The house rejected, on a 217 to 172 roll call, .efforts of statehood opponents to kill the bill by refusing to take it up. The action meant only that the measure would be debat ed, probably at length. How ever, the test vote lent en couragement to statehood sup porters that Alaska may be come the 49th state. Speaker Sam Rayburn re jected efforts of opponents to block the bill's consideration on assorted points of order. He recognized Rep. Wayne Aspin all (D-Colo.) to call it up un der house rules making state hood a matter of "privilege." The procedure was used be cause the rules committee, which controls the flow of or dinary legislation from other committees to the floor, had refused to clear the measure for House debate.
