STATEHOOD FOR ] TERRITORIES
 E SET FORTH
Mrs. Olive Re Goldman, Kug' 5 Consult
 ant, Handles Info
By VERN HAUGLAND

WASHINGTON, Aug. lo-ur- Write a letter to the Interior De- partment about Alaska or Hawaii and chances are it'll wind up on the desk of Mrs. Olive Remington Goldman, lately of Urhana, H.
 Secretary of the Interior Krug hired her last April as consul tant, primarily on problems relat- ing to statehood for the two Terri tories.
 She also works on preparations for Interior Department Adminis- tration of Guam-scheduled to be- gin next July 1-American Samoa and the Marshall, Caroline and the Mariana Islands of the Pa cific, all currently under Navy con- trol.
 Twice a candidate for Congress from the 22nd district of Illinois, Mrs. Goldman has an office-and a secretary-just down the corridor from that of Assistant Secretary ! of the Interior William E. Warne.
 She consults daily with Warne and Undersecretary of the Interior Oscar L. Chapman. Mostly, she says, her job is giving speeches and disseminating information about the Territories and Island posses sionS
 ]! A Vassar graduate with Mas ter's degree from the University ot Illinois, she is the wife of Dr. Marcus Selden Goldman, Illinois University English professor and Reserve Army Colonel now on &C., tive duty in Washington. Mrs. Goldman taught at the, University while her husband was on wartime military assignment.
 Mrs. Goldman said the long standing shipping strike in Hawaii has hurt the immediate likelihood of statehood for the Territory. Statehood bills, for Hawaii and I Alaska, approved by the House Public Lands Committee, have bog ged down in the Rules Committee. An Alaska statehood bill in the Senate is unlikely to be forwarded until the House has acted, she said.
 Many people in the lator move ment, including the AFL, the Rail- road Labor Executives Association, International Association of Ma chinists and the CIO, who have indorsed statehood for Hawaii, re- gret that the strike has been used to defeat the legislation in the pre- sent Congress, said Mrs. Goldman, who writes column for a labor weekly in Decatur, Ill.
 Hawaii is prosperous, pays its taxes. turns out for elections and has long deserved statehood. 1 Alaska deserves statehood, too. It's people know the Territory will not develop as it should, in popu- lation and production, until state hood is granted.
 1 Alaska needs statehood, further more. from a military and stra- tegic standpoint, to make for se- curity against Russia"
 Mrs. Goldman said the argument that Alaska cannot yet afford statehood has been pretty well knocked out by the Territorial Legislatures action in voting sub stantial property and income taxes. "Alaskans can afford statehood better than they can get along without it." she said.
 They can't get Federal funds for roads, education and other things they need until they have someone in the Senate to fight for them. Alaska hasn't even enough money for the survey that is needed to clear title to the lands, and her population won't increase substan- tially until that matter is cleared up."
