Statehood for Alaska and Hawaii Is Urged by Two
 Governors Before Forum

NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.-lR-Jo- seph R. Harrington, Delegate to Congress from Hawaii, last night called on Congress to grant state hood to Hawaii, declaring that such action would greatly enhance the influence of the United States in the Pacific and among all de- pendent peoples"
 TO compel the people of this Territory to continue in theii present status" he told the l6tl annual New York Herald Tribune Forum, would be not only the vio- lation of a promise, but contrary to the wish of the people them selves, who voted for statehood in a plebescite in l940.'
 The Governor Alaska urged that Congress grant statehood to the Territory, and said the present political status and economic con- diticns of Alaskans are more loosely akin to serfdom than to sovereignty"
 Tt is my conviction he told the forum. shared by the majority of Alaskans. that territoriality is the major factor in retarding growth and development.
 '. for half a century the economy of Alaska has rested chiefly on two industries, salmon fisheries and gold mines. both at present languishing, partly as a result of Federal policies.
 "Alaska's other vast potential ities have remained undeveloped chiefly owing to inappropriate laws imposed by Congress. conservation measures which have often not con- served tut often have paralyzed and an economy dominated by absentees whose chief purpose was to extract wealth of Alaska rapidly take it away with them and leave little or nothing within the Terri tory"
 Harrington said there was little question that if Alaska had been sovereign state at the time of the outbreak of World War II the Aleutian campaign would ney- CT have taken place and American lives would have been saved
 Today" he added, Alaska is even more important stiategically thar during the second World War

RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 21-tR- Brazil second largest country in the Western Hemisphere, announce cd today she had severed diplo- matic relations With Soviet Russia.
 The announcement set diplomats to speculating that Brazil might eventually extend the break to countries in the Soviet sphere of influence. They recalled Chile's re- cent break with Yugoslavia.
 The break with Russia formalized situation already virtually in eff feet. Brazil resumed relations with Russia in l945 but there have been no commercial or cultural exchang- es.

NEW PROBE IS STARTED
 WITH FIGHT
''Lost" Mobilization Plan to Be lnvestigdted-
 Witness Summoned

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. tR- A Democratic battle over why it took so long to get American plants producing full blast for the war appears likely this week at a Senate committee inquiry into industrial mobiliza- tion' plans.
 Deflected momentarily today for a look into the progress of war contract renegotiations. the Senate War Investigating committee to- morrow will begin questioning Sec retary of Defense Forrestal about a lost mobilization plan.
 Chairman Brewster tR-Me) told reporters this plan involved three decades of work by the Army and Navy. It was capped, he added by a polishing report made before the war by a citizens committee headed by Edward R, Stettinius, Jr., who later became Secretary Of State.
 StaI1 WOrk bdu
 The Maine Senator complained that neither this plan, nor any others like it was put into effect when the Pearl Harbor attack tlasted this country into hostilities. Brewster read from a 1946 com- mittee report, signed by its then al,n l. the observation that either the staff work on the mobilization re- port must have been pretty bad or it should not have been shelv- ed
 Brewster denied contention by Senator Pepper tD-Flar that the epublican-controlle committee is trying to convict the late Presi dent Roosevelt of failure to do his full duty by not putting the plan into effect.
 Campaign Material
 Pepper said he thinks the Re- publicans are attempting to lay a predicate for the 1948 campaign" He said he will be on hand at all committee meetings to look out for his party's interests. Pepper added that he thinks the commit tee is stepping beyond the bounds of it's authority but remarked that the Republicans have the votes to go ahead with the inquiry.
 Senator Ferguson tR-Mich), an- other committee member, pooh roohed Peppers claim of politics. Ferguson said the committee in tends to look into a matter of the defense of our nation" and can't be stopped by any such tao tics as those of Pepper.
 Well let the facts speak for themselves at the hearings" the Senator commented
