Four ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL January 11, 1959 Burroughs' Office Staff Knows Politics By MAURICE TRIMMER SANTA FE (UPI) is it like to work directly for the new governor of New Mexico? 'It's a wonderful experience." "I enjoy having a part in government in helping people." love everything about politics." So say the receptionist and two secretary stenographers who serve in Gov. John Burroughs' office. They are Beatrice Roach Co Gottlieb of Santa Fe, Mrs. Ernestine D. Evans of Santa Fe and Mrs.

Alberta Miller of Albuquerque. Apparently Burroughs and his. trio aide, for Dick their Valdez, professional picked political know-how as well as good looks, office experience and pleasant telephone voices. Youngest in Nation Mrs. Gottlieb, slim brunette receptionist, served two terms as secretary of state, from 1951-55.

She was the youngest secretary of state in the nation at the time of her inauguration. Mrs. Evans went to the legislature in 1940 from Rio Arriba County, the only woman to have ever represented Rio Arriba. Mrs. Miller, who says she "grew up with politics at home in Dodge City, went to work at the "Burroughs for Governor" headquarters in Albuquerque before the primaries and continued in Democratic headquarters throughout the election campaign.

The governor's team has what is known in football circles as "depth." Valdez, Burroughs' quietspeaking, fast-moving right, arm is a native of Las Vegas, which has produced a number of outstanding state politicians. He started working on the governor's campaign 19 months ago, when Burroughs was still considered a political unknown from Portales. Valdez was financial director of the state hospital at Las Vegas when Burroughs asked him to help survey the state to see what his possibilities were of winning the governor's office. Long Working Day His work day during Burroughs' first week as governor has included 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

for talking to visiting citizens and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. for digging away at correspondence and other necessary paper work. Asked how he and Burroughs get along, Valdez said that after the long campaign stretch, "We know each other's temperaments pretty well." Mrs. Gottlieb, whose father, Charles Bassett, is director of the state gasoline tax division, caught the political bug early.

She said it started when, still a teen-ager, she went to work for Second Crash Victim Located Journal Special LAS VEGAS State police discovered Saturday that a second man was apparently in the wrecked jeep in which a Las Vegas man was found dead Friday. Identified as Arthur Tafoya, (36, Las Vegas, he is in St. Anthony's hospital. He suffered head and leg injuries as well as a broken arm. State Patrolman Eddie Apo.

daca said Tafoya had been in the hospital about an hour prior to the time he located the jeep in which Filadelfio Armijo died. This, he said, was apparently 12 hours after the accident. Apodaca said Tafoya apparently left the wrecked jeep about one-half mile north of the Las Vegas city limits and walked to a night club at the city limits where his sister, Mrs. Lala Marquez, was working. She, in turn, took him home and finally to the hospital.

Apodaca said it had been established that Armijo was driving the vehicle when it hit a guard post and plunged to the bottom of Pecos Arroyo.

As office manager at the Burroughs' and later the Democratic headquarters, she waded into the campaign battle, helping set up precinct schools for workers, preparing publicity and distributing party information. A confirmed Democrat, Mrs. said, "you have to be sold on it before you can sell it to the people." The three are housewives as well. Mrs. Gottlieb and Mrs.
