House Approves Resolution For
 Statehood Law

house vote on Alaska and Hawaii statehood was assured today.
 The house late yesterday ap- proved special resolutions making the statehood legislation in order for house action.
 Majority le der Mccormack D-MasSD announced that the bills will be programmed for future consideration but he said it will not be this week. He did not indi- cate when they will be called up-
 When the house session opened the majority of the members ex- pectcd to vote on the controver- sial fair employment practices bill, a part of the presidents civil rights program.
 Speaker RaybWn ID TcxD, h owev recognized chairman Peterson D-FIaD of the house public lands committee, who of fered a resolution calling up the Alaska statehood bill, and later one for the Hawaii bill.
 Rep. Coudert R-N.YD told the house the failure to call up the FEPC legislation and the taking up of the Alaska and Hawaii bills twas a travesty on parliamentary procedure"
 He protested that the statehood questions were flung in our teeth" without any advance know ledge that they would be the sub ject for debate.
 Tt is brought up," he said, just to keep off another bill that should be considered"
 He protested tn a t granting statehood to Alaska and Hawaii would add four more senators who would be exercising power and influence beyond that of the entire delegations from large states.
 Such action, he said, would open the door to making states of the Virgin Islands, Pacific islands such as Guam, and other posses Sions.
 He recalled that he was pending constitutional m n d m e n t which would permit congress to reduce the number of senators in new state to one.
 Coudert argued that the chief reason the bills were called up was that the two territories have attractive, genial and persuasive delegates who can wrap the mem bership of this house around their fingers"
 The delegates, Bartlett, demo- crat of Alaska, and Harrington, republican of Hawaii, each urged approval of the rule permitting, the bills to be considered.
 Mccormack laughingly told Coudert and rep. Halleck R-IndD that he had promised Pennington that the Alaska and Hawaii bills would be considered in that order.
