Into Texas' unpredictable political picture has swept a new name, a new face, and a new third party-all rolled into the form of a squat, barrel-chested, brass-voiced character named John Milton Addison. A man of infinite talents, Addison, 36, is the announced candidate for Governor under the party banner he created for that purpose: the "Clean 'Em Out Right Party." The label was designed to fit the Democratic "ins," but may apply also aptly to Addison himself. A federal grand jury in Fort Worth last week returned a 24-count indictment against Addison...
...some of the lenders themselves-dentists, schoolteachers, businessmen, an accountant, and lots of old ladies. When he was on trial for theft and conspiracy last year in San Antonio, his supporters showed up in the courtroom wearing white ribbons that proclaimed: I AM A SATISFIED LENDER TO JOHN MILTON ADDISON (he was acquitted). Twice, in the past five months, his satisfied lenders gave $200-a-plate dinners for him. They have also turned out regularly for revival-style meetings to cheer him on in his fight against "the interests." Typical performance: "You understand I can take your money and tear...

And the publicity, he figured, would help him get certification for his "Clean 'Em Out Right Party" and get his gubernatorial campaign under...
When he steps from the podium next season after leading the Seattle Symphony in the premiere of a piano concerto by Leon Kirchner, Conductor Milton Katims will stop at' the Orpheum movie theater. There, before an audience of symphony patrons, he will engage the soloist of the evening, Pianist Leon Fleisher, in a three-game pingpong match. Katims may lose, for Fleisher has a widely feared forehand slam, but he expects to collect about $10,000 from spectators for the symphony's sustaining fund...
...showmanship, Brooklyn-born Milton Katims. 50, is a solidly gifted musician who has given Seattle the best orchestra in its somewhat chaotic music history. A first-rate violist. Katims played in the NBC Symphony under Toscanini for ii years, and studied the Toscanini technique. In rehearsal he is still given to shouting Arturo-isms: "Dream with me!" and "Make it barbaric!" The Dustman. When Katims arrived in Seattle in 1954, the city was still trying to forget its last permanent conductor, France's Manuel Rosenthal, who was for bidden re-entry to the U.S. in 1951 for perjuring himself...
