The Capital got an advance
glimpse last week of a highly

She is Mrs. Iris Bitch Of
Homerville, Ga. a time

State Senate since 1852 and

House of Representatives for
the four preceding years. Mrs.

the homes of her older sisters.
One of these, Mrs. T. H. john

Iris graduated from the
Hagerstown High School,
where she was active in dra-
matics and debating.
During her years in Hagers-
town young Iris used to come
into Washington whenever
possible and sit in the House
or Senate gallery. She also
attended the Inauguration of
Herbert Hoover.
She left the University of
Georgia before getting her
degree in order to marry B. E.

have operated several farms,
a drug firm and a timber
business. Her husband also
is a fertilizer dealer.

he hadn't urged me on. I had
worked very hard for other
candidates in Georgia even
before I was old enough to
vote. In my mind I always
had longed to run for Office.
But I didn't dare express the
idea because I didn't dream
that my husband would find it
acceptable.
Finally in 1948 there was
a legislative seat open and I
said. You know, I wish I
could run He said why don't

In the Georgia Senate she
was one of the leaders behind
a bill which would open the
way to amending the Georgia
State constitution on the sub
ject of segregated schools. The
purpose Of the measure, which
passed with only two dissent

by which Georgia still can re-

schools, even if the Supreme
Court should outlaw Segre-
gated schools. Georgia voters
still must pass on it in o ref
