More stars for the ancient glory
When Alaska’s perennial request of the State has come too early debate in the Senate last month, it seemed once again the refusal of convicts. Although the Truman administration had approved the bill, only 43 senators, six less than a majority in favour of his record. Then, the argument unwound, a trend in favor of the bill was significant.
Northern Democrats, won many Republicans to a quid pro quo: a star for 49 Alaska (stronghold of democracy) would be followed by the Star 50 for Hawaii (the Republicans). The next step was the line until bad in the south-Democrat series. Chargé Illinois’ Paul H. Douglas: Some were afraid of the south, four other senators [ie, Alaska and Hawaii], the voting rights for citizens of political rights legislation. ”
Oklahoma’s Mike Monroney a proposal for a new “Commonwealth”-would be given the status as Alaska and Hawaii virtually all the rights of states with one exception: you can choose any right to vote is not only a U.S. Senator. The Monroney proposal sidetracked the trend towards the State of Alaska. A movement for the return to another study, including the “Commonwealth”-status has been achieved, 45-44.
On the White House, Harry Truman prompt said that the struggle continues until the last dog died. This week, hopes have not been kept alive, if the Senate agreed to vote on a request from Alaska.
