Opposition that had appeared to speak with strong voice was forced to a defensive whisper at the close of yesterdays Senate hearing on the Equal Rights issue. Mrs. Roy Peratroyich, Grand President of the Alaska Native Sisterhood, the last speaker to testify. climaxed the hearing by wringing volleying applause from the galleries and Senate floor alike, with a biting condemnation of the super race" attitude.
 Reciting instances of discrimina- tion suffered by herself and friends, she cried out against a condition that forces the finest of her race to associate with white trash
 Answering the oft-voiced ques- ton. will this law eliminate dis elimination Mrs. Peratrovich ad- mitted that it would not; but, she oueried in rebuttal, do your laws against larceny and even murder prevent these crimes? NO law VIII eliminate crimes but, at least, you as legislators, can assert to the world that you recognize the evil of the present situation and speak your intent to help us overcome discrimination, she said.
 Opposition
 Declaring their opposition to the law, unless it is amended, Senators Scott, Whaley, Collins and Shattuck spoke their feelings on the issue during the two hours of discussion; while Senators Walker and Coch- ran held forth in favor of the law.

made to Roy Peratrovich, Grand President of the Alaska Native Bro- therhood. This bill will aggr3vate, rather than allay, the little feel jag that now exists" he stated. Our native cultures have 10 cen turies of white civilization to en- compass in a few decades. I be- lieve that considerable progress has already been made; particularly in the last 50 years, Senator Shat tuck declared.
 ANB President Talks Peratrovich was then asked to the stand by Senator N. R. Walker and, following questions that es- tablished his education, background and right to speak for the Indians, Peratrovich was invited to express his views on the question before the Senate.
 He pointed out that Gov. Ernest Gruening, in his report to the Sec retary of the Interior. as well as in his message to the Legislature, had recognized the existence of dis crimination. He quoted the plank adopted by the Democratic Party at it's Fairbanks convention, which favored action on the natives be- half. Reading the names of the members of the committee that helped to frame that plank, he pointed out that among them were members of the present Senate body.
 "Only an Indian can know how it feels to be discriminated against Peratrovich said. Either you are for discrimination or you are against it" accordingly as you vote on this bill. he added
 Has Amendment
 Declaring that he had an amend- ment to propose to the measure, Senator Frank Whaley read a lengthy prepared address to the assembly; in which he labelled the measure a lawyers dream" and a natural in creating hard feeling between the whites and natives" He stated his flying experience in many parts of Alaska as authority behind the opinion he had reached.
 Declaring himself personally as- sailed" by Senator Whaley in his remarks, Senator o. D. Cochran raised his voice for the bill, offer ing instances of discrimination which came, he declared, from list of similar occurrences in his own knowledge that would occupy the full afternoon to relate AS in his speech on the matter before the House, Senator Cochran made

use of a theatre in Nome as a prime example of an establishment where discrimination is practiced.
 Senator Walker supported Sen- ator Cochran's views, declaring that he knew no instance where a native had died from a broken heart, but adding that he did know of situa- tions where discrimination had forced Indian women into living lives worse than death"
 Scott Talks
 Senator Tolbert Scott, in one of his rare partieipations in debate, spoke from the heart his feeling that the bill. as it stood, would not accomplish the purpose intended. Mixed breeds" he declared, are the source of the trouble. It is they only who wish to associate with the whites. Tt would have been far better had the EskimoS put up signs No Whites Allowed" he said. He stated his belief that the issues was being raised to create political capital for some legislators, and concluded that white women have done their part" in keeping the races distinct; if white men had done as well, there would be no racial feeling in Alaska.
 Liquor Problem
 Speaking from his long experi- ence, among the Eskimo peoples in particular, Senator Grenold Collins furnished sincere and authorita- tive voice in opposition to the bill. He supported Senator Scotts con- tention regarding mixed breeds by citing the well-being of the Eski- mos of St. Lawrence Island, where white men have not worked their evil "Eskimos are not an inferior race" he stated, "but they are an individual race" The pure Eskimos are proud of their origin and are aware that harm comes to them from mixing with whites. It is the mixed breed who is not accepted by either race who causes the trouble. Declaring, T believe in racial pride" and do not think this bill will do other than arouse bitterness, Senator Collins dashed out at the sale of liquor to natives, as the root of trouble
 A motion to report progress, of fered by Senator Walker. was ap- proved, following the testimony of Mrs. Peratrovich, which terminated discussion.
