Asked if she believed that one of the bodies discovered in Chatsworth was that of her husband, Mother Ruth said: "No. Don't use the word dead. He is the Christ and "We don't believe in death. His body won't be found." Mother Ruth claimed that Venta had no age "since he has been with us since the beginning." Leaving for California The religious cult headed by Venta has a 35-member colony headquartered here with the main settlement lo cated at the head of the Kat chemak Bay, 25 miles north of this south Kenai Peninsula community. Mother Ruth said she would leave here today for Los An geles. Another woman in the colony will care for her six children while she is gone. Mother Ruth has three daughters, Nikki, 16, Leila Ruth, 7, and Rey-El, 10, and three boys, Sharva, 11, Val Dorm, 13, and Lael, 9. The Alaska branch of the sect is known locally as the "barefoot people" because they brave the sub-zero cold and snow without shoes when ever they are out in public. However, when they are in remote areas away from the public gaze they wear stand ard Alaskan footwear. Law Abiding Group Territorial police said they were surprised at the bomb ing of the California colony, adding that the sect had never caused us any trouble up here. They have always been law abiding." Members of tne cult are noted here for being the first to appear on the scene of a fire where they aid in ex tinguishing the flames. They do their fire fighting bare footed. Members participate i n every civic activity, and their children attend the local schools where they are noted for their cleanliness. Mother Ruth said she and the other two surviving mem bers of the sect's Board of Directors would meet in Los Angeles in a few days to pick a new spiritual leader to re place Krishna. , . W.

President Decries Alabama Failure To Supply Records (Continued from Page 1) Other news conference highlights: -The President decried as reprehensible the failure of Alabama officials to supply requested public records on Negro voting registration to the Civil Rights commission. , -He said that until the Ber lin situation is composed by all interested powers, the United States will stand firm behind its responsibility and duty to remain in West Ber lin as a means of maintaining the freedom of the West Ger mans. Challenges Statement -He bluntly challenged the truth of a statement by for mer President Truman that he, Eisenhower, stood idly by in 1952 while Sen. William E. Jenner (R.-Ind.) denounced Gen. George C. Marshall, World War II Army chief of staff, as a traitor. -The President said recent spending proposals by the Democratic Advisory council would, of necessity, lead to many new taxes.

Discusses Soviet Missile The President was ques tioned about reports, follow ing his conference with Hum phrey, that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev told the senator that Russia possessed ballistic missiles with a range of 8,700 miles. The President was -iked specifically whether H u m phrey gave him this report and how it stacked up against the recent 6,300-mile firing of an American Atlas missile. Eisenhower said that in the first place, he would not go into details of his conversa tion with Humphrey because it was personal and confiden tial. Fine technique As for an 8,700-mile missile, he said casually that he saw no reason why this could not be done because, after all, the Russians had a fine technique. He said that this country knew about their missile tests and their having exploded atomic weapons over the range of one megaton, the equivalent of one million tons of TNT. . But, concerning the report recently in Aviation Week magazine that Russia had test flown a nuclear powered plane, the President said with considerably more feeling that there was absolutely no reha ble evidence of any kind that the Soviets had flown such plane.
