Endorsements, Objections To Statehood Are Given
 In Repori Of Commiiiee c

This double -barrelled report soon will be brought back to the sub committee for formal action. If the recommendation is favorable-and it probably will be-a rule will be sought to bring the measure to the House floor for debate and vote.
 But, even if the measure receives a rule alloting time for debate and a place on the calendar, there is no assurance it could be acted on at this session of Congress. Bills with more potent influence in this sea son of political maneuvering would intervene to prevent vote. The Marshall Plan, tax reduction, appro- priations. public health, housing all capable of swinging votes to Re- publicans or Democrats in next Nov ember's election-will receive prior consideration.
 Seeking to probe the thinking of subcommittee members, this report CT conducted an informal poll. Here are some of the comments:
 Fred L. Crawford, Republican, Michigan, Chairman of the group which went to Alaska-"Alaska can no longer be administered as a Ter ritory. We must tie this important area into our bundle of sticks and tie it up permanently. It is the responsibility of this 90th Congress,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-03-05

the most important area in the world to the United States. Her greatest i'll is lack of people, but the privi- Ieges and responsibilities of state hood soon would cure that. People would follow in the wake of state hood, and economy of the area would flourish
 Each subcommittee member was asked; Do you favor statehood now? If not now, when? If not, why not?
 Answers revealed some members to be dubious or frankly perplexed, others to be zealously enthusiastic for statehood or strongly opposed.
 Twelve members said they favored statehood now. Two declared them selves unalterably against statehood for any territory outside of the continental limits of the United States-now or ever. Of he remain ing six, two asserted they would fa- vor statehood "in few years" and four were against it now but said they might change their minds Ii logical arguments were presented" :" More Fasteners than Westerners expressed themselves in favor of making Alaska the 50th state, saying that Hawaifs financial status en- titled her to the 49th state.
 If Congressman Crawford contin- ues his campaign, he may wear down the two members against state hood-period It's a fair bet he will convert those who have not yet made up their minds. Missionary zeal such as his refuses to recognize a mo" as final.

before it adjourns next summer, to get statehood for Alaska"
 Congressman Crawford was arm cd with many arguments, most of them sounding suspiciously like Gov ernor Gruening's words in newspa- | per interviews and radio broadcasts the last two years Furthermore, Crawford summarily dismissed any argument that the Territory may not be ready to assume the obli- cations of statehood)
 Republican Congressmen Jay Le- Fevre, New York; Edward H. Jen- nison, Illinois, and William A. Daw- son. Utah, who accompanied Craw- ford last summer, supported him, although Dawson, a former oppon- ent of statehood, was less voluble than the others.
 Clair Engle, Democrat, Calif.-"It Crawford's for statehood, then pre- sume I'm for it. Our thinking us- ually falls into the same basket. tThis was a surprise, as Engle, a former anti, prevented the commit tee from taking action on Dele gate Bartlett's statehood bill last session, when he demanded a thor ougil survey of the Territory by a subcommittee before proceeding fur ther).
 Charles H. Russell, Republican, Ne vada-"If the bill were to be report ed out now, I guess I'd vote for it, but I feel strongly that Alaska should not be granted statehood until after the Senate votes on the Hawaiian statehood bill passed by the House last summer. The national policy on off-shore possessions is so beclouded that it should be threshed out on the Senate side before the House makes a move on Alaska. Without the present military impor- tance of Alaska and Hawaii, think would oppose statehood for either"
 Karl M. LeCompte, Republican, Iowa-"Oringinally, I was strongly for statehood, but recently I've be- gun to wonder The more I learn of the tax situation up there, the more I question how 98 percent of the Preferably non taxable land can be supported by the two percent which is subject to taxation. My mind is not yet made up"
 E. H. Hedrick, Democrat, West Virginia-"The Aeople of Alaska should cure the evils now besetting the Territory notably the lack of tax-paying by it's average citizen. Why, I'm told they can't even sup port their University, and how can they hope to be admitted as state unless they can support their school system, including a university?'
 William Lemke, Republican, North Dakota-'If proper bill is pre- sented, I shall vote for it. State hood would help settle Alaska with good Americans" Gemke's bill to throw open the public domain in the Territory for homesteading by war veterans was passed by the House last session..
 Preston F. Peden, Democrat, Ok lahOma, co-author of the Lemke bill-On many questions I have doubt. but on granting statehood to Alaska I have none Alaska is
