House Voles for j
Alaska Slate
Washington, March 4 W)
Alaska's bid for statehood, ap
proved in the house and endor
sed by President Truman, head
ed today for an uncertain fate
in the senate.
The house passed a statehood
bill yesterday, 188 to 146, af
ter a bitter fight. There were
signs of even stronger senate
opposition.
Senator Butler (R-, Neb.),
predicted last year that neither
Alaska nor Hawaii would reach
their statehood goals at this ses
sion of congress. The house is
scheduled to take up the Ha
waiian measure next week.
House members from the
more populous states attacked
Alaska's qualifications for state
hood in yesterday's debate on
grounds that its population is
too small. They pointed out that
Alaska, with about 100,000
population, would have the same
representation in the senate as
New York or California, with
populations exceeding 10,000,
000. Hawaii's Delegate Farrington,
a republican, retorted that the
system of equal representation
in the senate was decided upon
by the founding fathers of the
nation. He said Hawaii and Alas
ka should not be penalized for
it.
After passage of the Alaska
bill, Farrington opened debate
on the Hawaii measure.
He said congresional commit
tees for years have concluded
that the Hawaiian islands meet
the qualifications for statehood

parking almost 200 vehicles. It
will not be paved this year. This

Snag Struck
(Continued from Page 1)
That was being met, it was
generally reported, by a proc
lamation of both parties' good
faith in execution of the con
tract! Efforts were being made to
cover the union shop difficulty
by a clause putting it into effect
pending a final court ruling on
its legality.
There was no indication of any
actual breakdown in the phras
ing although operator spokes
man George H. Love commented
as the drafting committee took
a luncheon recess:
Nothing Signed as Yet
"It looks like there are a hell
of a lot of things yet to be done."
George H. Moses, who speaks
for the steel companies' captive
mines, said nothing was signed,
"but I'm carrying my pen handy
in my pocket."
There was no comment from
Lewis at all. It was learned that
one of the difficulties in getting
the southern operators into the
agreement with northern and
western operators is arrears pay
ments into the UMW welfare
fund. The southerners so far
are holdouts.
That arrears account now
stands at about $5,000,000. A
total of 191 producers have re
fused topay for varying periods
since the old contract expired
June 30. A standout case is the
big Island Creek Coal company
in West Virginia which has not
paid anything into the fund since
that date.
Despite the close approach
to final settlement, the govern
ment appealed last Thursday's
ruling by Judge Keech acquit
ting the UMW of contempt for
the miners' refusal to go back to
work as the Judge had ordered
Justice department attorneys
said they would ask the appellate
court to hear the case Monday

Reddick Made
Store Manager
Herbert Reddick, associated
with the Gervurtz Furniture
company, 275 North Liberty
street, for the past seven months,
has been appointed store man
ager to succeed George Maurer,
who resigned.
Previous to his arrival in Sa
lem, where he now lives with
his family in a new home at 520
Illinois avenue, Reddick was
merchandise manager for Til
bury & Fink at McMinnville and
store merchandise manager for
the Case Furniture company at
Emmett, Idaho.
Louis Gevurtz, who has stores
in Portland, Coos Bay and Sa
lem, says Reddick has an en
viable reputation for develop
ing a friendly store rather than
an institution recognized for me
thods of high pressure selling.
In addition, his experience in in
terior decoration enables him to
serve this community more ade- '
quately.
Mr. Reddick announces that
no changes will be made in stora
personnel. Lines of merchandise
may be enhanced, however, by
representation of an eastern Una
of furniture not heretofore of
fered in this locality and dis
tinguished because of its design
anad quality.
