Engineers Ask
Autonomy
Would Split Boord
From Department

The District Council of En-
gineering and Architectural
Societies last night moved for
the separation of the Board of
Registration for Professional
Engineers from the Department
Of Occupations and Corrections.
In a strongly worded resolu-
ton, the council charged the
boards affiliation with the
District government depart
ment was a hindrance to its
efficiency.
The resolution, which was
introduced by Henry H. Shell
ing of the councils Committee
on Engineer Registration, was
hotly debated for nearly two
hours. Many of the members
wanted the wording of the
resolution made even stronger.
The council feels the Board
of Registration should be an
autonomous body to function
properly. The resolution also
censures the Department of
Occupations and Professions
for the unpleasant working
conditions recently created by
it, and said the department
looked upon the board "as a
vassal rather than a partici-
pating member of the depart
ment."
The council worked for the
establishment of the board for
many years. Then, after Con-
gresS finally created it. Dis
trict government heads placed
it under the Department of
Occupations and Professions in
reorganization of District
agencies.
The engineers board this
week protested conditions
which it said led to the resig-
nation of its secretary, Mrs.
Lacey w. Coad.
The case of Mrs. Coad was
one of those which led the Dis
trict Commissioners to ask the
District Management Office to
investigate administration of
the Department of Occupations
and Professions.
The Commissioners SAID ear
lier this week they have re-
ceived complaints as a result
of friction between officials of
the department and some of
the professional boards under
its jurisdiction.

Rees Judge
Delays Ruling
On Evidence
Sets Arguments
Sept. ID; Search
Is Questioned

SPoTSYLVANIA. Va, Sept.
2 (AP).-Judge John D. Butz-
ner postponed a decision yes
terday on the admissibility of
two key pieces of evidence in
the scheduled murder trial of
Melvin Davis Rees, jr., until
after he hears arguments from
opposing attorneys September
IA.
ReeS, a 32-year-old timer
ant musician from HyattSville,
Md, goes on trial here Sep
tember Is for the murder of
Carroll v. jackson, jr., of
Louisa County.
Defense attorneys sought in
a four and one-half hour hear
ing yesterday to exclude evi-
dence considered crucial by the
prosecutions .38-caliber re-
volver which the FBI says
matches a gun handle grip
found near Mr.. Jackson's body
and a handwritten account re-
portedly describing the last
hours Of the Jackson family.
Rees is also charged in Vir-
ginia with the murder Of the
JackSon'S 18-month-old daugh-
ter Janet. Earlier this year
in Baltimore Federal District
Court, Rees drew a double life
sentence for the kidnap-slay-
ing of Mrs. jackson and an
other daughter, Susan, 5.
Illegal Seizure Charged
Defense lawyers contended
that the evidence was illegally
seized and so should be barred,
an argument which now finds
support from a June 19 United
States Supreme Court ruling
on the admissibility of evi-
dence.
The prosecution countered
that while the evidence was OBJ
tanned without a search war
rant, FBI agents did have the
written permission of Rees'
parents to search their home
in Hyattsville.
Yesterdays hearing was also
marked by the first witness
stand appearance of Rees since
his arrest in June, 1860. He did
testify in chambers during his
trial last winter in Baltimore.
Speaking in a clear, soft
voice, Rees admitted ownership
of the accordion case in which
the gun and note were found.
He was on the stand for IL
minutes.
Rees said he left the case at
his parents home as excess
baggage" during a band trip
to New York. He told the court
that he bought the accordion
and case in 1857 or 1858 for
Christmas Caroling" and that
when the accordion wore out
he used the case to store per-
sonal items.
FBI Agents Testify
Seven FBI agents also took
the stand yesterday and dis
closed that they searched Rees
home for evidence involving
five murder cases, of which the
Jackson case was just one.
Agent Francis x. jain testi-
fled the defendants father
signed a statement on June
"a. 1860, giving agents permis-
sion to search the house and
take any property found inside.
Young Rees was in West
Memphis, Ark, at that time,
but was arrested later the same
day.
Rees' father, the first defense
witness, admitted he had
signed the paper giving his
consent to search the house
after FBI agents had asserted
that.a search warrant could be
obtained if necessary.
He said that his son last
visited their home in late March
or early April, 1860.
