Statehood Vote Expected In Senate Test On Bills
The Senate is expected to vote this afternoon on Statehood, with a test of strength for the House bill reported by Territories Committee chair Beveridge. A pure food bill remains opposed and unlikely to pass this session, while an omnibus claims bill and tariff conference talks loom. Senator Gallinger is ill, but the Merchant Vessel Commission report may be presented today to launch new shipping legislation.
