Catching Speaker
Daily House Ritual
. United Press International .
. 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."

Thompson Denies
Role in Planning
Murder of Wife
MINNEAPOLIS Minn. (UPO
Dapper criminal attorney T.
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.

Victim Adds Stamps
To Loof of Robber
SAN JOSE, Calif. (UPI) - A
gunman robbed a service sta

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.

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.
