The council fathers voted 2,158 to 19 in a final vote pre ceding promulgation of the dog matic constitution by Pope Paul VI in a ceremony expected next week. The pontiff will act on the document at public session. An open vote at that time by the council fathers is considered a formality, i Last week the council con. eluded a document on social communications, but compared to the dogmatic constitution on the liturgy, that is considered a secondary decree'. Final votes The document on liturgy has seven chapters. Its general aim is to modernize the forms of worship for greater understand ing. It is the result of two years of preparatory .. commission work, 15 full general meetings at the council last year, subse quent, revisions in commission and a final series of, votes at the current council session. One of the chapters allows for the use of modern languages to replace Latin in baptisms, con firmations, confessions, , com munions, marriages, . holy or ders (ordaining of priests) and extreme unction. The important reforms of the document regarding the Mass are contained in the second chapter, which is long and com plex. Its most widely hailed regulation authorizes bishops to permit the use of modern spok en languages, from English to Swahili, in large parts of the Mass. - Although technically the canon, or central part or tne Mass, is supposed to remain in Latin, the document opens the way for its celebration eventual ly in the language of the wor shipers. The chapter stresses that "the people should not be idle or silent spectators at this mys tery of faith, but should take a conscious, active part." Baker Confident He Will Come Out All Right After Probe WASHINGTON (UPI) - For- mer Senate official Robert G. (Bobby) Baker, target of a wide-ranging investigation of his "outside activities," was said today to feel he is going to come out "all right" when the dust settles. This was reported in a dis patch by Kenneth Schelbel, Washington correspondent for the Puerto Rican newspaper, El Mundo, who interviewed one of Baker's close friends. The friend, who asked not to be identified, told of a chat he had with Baker. It concerned the current investigation into Baker s outside business inter ests while he held the $19,600- a-year post of Senate Demo cratic secretary. Baker resigned under fire Oct. 7. Since that time he has refused to comment publicly on the reports of his many activi ties other than to file a formal deniel in a law suit and to en ter a disclaimer in an action in volving his alleged non-payment of District of Columbia in come taxes, "I'm in good shape on in come taxes," Baker was quot ed as saying. "They can't get me there." Baker has claimed he was an official of the feder al government thus he did not have to pay D.C. taxes. Dis trict tax officials said Baker was a federal employe, not an official, and owed the taxes. The friend said Baker be lieves "the press is not doing me justice some of the stor ies are unnecessary." Baker was quoted as saying that "some vicious stories. . .make me sick." He said his lawyers had advised him against com menting directly on any of the reports, however. Expressed Hope Baker gave no clue as to whether he might "name some names" when he is called to testify before Senate investigate ors. nut nc did icii nis menu "when tilings unravel, 1 11 oe all right." He also expressed the hope that he could remain in Washington. - The friend said that if Baker had lost any sleep over his problems he did not show it. He appeared calm and self-assured as usual and spoke quietly. The widow of Baker's one time partner in a plush $1.2 million Maryland motel testi fied before a closed-door ses sion of the Senate Rules Com mittee Thursday and was said to have opened up "certain avenues" of information for the senators. Sen. B. Everett Jordan, D N.C., chairman of the commit tee, passed that word to news men after the committee ques tioned the widow, Mrs. Ger trude C. Novak, for three hours. Mrs. Novak also partici pated in some Baker transactions. Portland Produce .
