Minority Reports Against
 Alaska, Hawaii Statehood
 Filed Today by Committee

WASHINGTON, May IS = lR - Members of the Senate Insular Af- fairs committee. opposing statehood for Alaska and Hawaii filed today their minority views on the state- hood bills now awaiting Senate ac- ton.
 . Tho minority resres9s SLs.-se Sa-s mission of Hawaii because of what they said was the risk of Communist influence in the Islands. and urge against Alaska statehood because of grave economic ills" in the Terri tory.
 The Hawaii mincTity report was signed by Senators Butler, Malone and Smathers. The three were join ed by Senators Watkins and Long in signing the Alaska minority res port.
 The Alaska report says that Ter ritory cannot afford statehood at the present time"
 Alaska Deficit
 Asserting that Alaska, despite re- cent tax increases, will end the 1951-52 biennium with deficit of more than $2,0OO.ooo, the report says:
 Federal spending in Alaska, in- cluding the multi-million dollar project for war and defense, is at a peak. Aside from the salmon in dustry, which is declining, Federal spending constitutes the Territory's main industry.
 Economic Hardship
 "When this bubble bursts, Alas kans will be faced with extreme ec- onomic hardship"
 Statehood, the report said, would increase the peril of governmental bankruptcy adding $10,00O,000 a year to the already heavy tax bur- den.
 statehood for Alaska" the report said, would benefit handful of political opportunists who are am- bilious to become the officials of the new state, thus gaining powers and stature on a par with other state officials throughout the nation. These are the same individuals un- der whom governmental abuses have been practiced in the Territory for years"
 Should Elect Governor
 The minority group suggested that instead of statehood, Alaskans be given the right to elect their own governor.
 The three senators opposing Ha- waii statehood said the bill should not be passed until we are sure we are not adding red star to the 48 white ones in the American flag"
 They said the International Long, shoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, which controls shipping and sugar and pineapple production in Hawaii, is absolutely controlled by known Communists
