That left it all pretty much a case of Reynolds' word against McCloskey's. And as far as Bobby Baker was concerned, that was how it would stay. Appearing under subpoena before the committee last week, Baker invoked not only the Fifth Amendment, but the First, Fourth and Sixth, refusing to answer more than 40 Rules Committee questions...
Judge Burger offers a solution: independent boards in each city that would review police illegalities, much as expert investigating teams move in after a plane crash. Consisting mainly of lawyers, but also including policemen, Burger's boards would have the power of subpoena and the authority to recommend disciplinary action. The overriding purpose would not be to subvert the suppression doctrine but to train every policeman to make arrests that will hold up in court...
Among the week's other witnesses was Edward Levinson, a Las Vegas casino operator and Baker pal, who refused to answer some 60 questions. While waiting to testify, Levinson was handed a subpoena ordering him to produce his financial records in Las Vegas next week in a tax case involving Baker. Thus, even as the Rules Committee's low-octane investigation seemed about to run out of gas, Bobby's troubles were beginning to heat...
...seven-member commission appointed by President Johnson to investigate the assassination of John Kennedy got started last week - but just barely. It met twice in Washington's National Archives building, performed a few routine organizational chores, voted to ask Congress for subpoena powers, and called it a week.

In one series of moves starting in April, Rubin obtained a subpoena to examine Powell's financial records. But subpoenas in noncriminal cases cannot be served on Sunday, the only day Preacher Powell can readily be found in New York. Finally nailed at the end of summer, he nonetheless failed to show up in a state Supreme Court. Rubin then started contempt of court proceedings; once more, Powell ducked court orders until a U.S. marshal caught up with him two months later...
