Queen Bee Runs House,
Family Her Prisoners

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June Is
(AP).-Allen S. Vaughan, a re-
tired home-loving fellow, might
be the man of the house but a
little queen bee runs it.
He and his wife, besieged by
bees, are prisoners in their own
home. Outside, the little in
sectS swarm against the win
dowS and dive bomb from the
tree tops.
And inside. Mr.. and Mrs.
Vaughan just sit and wait.
There's nothing else we can
do" said the grim-faced Mr..
Vaughan, who started it all
when he plugged up a hole in
the house.
The siege began three weeks
ago. A part of the swarm took
up residence between the in
side and the outside wall of
the breakfast nook.
Bees scare me to death, -
Mr.. Vaughan said, "but I man
aged to plug up the hole" He
did it under cover of darkness.
Then his troubles really be-
gan. The bees buzzed up a
storm.
1T wasn't until about a day
Evening star., 1960-06-26

later that I realized what I
had done. I had sealed the
queen bee and about half the
colony in my wall. The rest
of the colony is on the loose,
and they want in-bad."
Whenever the Vaughans
make noise the bees attack the
house. That's not the half of
it. They keep a watch on the
doors and "they smack up
against the windows and get
up and do it again." Mr..
Vaughan said.
Lately the enemy is believed
to be sending out scouts at
night, harassing those who
think darkness means safety.
Experts tell him just to be
patient and wait for the bees to
die.
"I've been patient - I've
waited three weeks" he sighed
as the grass grew high around
the house. II want to NOW my
lawn, pick my apricots and
spray my orchard"
But Mr.. Vaughan realizes he
hasn't got the say around the
house since a little lady bee
moved in.

MUTUAL IrlenQS IN liberal, LABOR

said to be pressing the match
as an ideal blending of Ivy
League and Main Street, ot
rich-boy and poor-boy back
grounds.
Senator Humphrey has pub
licly advocated the Governor
of his home State, Orval Free
man, for Vice President.
Humphrey Says No
Yesterday, when questioned
by The Star as to the possibil-
ity of taking second spot him
self with the man he fought SO
vigorously in Wisconsin and
West Virginia, Senator Hum
phrey said. Il do not want it
I do not seek it. I wouldn't t

would not reject it. My candi-
date is Orval Freeman"
Senator Kennedy, visiting his
home on Cape Cod, could not
be reached. Aides insist he is
"uncommitted" on his choice
Gov. Freeman, who is attend
ing the Governors Conference
in Montana, said he had mo
comment and no information. 4"
One tangible outcome of the
meeting between the two was
an apology to SenatoN Humph-
rey from Franklin D. Roosevelt,
jr, a Kennedy ally, who in
West Virginia questioned Sen
ator Humphreys war record.
He told Senator Humphrey
both in person and in a letter
his statements were "unneces-
sary and unwarranted."

rey would be the logical man"
for Senator Kennedy to have

Evening star., 1960-06-26

on the television program, Col
lege News Conference, last
Sunday as to who Senator
Kennedy's choice would be if
he wins in Los Angeles, she
said. He would have to have
someone either from the Mid
west or the Far West, and
what he would need is someone
who is strong on the farm ques-
ton and on civil rights, so I
think the logical candidate
would be Senator Humphrey. "
Faces Tough Fight
Senator Humphrey has yet
to indorse Senator Kennedy
publicly for the nomination.
Friends say home problems
have inhibited him. Some Min
nesotans still entertain reser-
vations about Senator Ken
nedy's farm record. Senator
Humphrey is up for reelection
this year.
Governor Freeman faces an
uphill fight in his race, and
Senator Humphreys with
drawal from the State ticket
would weaken it. But in pri-
vate meetings with delegates,
Senator Humphrey has said
he would gladly" support Sen.
Kennedy.
The 49-year-old Senator
Humphrey would bring to SEN
ator Kennedy more than dele
gates, although his STA votes
would make Senator Kennedy's
firSt-ballot nomination a vir-
tual certainty. 1t is Senator
Humphreys popularity among
liberals, farmers and minority
groups that recommend him
to Senator Kennedy.

Gov. James T. Blair, jr., OF

with the suggestion that the

Kidnap Deaths

Star STAFF Writer

FBI Director ]. Edgar Hoover
announced last night that the
Washington musician held in
the murder of Mrs. Margaret
Harold has been charged with
kidnap-murder in the Jackson
family murder case.
Mr.. Hoover said FBI agents
in Baltimore filed a Federal
complaint charging Melvin
Davis Rees, jr., 81, with the
kidnap-murders of Mrs. Car
roll V. jackson, jr., and her g.
year-old daughter Susan Ann.
Mr.. Jackson, 29, and his 18-
month-old Janet were found
dead in Virginia - the State
where they disappeared on the
night of January II, 1859. Mrs.
jackson and Susan Ann were
found in Maryland, thus COM
ing under FBI Jurisdiction on
a kidnapping across State lines.
Other Warrants Sought
Maj. P. w. Crews. executive
officer of the Virginia State
Police, said warrants were be-
ing drawn in Richmond charg-
ing ReeS with numbering Mr..
jackson and the younger
daughter.
The Hoover announcement cli-
makes a Nationwide manhunt
in which all area law-enforce~
ment agencies concentrated
special squads.
1t was reported that the FBI
is continuing its investigation
of Rees in connection with
other similar unsolved, crimes.
High on the list were two
double7murderS. One was the
June, 1856, slayings of Mary
Elizabeth Fellers, 18, of Belts
vile, Md. and Shelby Jean
Venable, Is, of North Laurel,
Md, whose nude bodies were
found nine days and two weeks
after their June / disappear
ance. They were last seen get
ting into a blue Ford on Mary
lands Route /.
Double Rife Staying
The other double Staying
was the rifle fire which felled
Nancy Marie Shomette. 16, and
Michael Ann Ryan, IA, high
school students as they crossed
Northwest Branch Park in
Prince Georges County, Md, on
June Is, 1855.
ReeS served in the Air Force

Bill 10 Raise
De- Sales Tax
Seen Doomed
Real Estate Levy
May Be Increased
To Garry Burden
By SAM EASTMAN
Star STAFF Writer

Chances for enactment of a
bill to raise Washington's sales
tax are slim and the District
Commissioners tax package is
dead, congressional sources re-
ported yesterday.
This apparently leaves the
city with only one move to
bring in needed revenue-an
increase in the real estate rate.
The House District Commit
tee yesterday reported Chair
man McMillan'S bill to lift the
city'S general sales tax rate
from 2 to 3 per cent. The
measure, designed as a sub
Stitute for the city's proposed
seven-point tax program, was
strongly opposed by the Com
missioners and major business
groups at a hearing Friday.
Chances Seen Slim
Although the bill is slated
to move promptly to the
House floor tomorrow, and is
expected to pass, it's chances
of enactment are rated as poor.
Opposition from some Senate
District Committee members,
coupled with the approaching
congressional adjournment, ap-
pears to doom the measure.
At the same time, however,
the action by the House Dis
trict Committee kills all hope
for enactment of the city's
proposed tax package. The
Commissioners have the
authority to adopt only one of
their seven proposed tax in
creaSeS, a 20-cent rise in the
$3.50 real estate rate. The
remaining six would require
legislation.
To meet expected revenue
needs, therefore, the city ap-
parently will have to put the
entire tax increase burden on
the real estate rate.
Congressional sources said
there is a chance, but only a
faint one, that the sales tax
measure will pass this session
if the Commissioners, pressed
for additional revenue, reverse
their position and campaign
for the 3 per cent sales levy.
Mclaughlin Disappointed
Asked to comment, Commits
Sioner Robert E. Mclaughlin
first emphasized his disap-
pointment over the House Dis
trict Committees substitution
of the sales tax bill for the
city'S tax program.
City officials, Mr.. McLaugh-
lin said, have difficulty making
firm tax position decisions be-
cause of the uncertain fate of
the city's related spending and
revenue legislation.
Mr.. Mclaughlin added that
he and Engineer Commissioner
A. C. yelling will confer on the
budget picture tomorrow. The
third commissioner, David B.
Karrick, is in Europe.
Many Issues Faced
At Fridays hearing, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said that the city
faces this revenue situation:
About $12.4 million is needed
from a Federal payment and
new revenue sources to make up
the $3.50 million required for
proposed public works projects,
plus the cost for pending city
pay raises. The Dis
trict expected to have the $4.5
balance in available To-
cal revenue.
At yesterdays executive ses-
sion of the House District Com
mittee. it was reported that
several members opposed the
sales tax bill.
Mr.. McMillan's m aSureI
would not raise the city's l per
cent sales tax on groceries.

Premier KhruShchev for wreck

The committee did not take

cision to take personal respon-
Sibility for authorizing the U-2
spy program "is unprecedented
in intelligence operations"

telligence Agency director, the
committee noted, was ready to
