Cites Discrepancy In Baker Evidence WASHINGTON (UPD — Sen. Carl T. Curtis. R-Neb. said today Senate investigators should dig deeper into a conflict in testimony in the Bobby Baker case involving White House aide Waiter Jenkins. Curtis said that Senate Rules Committee, which is investigating Baker’s outside business interests while he was a Senate official, should call Albert G. Young, president of the MidAtlantic Stainless Steel Corp., of Silver Spring, Md. Curtis said Young would be an “objective witness” in the biggest discrepancy found in the inquiry —a difference in statements by Jenkins and by Don B. Reynolds, an insurance agent-friend of Baker’s. Jenkins, one of President Johnson’s top assistants, swore in an affidavit that he did not ' know about arrangements by which Reynolds purchased advertising time on a television station KTBC in Austin, Tex., owned by the LBJ Co. Reynolds told the committee he had talked with Jenkins about the advertising. He said he purchased the advertising in an effort to meet competition for life insurance policies he wrote on Johnson, then Senate Democratic leader. But having no use for the $1,208 worth of air time, Reynolds sold it to Young whose firm has national distribution. Young has given the committee letters concerning the transaction. He was questioned Tuesday by staff investigators but committee counsel L. P. McLendon said he did not have a report. Chairman* B. Everett Jordan, D-N.C., has said he did not want to call Young “because we are not investigating tinware.” But Curtis said Young was “the important person” in the dispute and should testify.
