CONGRESSMAN SELECTS NEW WASHINGTON AIDE Congressman Robert McClory (R, - 12th 111.) has announced the promotion of Mrs. Eulalia Osby Corbin as his administrative assistant. Mrs. Corbin is the first Negro to receive this recognition under a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Serving formerly as the Congressman's executive secretary, Mrs. Corbin succeeds Donald E. Deuster who has been appointed as a congressional relations officer in the U.S. Department of Transportation. h Mrs. Corbin joined Congressman McClory's Washington staff following his election in 1962. Previously she had served as McC lory's secretary in the Illinois State Senate. Member of a pioneer family from Springfield, Illinois, Mrs. Corbin is well known as a civic and political leader. Her father, the late James Ballard Osby, was elected assistant supervisor of Capital Township (Springfield) and served as an alternate delegate to the 1912 Republican national convention. Her mother was the first woman to register and vote in their precinct, following the ratification of the 19th Amendment, and maintained a perfect voting record in the ensuing forty-two years of her life.

In naming Mrs. Corbin as administrative assistant, the Congressman stated: "Equality of opportunity is not a new road to citizenship, but an extension of rights and privileges based on the Constitution and its Amendments. To deny employment or advancement on the grounds of sex, age, color or creed is not only unAmerican but it exposes <me to the sharpest possible charge of bigotry! By naming this talented Negro American as my Administrative Assistant, I am endeavoring to show the 'power of an idea whose time has come.' We both are grateful to be the media through whom this demonstration is channeled." Congressman McC lory's 12th Congressional district comprises the Cook county area of Barrington and Hanover townships and all of Lake and McHenry counties.
