Lawrence Brooks Hays (August 9, 1898 - October 11, 1981) was an American lawyer and politician who served eight terms as a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives from the State of Arkansas from 1943 to 1959. He was also a president of the Southern Baptist Convention. Hays served as assistant attorney general of Arkansas from 1925 to 1927. He served as a Democratic National committeeman for Arkansas from 1932 to 1939. With the arrival of the New Deal, Hays was appointed as a labor compliance officer for the National Recovery Administration in Arkansas in 1934. He served as assistant to the administrator of resettlement in 1935 and held administrative and legal positions in the Farm Security Administration from 1936 to 1942. Hays ran for the United States House of Representatives and was elected to the Seventy-eighth. Hays was reelected seven times and served from January 3, 1943 - January 3, 1959. Hays served in the Kennedy administration as Assistant Secretary of State for congressional relations in 1961 and as Special Assistant to the President of the United States from late 1961 until February 1964. At eighty-three Brooks Hays was the elder statesman from Arkansas, and was still sought out as a speaker because of is grand stature as a humanitarian and his fame for homespun with and wisdom. He became a national symbol for causes of equal opportunity when he stood against Orval Faubus in the 1958 school desegregation crisis in Little Rock. As a result, he sloe his congressional sear. that loss ended sixteen years of service in Congress, but it also brought to Hays other opportunities for public service, first with the Tennessee Valley Authority and later with the Kennedy administration. Hays also lectured at Rutgers University and the University of Massachusetts. Hays has been counted among the liberals, but history will distinguish his features as a moderate, a man who called for justice and truth with a steady voice and a clear vision. He made politics his parish, which he now surveys with sage humor. Brooks Hays's autobiography reveals a man's lifelong concerns with the relationship between politics and religion, with finding the affinities between law and theology without doing violence to either.
