Alaskans donj't banks Daily News-Miner, and Downtown Building Hit By Fire BULLETIN Fire, which broke out shortly before noon today, raged through a storage shed in the back of Foodland Market No. 2, at Cushman and Gaffney, in downtown Fairbanks.

The fire was brought under control 30 minutes later. A general alarm was turned in and Mutual aid was received from fireman at Slaterville and College and the fire department at Ladd AFB was reported standing by if needed. Twenty minutes after the fire broke out, the flames had not reached the food market but the building was being evacuated of cash registers and equipment. Smoke was filling the market and firemen were working to confine the blaze to the storage shed. Nearby buildings threatened by the fire were the Diner Restaurant, Switzerland Restaurant and Stampede Bar.

A customer passing by, first noticed the fire and notified Jack Teacue, the manager, who called the fire department. According to firemen, boxes placed near an incinerator in the shed ignited, causing the fire. Alaska Statehood Runs Into New Development in Senate Knowland Reveals Parley Between President and Legislative Leaders; Want Hawaii To Foljow Alaska Bill By FRANK W. VA1LLS WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, advocates faced a new threat today to their hopes of concentrating on efforts to push an Alaska admission bill through this ession of Congress.

The new term came as Sen. Knowland, the Senate's Republican leader, disclosed he has advised Sen. Johnson, the Senate's Democratic leader, that unless assurances can be made that consideration of an Hawaii bill will come immediately after action on the Alaska bill, a move undoubtedly will be made to add Hawaii to the Alaska bill. KnowJand said he has long favored statehood for both territories, and that is the position of the Eisenhower administration. He said he had informed Sen.

Johnson of Texas, the senate Democratic leader, that a general survey of opinion has disclosed a feeling that Hawaii statehood should be called up for Senate consideration immediately following action on tha Alaska bill. Johnson, as well as Democratic Delegates Bartlett of Alaska and Burns of Hawaii, declined comment on Knowl'and'a statement. JErnest Gruenins, former Alaska governor, said on the basis of reports of Knowland's statement it was "unfortunate that Sen. Knowland sees fit to threaten to tie the two bills together which he should know is an obvious way of defeating both."
