Miss Rose Conway, who came to Washington from Kansas City less than three montks ago, has ac- quired the rather impressive title of adm trat assistant in the executive office of the president. The job up, however, to pri- vate secretary. A shy, reserved woman, known affectionately ‘zipper-lip” to her Conway always made it a practice to keep office business strictly within the office. Now that the hush-hush state se- crets pass across her desk, Uncle m can thank his lucky stars for such discretion. Miss Conway did secretarial work in Kansas City for more than 15 years, but she is a newcomer to the national scene. In time, her name probably will become as fa- maliar as the late Miss Marguerite (Missy) LeHand (a ship recently was named for her) and Grace Tully. Both served President Roose- velt. Miss Conway has the same gen- €rul duties and occupies the same desk just vacated by Miss Tully. Just a casual glimpse, however, in- dicates there’s an entirely new per- sonality on the job. Com 1 11 the tall, middle- Tully, Miss Conway is a slight, youthful woman. with onlv ac a touch of gray in her blond, up- swept bobbed hair, She has thin, fine featu and a wise little look in her hazel-colored eyes. In the evenings, ‘when she does not have to work late, she can shed her rimless glasses and her strict- ly business manner, and enter into the spirit of the party. Most of her time now is taken by visiting Mis- souri friends. The home folk really descended on the capital, now that their favorite son is in the White House A heavy working schedule limits Miss Conway's outside activity Add to that the midnight deadline for entertaining dates at the gov- ernment girls' hotel where she lives. The rope goes up on the par- lor at 12 midnight sharp, and the forbidden territory is lightly chris- tened “no man's land.” Miss Conway arises every day at 6:30 2. m. She grabs a cup of coffee in the hotel restaurant and then gets in line for the bus at the load- ing stand across the, street. Yes, this little lady, who soon will be rubbing elbows with the great and near great, is jostled on the bus by $1,440-a-year clerks and early shoppers. ‘Talk about the president and hi official family is a favorite pastim: among most any group in the capi- tal, and Miss Conway often hears interesting remarks. One time a woman on the bus asked her if she had heard the president’s specch JUNEAU HIGH SCHOOL GETS MORE HONORS uperintendent A. B.
