...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. Lovable ones, however, and politicians. Rabbits have been cornered in hollow logs in Patman's district. And snuff (between lower lip and teeth, perhaps Levi Garett's, perhaps someones else) is not uncommon. Some of we wage earning Texans view Ambassador Mellon's "Big Business War Et al," not with alarm but with interest. Politically ambitious Texans tread lightly on the subject until after the vote...

After your statement about the people of Cass County being hillbillies who corner their rabbits in hollow logs and take Levi Garett snuff (between their lower lip and teeth) with their politics, I would like to suggest that if you have the guts to do so that you come down to Cass County and make some of those statements to some of Hon. Wright Patman's neighbors or any of his many friends all over Texas. If you did it would be a good idea to let your cow and calf together for you wouldn't get back...

This rather personable impeacher, aged 38, comes from Cass County, in the northeastern corner of his State, where hillbillies corner their rabbits in hollow logs and take Levi Garrett snuff (between lower lip and teeth) with their politics. 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...

...latest thriller about her standing hero Lord Peter Wimsey is quite up to snuff, and lengthy enough to last out the most sleepless night. In a little fishing-&-painting community on the Scottish coast everybody knew quarrelsome Campbell and few liked him. When he was found dead near a half-finished painting it looked like an accident, but Lord Peter sniffed blood, proved to the police the picture had been painted after Campbell was dead. Six artists immediately fell under suspicion, but ultimately only one of them got it in the neck, and Authoress Sayers intimates that...
