Alaskan Statehood Approval Foreseen - Predicts House To Pass Statehood Bill WASHINGTON (IP) — Democratic Leader John W. McCormack (Mass.) predicted today the • House will pass the Alaska statehood bill. But he said “it’s going to be close.” Statehood supporters won a major victory Wednesday in their long campaign to get the 375-mil-lion acre territory finally admitted to the Union. Debate continued today. By a vote of 217 to 172 the House rejected efforts of opponents to kill the Alaska bill by refusing to take it up. Even the most ardent Alaska boosters, including Rep. Leo W. O’Brien (D-N.Y.), author of the bill, said they were surprised by the—unexpectedly- heavy margin’ in their favor. O’Brien was considerably more optimistic than McCormack about quick final passage. “It looks like we’re home free now,” he said. O’Briertf chairman of the House territories subcommittee, said he was not dismayed by delaying tactics of Rep. Howard W. Smith (D-Va.). Smith and other statehood opponents interrupted debate on the bill repeatedly Wednesday by forcing quorum calls. O’Brien said this only had the effect of antagonizing members against the bill. He said if opponents keep it up “they’ll filibuster it right into ultimate victory?” admitted Baby Bridgette Rousseau, Decatur M rs . Eugene Melchi Decattur. Baby Randy Sheets, Wren, Ohio.
