Abstract
It was said of the mathematician, Jacques Hadamard, that he never read the proofs for other peoples theorems; if he was unable to furnish a proof himself, then he went through life never knowing one. In the case of the present paper, some but not all of the proofs of the theorems were available when the paper was written (November,1965). As a consequence, the author had to construct proofs of his own. In the best of mathematical tradition, he isolated the essential algebraic properties of binary sequences needed and so proceeded to give elegant and elementary proofs for these valuable theorems.
