HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
STATEHOOD RECOMMENDED Rec. 1 p.m. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. The Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Harold M. Ickes, today recommended that Hawaii should be admitted into the Union as the forty-ninth State of America. He said that since 1900 the Hawanans had been governed under a provisional Statehood. They expressed a desire for full Statehood in 1940, in a two to one majority vote, but the implementation of this was held up by the War Department. _ Mr. Ickes added that the Department of the Interior was convinced the people wanted Statehood now, and had demonstrated their eligibility and right for admission into the Union.
