Alaska Delegation Seeks Admittance As Congress Opens Washington SJ.R) Alaska's unofficial congressional delega tion today stood at the doors of Congress in hopes of present ing a petition calling for Alas kan statehood. The territory's two "sena tors", Ernest Gruening and Wil liam A. Egan, hoped to be ad mitted to the Senate floor after the 85th Congress convenes at noon. The territory's one "repre sentative", Ralph Rivers, indi cated he may delay seeking ad mission to the House. Appropriation Sought For Timberline Lodge Portland UU) An appro priation of SI. 857,000 to finance new construction and repairs at Timberline lodge will be sought j from Congress, the Portland Chamber of Commerce said to day. George Henderson, chairman of the chamber's Mt. Hood com mittee said that the money, if appropriated, would be used to build overnight camp grounds, provide inexpensive lodging and restore recreation trails. Major job the chamber is ask ing the government to undertake is construction of a new wing on the lodge at a cost of Sl.206,000. The group also seeks to have the chairlift relocated and other im provements made. The three Alaskans did not plan to seek seats in the Senate and House, but only to present the statehood petition. Legally the Senate and House could refuse to admit the Alas kans regardless of their purpose. Elected on Theory Alaska elected the three men on the theory that if it had con gressmen already selected. Con gress would act more speedily to grant it statehood. The plan, first tried by Tennessee, has succeeded for several states in the past. The two "senators" and one "representative" spent much of their time Wednesday visiting the offices of senators and rep resentatives. They also met with Secretary of Interior Fred A. Seaton. . Gruening said the Alaskan delegation strongly protest ed against proposals that mili tary defense areas be excluded from any future state of Alaska. The "senator" said he had re ports that the drafters of the administration's Alaskan state hood bill planned to exclude the defense areas from the proposed new state. He said the delegation told Seaton it has no objection to military reservations within state boundaries, but sees no "sound reason for amputation of part of Alaska." He said the delegation will submit a "strong" brief on the subject to Seaton.
