WASHINGTON (UPI)-A long about 11:4s a.m., on days when tlie Houm of Representatives is meeting at noon, the pace quick ens. Sometimes it only shifts from lethargy to - languor, but it quickens nonetheless. Reporters in the press gallery begin to vacate their typewrit ers and head (or the doorway. They move at nearly the speed of light a light tank. A bystander unfamiliar with the folkways of the Capitol might wonder what had promot ed the migration. And should he inquire of its nature, his won derment would surely increase. He would be told that the cor respondents crowding around the elevator were on their way to "catch the speaker. " "Catching the speaker" is a daily ritual in the House. As a form of exercise, it compares favorably with catching moon beams. Explains Meaning For the benefit of those not conversant with journalistic jar gon, 1 should explain that re porters do not actually "catch" the speaker in the sense of en compassing him with a lasso or standing under his window with a firemen's net. The term means that they are going to the speaker's regular morning news conference and try to catch him saying some thing newsworthy. Which rarely happens either. Over the years, speakers have been amazingly unspoken. The late Sam Rayburn, D-Tex., developed uncommunicativencss into a fine art. And John W. McCormack, D-Mass., the pres ent speaker, has continued the tradition. For a random sampling of McCormack's style I caught the speaker one morning this week when he admitted newsmen to his sanctum across the corridor from the House chamber. Short Session By my count, reporters got in four questions before the speaker left to preside over the noon session. He replied to all of them with trenchant circum navigation. One newsman wanted to know whether, with the 1963 calendar now down to its last leaf, we could assume that the congres sional adjournament rush was started. "I'm so busy I haven't had a chance to level on that yet," the speaker said, j The other three queries i evoked similar responses. I I personally did not feel aglow with enlightenment, but a vcter I an speaker-catcher told me the ', news conference had been more productive than some he had j attended. I He said there had been times when a speaker responded to j interrogation with "off the rcc lord, no comment." rriLkli 'il "ttrfPn M 1 ' U 1 1 1 tli- ilLili f i Ililtltll Ulli tiillillli HMtLUillt ' liTTlttxfiiltrKk'utH H Member by Invitation National Selected Morticians Your comparison is welcomed . . .

Eugene Thompson, charged with masterminding the "murder-for-hire" of his heiress wife, flatly denied Monday that he had anything to do with the slaying. The crew-cut attorney is charged with first degree mur der in the bludgeon and stab bing slaying of his pretty church-going wife, Carol, 34. The prosecution claims he plot ted the slaying to collect more than $1 million in insurance he had taken out on her life and to start a new life with his paramour. But Thompson, under cross examination by prosecuting at torney William B. Randall, de nied any connection with the murder. Denies Statement He also denied he had asked his sultry divorcee mistress, Mrs. Jacqueline Olescn. 27, to "give me 11 more months" un til he could get enough money to support her. Mrs. Olesen testified previ ously Thompson asked her if she would marry him "or some thing to that effect" if he de posited $10,000 in a bank under her name. Defense attorney Hyam Se gell asked Thompson if he had ever made such a statement. "I did not," Thompson said. Broke Off Affair He said he told Mrs. Olesen "two or three times" during their affair that he would never marry her. He said he broke off the affair late in 1961, told his wife about it, and was for given. Thompson also testified that his relationship with Norman J. Mastrian, an old college buddy charged by the state with be ing .the "middleman in the death plot, centered on six legal matters. The prosecution says Thomp son sought out Mastrian to hire an assassin. Hard-drinking Ko rean War veteran Dick W. C Anderson has admitted the ac tual slaying and testified he was hired by Mastrian. Thompson said he returned a $2,500 retainer fee to Mastrian on March 12. The state con tends the money, coming only six days after the slaying, was a "payoff" to Mastrian for a part in the scheme. Layman's Citation Awarded by AMA PORTLAND (UPI) The American Medical Association Monday awarded its Layman's Citation for Distinguished Serv ice to M. Lowell Edwards, re tired engineer who helped de velop an artificial heart valve.

The labora tory has shipped more than 9, 000 valves, most of which are in use in human hearts all over the world.

(UPI) - A gunman robbed a service sta tion of $78.50 in cash Monday, and then asked the attendant for trading stamps. The attendant, staring down the barrel of a .45 caliber pis tol, added $1.80 worth of stamps to the loot. During all the years you've yearned for an organ for your family, you have probably heard very nice compliments paid to the Hammond Organ. But there's more to our story than these gracious words of praise. Actually, the Hammond Organ is a different kind of instrument than other organs. The difference involves physics, mathematics, musical theory and electro-mechanical engineering. Now, you are about to make that once-in-a-lifctime choice. So read these important facts about organs, and the Hammond Organ. On some happy day . . . very soon . . . c hope someone al your hou.se will race to the key board of a new Hammond Organ; press the keys, and fill jour home with music. At that moment, you will know thai this is, truly, a unique and superior musical instrument. Bui what makes such a difference? The difference comes from outstanding in ventive genius. The whole concept of the Hammond Organ stemmed from a passion for pcrfcclion. So the instrument created is a mar vel not only to musicians and music lovers, but to engineers. The basis of this invention is a tone generating system which even' after more than a quarter-century has not been matched for simplicity, puriiy of tone, nor in the re markable scope of its musical expression. There is no need lo understand the physics of sound waves, or our use of minulc electrical impulses, lo appreciate the Hammond tone system. Let us explain simply that the system works with small rotating metal tone wheels; an electrical method of producing sound w aves; and methods for making and blending thou sands of tone variations. You'll hear five great superiorities in Hammond Organ performance 1. No oilier instrument, no other organ, offers the tonal modulations of Hammond's exclusive Harmonic Drawbars.Toexplain the effect. let's suppose you want the sound of rccds and The New Hammond D-152 Concert Modrl, self-contained, in walnut $3895. The Self-Contained Hammond Organ. From J2550.' Available in 4 Styles, 8 Wcod Finishes. woodwinds. Muve one or more of the Draw bars in or out, anu the "rccdy" quality changes quite magically. Make il soft, mellow, dulcet. Or strong and vibrant. Other organs cannol do this. Instead of mod ulation, you get only a sharp change of lone by pushing tabs. Remember: only Hammond Organs have Harmonic Drawbars. 2. Another exciting and exclusive Hammond invention is Customized Tone Selection. This makes your Hammond Organ Iruly your per sonal instrument, in this way: Our console model organs come from Die dealer's show, room with a conventional "orchestration'' of 1 8 prc-sct tones. These 1 8 sellings arc the ones most generally preferred, for basic organ ef fects. Vet evciy player has an individual car, taste and style. So we now offer Customized Tone Selection, for simple change of your 18 prc-sct tones to any registration you wish. Test a number of combinations if you care to, be fore settling on one. And... your selection can he changed again, easily, al any time. ). Rcvcrbcralion is basic lo true, rich organ cfTccls. Your Hammond has a special rever beration system so unusual it's patented. Play a one-finger melody in your living room, and make it sound as if you were playing in a con cert hall. Make Ihis dcplb of sound as moderate or as big as jou like. From the first time you touch the keyboard. Hammond Palcnlcd Reverbera tion makes you a better musician. 4. 7 he Hammond Organ never needs Inning. By never, we mean hot-. With the basic Hammond tone system, it is physically impos sible for the organ to lose pilch, or produce sour flats or sharps. This is true regardless of heat, cold, humidity, moving or usage. 5. Touch-Response Percussion is a great distinguishing feature of Hammond Organs. Nearly all organs have percussion of some kind, to produce the effect of plucked strings, chimes, xylophone, or emphatic piano tones. But the big Hammond difference is this: with other organs, you gel all percussion or none. Every nolc is percussive until the sw itch is turned off. With Hammond, however, you can bring per cussion in or out on a given note, or phrase or passage. You do (his simply by the way you touch (he keys. Nol exclusive, but choice Sonic of these great Hammond features, as noled, arc exclusive. Others, equally important lo your satisfaction, arc simply the marks of uncompromising quality found in ali products I li.it arc finest in their field, Hammond cabinets, for example, arc crafted w ith the same care and attention to detail as all mechanical elements. Woods are selected with careful cc, and worked with loving care. You will notice the special lustre of a Hammond cabinet instantly. Your guesls will notice it, invariably. A bout the money . . Are Hammond Organs terribly expensive'.' No. Can you actually buy a Hammond lor about the same money you had in mind for some other organ'.1 Yes. Model for model, and type lor type, Hammond Organs arc certainly in the same price brackets as any reputable organs. It you pay much less, you get much less. I j4 i.niiii'1?""'"
