Gen. Clay’s Advice
Seen as a Cause
Of No Statehood
WASH INGTON, I/P—E r n e s t
Gruening, former governor of Al
aska, says President Eisenhower
has failed to keep his 1952 cam
paign pledge to support statehood
for Alaska.
Gruening charges Eisenhower
changed his mind about Alaska
under the influence of “his buddy
and trusted confident, Gen. Lu
cius Clay.”
' In a letter to Rep. Victor L. An
fuso (D-NY>, Gruening said Clay,
since his retirement, has been
chairman of the board of the Con
tinental Can Co. which he says “is
bitterly opposed to statehood.”
The letter was inserted in the
Congressional Record by Anfuso.
In his State of the Union mes
sage in January, Eisenhower said
“I trust progress toward statehood
for Alaska can be made in this
session.”
Gruening’s letter says one of
Continental’s principal customers
is the Alaska canned salmon in
j dustry and the* company is “the
I chief economic interest which
profits by Alaska’s colonialism.”
Gruening was governor of Al
aska from 1939 to 1953. His letter
declared Alaska is “oppressed
economically and discriminated
against as a direct consequence”
of its territorial status.
