EIX MEDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, April 21, 1933 Police Thwart Boys' Plans To Set Up Nation On Island Off California Coast Los Angeles U.R) Police to day held four teen-aged boys for questioning on their elaborate plans to seize the Navy-owned offshore island of San Miguel and "set up their own nation." The youths, missing from their homes in nearby Venice since Tuesday, were picked up by a police officer after their car stalled. In the trunk of the car, officers found a small arse nal, including two shotguns, two .22 rifles, a machine gun, two sticks of dynamite, knives and bayonets. When police told them the rocky island of San Miguel was used as a Navy target range and asked what they would have done if the Navy opened fire on them, one of the youths ans wered, "We'd shoot back." "Govenor" Wayne Young Police identified the would be nation founders as "gover nor" Wayne Young, 15, Ray mond Clark, 14, Robert Burt, 13, and Jimmy Howard, 13 all of Venice. Their method of getting to the Island was not decided but their other plans were scrupulously worked out. A long, badly spelled consti tution laid out 14 laws, which included: Texas Governor Seeks Free Vaccine Austin, Tex. (U.PJ Gov. Al lan Shivers of Texas today join ed the list of officials seeking independent means of getting more Salk vaccine into their states before the polio season starts. Shivers asked for a emergency appropriation of $250,000 so Texas can manufacutre its own anti-polio vaccine to immunize the children of the poor. The mass inoculation of first and second graders against polio is already in full swing in Texas, as it is in other states. But offi cials throughout the country ex pressed concern over how much of the vaccine' will be available by mid-summer and how they can provide protection for youngsters not covered by the mass inoculation program. "There shell (sic) be no steal ing of one's private property. "There shell be no excess kill ing of animals on this island. "All parties including women shell carry a gun. "All crimes shell be punished. The defence shell have a judge and jury. "There shell be no argueing on this island at any time. "Every person on this island shell do his or hers share of work. Pregnancy Not Tolerated "No pregnancy will be toler ated on this island, except this rule may be broken by the governor." The four youths planned to set themselves up as officers of the island with other inhabitants in a "peasant" classification. Be sides a constitution, and by laws, the youths had drawn, a crude map of Southern Califor nia with caves marked to hide supplies before their invasion. Police said they were investi gating where the boys had found their arsenal of guns. Dead line Sunday Classified is at noon Saturday; 1 a. m.
