they did before the first Primary.
... or that was certainly true
until the past few days . . . pre
cinct level organization is tight . .
. . and the pamphlets are flowing
like wine . . . Nobody in Raleigh
. . . except the leaders Of each
faction ... is willing to make/a
prediction on the outcome' . . .
However . . . put this down . . .
you should know the winner by
11 o'clock Saturday evening, June

crat) of Wyoming has given the

tee matters would be allowed to
intervene.

honey's amendments for Consti
tutional bars against any subver
sives holding public office in
either of the two new States.
Hearing Reports Issued
Published reports on hearings
on both measures were released,
that of the Alaska bill running
531 pages. Fifty-four witnesses
testified for Statehood and four
against.
Topping the list of communica
tions published in an appendix
was a letter from President Tru
man:
"I know of few better ways
in which we can demonstrate to
the world our deep faith in de
mocracy and the principled of
self-government than by admit
ting Alaska and Hawaii to the
Union a8 the forty-ninth and fif
tieth states." *
Two Bardies Left
After the bills are approved in
committee only two hurdles re
main before enactment:
1. Senate Majority Leader Lu
cas and Democratic^ leadership
could expedite or delay a vote on
the Senate floor.
2. There will be opposition to
passage by some xf the Southern
Democratic bloc, worried over in- j
creasing Western voting strength I
in the Senate.
