House Votes Alaska
Statehood; 10 Act on
Hawaii Next Week

A bill to grant statehood tc
Alaska has been passed by the
House and sent to the Senate.
Next week, the House will take
up a similar measure for Hawaii
The Alaskan bill was approved
yesterday by a roll call vote of
1876 to 146.
The substantial opposition ral-
lied behind the argument that the
territory, with about 100000 in
population. would have dispropor-
tionately high representation in
the Senate.
If the Senate approved the bill,
and President Truman signed it,
Alaska would become the 49th
State.
The last States admitted to the
Union were New Mexico and Ari-
zona. which joined in 1912.
Representatives of large States
led the fight on the bill, which
had bipartisan support. Repre-
sentative Delaney, Democrat, of
New York. pointed out Alaska :
100000 would have as much voice
in the Senate as New York's S
100000.
Some hackers of statehood en-
phasized the strategic Importance
of the territory. They claimed
statehood would prompt accel-
Grated development and settlement
of Alaska.
Backers of both the Alaskan and
Hawaiian bills admit privately
their chances in the Senate are
poorer than in the House.

members of the House today in
the form of a 25-point memoran-

by Representative Kennedy. DEM
ocrat, of Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Kennedy filed the docu-

rule measure is tied up in the

A total of 2l8 are necessary to

Replying to critics of the bill

Music
Trieste Trio Plays
Program With
Stimulating Effect
By EIeno de Soyn

The Trieste Trio of Italy, a new
group in the field of chamber
music, was presented last night
by the Gertrude Clarke WhiCtal
Foundation in the Library o1
Congress. It's members are Re
nato Zanettovich, violinist: LiberC
Lana, cellist, and Muzio Monta-
mari, pianist. The unusual fea-
ture of the ensemble is that the
artists play virCuoso fashion. with
out music and in a grand manner
1t is said that the violinist and
the celliSt, still under 80, have
been playing together for more
than Is years. Not so very long
ago they lost through illness the
original pianist of their group. but
were fortunate in finding a
worthy successor in Mr.. Monta-
mari, brilliant virtuoso and a
fine musician.
Although it is not customary to
play chamber music without
notes, it must be said that such a
practice in many cases, enhances
the quality of the performance
1t lends eloquence and distinction
to the sound and freedom of ex-
preston rarely attained other
wise. The tone of the strings was
vital, round and alive, and that
of the cellist was especially beau
tiful. Mr. Montanari's playing
had sweep, clarity and brilliancy
1t may have been a little too
strong for the three pieces from
Sameau's pieces de Clavecin en-
Concert" in which, more often
than not, the cello could not be
heard.
Otherwise the performance left
little to be desired. Beethoven S
Ghost" trio in ID Major, op. 10.
No. l." possibly nicknamed thus
because of the eerie quality of the
Largo assai ed expressive, was
played with thoughtful care and
dramatic effect, and Brahms
Trio in C Major. op. 81" with
breadth and nobility. What Clara
Schumann wrote to Brahms with
reference to his composition. "A
trio like yours is a real musical
tonic" would be applicable to the
performance of the Trieste group.
