South's Writers Are Said to Use Them
Because They Can Still Recognize One
RALPH McGILL

1t is the consensus Of
critics that Southern novel;
lists have a penchant for
writing about freaks. Flan-
merry O'Connor. whose novel
"The Violent Bear It Away"
is receiving unanimous crit
ical acclaim, even from those
who deplore and obviously
do not understand its char
acters, thinks Southerners
write about freaks because
"they can still recognize one"
The men in gray flannel
suits who, in one dilemma
or another, occupy the pages
of SO many of today's
novels, are likely to be
freaks, too. Miss O'Connor
thinks.
In a discussion Of South
ern writing the young Geor-
gia novelist and short story
writer VINO has attained a
first-rate national reputation
in both fields, analyZes not
merely her own approach
but perhaps that of the

use in order to suggest what

extend beyond mere prob
lens until it touches that
realm of mystery which is
the concern of prophets d.
it is what is left over, after
everything explainable has
been explained, that makes
a story worth writing"
Certainly the stuff of Faulk-
ner is in her belief that in
the South, where most peo-
pie yet believe in the doc
trine Of original sin, the sense
of evil is just strong enough
to make them skeptical about
most modern solutions, no

But the confident tone was no

And the prophet freaks of
Southern literature?
They are not" Miss o.
Connor says, images of the
man in the street. they
are images of the man forced
out to meet the extremes Of
his own nature"
Once this sense Of evil and
Of mystery has evaporated,
the Southern writer's may,
says Miss O'Connor, "be
writing about men in gray
flannel suits and may have
lost their ability to see that
these gentlemen are even
greater freaks than what we
are writing about now"
So much for what the
best young Southern novelist
of our time thinks about her

MADRID CBy Air Mail)-
Spain is the one country in
Western Europe which does
not share fully in the un-
precedented and almost un-
believable prosperity of her
neighbors.
The reason is that no
sooner had Spain emerged
from a civil war which cost
most of her assets than she
was subjected to a boycott by
Western nations.
While billions were being
poured into Western Europe
under various American as
sistance programs, it was
less than 10 years ago that
Washington realized finally
the tremendous strategic i'm
portance of Spain and began
to help her financially and
economically-in exchange
for highly valuable air and
naval bases.
Americas assistance. and
particularly her political sup
port, has put Spain on its
feet. And although progress
is slow. the economic and
social structure here is sound.
After a number of economic
experimentation, dominated
by national pride rather than
economic sanity. the Spanish
government took a sensible
road last year after the
Washington and Paris agree
ments provided her with A.
nancial help from Western
Europe as well as the United
States.
Imitation, as in the rest of
Europe, has been checked.
The Spanish currency, which
was pegged at an unrealistic
price in regard to the dollar
or Swiss franc, has not been
stabilized in accordance with
its real world market value.
This stabilization has forced
the Spanish people to tighten
their belts. Unemployment
has increased; credit has been
frightened and the cost of liv-
ing is creeping up, not spec
tacularly but steadily.
However, to the American
traveller who finds prices high

But to the Spaniard the
cost Of living (in pesetas) is
so high that most heads Of
families are compelled to
seek two jobs to make ends
meet. Women are not en-
couraged to hold jobs because
they are needed at home to
keep house and take care of
children. This may account
partially for the. fact that
there is practically no juve-
nile delinquency in industrial
areas where it might be most
expected.
The tightening of belts.
especially in the industrial
regions, has been a test for
the solidity of GeneraljsSimo

Grated by the checking of

be convinced that freedom Is not
to be feared by any civilized peo-
pie, liberty Is no liability to any
social order.
Applied Democracy Is not de-
structive of the souls of the re-

the children of former masters.
There is no degree of social sal
walton in segregation and no moral
deliverance in discrimination,
Therefore, America can be saved
by the following steps: First, by
using money wisely for the de-
velopment of men and society
Second, by unquestionable loyalty
to the American ideal of freedom
Third, by helping to secure peace
that will spare the Nations the
bloody conflict of an atomic age
Educators must help to train

III. The third task we must
perform in our effort to save our
Nation and make America more
secure, is to labor to purge, purify,
secure and enlarge the soul of
America. We must bring to the
Nation more moral and spiritual
visions and enrich the life Of the
country with more religious devo-
ton for the veal of man and the
glory of God.
Here we must do for America,
what the 9Th Century prophets did
for the soul of the Ancient He
brews. Like Mecah, we must
teach America to do justly; to love
mercy and to walk humbly with
Her God.
We must seize the light Of truth
revealed by Jesus of Nazareth and
use that light, to dispell the dark
ness of ignorance, hate and super

the kingdom Of love and peace,
kingdom that will last when an

and thrones of power have crum-
bled to rise no more.

We must do more than contend
for additional rights( of course
this is important and will remain
a part Of our duty, until all rights
have been achieved). We must
now convert all Of our rights into
weapons Of creative and construc-
tive might. We have not done our
full duty to ourselves and to gen.
erations yet to come, when we
simply contend for rights and re-
fuse to use these new opportuni-
ties acquired, for greater good.
We must do more than contend
for the rights to enjoy a greater
degree Of freedom into the tradi-
tional relationships between white
and colored citizens. l refer to
such relationships as that of seller
to buyer, owner to renter, lender
to borrower. We must move into
new fields and become so prodhc-

between white and colored citizens
will be more and more that be-
tween owners and owners, sellers
and sellers, lenders and lenders
and captains and captains of in

sition and in the light of the
growth that has been made in race
relations during the past six years
we must select the methods of
protest which are the most pro-
ductive, and are the most con-

izens are now agreed that the con-

are agreed that, any form of dis

il secure against al it's enemies,
Foreign and domestic:

/. First, Negroes must continue
to be first class citizens, irrespec-
tive of what others may think OF
them, or do against them. Who is
a first class citizen you may ask.
I answer, he who gives the best In
thought, in character, in attitudes
and in his patriotic duty, which
includes living and if need be dying
for America. We need not, and
must not wait until we are fully
appreciated as first class before we
become such from within. A peo-
pie may be first class citizens in
spite of the course of hell itself.
Inferior treatment by others must
not drive us to think inferior
thoughts and to live inferior lives
and to become second class, or in
ferior citizens.
While we must admit that many
of us, as is true of the other
groups, have not arrived at the
full stature of manhood, there are
thousands of us who have. But
all have the potential to become
as great as any group of citizens
in these United States.
II. In the next place, we as
people, must take our acquired
racial rights and concert them into
a powerful RACIAL MIGHT, AND
then use this might to help the
Nations cause. Allow me to il
lustrate: Let us use our economic
rights to make an economic might
in the form of savings and loan
associations, banks and other fl
nancial institutions. For in a ma.
ton of free enterprise, no people
can take their rightful place who
do not control a portion of tho
