Senate debates withdrawal of public lands and statehood
The Senate voted decisively to allow the President to withdraw public lands pending Congress action. Democrats and three Western Republicans opposed Senator Smoot's motion on unfinished business. Leaders expect a test vote on the withdrawal bill within days as statehood allies push to force a vote on New Mexico and Arizona. Senator Nelson defended conservation with emphasis on present needs and warned against locking resources away, citing Alaska and coal interests. The House approved a coal land surface disposal bill pending presidential signature.
