WASHINGTON. Sept. 10 - tR -
Gov. Ernest Gruening of Alaska said
after a White House call today he
still has some hope that the Alas

as a reporter put it, to ask Mr.. Tru-
man to put the heat on" He said
the President is doing everything he
feels he can.
Governor Gruening said if the
measure is not taken up by the Sem
ate this week it probably will be
made the unfinished business for
consideration when the Senate re-
sumes probably in November after
the elections.
