BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Marion Tinsley Bennett, Republican, of Springfield, Missouri, was born in

Buffalo, Missouri, on June 6, 1914. He was educated in the public schools of Buffalo,

Jefferson City, and Springfield, Missouri. He graduated with highest honors from the

Southwest Missouri State College in 1935 with an A.B. Degree. On a fellowship granted

on the basis of exceptional college work on behalf of Washington University, St. Louis,

by Dean Wiley B. Rutledge (later a member of the U.S. Supreme Court), Bennett

attended and graduated from Washington University Law School in 1938 with the

degree, LL.B. Admitted to practice law in state and federal courts, including the U.S.

Supreme Court, Bennett practiced his profession in Springfield.

He was a member of the Greene County and Missouri Bar Associations; Delta

Theta Phi legal fraternity; the American Academy of Political and Social Science; the

Greene County, Missouri, Republican County Committee, 1938-1942; various farm

organizations; and the Christian Church.

Bennett married June Young of Hurley, Missouri, and they had two children: Ann

and William Philip. He volunteered for combat duty in World War II but was rejected;

served as secretary to his father Phil A. Bennett, member of the 77th Congress and

member-elect of the 78th Congress; elected at a special election, January 21, 1934, to fill

vacancy caused by death of Phil A. Bennett; re-elected to 79th Congress on November 7,

1944, and 80th Congress on November 5, 1946. In all three elections, Bennett carried

every county in the Sixth District and received the largest majorities ever cast for a

candidate for state or national office in the district. In the 78th and 89th Congresses, he

was a member of the Committees on Territories, Census, and World War Veterans

Legislation, and co-sponsor of the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 (G.I. Bill)

which went through this committee. In the 80th Congress, he became a member of the
