had thanks for Heintzlemar, "a
great and everlasting tribute for
his unceasing, tireless work.; to

"A public library is a great nee
essity," he said. I'VE can lose the
greatness of America by force or
from within Through this $124,-
900 structure and what it stands
for. we must keep pace with aG-
vances in science, in the fields of
character, knowledge and learning
Faulkner pointed out that the
new library is dedicated to the
memory "of those splendid young
men who laid down their lives in
our defense" He said the names
will be inscribed on parchment 10

that further tribute to Juaeaus
war dead will be made when the
building is completed. M

Senate Unlikely 10 Aci
On Statehood Bills
Before Next Session
By ]. A. OLearx

The outlook was dim today for
Senate action on statehood for
Alaska and Hawaii in the few
remaining weeks of this Congress.
But Senator O'Mahoney, Demo-
crat, of Wyoming refused to con-
cede defeat.
Opponents prevented consider
alton of the Alaskan bill this
week, and when the Senate re-
convenes Monday leaders plan to
call up the 60-day extension of
Federal rent control.
Senator O'Mahoney said he will
demand the statehood issue be
brought back before the Senate
as soon as the rent bill is passed
which he hopes will be not later
than Wednesday.
Other Pressing Measures.
Before long. however, the state
hood bills will have to give way
again for urgent defense appropri-
atlonS and for the tax bill. Al
though the House has passed the
Alaskan and Hawaiian bills, both
measures will die if the Senate
does not concur before January
3, when the new Congress takes
over. In that event the statehood
bills would have to be reintro-
duced in both houses.
Southern Democrats, with some
Republican help. are opposing
statehood, and the time factor is
on their side in the closing weeks
of the old Congress. But Senator
O'Mahoney said today, II am not
through fighting by a long shot"
U. N. Move Predicted.
Meanwhile, the labor commits
sioner of Alaska, Henry A. Benson,
predicted move in the Territory
to place the issue of Alaskan in
dependence be- ore the United Ma
tions unless statehood is granted.
Mr.. Benson told a news confer
ence he expects some one will
raise the issue in the United Ma
tions before Christmas, but that
the move would not come from
ANY one in responsible posi-
ton"
