Bill Jack Bledsoe got 20 years for

The story's no new one. But
there's something new in the way it's
being handled. For southern white
men have come to the defense Of
Bledsoe and the case has become d
symbol Of the fight against landlord
reaction all along the delta.
Bill Jack Bledsoe got 20 years
from Judge w. w. Hood in a speedy
trial here four weeks ago. His uncle,
Curtis Bledsoe, got two years. A
motion for a new trial was denied.
Lynching Threat
Local landlords said Bledsoe was
lucky not to have been strung up.
Lemmie Lee Harrell, one Of the
prosecuting attorneys, told Attorney
J. Ross Mckinney, counsel for Bled-
soc, to "blacken your face and be-
come a Negro if you believe so much
in equal rights and freedom OF
sreech.''
AS matter of fact, the defense
of Bill Bledsoe has found wide
sympathy among the white people
OF Tennessee and all the South. Ever,

Japan launched her great offensive

1922, by which our Interests" In the

The result was 35 years of futile
