NEGROES SHOULD
FOSTER own MUSIC
Composer Says Musicians
Should Worry Less About
Classical Music
BY DONALD j. BOYDoN

Cnited Press Staff Correspondent
ST. LOUIS WH-American Negro
musicians should give more atten-
ton to their own rhythmic forms
and worry less about playing
classical music. That's the opin-
ion Of one Of the worlds greatest
Negro composers, W. c. Handy,
who became famous for his EST.
Louis Blues"
Handy, now IA years old, said
other racial groups are using and
exploiting these rhythmic forms.
He feels that men Of all races
can find a common denominator
in song. It Is his conviction that
his own race can make a great
stride in aiding racial understand.
ing by producing its music in
forms which will be sung and loved
by others.
The now nearly-blind musician
who composed four Of the great
est blues songs. "St. Louis Rlues,'
Memphis Blues" "Beale Street
Blue" and Harlem Blues"
calls this a synthetic period OIL
music.
Times Changed
''Song hits now are popularized
a%rtifically by wide advertising,
high pressure song-plugging and
constant repetition by RADIO" he
said.
"Years ago, songs were written
about some place Or period and
endeared themselves to the peo-
pie. A song was written for q
community, and grew to wide pop
ularity by natural means"
Although he has known poverty
and misfortune, Handy thinks that
part of his life had little to do
with the more than 60 blues songs
he composed.
Mostly" he said, II felt that
the styles Of music and the folk
lore Of the era Of the late '90s and
early 1900s should be put into
song. I have always felt that the
misery of those days bore fruit
in song. l have always imagined
that a good bit of that hardship
went into the making of the st
Louis Blues'."
Early Difficulties
Handy ran away from home a
the age of 10 because his father, {
minister, objected to a musica.
career for his son. One day Handy
brought home a guitar, and his
father %sternly ordered him to re
turn to the store and exchange
the "devilish instrument" for q
dictionary. From that day on
Handy has been On his own.
Today he continues to direct the
activities of his New York music

1t was a slow-going perform

The market virtually ignored
British Foreign Secretary Bevin's
suggestion that the United States
redistribute its gold to help world
trade. Avaitions were buoyed by
talk of increased government and
private orders. Some short cover
ing and investment demand again
was based on hopes for a fall up
swing. Wholesale cashing of vet
erans' bonds and soldier state
bonsuses was offset marketwise by
persistent apprehension over the
international economic picture,
the darkening export situation and
fears that the w%age-price spiral
might have eventual repercussions
on domestic business.
