Sen. Gruening Is
Optimistic on
Statehood Chances
SAN FRANCISCO, (fl—Ernest
Gruening of Alaska has expressed
optimism that the territory he
represents will be granted state
hood at the next session of Con
gress.
Gruening, former governor of
Alaska, and William A. Egan,
•were elected last year as senators
—effective when the territory
becomes a state.
Gruening told h news confer
ence Wednesday all that remains
for Alaska to become a state is for
Congress to approve bills already
okayed by committees for the
President to sign.
When such legislation is signed,
Gruening said, Alaska would be
free of important discriminatory
restraints and be in better posi
tion to fight for freedom from
others.
Without political and economic
restraints, he predicted, the terri
tory’s population will grow from
its present 209,000 to 500,000 by
1965 and 1,009,000 by 1975.
“We have the highest freight
rates in the world,” said Gruen
ing. “We are discriminated against
on the export-import rates. We
pay 140 percent more for goods
shipped to us from Iowa, for ex
ample, than a person would pay
for the same goods shipped to
Australia or Japan. *
