House Speaker Says Initiative
 No. l Is Invalid

FAIRBANKS, R - Warren A. Taylor, Speaker of Alaska's House of Representatives, said Saturday that Initiative No. is legally in- valid. He said he believes that the legislature "need take no heed of the results" in the forthcoming election.
 The veteran Democratic poli- tician said the manner in which Anchorage forces are seeking to have Juneau vacated as the seat of state government is unconsti- tutional.
 "Section 20 of the Constitution reads that the capital of the State of Alaska shall be at Juneau and this provision is so clear that there can be no misunderstood ing of text" Taylor said.
 A little research would have indicated that constitutional amendment could not be adopted in that manner, he stated.
 Taylor asked: "Was it permit ted to go through because John Rader, resident of Anchorage, was Attorney General at that time?"
 Taylor, a Fairbanks attorney, said only laws can be changed by initiative. Alteration of the Con- stitution can be effected only by a constitutional convention, or a two-thirds vote of both houses of the legislature.
 Once the legislature has ap- proved the measure then it must be placed before the voters.
 Commenting on his feelings about the matter other than legal points, he stated "Balloting on the capital change does nothing but stir up strife and has been the means of injuring the economy of Juneau"
 Taylor, a longtime Alaskan, said that expenditure of many millions of dollars at this time to move the capital would be wasteful of taxpayers money.

THE NOME NUGGET

TECUMSEH, Ont, R - What do three youngsters who have been hidden away in house for II years think of when first re- leased?
 Who's going to be the next President of the United States . where the Milwaukee Braves stand hockey teams 2. :. and what other kids look like.
 At least that's what the three youngsters of Shirley Leach, 38, talked about when they were re- leased from an 11-year confine- ment by police.
 Their knowledge of the outside world-and curiosity about it. came largely from watching tele- vision.
 The case came to light Thurs day when one of the children, Gordon Dickerson, IS, came out of the house while his mother was at the dentists.
 The mother had kept the young sters concealed from the outside world since the housing shortages following World War II, when she feared landlords would not rent to her with six children.
 For a long time we couldn't see out" Gordon said after his release. "There were boards over the window. But one day I made a hole in one of the boards and we saw lots of things like cars. That's how I know about streets and things.

Reds Term Provocative Plans to Base US.
 Nuclear Subs In Britain

LONDON, R - Moscow radio Saturday termed "clearly provo cative' the plan to provide Brit ish bases for American nuclear submarines equipped with Polar is missiles.
 The Russian language broad cast said the United States forced Britain to assume more onerous commitments" in exchange for "the dubious promise of more de- tailed information" on reconnais- sance flights.
 Thus, new bases, being created with aims clearly provocative to- ward the Soviet Union, are to be added to the already existing Am erican bases on British territory"

Three Children Released From Home
 Where They Had Been Hidden II Years

After II years, officials said, the three appeared normal ex- cept for size. They are Gordon and his two sisters Connie, 16, and Glenda, 13. The boy stands 3 feet Il inches and the girls appear small for their ages. They are children of Mrs. Leach's first marriage, as are three other older children who never disclosed the family secret.
 The three youngsters were al lowed the run of their tWo-story frame house which they shared with IS cats.
 Police said Mrs. Leach and her husband, Donald, an interior dec orator and painter, appeared re- lieved the case was discovered. The mother told officers it began in 1949 after divorce ended her first marriage She said because it was difficult to find housing for large family she told land lord she had only three children. By 1853, when the family bought their own home, the mother said she was too embarrassed to tell her friends about the other three children.
 Child welfare officials said the youngsters hadn't had any medi- cal attention for five years. The parents have agreed to let the children be taken to a hospital.

AS for his personal wealth,
Senator Kennedy, scion of a
millionaire family, said that
Mr.. Truman's first and second
choices, Senators Symington
and Johnson, "are both men OF
means"
Senator Kennedy, looking
tanned and fit, told reporters
he expects 900 votes in early
balloting and conceded he may
nave 10 DO better than that. A
total of 761 votes is needed for
nomination.
He said he believes Mr.. Tru-
man will support him if he is
nominated, adding that the
former Presidents help would
be very important.

outburst of laughter when, in

cited the nominations of Wood

velt in 1882 and pointed out
that none of these nominations

Il cannot truthfully say that
any man is qualified for the
presidency in advance" he
said. "Uulike Republican con-
ventions, however, our conven-
tions have always been free and
open and only the best man has

He said the world and ma
tional pictures have changed
greatly within the last two
months, particularly after the
collapse of the Paris summit
conference when Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushchev "unmasked
the future in all its grim chal-
lengeS to u.s."
The choice we make in July
at the convention must take
into account much that could
not be forseen six months ago
or even six days ago." he said.
Although, his opening re-
marks did not mention any
rival candidates or refer di-
rectly to former President
Truman's charge that the Los
Angeles convention has been
rigged for Senator Kennedy,
the Senate Democratic leader
declared:
Party nominations are not

a recent attack on him by
Americans for Democratic Ac-
tion, a liberal organization.
ADA said he is too conserva-
tive, has voted. against liberal
civil rights legislation and
could not win in November.
II heartily disagree with
them" Senator johnson said,
adding that, II would not feel
very comfortable if I had their
support"
He said he never has been
a captive of any group" and
said he has a 100 per cent
voting record" only for his
country, not for any special
interests.
He claimed that Congress
during the past three years has
made more "far-reaching" ad-
vanceS on civil rights than in
the preceding 80 years.
While disavowing any inten-
tion of trying to exploit for
small partisan gains what he
called the serious and mex
cusable mistakes that have
been made" Senator johnson
nevertheless made this indirect
criticism of President Eisen-
hover:
Because the next President
of the United States, whoever
he may be, will not be a hero
President known to the world,
it is many times more i'm
portant than ever that he be
able to make our freedom Sc
