Statehood Bills
Will be Pressed
WASHINGTON, July 24, -——
Senator O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.) said
today he will press for a vote at
this session of Congress on the ad
mission of Alaska and Hawaii to
statehood.
He predicted the senate will ap
prove their admission.
O'Mahoney spoke after statehood
bills- for both Territories were
blocked on a routine rollcall. On
these rollcalls a single objection is
enough to prevent passage of the
bill.
O’Mahoney said Congress’ fail
ure to grant statehood is “a blot
on the reputation of the govern
ment of the U. S.”
He and Senator Knowland (R
Calif.i, who likewise decried the
Senate’s. failure to act today, con
tended that among other things ad
mitting Alaska to statehood would
silence Communist propaganda that
Alaska—once a Russian possession
—may yet be returned to Russian
control.
