I do not see any support for this contention at the Cornell links.

Read the language in the following very carefully:

Alaska: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1404

"A person born in Alaska on or after March 30, 1867, except a noncitizen Indian, is a citizen of the United States at birth."
Hawaii: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1405
"A person born in Hawaii on or after April 30, 1900, is a citizen of the United States at birth."
Neither of those include the "subject to the jurisdiction" requirement for birthright citizenship that applies to the rest of the country:
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1401
"The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof"

“The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”

Beginning in 1924 the above language applied to ALL states INCLUDING Alaska and Hawaii, which would include Barry in 1961 IF Barry was born in HI.

Barry is not a member of the HI natives that were excluded from the 14A prior to 1900, nor is he a member of an AK Indian tribe that was excluded until 1924.

You are incorrectly reading the above Cornell language as applying to all states EXCEPT HI and AK. This is incorrect. The above Cornell language applies and applied ever since adoption of the 14A to ALL “persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” without exception in all states.

Between 1898 and 1900 HI natives were NOT subject to the jurisdiction, and between 1867 and 1924 certain AK Indians were NOT subject to the jurisdiction.
