C., THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 1, 1954 Senate Slated To Approve Statehood Bill The Senate was expected to approve statehood for Alaska and Hawaii today for the first time in the 50- year fight to bring the two territories into the Union. Senate Republican Leader Wil liam F. Knowland predicted “easy” passage of the statehood measure. And Sen. George A. Smathers (D- Flar, a leading foe of the bill, con ceded it appeared “fairly certain” to pass. The statehood bill must weather three major tests, however, before a showdown vote is reached, prob ably by nightfall. These are pro posals to give Alaska and Hawaii commonwealth status, let both ter ritories vote to decide whether they want to be state or commonwealths and to send the measure back to the interior committee. COOL TO ALASKA But despite expected favorable Senate action, chances of Hawaii and Alaska becoming the 49th and 50th states this year appeared slim. The House has approved Hawaiian statehood but Republican leaders In the lower chamber are reported to be cool to the Senate plan of in cluding Alaska in the same bill. President Eisenhower -had reques ted statehood fob Hawaii only but Senate Democrats succeeded in tacking • Alaska to the measure. Senate GOP leaders threw their support behind the package bill.
