By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International " WasMngtoh’* newsmen and women need to sharpen their questions and to improve their tactics and strategy if the presidential news conference is to flourish as it should. President Johnson’s first news conference in the elaborate form and size to which the institution has become accustomed took place last week. Except for a carefully prepared and newsworthy statement read by the President at the outset, the news conference was pretty much a bust. The President was able to deal with most of the questions with pleasgnt little . flights into the area of sweetness and light in whichr he frankly recognized the seriousness of a given situation but permitted himself hope for improvement. Not once, for example, did a questioner have or seize the opportunity of asking a follow-up question. Follow - up questions are essential if a newsman is to break through official reluctance to answer the tough ones. Should Compel Answers The simple facts of the situation are that the newsmen and the official, be he President or lesser fry, are opponents in a news conference. If the official parries or otherwise avoids direct answers to direct questions, the official wins the conference. If the reporters compel answers, they and the public are the winners. President Johnson won last week's news conference. There is no doubt about that. Some questions were self-defeating, as for example when he was asked to appraise the political impact of the Bobby Baker case. Johnson rolled with that one, saying that the Baker case was before the Senate where the proper action would be taken when all of the facts were in. The general nature of the question practically invited the general nature of the Johnson response. The Baker case could have been opened up wide at last week’s news conference by picking Bobby Baker up right where the President left him when he discussed that farfious stereo at’ an informal news conference some weeks ago. The President said then that he saw nothing unusual in receiving such a gift from Bobby Baker because the Baker and Johnson families occasionally exchanged gifts. Question Gifts The next and obvious question would be: What gifts, Mr. President, did the Johnson family give the Baker family, and when? ‘ Such questions as those would be difficult to avoid by reference to the Senate. The President could, of course, refuse to answer any question. The President was asked what he meant in his Californii speech by placing great empha-

sis on his warning that outsiders who interfered in Viet Nam were playing a dangerous game. “That’s what I said and that’s what I meant,” was the substance of the President’s reply. There was no follow-up on that either although it is obvious that the President’s reply did not in anyway illuminate or clarify a situation about which the public is increasingly confused. The function of the presidential news conference should be the information —not the confusion—of the public. Probers Disagreed Over Witnesses WASHINGTON (UPI) — Senate investigators disagreed today on how many more witnesses should be called at hearings on the financial affairs of former Senate aide Robert G. (Bobby) Baker. Lennox P. McLendon, special counsel for the Senate Rules Committee, said there were only three witnesses left that he was ‘in a position to say have knowledge that is pertinent.” He said there might be others, depending on reports from investigators in the field. Sen. Howard W. Cannon, D - Nev., supported McLendon and the committee staff. He said the inquiry should be ended unless investigators could produce a new aspect to the case. Scott Disagrees But Sen. Hugh Scott, R-Pa., disagreed. said “we have a lot of witnesses and we think they should be called.” Scott said he would list their names at a closed session, adding that all had been mentioned in previous testimony. All indications point to a closed committee meeting within the next few days at which McLendon is expected to outline the status of" the investigation and possibly make his recommendation for a termination date. The three witnesses on tap are Ben Sigelbaum, a Miami real estate man; Jack B. Cooper, a wealthy Miami business- d man, and Scott I. Peek, former administrative assistant to Sen. George A. Smathers, D-Fla. Location Unknown Committee investigators and U.S. marshals have been unable to track down Sigelbaum and Cooper to serve them with subpoenas. Cooper was reported at sea on an excursion. McLendon said Peek had cooperated with interviewers. The committee counsel said he would decide shortly ' when to call Smathers’s former aide.
