...Congressman-at-large, Henderson, Texas) cordial invitation to you to take toll of your intestinal fortitude and decide whether or not you could withstand a visit to Impeacher Patman's district is untimely. Lacking or not lacking in intestinal fortitude, I am not lacking in my knowledge of Cass County. TIME'S statement is correct. There are hillbillies in Cass County.

In an age of business dinosaurs...

Like many of his neighbors, Congressman Patman is a "hard-shelled" Baptist, frowning upon music, dancing, cards. Two years in the Army made him an ardent American Legionary. A good rabble-rouser, with a quick twangy tongue, he served four years in the Texas Legislature, five years as a local district attorney. Elected to Congress in 1928, he refused to be suppressed...
