SPOTSYLVANIA, We, Sept.
18.-The second trial OF Melvin
D. Rees, jr., began today in the
tiny courthouse of this cross
roads settlement where the 81
year-old Hyattsville (Md) mu-
sician is accused of numbering
a Louisa County (Va0 father
and daughter.
Rees, a former University of
Maryland student already serv-
ing a life sentence on a Federal
kidnapping conviction, went on
trial today in Spotsylvania Cir
cult Court on charges of Staying
Carroll v. jackson, %, of Apple
Grove, Va. He also has been in
dicted in the Staying of Mr..
Jackson's daughter, Janet, 18
months, on January II, 1859.
With Judge John D. Butzner
Ijr., presiding, the Common
wealth and ReeS' court-ap-
pointed attorneys today begin
the task of attempting to select
a jury from a panel of "a Spot
sylvania County residents. The
defense counsel, Alfred w. Gar
nett and Joseph l.. Savage. jr.,
of nearby Fredericksburg, con-
tended without success at an
earlier hearing that it would be
impossible for Rees to obtain a
| fair trial.

he did at his Baltimore trial

Although both sides refused

last Friday, it was learned that
agreement has been reached on
nearly three-quarters of the

day, both sides were expected
to argue over IL separate

involving working conditions of
Baltimore truck helpers.
Washington drivers, mem
bers of Local 639, are seeking

81 cents an hour over the next
three years, plus more liberal
vacation benefits. Baltimore
truckers, already paid five cents
an hour more than their
Washington counterparts, are
seeking 49 cents spread over
three years. Currently Wash
ington drivers get $2.45 an
hour, and helpers $2.281a.
HOffa Absent
Teamster President James
Hoffa, who sat in on negotia-
tionS last week, was absent to-
day, handling grievances in De-
troit and Chicago.
The teamster chief was eX-
pected to return in about 10
days.
The union contracts had
been extended from their Au-
gust 81 expiration date to mid
night tonight for Washington
and 6 pm. for Baltimore.
The unions eight-man ne
gotiating committee, headed by
Robert Flynn of the Eastern
Conference of Teamsters, is
authorized to call the men out
on strike. 1t appeared, how
ever, that negotiations, now on
a day-to-day basis, would con-
tinue past the headlines.

during the trial. Judge Butzner
asked the veniremen the series
of questions. He wanted to
know if any were related to
the Rees or jackson family; If
they had formed an opinion on
the defendants guilt or in
nocence; if they lived within
2 miles of the scene of
the crime or if they had
any scruples against capital
punishment.
The panel was questioned 10
at a time by the judge and
opposing counsel. Eight of the
first 10 were discharged from
service for cause. Two we're
excused because they had been
witnesses at earlier proceedings,
two farmers were released to
harvest their hay crop, two
because they said they had
visited the murder scene, one
because he said he had talked
to a witness about the case,
and one because he said, Il
think he's guilty"
Rees was convicted last Feb
ruary % in Baltimore of kid
naping Mrs. Mildred jackson,
.27, and the other daughter,
Susan Anne, 5, and of taking
them across the State line into
Maryland before Staying them.
Their bodies were found in a
shallow grave near Gambrills,
Md, on March 81, 1859
Mr.. jackson, a husky feed
truck driver, was found snot
through the head in a sawdust
pile in the woods near Fred
ericksburg on March 4, 1853.
His hands were tied in front
of him with his necktie and
his body lay atop that of Janet.
Medical authorities believe that
Janet was suffocated or died

He told an audience of 1900
university officers, faculty
members and students that "no
longer is a mans or woman's
position in the Federal service
predestined at birth regardless
of their abilities"
In All Areas
Mr.. Goldberg said the ad-
ministration will brook no dis
criminatory practices in Gov
ernment employment, employe
upgrading and promotions in
either Government service or
the fulfillment of Government
contracts. This applies "in any
area, and I mean all areas,
Mr.. Goldberg said.
He said that "the time is past
when it is tolerable for trade
unions to restrict apprentice
ship or to deny membership to
anyone because of race, re-
ligion, or color. The very ma
ture of trade unionism, its
moral origins, demands that
trade unions truly be their
brothers keeper"
Mr.. Goldberg added that
"there is only one union which
the Government will deal with,
and that is the non-discrim-
inatory union.'
Charges Timidity

to do more than they have in
rubbing out discrimination, Mr.,

Aid dTooSn1aII,
QuadrosSays

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil,
Aug. l9 (AP).-PreSident Janio
QuadroS has told Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushchev the aid Bra
zil has received from the West
hasn't been quite good enough
for this South American giants
needs or capacity.
Aid to Brazil since the end
of World War II has included
more than SO billion in loans,
private investments and grants
from the United States alone.
Mr.. QuadroS told Mr.. Khru-
shchev in a message written
about three weeks ago and re-
leased this week that he was
interested to learn that Russia
closely follows BrazilS specific
problems"
The message was written in
answer to one sent by Mr..
Khrushchev suggesting the two
countries renew diplomatic re-
lations and limiting at economic
benefits for Brazil. Since then
Mr.. KhruShchev has written
two other messages, the latest
a 14-page document on Berlin,
which has not been divulged.
Mr.. QuadroS called for in
creased commercial ties be-
tween Brazil and Russia, say
ing:
I'VE have something to offer
and much to receive.
Science, technique and re-
sources accumulated in the gil
gantic race Of the Soviet Union
toward progress can stimulate
the development of my country
in the very moment of the
Brazilian decision to break the
routines of misery, sickness and
ignorance. We have received
valid aid from other sources,
(but) not on the scale of our
necessities nor in the measure
of amplification of our capacity
of work"

Marine, Friend
Held in Thefts

An AWOL Marine and his
former service buddy were
arrested by District police on
robbery charges yesterday-all
because a third Marine was
accidentally shot during a
friendly argument Thursday.
Thirteenth precinct detectives
said the two men we're charged
with $58 robbery in Washing
ton on June 30, and are also
wanted for questioning by Vir-
ginia. authorities in the theft
of $500 worth of guns and
other merchandise from a
Woodbridge (Va0 store last
Tuesday.
Police said the men arrested
yesterday were Lance Corpl.
Brian Lynch, 20, who has been
absent without leave from the
Marine Base at Quantico, Va,
and Harold johnson, %, a
former Marine, living in the
1900 block of Calvert street
NV.
Detectives Alexander P. Fury
and Robert Jones of the thir-
teenth precinct said they re-
covered "a pistols, four shot
guns, two heavy rifles, radios,
typewriterS, a smoke bomb, and
machine gun ammunition from
Johnson's basement apartment.
The detectives said the F7BI
has entered the case because
the machine gun ammunition
is of the military type.
Police said investigation of
the trio began Thursday morn
ing when Lance Corpl. Haskell
P. Short, 10, was accidentally
shot during an argument with
Lynch. Short was recuperating
from stomach wound at Be
theSda Naval Hospital last
night, and faces a Virginia
warrant on housebreaking
charges in the Woodbridge case
when he is released.
Corpl. Donald Martin of the
thirteenth precinct investi-
gated the shooting, and queS-
toned Johnson because the
other two men were staying at
his apartment. The policeman
noticed a large number of pis-
tolls in a closet, and took the
serial numbers.
The arrests were made when
District police discovered the
serial numbers on the weapons
matched numbers on pistols
taken in the burglary of the
Western Auto Co. store in
Woodbridge on Tuesday.

Two true
cancer
miracles


Kettering's most distinguished re-
searchers, the title of which is
'Are There Host Defenses Against
Cancer?" DR.. Southam relates the
different mechanics in spontane-
Gus repression with evidence that
the body has built-in defenses,
which, when triggered by an acute
infection, drug, a hormone inn
balance or any one of many other
factors, send some substance in the
blood to destroy or immunize the
cancer cells, the way white blood
corpuscles destroy invading bac-
terra.
A ssar9Iing announcement
This, then, is a new line of
cancer research, and it has been
sparked, in part, by the once
suspected spontaneous repression
cases. Much of the work will now
proceed quietly in laboratories,
but the spontaneous repression
patients themselves will play an
increasingly important role.
Not long ago, for example, there
was a startling announcement from
two doctors in Jacksonville, Fla,
- Wilbur C. Sumner and Alvan
C. Foraker. In lo4o, they had a
patient, a 3O-year-old woman who
was riddled with melanoma, the
galloping BLACK cancer" She had
large deposits of the malignancy
in her breast, groin, abdominal
wall and back. The diagnosis of
cancer was confirmed and recon-
firmed by pathologists and the
woman was given up for dead. A
few months later, however, the
malignancies spontaneously began
to disappear. "Since l95O,'' re-
port the doctors, I'VE have not
detected any evidence of cancer
in this patient"
Three years later, a young man
afflicted with the same type of
melanoma came to see Doctors
Sumner and Foraker. He was 26
years old. Says the report, This
second patient had multiple de-
posts of melanoma in various parts
of his body. Some of these we're
removed surgically, but no attempt
was made to cure the disease sur
gically since it was too widespread.
In 1854, since no other treatment
was available, the man was given
$50 cubic centimers about a half
pint) of the first patients blood.
''Six weeks later, the second
patient noticed that the Jumps
and all other evidence of the dis
Evening star., 1961-03-26

capable of mGgnifying 1000 times to

ease we're disappearing. Three
months later, there was no evil
dence of melanoma. In areas Of
the scalp where deposits of mela-'
noma had regressed, the hair be-
came white while all the rest of
his hair remained black. About
one year later, small area of
cancer was found in one finger,
which was removed. Since then,
there has been no further sign of
the disease"
The doctors caution that they
have no evidence that the second
repression was due to the trans
fusion. However, it was an event
of such importance that the Ma
tional Cancer Institute sent for
blood samples from both patients
and carefully examined them. The
blood had no effect on melanoma
cells in test tubes or in mice. 1t
also had no effect on a third pa
tient. Unlike the first two, how
ever, the third patient had wide
spread internal deposits of cancer
which might have changed to
different type.
Hope for tomorrow
DR.. Chester Southam of the
Sloan.Kettering Institute says,
when a doctor gets a spontane-
Gus repression in one patient, it's
a lOO,OOO-to-one long shot. The
odds against his stumbling across a
second spontaneous repression
with the same form of the disease
are about 10000, 900 to one. So it
seems as if the first patients blood
did have something to do with
eliminating the malignancies of the
second. If Sumner and Foraker
now get third repression with the
same method, then | think they
are really on the way to finding
the answers we've been seeking
for years."
So remember: the odds are
almost hopeless against anyone
recovering from cancer spontane-
ously without treatment. But out
of the pitifully tiny handful OF
survivors may come real hope for

emily none the worse for the exper
fence.
How and when cattle culture
arose in Africa is not known. Old
rock carvings in northern Africa
suggest that cattle worship existed
in a remote time. Certainly many
past wars were fought over cows
and pasture.
The arrogant Nasal once believed
that all the worlds cows belonged
to them by divine right, which
doubtless accounts for the fact they
spent so much time raiding the
herds of rival tribes.
The Kipsigis in Kenya use the
same word for going to work and
to war, for the object in both cases
was to get more cattle.
Chief Form of Inheritance
Among many tribes, the COW
plays vital ritual. It is the chief
form of inherited wealth, and rigid
rules are observed. A Nandi tribes
man cannot sell or dispose of in
1eriteo cattle. AS bridewealth, COW

Nairobi Park Endangered

Nairobi Royal National Park,
one of the continents foremost
unfenced ZOOS, depends for migra-
tory range on land belonging to the
tall, proud, fiercely independent
Nasal. The warden foresees the
time when they'll bring in their
cattle and ruin the park"
Even now, the Nasal restlessly
roam Kenya's bush country, seek
ing pasture for a million head of
cattle, often spelling the grazing
for wild game. Because prestige
depends on the size of a mans
herds, the nomads value any breed
or mixture, no matter how mean or
bony.
Not many pastoral peoples kill
their cows for beef. However, they
do exist largely on the cows milk
and blood, the latter supplying their
salt needs. The jugular vein of a.
cow is punctured with a sharp
arrow, draught is taken, and mud
slapped on the wound. The cow
