To Survey Alaskan
Offshore Lands

Committee to include the Alaska

not own her offshore lands. But
a law enacted last year gave the
territory pffshore lands adjoin
ing certain townsites. The money
would be rsed to determine lim
its of those offshore areas.

| Senate Urged To Pass
j House-Version Of Bill
; For Alaska Statehood
WASHINGTON, UP) — The
I 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 (D-Mont.)
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 dif
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 a combination of
Hawaii and Alaska would mean
I 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 anjf major ef
fect on the Senate’s course of
action.
