Hawaii Statehood Backers Press Bid Seek Acceptance In Union This Session HONOLULU (UPI) — Hawaii statehood advocates, spurred .to a fighting pitch by the White House and Sen. William F. Knowland <R-Cali>), today girded themselves for one more big, bold bid for acceptance into the Union this session of Congress. Chief among the plans taking shape was the selection of a new bi-partisan delegation of statehood fighters, headed by Gov. William F. Quinn, to descend on Washington probably early next week. Statehood Commissioner Lorrin P. Thurston said Hawaii's renewed campaign would be based a lot on the guidance and thinking of Knowland. Thurston said the California senator in telephone conversation Wednesday expressed the belief Hawaii this year still could drum up almist the identical support in the senate that Alaska got in her successful drive if a vigorous effort were made during the approximate month of life in the session. "Mr. . Knowland said the enemies of Hawaii statehood are basically the same who opposed Alaska,” Thurston said, “and that once.they found they are outvoted they would quit.” Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial life called conscience.—George ! Washington. ~
