Time Not Right for
Statehood Bill, Says
Governor of Hawaii
WASHINGTON, UP)—Gov. Sam
uel Wilder King of Hawaii says
House Republican Leader Halleck
told him “the time is not right” to
bring out a resolution to send the
Hawaii-Alaska statehood bill to a
Senate-House conference.
King told reporters Halleck
(R-Ind) was “friendly and frank”
in a conference Thursday on
statehood. The Senate has ap
proved a joint Hawaii-Alaska bill
while the House voted for Hawaii
alone—and there the matter
stands.
“He said to bring it out now
would precipitate a rumpus that
might delay consideration of other
administration measures which
must get through,” King related.

Drowned June 30 Found
Hungry but Safe
JUNEAU, 13*1—Dazed and hun
gry but in “surprisingly good
shape,’’ Clarence Olson was found
on the beach at Snettisham Inlet
Thursday near the spot where he
was believed to have perished
when his fishing boat burned on
June 30.
The Petersburg fisherman was
found by the crew of the fishing
boat Oslo. He was dazed and
could not recall his own name
until given some milk and hot

Brought to Petersburg in a

eaten in the more than three
weeks he was in the wilderness.
Doctors who examined him said,
however, he must have had some
food to sustain him.
