Miller, you see, is a confession
aist. In fact most of his books
are about himself or his friends or
volumes that he has read and en-
joyed. His most recent effort, THE
Henry Miller Reader" edited by
Lawrence Durrell and published by
New Directions, has been made the
choice Of TWO nationally circul-
ated book clubs-The Mid-Century
and Marlboro. 1t contains excerpts
from his principal works with
chapter forwards submitted by the
author. Durrell's excellent editing
surrmounts the us. Customs so
well that sections of the greatly
discussed Tropics" are included
without fireproofing the entire edi-
ton.
In other words, Miller is an ero-
tic realist. Everything a human
does from the moment of his awak-
ening, through the day to his most
inner dream thoughts at night, are
honestly reported. page after page.
by the former Brooklyn boy who
tired of being a Western Union
employment manager and went to
France solely to write. And that
he did!
So that brings us to The Amaz-
ing and Invariable Beauford De-
Laney". A man of color whose
skin meant nothing to Miller.
Beauford lived in a cold water flat,
had nothing except that beautiful
glow of genius to keep himself
warm. But digress, let me quote
Miller himself:
Logic. our crazy logic dictates
that the environment of the crea-
tive individual must be composed
of all the ugly, painful, discordant
and diseased elements of life. To
prove his genius the artist must
transform these elements into dur
able symbols Of beauty, goodness
and light and truth For a reward,
if he is lucky, expect a monument
to his glory-a hundred years af-
ter his death . he must not hope
to eat anything but offal, nor as
with any living creature
other than beggars and alley cats
above all, he must not ask for |
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1960-01-15

creature comforts, for warmth and
light, for soft music. When such
an individual also happens to have
a dark skin, when in a cosmopoli-
tan city like New York only GER
tain doors are open to him, the
situation becomes even more COM
pick. A poor white artist is a mis-
cradle sight, but a poor black art
ist is apt to be a ridiculous figure
as well. And the better his work
the more cold and Indifferent the
world becomes.
See what I mean?
Yes, Henry Miller is not a con-
formist. He belongs to the UNbeat
generation. Old fashioned now,
perhaps, as Lawrence Clark Powell
University Of California head Ii
such outspoken men of good will
as Rabelais, hands across the CEN
turtles, timeless, Hfegiving, and
free!
Now you can understand why
kindred souls joined me in starting
the Henry Miller Literary Society.
In a long conversation with John
Sherman, literary critic for the
Minneapolis Star and Tribune, we
came to virtually the same conclu-
sion as Powell. Sherman's able
and literate review of the Henry
Miller Reader" just a few Sundays
ago bears this out. It has been
interesting to note that the top
magazines and newspapers are
covering Miller's latest but what
pleases the Society most of all
it got its roots in Minneapolis -
are the many interested people
who correspond with me or Tom
Moore, the Society's secretary.
Our interest, basically, is to see
that Miller's books are sold so we
keep up steady flow of CORES
pOndence on this area alone but
once in a while we do allow our
selves the luxury of pampering our
literary appetite such as the odds
and ends in the paragraphs above.
Run, don't walk to the nearest
bookstore and get The Henry
Miller Reader.

Grand Rapids Negro
Judge Praised In
Newspaper Article

A very interesting article about
Judge John T. Let's of Grand
Rapids, Mich, appeared in the
Grand Rapids Press Sunday, Janu-
airy 8, 1860 edition entitled HE
Hands Out Quiet Justice"
Judge Let's, the first of his race
to be elected to a judicial position
in Michigan, won by a margin OF
5000 votes in the April, 1859 cleo
ton in Grand Rapids. A native
of West Michigan, he was born in
Mecosta, January 20, 1912, and
attended school in Lansing. He re-
ceived a bachelor of arts degree at
Wilbeforce University, Wilbeforce,
Ohio.
He was a commissioned officer
in the army during World War II,
serving in Africa and Italy. He
was wounded in action in Italy and
was discharged in 1916 as a cap
tain. Judge Let's served as a par
ole officer both in Detroit and
Grend Rapids and prior to his
election to the judgeship, was as
sistant county prosecutor in Grand
Rapids.
He received his law degree from
Suffolk university law school in
1851 and passed the Michigan
state bar examination in 1858. He
is a member of the Michigan State
and Grand Rapids Bar Associa-
tons.
When asked if he had any prob
lens during his first six months
on the bench, Judge Let's replied
that it had been wonderful exper-
fence and his acceptance as Judge
had been good. Also asked if the
transition from assistant prosecu-
tor to municipal judge had created
problems, the Judge replied that
becoming a judge had merely
slowed down the process of making
decisions.
If the Judge has one regret
about his new position it is that he
has less time to work with young
people. After the war he served
as assistant director of recreation
at Boys Vocational school in Lans-
ing, Mich. and has had a wealth of
experience in such work and he
obviously has enjoyed the associa-
ton.
Judge Let's is married and the
father of two sons.
