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.
