Mrs. Roy Peratroyich, president of the Alaska Native sisterhood, be- came the first to steal the show in the present session and set the ven erable territorial senate back on it's heels. Mrs. PeratrOyich was ap- bearing in behalf of the Cochran anti-discriminatiOn bill, identical bill to that introduced by Repre- sentative Anderson from Nome and passed with but four dissenting votes in that body. After giving a potent, neatly worded, learned pie Iure of discrimination against the Indians and other native people, Mrs. PeratroYich said there are three kinds of persons who prac- tice discrimination First, the poli- tician who wants to maintain an inferior minority group so that he can always promise them some thing, second, the Mr. and Mrs. Jones who aren't quite sure Of their social position and who are nice to you on one occasion and can't see you on others, depending on who they are with; third, the great superman who believes in superiority of the white race
 Asked by Senator Allen Shattuck, who spoke against the measure, if she thought the proposed bill would eliminate discrimination, Mrs. Per atroyich replied: Have you elimin- ated larceny or murder by passing a law against it?'
 The galleries and some of he senators gave her a rouslng acclaim as she stepped down. It was the neatest performance of any witness yet to appear before this session, and there were a lew red senatorial ears as she regaIly left the chamber.
