Last week the U.S. Senate showed rare skill at sleight of hand. In one and the same motion, it passed the Hawaiian-Alaskan statehood bill by an impressive 57-to-28 vote and killed the chances of both territories for this year.

In the second event, the 50-yd. freestyle, Cleveland touched out the opposition in 0:22.3, just two-tenths of a second off the record; in the third event, Oyakawa won the 200-yd. backstroke.

Senate Majority Leader William Knowland, who had failed to hold his Republican colleagues together...
...Dixiecrat-Republican coalition is strong enough to defeat the twin statehood bill, as it now seems, a proposal for Hawaiian statehood alone probably could gain the support necessary for Congressional approval. This is what many Republicans hope, and though such tactics are deplorable, they must be faced for what they are. Statehood for Hawaii should not be held up for partisan reasons, even if it means that Alaska will have to wait for a more hospitable Democratic Congress. A climate favorable for joint admission may not come for a decade...
