The house Tuesday voted 218 to 170 to deny statehood to Hawaii and Alaska, apparently dooming hopes of the territories for at least two more years. The house killed the measure by sending it back to an interior-committee pigeonhole. Friends and foes alike conceded that there was little chance of reviving the issue in ths current congress. President Elsenhower hftS railed for statehood for Hawaii but opposed It for Alaska on national security grounds. There was still a possibility that the Insular affairs subcommittee would act on separate measures for each territory, but Chairman Clair Engle Cal.) said the magnitude of the negative vote "raises a serious question" whether such moves would be successful, Received No Help.

Engle said supporters of the combined measure received no help from the house Democratic leadership and met active hostility from Republican Leader Joseph Martin (Mass.) and Assistant Leader Charles Halleck (Ind.) That active opponlllon plus "pawdve opposition" from Speaker Sam Raj hum Tex.) probably "will apply With equal force against separata bills," Engle said. On the rollcall, 105 Democrats and 113 Republicans voted to shelve the combined bill, while voting for it were 107 Democrats and 63 Republicans. Iowans for Ktutehood. Six of Iowa's eight Republican representatives voted in favor of statehood: Paul Cunningham, James Dolliver, Ben Jensen, Karl LeCompte. Fred Schwengel, and Henry Talle.

Against statehood were Representatives H. R. Gross and Charles Hoeven. Last year the senate passed a bill to make Hawaii and Alaska the forty-ninth and fiftieth states, but the measure died In the limine rules committee. The house had approved Hawaii alone, as it had on two prior occasions.

In 3950 the house also approved a separate Alaska measure. Talk of Reds. The most frequent objection posed In two days of debate on the current bill was that neither Hawaii nor Alaska Is contiguous to the U. S. mainland.

Representative Dolliver responded that the issue of equal representation for all states In the snat-was settled when thn Constitution was adopted In 17H7. Local politics in the past has helped keep the territories from statehood. Hawaii, normally Republican, is usually favored by the Republicans in congress, while Alaska, usually Democratic, has the support of PRICE 5 CENTS-r IS to) AUDITORIUM IS DEDICATED TO VETERANS Flags, Music and Words of Praise.

Wifaout Publicity! LONDON, ENGLAND UP) Buckingham Palace said Tuesday night 6-year-old Prince Charles, heir to the throne, is going to school end mingle with other children. A letter to British newspaper from Cmdr. Richard Colville, press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II, asked editors to let the prince go his schoolboy way without too much buildup as a celebrity. With Others. "I am commanded by the queen to say that her majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh have decided that their son has reached the stage when he should take part in more grownup education pursuits with other children," the letter said.

"In consequence, a certain amount of the Duke of Cornwall's instruction will take place outside his home. For example, he will attend classes and will visit museums and other places of interest. The queen trusts, therefore, that his royal highness will be able to enjoy this in the same way as other children can, without the embarrassment of constant publicity. "In this respect, her majesty feels that it Is equally Important that thowt in charne of, or sharing In, the instruc-tion should be spared undue publicity which can seriously Interrupt their normal lives."

S. diplomat on duty in the -London embassy. Aside from boxing lessons, the prince's main exposure to education ha been confined to formal tutoring by a governess In the tradition aristocratic style. Queen Elizabeth herself never went out lo school. From the age of 7 to 18, she received her education from a series of royal tutors.

The Duke of Edinburgh, however, attended some of Britain's best boarding schools as well as other on the European continent. The queen's appeal for privacy for her son found a ready response in the British press. Early editions of the London Daily Mirror devoted the entire front page to the tory. "We applaud this decision. We applaud this sensible outlook on the role of a prince and a king-to-be in this day and age," the Mirror said.
