JUNEAU, <jn — The State Sen

The five measures would:

the Administrative Director of the
Alaska Court System be located
at the same place as the head
quarters of the State Supreme
Court.
Provide legal framework
through which children born out
of wedlock could be ruled legi
timate.
Change the date for figuring
assessment work on state mining
claims from July 1 to September 1.
Prohibit unjust discrimination
in employment because of age.
The latter measure was passed
by the House last session and
now goes to the Governor for his
signature. The other bills go to
the House for action there.

Western States Astir With
Presidential Hopefuls
In Popularity Scramble
(By The Associated PressI
Several possible Democratic
candidates for President worked
at wooing the West over the
weekend. Their common rival.
Vice President Nixon, was not
far away.
As the Democrats held their
Western Conference in Albuquer
que, N. M., Nixon flew to Los
Angeles Friday night by jet air
liner. He immediately defended
himself against Democratic cri
ticism.
The criticism centered on Nix
on’s recent tie-breaking vote
against a Senate motion to broad
en federal aid to school buildings
and teacher salaries.
In Albuquerque, the Western
Democratic Conference listened
to Sen. Lyndon Johnson Friday
night and an address by Sen. Hu
bert Humphrey Saturday night.
Sen. John Kennedy, flying about
the country in his scramble for
convention votes, addressed a
rally in the afternoon.
Johnson, named by Kennedy as
his most serious rival, said he
would not seek the nomination.
But he did not rule out accepting
a draft.
Another apparent but un
announced candidate, Sen. Stuart
Symington (D-Mo>, drew cheers
from 1,000 farm-belt Democrats
in Wichita, Kans., Friday night as
he blasted farm policy.

Titan Explodes in Midair
Seconds After Launching
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., UFi —
The Titan program again is in
trouble after the explosion of
one of the big intercontinental
range missiles.
The 98-foot rocket blew apart
57 seconds after launching Fri
day. The explosion, several thous
and feet in the air, resembled a
nuclear blast.
Informed sources reported the
second stage apparently separated
prematurely, sending the missile
o«t of control.
The Martin-made Titan is being
developed as America’s biggest
military rocket, with a range of
up to 9,000 miles.
The failure followed the suc
cessful firing of another Titan
last Tuesday. That shot, in
which second-stage ignition was
achieved for the first time,* was
the first success for the Titan in
nine months.
