ACTION ON
STATEHOOD
UNCERTAIN
(Continued from Page 1)
proved both statehood bills, said
he would urge the policy committee
to clear the way for action on j
them.
One possibility under discussion
is bringing the bills up but post
pone a vote until after Congress j
returns—which many members be
lieve will be shortly after the No
vember elections.
Should action be delayed until j
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' belief
that senators from Alaska and Ha
waii would support civil rights
measures.
So far the Dixie forces have been
successful in blocking passage of
President Truman’s civil rights pro
gram.
BILLS PUT ON LIST
WASHINGTON. Sept. 7—OP)—1The
Senate Democratic policy committee
put Hawaiian and Alaskan state
hood bills at the end of its must
legislative list today. But talk of
a possible filibuster leaves it doubt- i
ful whether a vote can be reached
on them.
Senator Lucas of Illinois, the
Democratic leader, told reporters
after a policy committee meeting
that the Senate legislative program
stacks up like this:
1. Finish up—probably early next
week—with the pending anti-sub
versive legislation.
2. Call the calendar of routine
bills.
3. Act on six minor bills against
which some senators have raised
objections.
Once this is out of the way,
Lucas said he will call up House ,
approved statehood bills for Ha
waii and Alaska. President Tru
man has urged their approval but
there is both Republican and Dem
ocratic opposition to their passage
at this time.
Lucas told reporters there had
been no open threats of a filibuster
against motions to take up the bills,
but that he had been informed
there might be “lengthy” oppos
ition to them. He said, however,
he hopes to get action on them by
September 16, target date for a
congressional vacation.
BLOCMNGTRAFFIC
IS COSTLY FOR
THREE MOTORISTS
Car-to-car conversation on a
public thoroughfare can be expen
sive and chain-driving is not cheap,
either, three drivers have just
learned via the U. S. Commissioner’s
Court.
Three fines totaling $150 resulted
from a pile-up of three vehicles
Labor Day on the Douglas bridge.
According to Highway Patrol Sgt.
John Monagle, who signed the
complaints, the accident happened
like this:
Wilbur Irving, proprietor of
Whing Ding’s night spot on the
Douglas Highway, was driving to
ward Juneau in his big blue truck.
He saw William Roy Tonsgard
approaching in his truck with a
load of wood for him, hailed Tons
gard and stopped to tell him where
to unload it.
Tonsgard also stopped, thus mak
ing it impossible foe other traffic
to go through
Mr. and Mrs. Stephen J. Ford,
back of Irving in their brand new
Plymouth station wagon, came to
an abrupt stop “within a reason
able distance” behind the Whing
Ding truck.
Driving with her baby besidp her,
Mrs. William (Mary Lucille> Weir
was following, but "didn’t stop,' i
driving smack into the rear of the j
station wagon which, in turn, ram
med the truck ahead.
Monagle said he was unable to
es* imate the damage to the front
of the Weirs' Buick, but said dam
age amounted to about $450 to the
Fords’ station wagon.
Irving’s previously injured knee
was knocked against the instru
ment panel, further injuring it, he
said.
Irving notified the court that he
was unable to appear the following
day, and he came in late yesterday
afternoon. He pleaded guilty to a
charge of obstructing traffic and
was fined $75 by Judge Felix Gray.
The day before, Tonsgard had
pleaded guilty to parking a motor
vehicle on the Douglas bridge and
was fined $50 for obstructing traffic.
Mrs. Weir pleaded guilty to the i
reckless driving charge and was
fined $25.
Assistant U. S. Attorney Stanley
Baskin prosecuted the cases for the
Government.

Walks In With Grin
Mr. Truman walked into the crowd
ed room with a broad grin on his
face. He kept that grin until he
started speaking:
He expressed hope the Marine
League—an organization of former
Marines—would support him in his
efforts to "get peace in the world.”
The ex-Marines applauded vigorous
ly
Visit Prepared
There was no show in the conven
tion hall of the bitterness engender
ed by Mr. Truman’s original cracks
about the Marines.
The Commandant of the League.
Clay Nixon, had prepared the way
for the President’s visit with a lit
tle speech.
Nixon told his comrades the “mat- ,
ters discussed yesterday are at an
end.”
He said the President was coming
to the meeting and told them, "we
will expect you to demean yourselves
as Marines and Americans.”
A bugler sounded attention as the
President walked grinningly up to
the speaker’s platform. He was ap
plauded again when he was intro
duced to the meeting by Gen. Clif
ton Cates, Commandant of the Mar
ine Corps.
Cates said, “we are gratified to
have the President of the United
States with us.” Then he added:
"We in the Marine Corps admire
courage, especially personal cour
age.”

You're sod—because you’d like to have a nice new General
Electric Refrigerator right this very day, but you can’t get one!
We'ro cad—because it’s our business to provide people with
General Electric Refrigerators, but we just don’t have enough
to go around.
And it’s nobody’s fault in particular. The General Electric
people have a refrigerator factory as big as all outdoors (or
nearly). It’s equipped with the last word in production ma
chinery. And it’s turning out refrigerators at an amazing rate.
But so many people want a G-E—and won't take any other
make—that there are still more people waiting in line th»n
1 her* axe refrigerator? coming ofl t he line.
It’ll p*y you, though, to wait loi your General Electric. Re
member—a refrigerator is something you buy for the years
ahead. And no refrigerator will uerve you better through thos*
year* than a famous, dependable General Electric.
