Senator Grenold Collins had, Sat- urday afternoon, demonstrated him- self apt in acquiring parliamentary technique, when, at a strategic mo- ment he entered a motion to adjourn which' broke up growing conflict over a‘motion by Senator Shattuck to carry the measure in second read- ing until today. Adjournment car- tied the same end result and set the stage for today’s debate. irmish A preliminary skirmish on the bill occurred this forencon when Senator 0. D. Cochran moved for one week's postponement in order to consider the Walker bill in conjunction with a memorial to Congress asking state- hood, which is now in the throes of consideration in the House. His mo- tion carried, then was rescinded Senator Cochran contended that passage of both measures independ- ently would put the Senate in an “inconsistent position.” Shattuck Proposal Asking that the people of Alaska be given cause to “pause and con- sider what they are voting on” when they are given opportunity to ex- press their desires on statehood, Senator Shattuck declared, “Just asking for statehood is not enough.” He stated his belief that the reso- lution should specify what resources and powers are wanted for the Stat —“what we want to get from Ickes. No vote had: been taken on the proposed amendment to Senate Bill 22 by the time the Senate took its hoon recess, to'meet again at 1:30 o’'clock this afternoon.
