to the armed services."

ator Guy Cordon (R-Ore.i has
promised Hawaiians he will do
everything in his power to assure
a senate vote on the Hawaiian state
hood issue.

could not yet take a position on the
issue. He came here as chairman
of a senate subcommittee. A state
hood bill was passed by the house

He conferred yesterday with two
foes of the statehood proposal. In
dustrialist Walter F. Dillingham,

torial senator, said there was danger
of "an Oriental alliance." In league
with Russia, to control Hawaii.
