George D. Smathers iD-Fla.) lied and "put out a big story" to House investigators last spring bout his connection with the disputed Miami TV Channel 10 case. Baker made the statements in a short-tempered exchange which ended with attorney Paul A.

A. Frank Katzentine, was cross-examining Baker in a court-ordered investigation of the Federal Communications Commission award of Channel 10 to a National subsidiary. A hearing examiner had recommended Katzentine's WKAT. for the Channel 10 award, and a House Investigation last spring aired charges of influence in the award to National. READS FROM LETTER Baker specifically took issue with a letter Smathers wrote to the House Legislative Oversight Committee last March regarding a visit by Baker and his attorney to Smathers' office.

Porter read from Smathers' letter a statement that Baker was so "over-bearing and abusive" that he was asked to leave "on a permanent basis." "That's a lie," interjected Baker. He said he was not asked to leave but. on the contrary, Smathers was "very polite." Baker said Smathers "was afraid to appear" before the House committee, so he wrote the letter and put out "a big story." He also said the letter was written after he Baker had asked Smathers and other senators to resign because of "conniving" in the Channel 10 case.
