'Catching Speaker' Is A Daily Ritual By DICK WEST United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—Along about 11:45 a.m., on days when the House of Representatives is meeting at noon, the pace quickens. Sometimes it only shifts from lethargy to languor, but it quickens nonetheless. Reporters In the press gallery begin to vacate their typewriters and head for 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 promoted the migration. And should he inquire of its nature, his wonderment would surely increase. He would be told that the correspondents 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 moonbeams. o . £ .. Explains Meaning For the benefit of those not conversant with journalistic jargon, I should explain that reporters do not actually “catch” the speaker in the sense of encompassing him with a lasso or standing under his window with a firemen’s net • The tetm means that they are going to the speaker’s regular morning news conference and try to catch him saying something newsworthy.' Which rarely happens either. Over the years, speakers have been amazingly Unspoken. The late Sam Rayburn, D-Tex., developed uncomm'unicativeness into a ’ fine art. And John W. McCormack, D-Mass., the present 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 circumnavigation. One newsman wanted 1 to know whether, with the 1963 “calendar now down to its last leaf, we could assume that the congressional adjournament rush was started.. “I’m so busy I haven’t had a chance to level on that yet,” the speaker said.

Annual Indiana Society Dinner Saturday Night By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — If you throw a stone in the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago Saturday night, you’ll hit a Hoosier politician. Most of the Indiana Democratic and Republican bigwigs will ! assemble in that hotel for the 49th annual dinner of the Indii ana Society of Chicago. They have done so for many years. Dinner guests in the past have included many political giants, now deceased. Among them have been Sen.s Jhdmas Taggart, Harry New, Frederick Van Nuys, Samuel D. Jackson and James E. Watson, and Govs. Ed Jackson, Harry G. Leslie and Paul V. McNutt, and Will Hays, who served as GOP' national chairman and Postmaster General. x Sens. Vance Hartke and Birch E. Bayh, Jr., and Governor Welsh will head the list of current potent politicos at the gathering Saturday. Also attending will be a number of former governors and a host of 1964 candidates for senator, governor and various state offices. u , Those who actually belong to the Indiana Society of Chicago will pay $25 and guests will be charged S4O. Most of the politicians nevertheless believe that it is worth their while to pay these high prices for the big party,' which includes a spirited cocktail session prior to the dinner. Also, beginning abdut noon Saturday, a dozen or more hotel suites will provide hospitality for the political chieftains and representatives of special interests dealing with various state and national enterprises. In this convivial atmosphere, many big political deals have been consummated, and this year will be no exception, according to all indications. The politicos have been under wraps since the assassination of President Kennedy and are eager to resume their manipulations. They cannot do so at public meetings because of the period of mourning, but private talks are something else. Probable topics will be the rivalry of State Sen. D. Russell Bontrager, Elkhart, and former State Sen. Edgar D. Whitcomb, Seymour, for the GOP senatorial nomination: whether Sen. Hartke will be opposed for renomination; the future of Welsh: the chances of Lt. Gov. Richard &. Ristine to remain as frontrunner for the Republican gubernatorial bid; the standings of the numerous Democratic gubernatorial. aspirants, and the strength op Presidetit Johnsoh this state. The society this year will honor the Associates Investment Co., Inc., South Bend, founded by the late Ernest Morris, former Indiana GOP national committeeman. Entertainment will be provided by numerous stage, screen, television and radio headliners. Blaine Cummings, vice-presi-dent and general manager of the Illinois Bell Telephone Co., a native of Lamar in Spencer County, is president of the society.

Reorganization Os Schools Long Act

By HOBTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (U P I) School reorganization, like taxes, will go on forever. “Reorganization is a neverending process,” Dr. J. B. Kohlmeyer, director of the State School Reorganization Commission said “Conditions constantly change, population shifts, and smaller units wonder if it wouldnot be better education to be larger.’’ Kohlmeyer has headed Indiana’s school reorganization program since it went into effect July 1, 1959. Aim of the program was to nudge the smaller high schools into mergers with neighbors so as to provide more courses at less cost. Indiana has 613 high schools of these, there are 63 with 1,000 or more pupils, compared to 32 in 1950 and 54 in 1958. There were 11 high less than 50 enrollment, compared to 75 in 1950 and 22 in 1958. /, Biggest decrease was in the number of 50j89 enrollment high

schools which dropped fr • m 163 in 1958 to 103 last year. ,/ How Far Ta Ride Biggest increase was in the 500-999 pupil schools, which numbered 43 in 1950, 74 in 1958 and 83 in 1962. Kohlmeyer warned, however, that “bigness” is not the aim in school reorganization. “Sometimes the local community must make a decisionhow far are we willing for our children to ride to get more courses?” Kohlmeyer said. “We suggest grade school pupils not ride more than 45 minutes one way and that high school students not ride more than 60 minutes one way.” : He said, however, that with school reorganization, particularly on a county basis, it usually is possible to have shorter routes because the routes may be re-arranged. Decomissioning of high schools under 100 enrollment, which was done recently by the Indiana General Education Commission, for two schools, can be an aid

————————— I I I to reorganization, Kohlmeyer said. Closing dt all ana-room schools effective June, IM4, probably will not ■ make much difference except “people will see a change taking place.*' Reluctance to change the existing situation Is a barrier to school reorganization, Kohlmeyer said. For this reason, the state commission approves formation of metropolitan school districts, even though it considers them to be “transitional in nature.” Kohlmeyer said that such districts allow one portion of a county to go ahead with school reorganization even though “the people in the other part haven’t made up their minds.” Jhe state reorganization commission now lists only 21 of the 92 counties as having completed school reorganization. They are Adams, Blackford, Brown, Decatur, DeKalb, Floyd, Fountain, Jennings, Knox, LaGrange, Miami, Switzerland, Tippecanoe, Union, Vanderburgh, Vermillion, Vigo. Wabash, Warrick, Wayne and Wells. “Still a number of places are trying to persuade the state commission they ought to have small units,” Kohlmeyer said. “The commission has autorized some which do not meet minimum standards, and denied others. Each has been an individual case.”
