THE NEGRO AND MUSIC :

The presence in Seattle this week of an outstanding mus
cal aggregation headed by the inmtabe Cab Galloway brings
to mind the role played by coored musicians not only in the
United States but in other countries where they have offered
their presentations
Enough words to make several bulky volumes have been
uttered written the Negro and his musical genius 1t
has been said that without any practice prior to the time of
their attempt group of Negro singers chosen at random
lift their voices in music far harmonious and sweeer than
that of any other racial combination of voices that has pracced
long and faithfully. This gift of vocal well instrumental
expression has been interpreted by many critics racial
dowment provdentiay bestowed upon the Negro population
There ganayng the fact that this gift of musical express
of the counys truly worthwhile contributions to
modern civilization
Some way however that the Negroes tendency to fall back
upon ptua and jazz for escape from the many buetng he
receives detrimental rather than beneficial to his progress
They contend that this emotional escape through musical
dunn places the Negro in state of resignation where he is
tent accept whatever dominant society offers him instead of
forging ahead by of fiery force and determination.
Regardless of viewpoints assumed by phoders of pro and
beliefs relating the Negro all admit that his contrbu
tons the musical field have for his definite place
cultural archives the black mans sptuals the
to his pent-up sorrows let him sing them If the other
hand he chooses bury his burdens in the tempo of jazz who
but the Negro knows best how to pursue such course He
has created these spiuastic well azzy GRANDCHILDREN
they vital to his personality and emotions he alone should
be the sole judge of their USE since he carving his des
tiny with his tools
In the words of Langston Hughes 1--WE build temples
for tomorrow, strong know how and stand top
of the mountain, free within ourselves"

another story blamed the disap'

White Plains Girl

WHITE PLAINS, March IL
G.N.SO of Albert H. Fish,
IS, for the monstrous murder of
1O-year-old Grace Budd, began
here today before Supreme Court
Justice Frederick P. Close. The
watery-eyed little defendant, in
abject terror at the prospect Of
the elecric chair, trembled vio-
lently as he was half carried into
Dressed in impressed, baggy
pants and a shapeless gray coat,
the little Sadiest looked more the
part of a harmless derelict than
the crafty ogre who lured the
little Budd girl from her home
to a deserted country mansion
near here, then hacked her to
pieces to satisfy a strange and
horrible blood lust.
He was still weak from an at
tempt to stab himself to death
with a soupbone in jail.
There was a mob outside the
courthouse two hours before the
trial commenced, but Justice Close
limited attendance to 100.
Assistant District Attorney FL
bert F. Gallagher, former football
star, who is handling the prosecu-
ton, said the State has an IRON
clad case which will be presented
chronologically.
The parents and brother OF the
slain child will be among the first
witnesses called, to tell how Grace
was enticed from her home.
Defense Attorney James Demp'
sey, of Peekskill, assigned by the
court, will call 20 witnesses in an
attempt to disprove the States
identification of the body and to
try to prove Fish insane.
