Court Ruling Appealed Frankfort, Ky., December 9— Attorneys for Carl Braden today filed their brief in the Kentucky Court of Appeals challenging his conviction under the Kentucky sedition law. In pressing the attack on the law, Braden’s at torneys said that the main is sue in the case was the prob lem of desegregation and not sedition. “The defendant has been in dicted and convicted not because he attacked the Constitution but because he tried to give mean ing to the equalitarian principles which it embodies,’’ the brief declared. It points out that Braden was given 15 years in prison after he and his wife helped a Negro couple, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Wade IV, to buy a home i n Louisville suburb where no Ne groes had lived before. The house was dynamited in June, 1954, and a grand jury indicated Braden, his wife, and five other white persons who had helped the Wades. The brief was filed by Louis Lusky, designated by the Ameri can Civil Liberties Union to rep resent Braden on appeal, and Robert W. Zollinger, who was Braden’s chief counsel at his trial in Criminal Court at Louis ville last December. Both at torneys are of Louisville. Commenting on the filing of the brief, Patrick Murphy Malin, the ACLU’s executive director in New York City, stated that the ACLU had “asked Lusky to ser ve as co-counsel on appeal be cause of its strong belief that important questions of free speech and due process are raised in test of the state sedition statute." The attorneys emphasize the absence of any proof that-Bra den personally advafatefymdfc tion, pointing out that the trial judge withdrew this Charge from the jury’s consideration because there was no evidence to sup port it The only questions sub mitted to the jury were wheth er Braden had had contact with seditious organizations or had possessed seditious books. The brief contends that it was unconstitutional to let the jury find Braden guilty without proof of wrongful purpose on his part. It says the state and federal constitutions “forbid the imputa tion of guilt by association. A man can be punished only for his own misdeeds.” Lusky and Zollinger object to the admission of evidence of the house purchase, which they said had nothing to do with sedition but probably accounted for the verdict “The sentence in the present case can only have re sulted from the jury’s passionate disapproval of the defendant’s lawful p urchase of the Wade house,” they declare. The also object to evidence a bout the dynamiting of Wade’s home, which they say invited the jury "to punish the defen dant for a bombing he did not cause, simply because the prose cution had been unable to ascer tain who did cause it The brief contends that the Kentucky sedition statute “was not intend ed as a deterrent to peaceable experiment in controversial soci al fields.” It adds: “Integration of the Negro peo ple into the general community is one of the most important difficult problems of the present day. For a long time H '•*» deemed permissible, to enforce segregation of the races by law. Recent decisions of the Supreme Court, however, have withdrawn constitutional sanction from officially enforced segrega tion in one field after anotehr. This has given the people of local communities the opportuni ty, and imposed on them the responsibility, for devising their own solutions for race problems within the framework of demo cratic processes. “It is right and wholesome that private persons, white as well as colored, should take an interest in this vitally important problem. It is a controversial problem for which no solution of general applicability has yet been found. The best American tradition calls for an experimen tal, trial and errors approach, seeking sound empirical solu tions rather than rigid doctrin aire judgments. Those who think integration should come sooner, and those who think it should come more gradually or not at all, should be allowed to expound | their opposing views and try them out in practiee, all without offi cial intervention except for the protection of legal rights of per son and property. “Much as we may dislike those who hold up the mirror to the community and remind us that our ideals of justice and tolerance and equality are not yet fully re alized in actual practice, we must beware the danger of making the way of the critic too hazard ous. If he demands a standard . r\f norfonnn titV*inVi ic nrncont. ly beyond the capacity of the community, his criticism may not be effective. If he adopts il legal methods, his illegal acts should be punished. But if his methods are lawful we must not silence him because we dislike his views. And we must not pun ish him because lawless means are used to oppose him. “The best, and perhaps the only, hope of a sane and whole some solution to such problems as racial integration is to allow peaceful experimentation of the sort the Wades attempted. To {help them attempt it, as the de fendant did, is not a crime.” ; "Lusky and Zollinger also see a threat to freedom of the press in the cross-examination of Braden about a news story he had writ ten. Braden was formerly labor reporter for The Cincinnati En quirer and The Louisville Times. At the time of his conviction he was a copy editor for The Louis ville Courier-Journal and was active in labor and interracial af lairs. "The prosecution invited the jury to convict him because of lack of optimism displayed in a factual report on unemployment in the Louisville area, which he had written as a news service correspondent in 1948,’’ the brief 1. “No evidence was ever of fered to show that the news story j (which certainly did not advocate | criminal syndicalism or sedition) was false in any respect, or that the defendant believed it to be untrue. The court, by ruling that its truth or falsity was imma terial, struck a far-reaching blow I at freedom of the press.” The brief also contends that the indictment was so vague that no adequate defense could be of . ft red; that the court’s instruc ts to the jury failed to define the offenses in any understand able way, and that the terms of ‘he sedition statute are so in definite “that men of common intelligence must guess as to its 'meaning and differ as to its appli cation.” The attorneys are also critical of the prosecutions use of an af fidavit by Braden’s 15-year-old foster daughter, Sonia, to obtain information about books in his home. “The blood runs cold at the thought that, in America, in i The Reason For Belief (Condensed for radio as WHY BELIEVE?, broadcast December 18) Belief, and especially religious belief, requires a kind of effort, even a kind of determination. For there is almost nothing which may be proposed to you to be believed today which may not be contradicted tomorrow. Even the most solemn truth your best friend utters may be contradicted, yet you are committed to believe in your friend, to have confidence in his reliability and his word. Today you are asked to believe in democratic principles; to morrow you will meet someone who shows himself wholly unworthy of the confidence which belief in democratic principles must place in the unselected human being. Today you are asked to believe in the possibility of peace; tomorrow you must read the opinion of a top military strategist that since preventive war is an immoral concept for a democracy, we must use the threat of retaliatory power to deter the enemy from the first blow, although, he argues, it is the first blow that is likely to win. Today you are asked to believe in God, or in the security of moral principle; tomorrow you will see decisions taken in important places that haven’t the slightest relevance to such belief. It is not strange, therefore, to discover in many people a belief against belief, an anti-belief, such as my friend expressed one evening in the middle of a rather hectic pursuit of beliefs in general. “Why do you have to believe something?” he asked. “Why believe any thing at all?—ha, ha, ha!” His explosive laughter punctured the inflated atmosphere of argument and inquiry—probably at about the right time—and his question was exactly the pertinent ques tion. But he seemed to be proposing his laughter as the answer. It seemed to me then that he sat among us as a kind Of friendly Pilate, content to ask, “What is truth?” yet without any urgency or intent to find any other answer than laughter, and it seem ed to me that somewhere in the marginal shadows of the room Jesus of Nazareth stood listening, as it seems to me in fancy he has been listening ever since the walk to Golgotha for some resol ution of the great dilemmas of moral consciousness and human intellect But so difficult is it to be without belief of some kind that to repudiate belief implies another kind of belief. My friend’s question, although he followed it with laughter, implied another question. “Why believe anything at all?” he had asked; and it seemed to me he should then have asked, “Why not just take life as it comes?” This is the anti-belief implied by the repudi ation of all we commonly call belief. Let us admit at once that it has great appeal as an alternative to the effort men and women put into believing, and to the war ring thought and feeling that become engaged in that effort, and to the over-concern of most of us to be right, and proven right, and acknowledged right in what we believe. There is a kind of power drive that seems to creep in and displace the genuine concern for truth in belief in persons and churches and nations, in laymen preachers, professors, scientists, and politicians. By con trast “taking life as it comes” seems peaceable, humble, relaxed, and harmless, downright pleasant, in fact. Yet I am sure that the practicability, and the wisdom, and even the happiness that seem to attach to this view of taking life as it comes are of a speci ous sort, and that it is passively subject to all the ills of anger and dogmatism that afflict the intense and purposeful quest for thines to believe. Consider, for instance, that no one really does—just—take life as it comes. Instead we make plans, perhaps not extensive ones, but plans of some kind. A week ago some people told me they are planning to go to Europe in the late spring. They are not content just to take life as it comes, and wait until then to see whatever vacation notion pops into their minds. My friend plans his work ahead, though he really can’t be sure there will be any ahead at all, or, if there is, whether he will be there in person. I haven’t asked him, but I’ll bet he buys life insurance and participates in some kind of retirement plan. The combina tion of these two kinds of planning has always struck me as one of the funniest things in the world, for it is so revealing of two of our major fears: we’re afraid of dying too soon, and equally afraid of living too long, and with reference to these two fears we aren’t willing at all to take life as it comes. And think of the superior wisdom of repudiating religious or moral belief, but staking your whole unknown future on the value of a dollar. My friend might say that a dollar is, at least, a more down to earth kind of thing than God, and I can see his point, and yet that would be a tremendous assertion to make and to believe. He might say, too, that he only carries insurance and has a re tirement plan because these are conventional things to do. Well, one of the dangers of just taking life as it comes is the danger of falling into conventionality as a way of life. We don’t take life as it comes. We plan, and then try to accommodate planning and the unforeseeable; we prepare, and then try to assimilate preparation and the constant need to im provise in the recurring situations for which we have no DreDar ation. - Moreover, no one CAN — just — take life as it comes. For too much comes, and it comes as a flux of unsorted, uncount able experiences of pain and pleasure and mixture. There is a severe necessity for everyone to select what he will pay attention to and -espond to. When a man leaves his house in the mom ing to go to his work, he has in mind a clear destination and an arrival time that rule his journey from home to work. This means that he cannot stop to watch a bug cross the sidewalk, and he cannot follow the rescue squad when it crosses the inter section ahead of him, and he cannot dawdle in front of store windows or hang around the news bulletins at the radio station. Enough kinds of possible experience can be presented to him be tween home and work that if he followed a free kind of impul sive response and just took life as it came, he might not arrive at work at all, indeed, he might not even get home by nightfall 1 should not want to say that would be bad, for it might not. But if one intends to get to work, then he must get there, and to do it, he must refuse to pay attention to a great many things along he way. That is to say, it is t he man who has -the direction, and not the flux of things. But even without a direction or a destination we have to reach — and most of us do have one — we could not just take life as it comes. Shall I simply give equal attention and con cern to everything that comes my way? I would be limp as a dishrag before the day was half over and an emotional and in tellectual vacuum. No tears or laughter left in me, and no ideas either, and no words to tell my emptiness, even. I should, if I tried just to take life as it comes, be utterly at the mercy of experience which, in its unsorted and unselected occurence has no mercy for me at all. All of us have certain days when signifi cant and demanding experience happens too fast and in too great quantity. All of us have had or will have certain years when this seems to be true, when too many things of too great magni tude for the heart happen and we cannot assimilate them, indeed, cannot really experience them, as fast as they occur. There is the day full of crises large and small, full of meaning and full of absurdity, and forgotten debts to punctuality coming due at the same time, and brand new promises being made to do things we haven’t the faintest notion we will have the time to do. We really can’t just take life as it comes and achieve any coherence in our own lives at all. We might even lose the little we thought we had. fant children can be encouraged or permitted to inform against their parents and foster parents, and unlock the doors of their home to official search,” the brief said. Two searches made of the Bradens’ home after their in dictment are also attacked on I several other grounds. The attor neys stress that books and papers seized elsewhere got mixed with Braden’s books and were intro duced in evidence against him. They ascribe this to carelessness in handling the hundreds of books and papers seized at Braden’s home and at the homes of other defendants in the case. The pro secution charged that Braden was a member of the Communist Par ty. He denied it from the wit ness stand. Mrs. Gladys Starks Mrs. Gladys Starks, age 74 years, of 5825 South 15 St., expired Monday Jan. 2, 1956 at a local hos pital. She was an Omaha resident 42 years and a long time member of Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church.

Myers Brothers Funeral Service. The reason for belief, then, is first that it steadies the man or woman. “If you can’t believe in God,” says one of Edna Millay’s characters, “it is a good thing to believe in Communism. Although I don’t think this is a true alternative, it makes the point well enough that without one kind of major belief some other kind is necessary. There is no simple stream of events which will integrate our lives, and there is no simple stream of responses or free thoughts that will make our lives. coherent. We have got to have a certain minimum predictability of self first of all. When it is asked whether others can depend upon us, we only need to know whether we can d epend upon ourselves. A certain constancy of mood, a kind of prejudiced disposition, a moral and emotional center of gravity is necessary to each of us. That is why they put those foolish signs up in business places for the employees to see: Keep Smiling and Think. Now it would be a ludicrous office and a ludicrous world if everybody just smiled all the time. What an expressionless condition it would finally become. Imagine falling through a glass partition or slip ping poison in the boss’ coffee and never faltering in your smile. It would be just as ludicrous and gruesome a place if everybody thought every minute. The most wonderful thoughts might be conceived and no one would ever know the wonder of them —— just the thought. Yet these silly signs are an acknowledgement of our need for a kind of constancy of temper or temperament. William Dawson William H. Dawson, age 5 years son of Mr. and Mrs. Cleo O.

Anniversary Observed At Corinth Baptist The Corinth Baptist Church ob served its First Anniversary Sun day, January 1, 1956, The high lights of the progress that the church made during the year was given at the 11 a.m. service, and the minister delivered a challeng ing sermon. His theme was “On be ing Loyal to Christ.” The congrega tion was encouraged to be loyal to Christ regardless of the the cir cumstances in which they found themselves. In time of victory and in time of defeat, in time of plenty and in time of want, in time of hap piness and in time of sorrow and when the crowd is with you and when the crowd is against you. One member was added to the church at the morning worship. The 3 p.m. service was one of fellowship. The following per sons brought greetings: Rev. Z. W. Williams, Rev. Wm. Prutt, Elder J. Hall Bowers, Rev. J. H. Will iams, Rev. F. C. Williams, Rev. J. C. Wade, Elder McDowell, Atty. Robert Blanchard, Rev. Solomon Jacobs and Mr. George Washing ton. The afternoon service in cluded a feature of the observa tion of the 90th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation which gave the Negroes in America their freedom. The text for the after noon was, “Not By Power Nor By Might But By My Spirit Saith The Lord of Hosts.” Geh. 4.7. The minister admonished his hearers that force, power or might | has ever been able to accomplish freedom and the realization of hu man rights, but man is able to gain freedom only as he exercises the Spirit of God. That was true in the time of Moses, and it was true in'the time of slavery in A merica, and it is true today. It is true in the life of a nation and it is true in the life of an indivi iual. He said that the Spirit of Sod may seem to move slower than the forces of man, but the work of the Spirit is eternal and the forces of man is temporary. Patience and Faith are virtues, but they ire not only virtues they are dy namics that a Christian cannot af ford to be without "If* A Gnat Life!"

"See How They Run'^Next At Director Kendrick Wilson of the Omaha Community Playhouse slated the British farce, “See How They Run,” as the next offering by his little theatre group. “It’s a confusing but amusing show,” Wilson said, “involving mis taken identity, sharp dialogue and even an intoxicated lady in a closet.” The play has been suc cessfully staged abroad and by a number of amateur groups in A merica. Omaha patrons will be seeing it for the first time when it begins its run on February 17th It follows “Dial M for Murder” which opens this Friday, January 6th Casting for “See How They Run” will take pace this Sunday, Janu ary 8th at 2:30 p.m. and on Mon day, January 9th at 7:30 p.m. The show calls for seven men and three women. Most of the play ers are of the “veddy, veddy” Brit ish variety but there are two A mericans and a cockney to round out the comic chatter.
