Sediiion Sentence

LOUISVILLE. Ky.-The cOnVic-
ton Of Carl Braden on a charge

ed by DR.. NJ. NJ D. Perdue in one
Of the main addresses at the an

Association Of Kentucky Baptlsts.
Many delegates voiced approval

year sentence and $1,000 fine I'M

after he helped a Negro family
obtain a new house in a so-called
white neighborhood.
DR.. Perdue, pastor Of Emman-
uel Baptist church here, launched
his attack during an address on
the state of race relations in the
nation. He declared that the Ku
Klux Khan is now operating I'M
der new guises, such as luncheon
clubs and fraternal organizations.
He also noted a growing unity
between poor white people and
the Negro people, He declared
that poor white people are rea'
hzing more and more that the
aristocrats care no more about
them than they do about the Ne
gro. The poor whites and the
Negroes see that there is no sa,'
walton for them unless they are
united" he said.
DR., Perdue declared that he
will continue to resist Khan ele-
ments who are trying to stop de-
segregation and who are punish
ing white people who work with
Negroes to improve conditions
If that be sedition, make the
most of it," he shouted,
Delegates crowded around DR..
Perdue and Braden after the min
isters address and pledged contin-
ued support in fighting th1 con-
viction of Braden. Some said they
had protested or would protest to
Governor Lawrence Wetherby and
Senator Alben ". Barley.
Braden, his wife, and five other
