Girl, 13, Kept in Room for
Six Years; Parents Arrested
Santa Cruz, Calif. (WD -The
parents of a 13-year-old
girl were Jailed Thursday for
holding her a virtual prisoner
in her bedroom for six years
permitting her to leave only
to attend school.
Police said they stumbled
on the story after the father,
Elmer J. Kenslnger of Santa
Cruz, reported that the girl,
Elaine, had run away from
home.
; When the girl was found at
the home of a friend, she told
police she had been locked in
her 10-by 12-foot room upon
returning from school for the
"past six or seven years."
Bath Said Refused
. The teen-ager said her meals
were brought to her room, she
was not permitted to take a
bath, and she had to use a
coffee can for sanitary pur
poses. Police Investigators went to
the Kenslnger home and
found that the doors and win
dows to Elaine's squalid room
were nailed shut. The room
contained only an iron bed'
stead, mattress, quilt and cof
fee can.
Policewoman Sua Curtis
said another daughter, Mary,
4, was locked up with Elaine
during the nights. She said
two sons, Frank, 15, and Rob
ert, 8, had been "abused" -but
they were allowed to play
outside the house.
"Never have I seen a more
abominable, degrading and
disgusting way of life for any
person to be subjected to,"
the policewoman said in her
report.
Kenslnger, a coin machine
dealer, and his wife, Ruby,
were Jailed on charges of child
neglect and contributing to
the delinquency of a minor.
The gaunt, graying mother
refused to discuss her daugh-
ter's incarceration in the po
lice booking room. Kenslnger
snapped that the girl had been
locked in her room as "pun-
lshment" for "using vile
words."
When asked why she was

forbidden access to the bath
room, the father said, "I don't
know."
Del Mar Miller, principal of
the school where Elaine at
tends the eighth grade, said
the girl's intelligence tests
show her to be a "near gen
ius," but her grades always
have been "c" or "d".
One of Elaine's teachers
stopped by Juvenile hall
Thursday to bring the girl a
toothbrush. The teen-ager had
no Idea how to use it.

Investigation of Lobbyists
Recalled by Senate Committee
Labor Asked To
Tell Expenditures
On Compensation
Salem (UPD - A Senate
committee tugged an investi
gation of lobbying back Into
its own jurisdiction today with
a challenge to labor spokes
men to reveal how much they
have spent in an effort to de
feat three-way workmen's
compensation.
The callenge came after
Keith Skelton, chief backer
of the bill, admitted to the
State and Federal Affairs
Committee he received a $22,.
BOO over a two year period
to draft and fight for the meas
ure. He said this was part of
an overall $40,000 budget to
back the three-way bill.
Disclosed by Fadeley
The budget was first dis
closed at a house hearing this
week by Rep. Edward Fadel
ey (D-Eugene), sponsor of a
bill to require lobbyists to
register and report their ex
penses.
Fadeley said some lobby
ists were spending "tens of
thousands of dollars, but
stressed he was not in any
way accusing lobbyists of
spending the money improperly.
The committe asked Skel
ton to comment on the budget
disclosure. The Associated
Oregon Industries lobbyist
described his work and ex
penditures since he was re
tained in 19S0 to work on the
bill.
Should Follow Up
Sen. Walter Pearson said he
felt labor representatives
should follow up with a dis
closure of their own expen-
s.
James Marr, Oregon AFL-
CIO, said the only expenses
he knew of were slightly more
than $1,000 for mailing, but
he added this did not include
efforts of persons already on
the state AFL-CIO payroll or
contributions by individual
unions.
He said several attorneys
opposing the bill had donated
their time.

Hoffa Expected To
Move for Election
Washington - (UPD - Team
sters' President James R. Hof
fa was expected to set in mo
tion today election machinery
that would virtually assure
his control of the nation's
largest union until mid-1966.
Hoffa was reported ready
to issue a call for a Teamsters'
convention in Miami Beach,
Fla., in early July that would
choose officers for the next
five years. He is considered a
shoo-in for the $50,000-a-year
presidency.
Depressed Areas '
Amendments Seen
Washington - (UPD - A $394
million depressed areas bill
today faced a barrage of pro
posed amendments aimed

restrictions.
The Senate opened debate
Thursday on the measure in
troduced by Sen. Paul H.
Douglas (D-I1I.), who said It

Twenty children escaped in
jury Thursday when a school
bus collided with a car and
slid down an embankment
north of here. The bus driver,
H. C. Hayden, and two occu

listed in critical condition.
An estimated 2,100 conven
tion delegates from the un
ion's 900 locals will be se
lected under court-imposed
regulations designed to assure
a free and democratic choice.
But the Teamsters' chief,
who is under federal indict
ment on charges of mail fraud
involving alleged misuse of
union funds, faces no opposi
tion at this time in his re
election bid.
Every one of the union's
1.7 million members, except
those who have fallen behind
in dues payments, will be en
titled to vote In local elections
of delegates, the court ruled.
Hoffa has sent a seven-page
letter of instructions to local
officers describing each step
in the election timetable.
The regulations call for 20
day advance notice to all
Teamsters of meetings to nom
inate and elect delegates.
Elections must be conducted
30 days after nominations but
not later than May 21.

"She has made a very rare

night Eugene Marsh, a mem
ber of the Advisory Commit
tee on Planning and Develop
ment, spoke for the two bills
to allow the state to complete
the transaction. He said the
"potential overshadows the
risk."
Believed Best Deal
Marsh said HB1601 would
take care of any legal bar
riers in leasing the 100,000-
acre tract. He said he be
lieved the state had "the best
deal we can get."
Sen. Alfred Corbett (D

islature should "go slowly

involved had not yet been ap
praised and that it was not
possible to tell whether the

Orville Cutsforth, a Mor

rancher, said he was not as

the proposed 80-year lease
