Rides3 is actually read the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act. At the time it was written both Alaska (Section 304) and Hawaii (Section 305) were territories.
The 1965 amendments to the 1952 act didn’t make any changes to the language of those sections.

MR. JUSTICE BURTON delivered the opinion of the Court.
The question is whether, under the special circumstances of this case, a native-born American citizen who became an Italian citizen in 1940, and lived in Italy with her Italian husband from 1941 to 1945, nevertheless retained her American citizenship.
For the reasons hereinafter stated, we hold that she did not.
The controlling statutes are § 2 of the Citizenship Act of 1907,[1] and §§ 401, 493*493 403 and 104 of its successor, the Nationality Act of 1940.[2]
(2) SEC. 401. A person who is a national of the United States, whether by birth or naturalization, shall lose his nationality by:
(a) Obtaining naturalization in a foreign state, either upon his own application or through the naturalization of a parent having legal custody of such person: . .
