Damage Trail
In Northeast
BY the Associated Press

Tornado winds pushed out
over the Atlantic Ocean today,
leaving behind scattered trails
of damage in the Northeast
States.
The Weather Bureau said
masses of colder air moving in
from the Central States and
Canada displaced the roaring
twisters and ended widespread
tornado alarms.
Destructive tunnels of wind
hit and skipped in Pennsyl-
vania, New York and Vermont
last night. Alerts went UP
in New Jersey, Connecticut
and Massachusetts,. But the
Weather Bureau said that ex-
cept for some possible minor
fringe turbulence. the danger
was past.
The winds ripped roofs,
smashed buildings and snarled
power lines. Despite the dam
age. no deaths were reported.
Apparently hardest hit was
the industrial area of Schenec-
tady, N. Y. Unofficial reports
said the damage might run to
at least 50 million.
An emergency was declared
in the Schenectady suburbs of

NeighbOrs Still Surprised
Neighbors of Rees's parents
on Madison street were still
surprised this morning at the
news Of ReeS's arrest. The elder
Mr.. Rees, a repairman of the
Chesapeake g. Potomac Co.. re-
fused last night and today to
talk with reporters. The Reeses
have lived there II years.
Harry Kaufman. Of 1912
Madison street, Hyattsville,
two houses away from the Rees
residence, said young Rees
used to stay by himself and
all he was interested in was
playing his horn
I'D know Davis (the name
by which Rees was generally
known if he walked by, but
I never really spoke with him."
Mr.. Kaufman said that he
was a good friend of the ReeseS
and sometimes took care of Mr..
Rees's backyard greenhouse
when he was away. Mr.. Rees is
known throughout Madison
street as an ardent gardener.
He is respected and many of
his neighbors are grateful for
his gifts of plants.
The 5000 block of Madison
street is a quiet, 20-year-old
middle class suburban street of
brick and frame houses.
Another neighboF, resident
of the block for % years. said
that the most trouble young
Rees ever got into as far as she
knew up to yesterday was that
he occasionally played hooky
from high school.
His mother was upset." she
said. because he didn't finish
high school before he went into
the service.
But when he got out of the
Air Force he finished school
and entered the University of
Maryland"
Rees' music playing ap-
parently led to his divorce. the
neighbor said. THE trouble was
he was a musician and his wife
didn't like him working at
nights irregularly," she said.
She wanted him TO do some
thing else. Finally. she just took
their little boy back to her
home in Baltimore.
