $751;
900 or $4,000, and said the
money was paid over a period
from April, 1862, to January,
1868.
Mrs. Novak said that she
often expressed concern about
not being able to come up with
her share of the Carousel costs,
but that Mr.. Baker would
reassure her. Don't worry, I'll
come up with it,"
She said that at one point
when she expressed worry
about the financial status of
the motel, Mr.. Baker told her
that he had a one-third inter-
est in "a wonderful company

Curtis asked, Did he refer to

More Cash Than Stated
Mrs. Novak said that I'VE
found a little bit more money
there than Mr.. Baker said II
was" She said she took $4,000
and deposited it at the Ameri-
can National Bank in Silver
Spring Asked If this procedure
was unusual Mrs. Novak said it
was not the first time she had
received cash to deposit, that 1t
was not unusual but was the
largest amount she ever had
picked up.
She testified also that on
November IL. 1862, Mr.. Baker
told her to pick up money
from Mrs. Baker at Mrs. Bak-
er's Senate office. Mrs. Novak
said she thought it would be a
check so she asked a messenger
to get it for her.
She said the messenger de-
livered an envelope to her that
had $4,000 in cash. She said
that had she known 1t was 60

picked it up herself.

them from Mr.. Baker at his

Mrs. Novak said yes.
No Idea of Source
The widow was also asked If
Mr.. Baker had ever given her
any reason why he turned over
such large amounts Of cash,
She told the committee she
didn't know.
Didn't it excite your curios-
ity? Did you ever know where
he got this money!"

Novak said. but I have no idea
where the money came from"
Asked If Baker ever turned
over any checks to her, she
said she remembered one large
check drawn on a bank in
Oklahoma City.
Mrs. Novak also told the
committee that after applica-
ton had been made for a

nection with storm damage at

Mrs. Novak is the widow

In this connection the Presi-
dent and the Prime Minister
noted especially the desirability
of early progress on the CO.
operative development of the
Columbia River. The Prim e
Minister indicated that If GER
tain Qualifications and adjust
ments In arrangements pro-
posed earlier could e agreed
on, to be included in a protocol
to the treaty, the Canadian
government would consult at
once with the provincial gov
eminent of British Columbia,
the province in which the Ca
madam portion of the river is
located, with a view to pro-
ceeding promptly with the fur
ther detailed negotiations re-
quired with the United States
and with the necessary action
for approval within Canada.
The President agreed that
both governments should i'm
mediately undertake discus
sions on this subject looking to
an early agreement.
The two governments will
also initiate discussions shortly
on the suitability of present
