Hawaiian Statehood May
Come Early In 1959
WASHINGTON, UP) — State
hood for Hawaii early in 1959
was forecast Thursday by Sen.
Murray (D-Mont), chairman of
the Senate Interior and Insular
Affairs Committee.
“Hawaii, like Alaska, has met
each and all of our historic tests
of readiness for statehood,” Mur
ray said. “I intend to reintro
duce S. 58, the bill I sponsored in
this Congress, statehood for Ha
waii, on the first day of the first
session of the 86th Congress.
This measure would approve the
proposed state constitution for
Hawaii the people drafted and
adopted in 1950 following the
great tradition. s,
I am confident that the Inter
ior and Insular Affairs Commit
tee will act promptly on the
Hawaii statehood bill and "re
port it favorable to the Senate.
With the cooperation of the lead
ership on both sides of the aisle,
which I know will be forthcom
ing, there is every reason to ex
pect that the populous, prosper
ous American territory of Hawaii
will become the 50th state in our
union of states before the calen
dar year 1959 is very far ad
vanced.”
Murray commended Hawaii
Delegate John Burns for “states-1
manship and true public spirited
ness” in letting Alaska go first. I
The senator added he thought
“such statesmanship will bear
fruit early next year by the ad
mission of our 50th sister state.”

Goldfine Reveals
Contacts During
Truman’s Tenure
WASHINGTON, Iff) — Bernard
Goldfine testified Thursday he
was at the White House more of
ten during the Truman admin
istration than since the Eisen
hower administration took over.
Goldfine said he had contacted
John W. Steelman, chief aide to
President Truman, in his efforts
to get a 12-million-dollar Recon
struction Finance Corp. loan for
a proposed garage under the Bos
ton common.
“The result was very good,”
he said, adding that the RFC
gave him a commitment for the
loan although it later fell through.
Goldfine said he had numerous
lunches and dinners with Steel
man at Washington hotels after
it was suggested to him by a
Boston bank stockholder that
Steelman might help him out
with the government loan.
House investigators swung to
Goldfine’s relations with Steel
man in a wrangling phase of the
scheduled final day of quizzing
the Boston millionaire on his re
lations with Sherman Adams, top
assistant to President Eisenhower.
Charges of playing politics,
Goldfine cried “smear, smear,
smear” at a Democrat accuser,
Rep. Peter F. Mack of Illinois.
Rep. Wolverton (NJ), top Re
publican on the subcommittee,
brought in Steelman’s name. He
said Steelman should be ques
tioned about any favors he got
from Goldfine.

Kennedy Asks For
Legislation To Aid
Fishing Industry
WASHINGTON, UP—Sen. John
Kennedy (D-Mass) called Thurs
day for legislation to make the
fishing industry a “healthy, pro
gressive, self-sustaining feature
of the economy.”
A program to put the depressed
ground fishing industries back on
their feet is needed “if the em
ployees, the owners of the ves
sels and the fishing communities
are to survive as important
national assets,” Kennedy said.
His views “were, given in a
statement prepared' for a Sen
ate Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Subcommittee hearing on
fishery bills.
The ground fishery industry,
ailing for 10 years, is facing its
most critical period as a result
of competition with imports, high
operating and living expenses and
decreasing revenues, Kennedy
said.
