Sen. Lucas Will
Work For Passage
Of Statehood Bills
CHICAGO, (jP)—Senator Lucas
(D.-Ill.) said Saturday night he
will “do everything in my power” j
to obtain passage of the Statehood
bills for Hawaii and Alaska after
the Senate convenes in November,
in a talk for a banquet of the Jap
aneses-American citizens league,
the Senate majority leader said:
“In the world crisis of today,
the United States must demon
strate a firm determination to ex
tend the frontiers of freedom and
to recognize the legitimate aspira-j
tions of people everywhere. The
thousands of fine people in Alaska
and Hawaii have worked tireless
ly to achieve their goal of state
hood. I believe that 1950 is thej
year for Congress to cooperate'
with them.”
The House already has approv
ed the bills and the Senate must
act before the 81st Congress ex-!
pires to keep th*e measures alive.
