The sobbish sounds of fiercely blown

a grand opera aria disturbed the ante
session quiet of the House office building
about noon today. Everybody within hear
ing distance knew at once that Lewis
Miller, clerk of the House District COM
mittee, had come pack to town and that
the committee, being officially represented
once more, was ready for business at the
old stand.
Two members of the House Office build
ing police force were standing near the
elevator shaft on the third floor when the
weepy strains first fractured. the air. Re-
membering some urgent business in the
basement they descended-in silence.
Il wouldn't mind so much,'' said one
of them, when they reached the tunnel,
IF he'd only play something with a tune
to it. like Comrades or After the Bali

Then what?' asked Cop Number 1.
Why replied Cop Number 2, as he
fiicked a bit Of dust from his sleeves with
his little finger, that was the air from
Lucy de Sammermore.'
Cop Number l received this information
in silence. He shook his head and sighed.
GOSH he remarked after an interval,
"but I'll bet they treated her rough"
Mr.. Miller is devoted to his flute. He
has played it all his life. The whole
Miller family is fond Of music. .Out in
Lansing, where he used to live, he led an
orchestra composed exclusively of MEM
bers of his immediate family. Since he
has been in Washington, without the
family, his principal source of consolation
has been his flute. and every afternoon
about four thirty, during the session. he
starts IN. Lots of people have COM
mented on his playing, and one southern
congressman who has no appreciation of
music once remarked that from dis
lance it couldn't be told from cats.
