ALA C|ary's Farewell
BY ISABELLE SHELTON

young people just coming
to Washington make a great
mistake in not paying a call
on their Congressman" says
Miss ALA Clary. long time
personal secretary to the late
House Speaker Sam Rayburn.
Miss Clary. who became al
most as much an institution
around the Capitol as her IA
nous boss, says she has had
a very rich and rewarding
life because she observed this
small amenity.
When she first came to
town from Prosper, Tex, to
work as a typist in the War
Department - a Job she had
obtained through civil service
appointment - she paid q
routine courtesy call on her
representative in Congress,
Sam Rayburn.
When she was quitting to
go home to Texas after a
year c'f was bored tipping file
cards all day"), she again
went to see her Congress-
man, to bid him a courteous
farewell.
He offered her a job as his
secretary, which she has held
up to the present.
mot many boys and girls
go to see their Congressman"
Miss Clary observed. II tell
them they ought to, but they
say, oh, he doesn't care
anything about meeting me-
I tell them they're wrong, the
congressman DO want to
meet them"
Mr. SAM" she recalled,
had a great affection for
young people, and a great de-
sire to set their feet along
solid pathways in their for
NATIVE years.
With her beloved boss
gone, 72-year old Miss Clary
has decided at last to retire,
something "I could have
done ten years ago." she
said.
She and two women friends
will sail from New York on
February IA, on the Greek
ship Olympia for a 50-day
cruise of the Mediterranean,
the Greek Islands and the
Black Sea.
She previously made a trip
around the world, and two
trips to Europe.
On her return to the house
she owns in Falls Church,
Miss Clary said, she plans to
"do just as little as I can,
and have as, much fun as
can doing it."
In the house she has a few
mementos acquired during
long years Of working for Mr..
Rayburn, including two cher
ished photographs of him.
HE wasn't much of a man
for giving presents" she
mused. But he gave me a
good job and a good boss.
That's enough for any one
man."

Secretary Of State Dean
Rusk paid tribute to the
American Negro last night,
in a toast that clearly pleased
its recipient-the visiting
President of the Ivory Coast,
M. Houphouet- -Boigny.
Addressing his honor guest
at a white-tie dinner in the
State Department, Mr.. Rusk
spoke of several bonds be-
tween the United States and
the Ivory Coast.
One, he noted, is the
"many millions" Of American
citizens of West African
descent.
1--WE are not proud of the
way they came here" the
Secretary said, "but we are
proud they are here. We
know much has to be done
before their contribution
reaches full flower. But we
know we would be a poorer
nation if they were not with
us" r
President Houphouet-Bo
ny, in his responding toast,
told Mr.. Rusk: you have
put us at ease" by discussing
the United States racial
problem in the presence of
Africans and citizens of
African descent.
He said he realized what
a problem it is for this coun-
try. "but we have confidence
that you are on the true road,
the road of heart"
The Ivory Coast leader
made his remarks in French
and they were interpreted for
the guests.
U-Shaped Table
! The African President and
his wife dined with the Rusks
In the Benjamin Franklin
Room on the eighth floor.
They sat at a U-shaped
table decorated with yellow
and white carnations.

bright eyes and a beautiful
smile was dressed in a French
designer gown, a floor-length
evening suit of pink silk. She
wore the softly-tailored jack
ct while receiving the guests,
then removed it just before
dinner to reveal a bare
armed overblouse Of pale pink
chiffon heavily encruSted
with brilliants and pearls. A

rings added to her general
look Of radiance.
