WASHINGTON, RLProspects for passage of Alaska and Ha- waiian statehood legislation by the new Congress were rated to- day by Delegate Bartlett D-Alas- ka) as good"
 Back from a successful re-elec- ton campaign, Bartlett said he plans to meet with Secretary of Interior Seaton soon. The secre- tary has said a statehood bill will be submitted to Congress by the administration.
 In view of the Senate party alignment, the Alaskan said there might be even more Democratic support for statehood than pre- viously" as the result of Hawaii's election of Democratic delegate and legislature.
 At the same time, Bartlett said he would expect the administra- tion to continue its support for Hawaii statehood regardless of the territory's present political complexion, as President Truman did for Hawaii when it was solid ly Republican"
 The delegate said one purpose of his planned meeting with Sea- ton is to discuss the administra-

tion's proposal for boundaries Of the new Alaska state.
 Bartlett said he would hope and believe that boundaries would correspond to those of the present territory "notwithstand- ing any line which might be pro- posed for the purpose of military withdrawals"
 Asked at a recent news confer ence whether proposed military land withdrawals under the ad- ministration bill would be made inside or outside the states bouin- daries, Seaton said he was uncer- tain. He said, however, that the administration bill would follow closely that once proposed by for mer Secretary of Interior Mckay.
 The Mckay proposal, while in cooperating all of the territory within the boundary of the pro- posed state-would have author ized unlimited land withdrawals for defense purposes north and west of line following the Yu- kon River and 160 degrees longi- tude.

BILL TO HELP
COASTAL TRADE
is INTRODUCED
Bonner Measure Would Permit
chartering Of U. S. Tankers

A bill designed to promote new
vessel construction and aid the
nations ailing coastwise shipping
trades has been introduced in the
House of Representatives by Rep.
Herbert C. Bonner (D-N.C.), chair
man Of the House Merchant Ma
rine and Fisheries Committee.
The bill would authorize charter
of up to 20 aforementioned To
tankers now in the idle fleets, with
two major conditions: agreement
to construct up to 10 new, high
speed combination cargo-tank
ships, and agreement to build a
special cargo deck on the chartered
vessels, designed for roll-on, roll
off handling of cargo containers. u.
The bill was suggested by NAL
colin Mclean, president of Pan
Atlantic Steamship Corp, who rea-
sons that reduction in cargo
handling costs will aid in rehabili-
tation of the coastwise trades. His
firm recently acquired two tankers
to be modified for carriage of So
full-size trailers.
"While l am not yet ready to
endorse all of the provisions of
this BILL" Bonner said, 81 do,
intellectually, applaud those who
requested it's introduction for their
imagination and willingness to try
something new and different in an
effort to rehabilitate this trade.
