Link Hawaii and Alaska statehood effort in Senate vote
The Senate voted 46 to 43 to link Hawaii and Alaska statehood bills. Leader Knowland abandoned hopes for an early combined vote and laid the measures aside for possible action later. Sen. Smathers questioned full support while Anderson argued tying the bills offered any chance to move Alaska statehood through the House. Wisconsin senators Wiley and McCarthy supported the losing side in the amendment.
