party camped in the tribal Of

after taking over in a bloodless
coup.
The determined band o1
about 80 braves and squaws

down would dramatize Their
complaints over the way tribal
funds are being spent.
The of1ce's regular personnel
tipped in advance, decampeo

planned to wait the Indians out
today.

walk in. Our boys walked out

They have no authority and
can't do anything" Mr.. zollar

thing. We don't want to start
any unnecessary rumpus about
it,"

He said members Of the In

"True Utes," to distinguish
themselves from Indians of
other tribes and of mixed blood.
They claim they're not get

funds, Mr.. Collar said. "They
object to the way the tribal
council spends some of the
money-travel programs to de-
velop resources, recreation and
all that" He added that the
uprising is directed against
the regular tribal council; just
members of their own tribe.
Previously, he said, officials
have been able to settle
things in a couple of hours of
talk. This time talk didn't

Rees Indicted
In Jackson
Fami|yki||ings
Death of Mother
And Child Laid
To Musician

A Federal grand jury in Bal
timore today indicted Melvin
D. Rees, jr. 81, for the kid
naping which led to the mur-
der of Mrs. Mildred jackson
and her daughter Susan Ann
of Apple Grove, Va.
Rees also stands accused of
murder in the deaths of Mrs.
Jackson's husband Carroll and
the couples other daughter
Janet.
The grand jury acted several
hours after United States At
torney Leon H. Pierson re-
quested the indictment. There
were only two witnesses. Spe-
cial Agent Robert j. Lally of
the FBI testified for two hours
this morning before the panel
but refused to discuss evidence
he gave.
Chief Wade Testified
The FBI man was followed
into the secret session Of the
grand jury by Wilbur Wade,
Anne Arundel County police
chief. Chief Wade, whose testi-
mony took only a short while.
said he testified as to where the
bodies Of the 28-year-old mother
and her 5-year -old daughter
were found and their condition.
The indictment will enable
the Government to brng Rees to
Baltimore for prosecution. It
was explained that the indict-
ment for a Federal offense
eliminates the need for a de-
tailed extradition hearing in
Tennessee.
1t was indicated Rees might
be returned to Maryland to face
the indictment before the end
of the week.

DEATH DIARY
Mrs. Jackson
H a n d,
Note Says

A one-page account Of the
Jackson family kidnapping, al
legedly handwritten by Melvin
Davis Rees, jr., contains grue-
some details of how three OF
the four victims met their
death, it was learned in Bal
timore today.
The document, with a news
paper photograph of Mrs. Car
roll v. jackson and her 5-year-
old daughter, Susan. attached,
was found by investigators In
the home of Rees' parents at
1908 Madison street, Hyatts-
vile, Md
It was turned over to Federal
prosecutors who are seeking
kidnapping indictments against
Rees today in Baltimore.
Sources there said the un-
signed document was written
in ink on unlined white paper.
The Baltimore sources said
the account began like this:
Caught on lonely road
after pulling them over leveled
pistol and ordered them out &
into car trunk was open for
husband and both bound. "
(Punctuation was missing from
the last sentence.)
Drove to select area &
killed husband & baby. Now
the mother and daughter were
all mine" (Words underlined
in document.)
Beneath this was the news
paper photograph. Something
which appeared to be a gag
had been drawn across Mrs
Jackson's mouth.
There followed a detailed de-
scription in obscene terms OF
an act of sexual perversion
apparently performed on Mrs
Jackson. The account ended
like this:
". then tied & gagged. led
to her place Of execution &
hung her"
The sketchy account made
no mention of what happened
to Susan.

Belief was growing at the
Capitol today that Congress;
will have to come back after
the July political conventions
in order to finish bills that have
strong appeal in this election
year.
Leaders have not given up all
hope of final adjournment be-
fore the first convention, the
Democrats which opens in Los
Angeles July IL.
There were strong indica-
tions today, however, that un-
less they have made consider
able progress by the end CT
this week on three politically
potent issues, they may recess
before July 4 until some time
in August.
These issues are medical care
for the aged, an increase in the
minimum wage law, and Fed
eral aid to school construction
IL Favor Return
Talk of a post-convention
session increased after Senate
Democratic Leader johnson
revealed that an incomplete
check of Senators in both par
ties reveals II who believe
Congress should come back
after the conventions If ii
does not finish its program
now. and eight others who
think any bills not passed be-
fore the conventions should be
put aside until next year.
Two Democrats - Senators
Gore of Tennessee and Clark
of Pennsylvania - declared in
the Senate last night they be-
lieve Congress should return
after the conventions and dc
what has to be done.
Senator Gore said that il
Congress had nothing left to
do but the medical care bill
he doubts if adequate atten-
ton could be given to it this
week.
The Tennessean, who intro
duced a new medical care plan
of his own yesterday, said ne
has recommended to Majority
Leader johnson that Congress
recess at the end of this week
until a specified date after the
two conventions, presumably
early in August.
Clark in No Hurry
Senator Clark joined in to
say it would be "unwise fol-
Congress to run out of Wash
ington in a hurry, not having
taken care of the national in
terests."
If at least Is other Senators
feel the same way, it is doubt
full if all the remaining busi-
ness could be transacted be-
tween now and Saturday, July
8. If adjournment July 9 seems
doubtful by this Saturday, il
is not likely the leaders will
stay in session next week while
facing the prospect of return

in the title as well as the first
and second sentences Of the
new United States proposal
1t was the first formal ac-
ceptance of the disarmament
phrase which Moscow's huge
propaganda machine had beer
trumpeting daily since last
September.
The new American proposal
was also notable for other at
tempts to accommodate the
Western plan to certain Soviet
positions.
Conspicuous among these
was the advance in priority ac-
corded control of nuclear de-
livery systems, as the Soviet
Union and France had de-
manded.
Like 1857 Maneuver
There was also more flexi-
bility in the matter of tech
nical studies, and a speedup in
the conventional disarmament
field, with provision for q
quicker reduction in military
manpower down to IL million
men for the United States and
the Soviet Union.
The effect calculated for all
these American moves would
have exposed the Soviet Union
for being unable to accept its
own disarmament proposals.
But before these new conces-
sions could be approved by
Britain, France, Canada and
Italy, Ambassador Zorin broke
up the conference.
