House Votes Today for First Time
On Consideration of Statehood Bill

proposal which would more than
double that portion of Alaska in
which the bill as now drawn
would permit the Chief Executive
to set up special defense areas
with exclusive military jurisdic-
ton.
The House previously has passed
bills to admit Hawaii only-in
1947, 1850 and 1853. 1t approved
an Alaska bill in 1850.
The Senate last year amended
the 1858 House bill tn include AL
aska as well as Hawaii, but the
House leadership refused to per-
nit the measure to 60 to a confer
ence committee.
Some superstitious supporters Of
statehood point out that individual
bills have been approved by a
Republican House under a Demo
cratic President 1850, and a Re
publican House under a Republi-
can President 1883. This time
with a Democratic Congress and a
Republican President-they think
could be the charm.
But they've got their fingers
crossed.

of digging yesterday-his list

museum of items and relics that
''in the next 100 years will come

ways on President Truman's

By FRANK w. VAILLE

WASHINGTON, R-For the first
time in the long fight over state
hood, the House today gets to vote
whether it will consider a bill to
admit both Alaska and Hawaii as
states.
Before voting on statehood it,
self, the House must decide first
whether to consider the bill under
rules limiting debate and barring
amendments.
Unofficial reports-by support
ers of statehood-say membership
polls by House Democratic and
Republican organization indicate
a majority will support the COM
bined bill If it comes to a vote.
But they concede it will be close.
Should the statehood supporters
successfully pass this hurdle, the
bill itself would come up for seven
hours debate. A final vote would
come. tomorrow.
Ironically, one proposal which
the President has said might ease
his opposition to Alaska can't
come before the House under the
no-amendment procedure. This is

NAME-CALLING

Name-calIing and charge of ''pOIi-
tics' are dominating the farm scene
here in Washington.
Most recent fight is that between Sec
rotary Benson and the majority of
members of the House subcommittee
that passes on USDA spending. The
lawmakers charge that the USDA is
political. and that Bensen policies
are driving some farmers out of BUSH
ness.
Benson's reply to these charges has
been prompt, and angered. He counter
charges that the lawmakers are politi-
cally motivated, and says if farmers
are being forced out of business it is
the fault of the old rigid support law"

fair shape. Most of the veteran

MEXICAN LABOR LAW

Virtually all farm groups are
united in support of bill CHR 1922
which would extend the present
Mexican labor law for an indefinite
period. Present expiration date of
the law is Dec. 81, 1855.
Testifying in favor of unlimited ex-
tension in Washington have been lead
ers of such general farm organizations
as the Farm Bureau. Grange and Ma
tionaI Council of Farmer Cooperatives.
Labor Department officials have rec
commended a 41z-year extension, but
want amendments to the law.
Effects of the changes would be to
rule out Mexicans in areas where do
mestic workers were not offered equal
wages as well as such benefits as
transportation, housing and insurance.
Farm leaders oppose the amend
ments ON these main grounds: ID That
the present labor program is now work.
ing well for the first time in 10 years,
sharply reducing the entry and en-
ployment of Mexican 'wetbacks," (2)
that domestic immigrants travel in
families and benefits would have to in-
clude whole families, whereas Mexican
workers are single workers; co that
the amendments would provide incen-
tives for domestic workers to travel
and this alone could cost producers
$50 million annually; "a that the pro-
posed changes would give agricultural
labor leverage to organize under gov
eminent auspices.
The labor issue probably won't be
finally settled by Congress until close
to adjournment, which would be July
/ at the earliest. Farm leaders, mean
time, will tell you privately that the
law probably will be changed-but
slightly They look for the final result
to be satisfactory

''The immediate increases in basic
quotas for domestic areas, the sena-

ously affected by the combination of
fixed ceiling quotas and the higher
yields per acre brought about by inn

main features being talked:
1. Raise wheat support next year
above the SO per cent of parity level
to which it would drop, in case quotas
are voted down by growers next July.
Support level contemplated would be
perhaps $3.50 or SLIGO per bushel.
