H - Mr. McFall (via S/S)
Senator Benton telephoned the Secretary today and
said he had written a eulogistic speech about the Secretary,
which had been written for some time, and not delivered
because the Senator thought it would get greater publicity
if could come as an answer to some specific attack on the
Secretary. He asked that the Department let him know at
any time they thought a good opportunity had arisen or
was about to arise.
Penhaps the fortheoming debate on the air by Burleson
and Bentson of Texas, calling for the Secretary's resignation,
which you mentioned at the 9:30 meeting, might be the
kick-off point for Senator Benton.
