DR.. CrosSwaith
Defends Negro
Writers in Note

NEW YORK (C) - In a letter
to the New York Post, which has
published a symposium on the
plight of Negro writer's, recently
brought to the limelight of debate
by the publication of Claude Nc
Kay's book, "a Long Way From
Home" Frank R. Crosswaith de-
Tended Negro novelists as follows:
1T seems to me that to expect
Negro writer's to escape complete
ly the baneful influence of Ameri-
can race prejudice with all of its
problems and imaginery- is
to ask the Negro to display char
acteristics unlike normal human
beings. It is an accepted premise
that writers of fiction draw upon
their experiences for material and
inspiration. This being the case,
certainly the social experience of
a white writer is not the social
experience of a Negro writer,
hence their output must not only
differ in form but especially in
substance"

s. c. Valley, lyric tenor, is Gre
ating a great sensation araong the
music patrons of the Northwest.
Coming from Helena, Arkansas,
to Seattle several years ago where
he has been studying for the con-
cert stage, he recently excelled in
a concert given before a highly
appreciative audience at the WV
CA auditorium in Yakima, under
the auspices of the Women's Pro-
gressive Club.
His recitals have drawn the fol-
lowing comments from musical
critics: "Brilliance, power and
charm are shown when he sings
the Lieder of Schubert and Straus.
His Italian numbers reveal his
mastery of the true Bel Canto
style. Great is his Interpretation
of the Negro spirituals. No doubt
being brought up in and around
the old camp meetings and revi-
walls and learning most of them in
the original form gives him the
advantage to render them in the
modern style without losing the
rhythm, pathos and soul which is
so necessary for one to possess in
order to interpret them properly.
His fine choice of repertoire,
the beauty of his voice filled with
inspiration, pathos and soul plus
artistic fitness reveals gifts of
rare possibilities"

Joseph S. Jackson, executive
secretary of the seatsie Urban
League, and Mrs. Jackson return
ed Tuesday night from motor
trip through the East and South.
Mr.. and Mrs. jackson attended
the National Conference Of Social
Work in indianapolis, and the Ma
tional Urban League conference
in Detroit. Later they visited Mr..
Jackson's parents, Rev. and Mrs.
]. s. Jackson in Wilson, N. c., and
Mrs. Jackson's parents. DR.. and
Mrs. w. e. Reid of Portsmouth,
Va, returning by way Of New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago and
st. Paul.
On your trip what impressed
you most ?" Mr.. Jackson was ask
ed by the writer. "The progress
of the Federal Housing Projects
over the country" was his reply.
"In Indianapolis the Government
Housing project win accommodate
s21 families, limited to those with
an income of not less than 5000,
or more than $1,000 a year" Mr..
Jackson was speaking Of the pro
ject as it affected Negroes. ''The
apartment buildings are not over
three or four stories high with in
side courts, Fairgrounds for chill
dren, recreation rooms, auditor
ium, and the apartments have all
modern conveniences. The Hous-
ing Project in New York is near
ing completion, but it is not as
large or as elaborate as the one
in Indianapolis. It is significant
to note that the Government us
ually selects an area in the most
deteriorated section Of the city
and improves the property with
,, these homes"
"Of the many cities you visited
from which did you get the most
inspiration" was the next ques-
ton. The executive replied: 1.-TWO
cities inspired me most, Durham,
N. c., and Chicago. Durham, be-
cause the Negroes there seem to
have worked out splendid sys-
tenn of cooperation, and through
This medium get things DONE They
hold mass meeting once a year
and elect a Citizen's Committee.
This committee handles most of
the major issues concerning the
race. The Negro population in
Durham numbers about 10000 and
they have a number of banks, fire
insurance companies, motion pic
ture theatres, drug and grocery
stores, and many other types OF
businesses. One reason why they
have succeeded is that they have
learned to cooperate as a group.
'In Chicago, it was the individ-
ual initiative that impressed me.
Many Negroes are doing things to
improve themselves-at work on
the kinds and types of jobs that
tend to make them better citizens,
and they are receiving recogni-
ton. Horace Cayton, a former
Seattleite, is a splendid example.
His work at the University of Chi
cago has been continually recog-
nized, and he has been advanced
regularly in his field. Negroes
/, generally seem to be working for
their own advancement, knowing
that this too means the progress
of the race" concluded Mr.. Jack
son.

I Internationally gypped him Of

ward what had happened. 1t was in
the hell-roaring days of Goldheld.
RICE and Larry Sullivan, the famous
crimp, were selling blue sky to all
corners and popping champagne corks
all around town. In the absence Of
the boss, was running the Goidfeld
Tribune.
A story came IN which it was made
clear that one of the most fabulous
Sullivan-Rice promotions was an
eight-foot prospect hole without a
trace Of color in 1t. I was unable to
verify it and threw it away. That
evening I had visit from a ratty
curb broker, quite rich and powerful
now, who, in those days, was doing
minor assignments OF dirty work for
Sullivan and Rice. He asked how
We were going to play that blue Bird

Goldfield went to pot and Rice went
to jail and the world wagged on about

San Francisco, stranger began
humping me on the back and in

for years to buy me a drink. We
had the drink, and finally identified
him as Rice's one-time scavenger and

South America.
You remember that night I came
in and asked you about the blue bird
story?"
"Yes."

Rice slipped me 5000 and said, Go
down to the Tribune Office and grease
that big tramp. Don't let that story
get into the paper I went back to
the office, talked to you and went
back to Rice. He's a tough ombre,' I
said. He laughed at me when I
flashed that 5000 Rice handed me
another 5000 and told me to try again.
I made five or six trips down past
your ONCE, going back to Rice's Office
each time for more money. Finally,
when I had run it up to sl,l5o, I
called it nights work and knocked
of. The next day Rice patted me on
the back for keeping the story out Of
the paper and said 1t was cheap at
