William F. Knowland (R-Cahf. i, today girded them selves tor one more big, bold bid for acceptance into the Union this session of Congress. Chief among the plans taking shape was the selection of a new bipartisan delegation of state hood fighters, headed by Gov William r. (Juinn, to descend on Washington probably early next week. Statehood Commissioner Lorrin P. Thurston said Hawaii's re newed campaign would be based a lot on the guidance and think ing of Knowland. . Thurston said the California senator in telephone conversation Wednesday expressed the belief Hawaii this year still could drum up almost the identical support in the Senate that Alaska got in her successful drive if a vigorous eflort were made during the ap- proximate month of life in the cession. "Mr. Knowland said the enemies of Hawaii statehood are . basically the same who opposed Alaska," Thurston said, "and that once they found they are out voted they would quit."
