go of 10 sled dogs, was enroute

Statehood Kills
Will Be Called Up
Before Saturday
(Continued from Page One)
decide to recess ... it might be
be a very proper thing to make
the Hawaiian and Alaskan state-1
hood bills the unfinished business
and then, when we return at the
end of the recess, pass the bills.”
Senator Wherry (R.-Neb.), the|
Senate Republican leader said j
some Republican Senators do not'
want Congress to adjourn and;
want the Statehood bills consid- j
ered. He declared “There is noj
use” trying to finish Senate busi- j
ness by Saturday.
O’Mahoney said Congress should
l
not even consider adjourning, a
move which probably would kill
the bills.
Senator Magnuson, agreeing
with O’Mahoney, argued the time
has come for action. Magnuson
said the bills will be called up.
Demanding a “yes or no” answer
on the issue, Magnuson said that
if the reply of the leaders is “no”
than O’Mahoney would be justi
fied in moving to call up both
measures.
“If it is necessary for me to
! make the motion, then I will make
• j
it,” O’Mahoney commented.
Senator Wherry, emphasizing
, that “I’m not saying we should or
| shouldn’t” bring up the statehood j
! issue now, urged a swift decision.
Magnuson said he would be
i willing to consider a compromise
i which would bring a Congression- j
j al recess Saturday, with the Sen-;
i ate to return after the elections
I and consider statehood among (
other issues.
Senator Morse (R.-Ore.), an
Alaskan statehood backer, told the
| Senate.
“Our lack of adequate defenses
j in Alaska and the consequent
threat to security would never
have come to pass” if Alaska was
a full fledged state, represented in
both the Senate and House.
And, if another development,
Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said
several telephone calls opposing
Alaskan statehood were made yes
terday from Seattle by persons
as being connected with Alaskan
fishing interests.
He said he had been - told the
calls were made to Seantors ask
ing them to vote against the State
hood bill.
Bartlett told reporters that thej
phone calls “seem to be a last des- j
perate effort to block statehood
for the Territory. I think that it j
will help the cause of statehood
because it again brings out that
the salmon fishing industry is ao
| ing everything in its power to
j block statehood.”
Bartlett declined to identify the
! Senators who received the calls
from Seattle.
