Statehood Hopes Jolted Again
By House for Alaska and Hawaii
Washington iapi The
House Tuesday night again jolt
ed the statehood hopes of Ha
waii anil Alaska.
A 2 IK-170 vote sent back to
committee a bill to admit both
territories as states.
There wa* still a possibility
that the Insular Affairs com
mittee would act on separate
measures for each territory, but
Chairman Kngle (D-Callfi said
the magnitude of the negative
vote “raises a serious question’'
whether such moves would be
successful.
Kngle told newsmen that sup
porters of the combined meas
ure received no help from the
House I democratic leadership and
met active hostility from Kepub
llcan Leader Martin of Massa
chusetts and Assistant Leader
Hu Heck of Indiana.
Little Hope Is Seen
That active opposition plus
“passive opposition" from Speak
er Itayburn (D-Texi probably
"will apply with equal force
against aeparate bills,'’ Kngle
said.
On the rollcall, lOf! Democrats
and 113 Republicans voted in ef
fect to kill the combined bill
while voting for it were 107
Democrats and 63 Republicans.
Democrats had sponsored the
measure linking the territories
together after President Eisen
hower urged statehood for Ha
waii but said the time hadn't
yet arrived to admit Alaska.
As a rule, Alaska votes Dem
ocratic and Hawaii goes Repub
lican.
Hut as it turned out in the
House, the union of opponents
to admission of one or the other
proved too much for the joint
effort.
Kngle said the margin was
greater than he had anticipated.
In the face of that, he said he
was uncertain what the next
step would be.
Neither would he predict what

institution may certify that the
veteran was enrolled In and pur

recess periods between terms,
quartets, or semesters (excluding
summer sessions) and the educa

be paid for such periods.”
