Braden Will Speak

Kentucky newspaperman Carl Braden, out of prison on bail, will attack the court which convicted him of bombing a Negro friend's house, in a report on Southern segregation tonight at 8 p.m. in New Lecture Hall.

In 1954 Braden became a controversial figure when he bought a house in a white residential district and then resold it to a Negro war veteran, Andrew Wade. The house was later dynamited by terrorists, and Braden was convicted in court of destroying the house to further his political interests. He was sentenced to 15 years in jail, but is appealing this sentence.
