Course of Alaska-Hawaii
Statehood Bills Charted
At White House Today
WASHINGTON, UP — The ad
ministration’s course on legislation
to bring Alaska and Hawaii into
the Union may be charted at a
White House conference this after
afternoon.
The subject is one of several
expected to be discussed when
two Nebraska Republicans, Sen.
Butler and Rep. Miller, and other
Congressional leaders meet with
President Eisenhower.
Butler and Miller are chairmen
of the Senate and House Interior
Affairs Committees.
Prior to the White House meet
ing, Butler told a reporter the
question of statehood undoubtedly
would arise but that the discus
sion was expected to cover all
major legislation before the com
mittees which would be acted
upon by Congress.
The Hawaii and Alaska state
hood bills were stalemated in the
Senate committee early this year
when a majority voted to combine
the two and hold further hearings.
The hearings have been held dur
ing the Congressional recess.
Butler, who opposed granting
statehood to Alaska in the form
proposed in pending legislation,
said recently he believes a major
ity of the committee now is ready
to separate the two bills and send
the Hawaiian measure to the Sen
ate for action.
He said he also planned to “take
up" the Alaska legislation with a
view to reporting it out but would
not predict the result.
Statehood bills for both terri
tories have been approved by the
House committee.

Anchorage City Officials
Protest 20 Per Cent Hike
In Fire Insurance Rates
JUNEAU, UR—City officials of
Anchorage and the manager of the
Pacific Fire Rating Bureau Thurs
day voiced conflicting opinions on
the blanket 20 per cent surcharge
recently added to residential fire
insurance rates in western Alaska.
At public hearings in Territor
ial Insurance Commissioner Neil
Moore’s office, city attorney Ralph
Moody and fire chief Geo. Bums
said the surcharge for their city
of Anchorage was “discriminatory
and unfair.”
R. C. Stevenson, manager of the
PFRB, said the rate hike was im
posed after a study of the heavier
loss ratio in western Alaska.
The surcharge has been added
in all parts of the territory west
of the 137th meridian, which ex
cludes southeast Alaska.
