Lucas Says Statehood
Is Virtually Hopeless
Al Present Session
BY the Associofed Press

Statehood for Alaska and
Hawaii during the present Con-
gress appeared virtually a lost
cause today.
Senate Majority Leader Lucas
said he held no hope of coalition
of Republicans and Southern Dem
ocrats removing the roadblock
they set up to stall the measures.
He denounced their tactics as a
filibuster.
President Truman had urged
statehood for both Territories as a
reply to Russian propaganda in
the Orient that the United States
has colonial ambitions. The Pres
ident said, too; they deserve state
hood. Opponents, on the other
hand. argue the two Territories
are not ready for statehood and
that admitting them to the Union
would not check Soviet propa-
ganda.
Senator Lucas all but acknowl-
edged defeat in a Senate speech
yesterday. Opposition strength,
he said. has made it very clear
there isn't going to be any vote
on the statehood bill"
Most opposition to the state
hood measures traces back to the
old fight over civil rights, he said.
Southern Democrats repeatedly
are fighting the bills mainly be-
cause they feel Senators from
Alaska and Hawaii would join
Evening star., 1950-12-01

forces with those who favor civil
rights legislation.
The same fight. Senator Lucas
added. also has blocked contro-
versial railway labor bill. This
measure seeks to allow the union
shop and "checkoff" payment of
union dues in the railway indus
try. Senator Jenner, Republican,
of Indiana wants it to carry a
fair employment practices
amendment which the Southern
group opposes vigorously.
After four days of debate, the
issues have become enmeshed in
this parliamentary snarlup:
l. The Senate can't proceed to
vote on the Alaskan statehood
bill without an impossible -to-get
unanimous agreement to sidetrack
the railway labor bill.
2. It can't go ahead with the
labor bill without unanimous ap-
proval-almost equally difficult
to sidetrack a pending motion to
vote on Statehood for Alaska.

What does Senator-e1ect who
has never before been to Wash
ington look for first?
To newly elected Herman Welk-
er, 44-year-old Republican Of
Idaho, the first things that caught
his eye as his train entered the
yards of Union Station were the
most important.
The panorama was highlighted
by the Capitol and the Washing
ton Monument, symbols of the
democracy which Mr.. Welker will
be sworn to serve on January 8,
when he takes Office. He had
never seen them before. except
as pictured in history books.
Washington a Thrill.
"They gave me a thrill which
will never be duplicated" he said.
"You people in Washington see
the Capitol and the Monument
every day. But don't take them
for granted. Remember what they
symbolic"
The new Senator had never
been East Of Chicago until he
arrived here Tuesday. At May
flower Hotel interview yesterday,
he said he knew he was going
to like Washington, even if it
lacked Idaho's vast open spaces.
We've got to have a house"
Senator Welker explained. II was
