trust in public office Sen. Tom
Connally told Central Texans at
a banquet in his honor last Wed
nesday night in Temple that
corrections were being made in
the Internal Revenue Depart-
ment and that house cleaning
was a certainty. Indications in
the news since that time are to
the effect that the house clean-
ing is getting under way.
The Senator spoke to about
200 at the Temple Country Club
at a banquet honoring him and
Mrs. Connally. Bryon Skelton of
Temple was toastmaster and the
senator was introduced by Roy
Sanderford of Betlon.
' Senator Connally who was
born at (Eddy and went to Con-
gress from Central Texas in
1916 for 12 years and then to the
Senate said the Texan now at
the head of the Internal Rev-
enue Department was discharg-
ing and disciplining those guilty
of misconduct. The Texan is
.John Dunla formerly of the
Dallas Internal Revenue Depart-
ment. District Judge Bates Cross of

Senator Connally said of the
huge tax bill "I wish we didn't
have to have taxes but we do."
And he explained the safety of
the country depended on them.
As a member of the senate fin-
ance committee he said he par-
ticipated in cutting the tax fiill
by 85000000000.
He talked on the North Atlan-
tic treaty and about cutting non-
military money for it of saving
$1000000000' from that Dill
but not out ot military
items.
There is no war with Russia
looming in the foreseeable fut-
ure the senator said. But he
added "We want to be able- to
look Mr. Russia Mr. Stalin in
the face and say have to it we're
ready to fight."
He said he believed western
Germany which has western
ideas "ought to be allowed to
arm for defense and join the
rest of Western Europe to resist
communism. I am confident it
will come"to pass."
The senator said 'he always
had voted to return the tidelands
to the states and that he would
continue to do so.
He talked on the United Na-
tions which he helpecLio found
and how Korea was its war. He
said a cease fire would bring a
halt to aggression that precipi-
tated -the conflict. "A cease fire
will accomplish the purpose that
inspired the United Nation3 to
its stand."
