Policy Committee
Holds Fate Of
Consideration Of
Statehood Bills
^Continued from Page One’
the anti-subversives bill not be
fore the Senate, saying he wanted
the policy committee first to lay
down a specific agenda for the re
mainder of the session, expected
to end next week.
If a vote on the anti-subversives
bill is put off until Monday or
later, any chance for passage of
the statehood bills would fade.
Senators are anxious to avoid a
drawn-out debate that would de
lay their return home.
Senate Democratic leaders havej
been hinting that the statehood
measures might be called up
promptly if the anti-subversives j
bill were acted on either yester-j
day or today, as had been expect
ed earlier.
The Alaskan and Hawaiian |
Delegates to Congress reported af
ter a call on President Truman
Wednesday that he told them he
would “use every influence” to j
get a Senate vote on statehood be- j
fore adjournment.
Chairman O’Mahoney fD.-Wyo.
of the Senate interior and insular
affairs committee which has ap
proved both statehood bills, said i
he would urge the policy commit
i
tee to clear the way for action on
them.
One possibility under discus
sion is bringing the bills" up but
postpone a vote until after Con-1
gress returns—which many mem
bers believe will be shortly after
the November elections.
Should action be delayed until
after the new Congress meets next
January, the bills would have to
start all over again.
Southern opposition to the state
hood bills is understood to stem'
in part from the southerners’ be-,
lief that Senators from Alaska
and Hawaii would support civil,
rights measures.
So far the Dixie forces have
been successful in blocking pass
age of President Truman’s civil
rights program.
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Senate
majority leader Scott Lucas <D.
111.) said last night he believed it
would take three weeks before (
the Senate would get around to
voting on bills to admit Alaska1
and Hawaii to statehood.
He said the delay was being
caused by southern Senators who
were afraid that if they admitted
two more states “their power
would be diminished.”
He also believes the serious in
ternational situation may keep
President Truman from campaign
ing for fellow-Democrats this fall.
“I doubt seriously if the Presi
dent will have time if the situa
tion remains as serious as it is to
day,” Lucas said on the Mutual
Bi oadcasting system’s program
“Reporters Roundup.”
