SOUTHEAST MISSOURI
TENANTS win FIGHT
FOR HOMES

CHARLESTON, Mo-, Nov. 19
(ANP)-Tenants in this area will
be able to purchase the homes
which they have been occupying
here, at Wyatt and several neigh
boring communities. The Farm Sc
curity administration at Washing
ton has notified the group of st.
Louisians who have been attempt
ing to buy the Delmo Labor homes
as the colonies are known, that
their bid has been accepted. The
price will be 285,OO0 with a down
payment of $4,000 and the re-
mainder to be paid over a period
of eight years.
The Demo Labor homes were
built by FSA shortly after the
acute labor problems developed in
this area some six or eight years
ago. There were several colonies
consisting of from 40 to so homes,
with community facilities, water
and land for community gardening.
Some of the colonies housed white
tenants and others colored. Fam
lilies could live in the homes at a
small rental, selling their labor to
nearby planters at a daily wage in
stead of living in inferior houses
provided on the plantation and op-
Grating on a sharecropper basis.

ed the operation and funds of the

Farm Security administration,
passing a law that it might not en-
gage in cooperative enterprises and
ordering that projects of this type
throughout the country to be sold,
the action threatened to force the
tenants back on the plantations.
A group of St. Louis people came
to their aid and made bid for the
properties intending to resell them
to the tenants. Their bid was
turned down so additional funds
were sought. The episcopal diocese
of Missouri gave $1,000; Marshall
Field III gave $12,5O0 and Alfred
Lewis of New York gave $4,000.
There are $40 homes which will
be sold to the occupants at an av-
erage price of $500 with a down
payment of $100, the remainder to
be paid at the rate of $3.50 per
month.

NE6R0 WRITING MUST BECOME
FORCE FOR TRANSFORMING
AMERICAN VALUE
BY Marjorie Greene

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 (ANP).-
The Negro writer has a historical
role to play and Negro writing will
never achieve itself until it achieves
this role-that of forging the val
ues, not only for his own group, but
those by which all Americans must
live, declared Ralph Ellison, bril-
liant young Negro writer in lee
ture to students at Bennington col
lege, Vermont. Ellison, holder of a
1915 Rosenwald Creative Writing
fellowship, was one of a group of
distinguished lecturers invited to
appear at the Vermont college for
it's years series. Others were Elmo
Roper, Fortune opinion analyst,
Supreme Court Justice Owen j..
Roberts, Max Salvardori, Eric
Fromm. and Fred B. Millett.
Ellison, discussing American
Negro Writing-A Problem Of
Communication and Identity" en-
phasized that current Negro writ
ing, in contrast to the depression
accent on communicating a catalog
of wrongs sustained by Negroes in
America, was turning it's concern to
defining the true nature of the Ne
gro personality and Negro culture.
1T is demonstrated in the con-
Germ with psychology, notable in
such works as Native Son, Black
Boy, and, more recently, in Chester
B. Hines If He Hollers Let Him
Go" the young writer stated. 'The
crisis precipitated in Negro life by
the war has been beneficial in that
it has forced upon the Negro writer
the necessity Of more mature and

searching examination of the world.
He is called upon to do no less than
approach American life with a cul-
tural alertness and objectivity,
which is to be obtained by master
ing the most creative concepts and
techniques evolved by Western cul-
ture."
This evolves" Ellison reasons, q
process of pitiless and self
examination through which he can
come to know the complex forms of
Negro culture and personality, and
a use of the Negroes perspective for
making a ruthless criticism of all
that is vicious and shallow in
American society. With this self
examination goes a responsibility:
the Negro writer is called upon to
forge the values, not only for his
own group, but those by which all
Americans must live"
Ellison also lectured to one of
Bennington's literature classes on
BLACK Boy" and Portrait of the
Artist as Young Man-two studies
in Cultural Alienation. A great ad-
mirer of Richard Wright, Ellison
made him the subject of a recent
article in the Antioch Review, when
he wrote "The Blues of Richard
Wright" a critical analysis and de-
fense of Wright's photographed
Black Boy, which received much
favorable comment.
The young writer, who is fast be-
coming one Of the outstanding re-
viewers on the American library
scene. was featured recently by the
New Republic which made his re-
view of Bucklin's Moons Primer for
White Folks the lead article in it's
fall book section. Ellison has at
tained quite bit of recognition as
a short story writer. He is now

Meany Demands Higher Wage Policy To Prevent Postwar Depression

upon customers with empty pock-1 cts, a dangerous depression is bound to result.
 That is why the American Fed eration of Labor now appeals di- rectly to industry and to agricul- ture to support labor's clearly justified case for realistic upward revision of the Little Steel formu- Ia."
 Asked how much wages would have to be increased to bring rates in line with Government estimates of living cost boosts, MT. Meany said II per cent.
 Dr. Emerson P. Schmidt, repre- senting the U. s. Chamber of Com- merce, inquired whether increased pay would not result in higher prices and encourage the black market. MT. Meany replied that increased pay now would enable millions of workers to secure for themselves and their families some of the vital necessities of life that are available and not on the black market and which workers cannot now purchase due to a short pay envelope"
 Most important of a1l," he con- tinued, "an increase now would provide some basis for the in- creased purchasing power we must have after the war if we are go- ing to consume enough here to keep 60 million people working"
 Albert s. Goss, Master of the National Grange, wanted to know how America can compete for for eign markets if wages here, already above foreign pay scales, are raised higher. MT. Meaney pointed out that in normal times Americans consume more than 96 per cent of total national production and that the way to approach the foreign trade problem is not to reduce standards in American, but to help other countries to raise their standards.
 MT. Goss also expressed fear of the inflationary effect of wage in- creases which, he assumed, would add to costs of production and be reflected in higher prices. MT. Meany pointed out that labor pro- ductivity per worker has gone up SO high since the war that 1t is possible to pay higher wages with out increasing the unit cost of pro- duction. He also emphasized that industrial corporations have made such huge war profits that they can afford to pay higher wages with out boosting prices.
