Senate Urged To Pass House-Version Of Bill For Alaska Statehood

For Alaska Statehood
 WASHINGTON, R The chairman of the Senate Insular Affairs Committee has urged Senate supporters of Alaska statehood legislation to back a House-approved bill to avoid possible difficulties in obtaining House concurrence with Senate amendments.
 Sen. James E. Murray O-Mon) in a letter sent to all members of the Senate, pointed out possible parliamentary difficulties which would face the Alaska bill in the House should the Senate alter the House-passed bill.
 These include the necessity of obtaining either unanimous con- sent of all House members or approval of the House Rules Committee either to accept Sen ate amendments or to send the bill to conference to iron out diff ferences, between the House and Senate versions.
 Because of strong opposition among some Southern Democrats, including Rep. Howard w. Smith, Rules Committee Chairman, ei- ther course is considered unlikely.
 The Senate now is expected to take up the Alaska bill early next week, probably Monday.
 Statehood supporters feel they have a minimum of 52 votes in the 96-member Senate but are uncertain how their forces will stand in the face of possible amendments.
 One such amendment-to tie Hawaii's statehood ambitions to the Alaska bill-could be offered either by supporters of Hawaiian statehood or by opponents to the admission of either territory. Statehood advocates generally agree that combination of Hawaii and Alaska would mean death to the hopes for statehood of either territory.
 The House Insular Affairs Com mittee gave a setback to any dwindling hopes Hawaiian sup porters might have for this year by putting off consideration of the Hawaii bill for at least two weeks.
 Because there was little real istic hope that the House could complete action on the Hawaiian measure in the remaining days of this session, it was not ex- pected that the House committee action would have any major eff feet on the Senate's course of action.

Ask County Ordinance
The board asked that an
ordinance be drafted to provide
county regulation and inspec-
ton of private sewage plants.
This is now under the State
Water Control Board, but
county officials and residents
have been highly critical of
the State boards handling of
the problem.
The board also authorized a
study on the desirability of
the county acquiring the Pim-
nit Hills plant or building
sewer lines to connect the area
with some other plant.
Meanwhile it received COM

Move Ahead Now
The board asked the county
park authority to move ahead
Immediately on acquisition of
land at Great Falls.
Mr.. Robinson said the park
authority has tried unsuccess-
fully since 1852 to get PEPCO
officials to place a price on the
land which surrounds the
county'S eight-acre Great Falls
Park. He said the authority
wrote PEPCO on May 10 offer
ing $350,000 for 600 acres of
the utility company's 877-acre
tract. He said the park au-
thority planned, with county
board approval. to condemn
the land PEPCO refuses to ne
gotiate.
The county has set aside
100000 in the 1859 budget
for Great Falls Park land pur-
chase. Mr.. Robinson said the
authority could issue $250,000
worth of revenue bonds and
that another $250,OO0 has been
committed tentatively from
Nature Conservancy, a ma
tional organization which pro-
vides money for conservation
purposes.

however. according TO Planning
Engineer Arthur j. stellhorne.
One Dissenting Vote
The planning boards deci-
sion to recommend restoration
came on a 4-to-i vote. w.
Lawson King. an up-county
member Of the board, dis
sented, saying he believed the
2-acre belt should be narrowed
somewhat.
The planning board, whose
recommendations can be ig-
nored by the council, also
urged restoration Of the 2-acre
coming rule on about 1000
acres in the Clarksburg area.
The council two weeks ago
tentatively agreed to assign
half-acre status to that section.
In addition, the board re-
quested that its recommended
extension Of the 2-acre zone
into the Glen Hills section
covering several hundred acres
be retained. The council re-

section of the county.
Board members said rapid
development of the county, the
airport being built at Chantilly
and the Central Intelligence
Agency at Langley make a
countrywide sewerage study a
necessity.
County Executive Carlton c.
Massey said a detailed plan
could cost 100000. He esti-
mated the cost within the next
year at $4,000 to $4,000.
The board also took steps to
provide county regulations for
the operation of private sew
age plants. The action came
after denial of a request by a
developer to connect AZ more
homes to the Pimmit Hills
treatment plant.
Residents Complain
Residents of Pimmit Hills
complained that the plant in
their area, owned by the Pim-
NIT Hills Service Corp, is not
being operated properly.
A group of residents took
similar complaints to court last
year and had the plant OPP
orator indicted for maintaining
"a nuisance and public health
menace. The case has not been
heard yet because the operator
agreed to take steps to i'm

connections to the plant, and
