makes II Illegal for employers Of

Of the measure, the key members
Of both organizations are Demo

cans IN overwhelming control the
bin seemed doomed 10 burial In

matters worse, IT had been intro
duced by one Of the four Demo-

become the 49th state, civil rights
legislation is doomed for another
setback despite efforts Of the
nations pressure groups of out
side" forces.
While most Of the country con-
siders Hawaii not only a healthy
state, but socially and economi-
cally strong as wen, southern
senators last week limited that
they would fight all proposals and
bills, making not only Hawaii, but
any area where the whites are in
an absolutely minority, the 49th
state.
1t was back in 1854, when
Franklin Pierce was president,
that Hawaii made its first bid for
statehood. Now, a century later,
the latest bid is facing defeat in
the Senate. ...........
Most folks think the bill stands
a good chance of passing, If there
are no slip-ups. President Elsen-
hover is in favor. The House
passed the bill 274-138 nearly
two weeks ago, and the last
stumbling block, the Senate, is
expected to reach its decision
about April 1.
Anyway you look at it, several
factors stand out among others:
1. II the United States admit
Hawaii as the 49th state it win
be taking in for the first time
state in which the Caucasian
race is an absolute minority, thus
adding q possible two votes
boosting civil rights in the SEN
ate.
2. Virginia, one of the states
fighting to maintain separate
schools for Negroes, Is leading
opposition to defeat statehood
for Hawaii.
8. Hawaii would be the first
state outside the continent to be
admitted which could give Alaska
its long awaited chance to become
possibly the 50th state.
Democrats who fought unsuc-
ceSsfully to get both Hawaii and
Alaska into the Union in the last
two congresses, say the Republic
cans are playing politics with the
bills this year.
Hawaii is not as large as Texas
but 1t Is made up of eight major
islands tatalling 6,400 square
miles, a bit larger than Connect
cut and Rhode Island combined.
Hawaii is traditionsIly Republic
can, but this year. Democrats
gained strength in its legislature.
Alaska, long regarded as Demo
cratic, elected a Republican ma
jority in its territorial house and
senate.
Sprinkling American styled
politics literally, the house hash
ed and rehashed the Hawaii state
hood bill and passed 1t with a
wide majority, and sent it to the
senate, which Is rehashing 1t
again.
Southern senators gave no hints
as to a filibuster against the
statehood bill, but it was appar-
ent they may attempt to talk the
bill to death when It reached the
floor.
