Republicans 10 Fight
Move 10 Tie Hawaiifo
Alaskan Statehood
BY me Associated Press

Senate Majority Leader
Knowland said yesterday that
Senate Republicans will combat
efforts to tie Statehood for
Alaska to. a bill to bring Hawaii
into the Union.
Senator Knowland said In an
interview he believes there is a
better chance for Statehood for
both If their cases are consid-
cred separately.
The battle over Statehood is
just beginning on the Senate
floor and may run on for weeks
with occasional breaks. A
House-approved measure for
granting Hawaii Statehood be-
came pending business in the
Senate Friday night when a
f1ve-weeks battle over treaty
making powers ended.
Anderson Offers Plan.
Senator Anderson. Democrat,
New Mexico. promptly moved to
amend it by adding Statehood
for Alaska, which has not been
approved by the House.
Senator Knowland said It
probably would take about two
weeks of debate before the SEN
ate reaches a vote on this one
preliminary maneuver.
Most Republicans are expected
to favor the Hawaiian bill on the
theory 1t would add two more
G. o. P. Senators to their present
slim ranks. The party now has
Al Senators, one less, than the
Democrats.
For the same reason. many
Democrats favor Statehood for
Alaska in hopes it would send
two Democrats as Senators.
May Avoid Filibusters.
The House passed the Ha-
waiian Statehood bill, 274-138,
nearly a year ago-March 10,

Fulton Lewis Ready
To Fight Libel Suit;
Accepts Challenge
SpeeiaI Dispatch 10 The Sior

LEONARDTOwN. Md. Feb. q.
Fulton Lewis, jr., who was
named by a st. Marys County
grand jury in two indictments
charging libel as a result of
statements stemming from a feud
between the radio commentator
and Republican politicians. to-
night issued the following state
ment:
II will, of course, post collateral
with the court in st. Marys
County on Monday morning and
] am more than happy to accept
the challenge Of the politicians
who inspired these charges.
There is far more involved here
than the common law INSIDE
meanor set forth in the indict-
ment.
This case involves the con-
stitutional right IF every news
paperman. every radio voice. and
every citizen to discuss and COM
ment on the conduct of public
officials in the administration of
their public trust. If these
charges stand, every editorial
page of every newspaper in the
Nation will be gagged by the fist
of entrenched politicians. This
strikes directly at the heart of
freedom of speech and of the
press everywhere.
This small-time political
clique had its opportunity to
fight out this battle with me on
an even level in open court, when
it filed suit to try to stop my
broadcasts in their early stages.
I gladly accepted their challenge
on that occasion, and they
promptly ran to cover and with
drew the suit. Now they resort
to the secret processes of the
grand jury in an effort to silence
my exposures. l don't silence
very well. and it won't work"

NEW YORK, May 27.-A con-
tinuation of steel industry op-
erations for the remainder of
the year at current levels of a
little over 10 per cent capacity
was forecast yesterday by heads
OF two firms in the field.
Eugene G. Grace, chairman of
Bethlehem Steel Corp, and
Benjamin Fairless, chairman of
United States Steel Corp, said
they did not expect any marked
increases or decreases in de-
mand. Both attended the 62d
general meeting of the Ameri-
can Iron & Steel Institute which
opened yesterday.
Mr.. Fairless said United
States Steel is operating at 73
per cent capacity and Mr.. Grace
said Bethlehem's rate is 72 per
cent.
An official of Inland Steel Co.
said his firms operations are
"up around 100 per cent" But
Edward L. Ryerson. chairman
of 1nland's executive commit
tee, said he did not think the
company would stay at that
high rate which was partly due
to the fact that I'VE happen to
be in a local district where there
is more demand for steel in re-
lation to other areas"
