Washington: —(U,P)— Senate GOP leaders promised today to fight for Alaskan and Hawaiian statehood but said chances were dimmed by a successful Democratic move lumping both territories into the same bill.
GOP to Fight For 2 States
Senate Republican leader William F. Knowland said there is "less chance" now that either territory will be admitted to the Union at this session. But he said he would "fight hard" to get the package bill through.
Similar statements were made by Sen. Hugh Butler (R-Neb.), chairman of the Interior committee, and Sen. Guy Cordon (R-Ore.), who has handled Republican strategy in the statehood fight.
The 46 to 43 Senate vote yesterday merging the Alaskan and Hawaiian measures put the administration on the spot. It backs statehood for predominately-Republican Hawaii but is lukewarm to bringing Alaska, a Democratic territory, into the Union.
The administration must now decide whether it wants Hawaiian statehood badly enough to try to push the package bill through the Senate and the reluctant house which passed the Hawaiian bill last year. House leaders have made it clear they have no intention of bringing up an Alaskan measure.
