.The Brenham office has been

A person from the Texas Em-

Morris, president of the conser-
vative Defenders of American
Liberties, today announced he
would seek the Republican nom-
ination for the United States Sen-
ate. seat, now held by' Sen.
Ralph Yarborough, D-Tex.
Morris, an avid supporter of
nss?attorney
for former Maj. Gen. Edwin A.
Walker, said "erosions and re-
treats of the last 20 years must
be reversed.”
Morris, chief counsel of the
Senate Internal Security Sub -
committee in 1953-54, moved to
Dallas in I960 to become presi-
dent of the University of Dal-
las He left the school after two
years and became president
and counsel, for the Defenders
of American Liberties.
Morris, 49, was a municipal
court justice in New York City
for two years. He took the post
Jan. 31, 1956.
Critical Year
He said "1964 is a year of crit-
ical importance.
"Those who have had exper-
ience tn political science have
an unusual obligation now
to participate in political activ-
ity," Morris said, "because the
quality and vitality of our na-
tion’s political efforts at this
time will determine whether we
