DITCH FIGHT MADE,
 5TATEH00D5

WASHINGTON, @Aus. l6.-i4i- Last ditch strategy which would seek to bring action CT the Alaska and Hawaii statehood bills was be- ing considered today.
 Postponement of House recess until Aug. 25 gave advocates ot statehood for the two areas an op- portunity to try next Monday to get action on necessary enabling measures.
 Rep. J. Hardin Peterson O. Fla) said he would ask approval of his plan by the House Public Lands committee when it meets to- morrow. The committee recom- mended earlier that the House pass the statehood bills
 T think the advice of the com- mittee will be to attempt to call up the bills by direct resolutions by-passing the Rules committee. ,
 He said next Monday probably will be the last day this may be done and if it fails then, further action is improbable before Janu- ary.

INJUNCTION
 IN STRIKE IN HAWAII
Anti-Piekeiing Order Is Is. sued-Hdrry Bridges
 Shows Defiance

HONOLULU. Aug. 16.--tR- Harry Bridges showed Hawaii's 108-day CIO dock strike into a decisive phase today. The Territorial gov- ernment obtained an anti-picketine injunction. He defied it personal ly.
 The next step was up to Walter D. Alderman, jr., Hawaii's Attor- ney General. His offices said that Bridges. president of the CIO In- ternational Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, might hs arrested for contempt. Alderman said he would determine today what to do.
 Alderman went into circuit court yesterday to obtain the injunction He acted under an emergency law of the Territorial Legislature. Un- der this act the government has seized Hawaii's struck stevedorine firms. It plans to operate the docks, tied up since the ILWU struck May for 32 cents hike in the $40 hourly basic longshore wage.
 The Territory resorted to the in- junction as it tried to unload the Matson Line freighter Hawaiian Merchant at Pier Nine. ILWU pickets were on duty there. GIG Marine Cooks and Stewards anc Independent Marine Bremen salo they would walk off the ship il the government stevedores worked behind the picket line.
 Judge Edward A. Towse granted the injunction. It restraints the ILWU from picketing Pier Nine It also restraints the ILWU, its officers and 100 John Does from melting or directing" anyone else picket the pier and thus halt work on the ship.
 Taking a picket post on Pier Nine, Bridges moved swiftly tow ard ILWU's long threatened test of the seizure laws constitutional ity.
 Authorities served him with an injunction notice. He stuffed it in his pocket. For a half hour he marched on the picket line. Police did not try to stop him.
 He told reporters: This is the start on this law. It's going to the Supreme Court This is where it starts and that is where it will end. What these islands need * a cool breeze, legislatively speak ing"
 The ILWU has called the seizure law all along an attempt to break the strike.

 Appointments

WASHINGTON, Aug. l6-LR- Maj. Gen. Alden H. Waitt today said that Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan asked him to prepare a memorandum on eight officers eligible for waitt's job as Chief of the Army Chemical Corps.
 Waitt told the Senate Investi- gations Committee that he thought Vaughan, who is President Tru- mans Army aide asked him to do so at some social gathering-"per- haps a cocktail party
 He said he could not recall the date, but said he thought VaugfaL asked him to give my estimate my personal opinion"-of officers most likely to be considered for the post.
 Further, Waitt acknowledged to the Committee, looking into activi- ties of the so-called five perccnters, that he dictated the memorandum to the secretary of James V. Hunt. Washington Management Coun- selor. Hunt has been prime figure in the inquiry.
 Senator Mundt (R-SD) said when the memorandum was placed in evidence last week that Waitt had "cut the throats" of his brother officers who might succeed him as the Army's Chemical Chief.
 Waitt, small, slightly built man, wore his uniform with four rows of decorations as he testified. He has remained silent publicly since he was suspended.
 Waitt today called Hunt "a close personal friend" Before Waitt testi- fled, It. Col. Roy T. Evans testi- fled that Hunt claimed to have been responsible for Waitt's ap- pointment as Chemical Chief.
 The Committee arranged that program after getting testimony behind closed doors yesterday af- ternoon from three witnesses who figured in the 1945 shipment of home freezers to Mrs. Harry Tru- man and other Washington not ables.
 One of the witnesses questioned privately told reporters afterwards that the freezers were "the best obtainable at the time," and hat there was great public demand for them.
