Uncle Ray Corner

The most popular Negro songs"
were written by white man. His
name was Stephen Foster.
AS a boy in Pittsburgh, Stephen
learned little about music, but
he seldom saw Negroes walking on
the streets of his home city. He
was born in 1926, IS years before
the outbreak of the American Civil
War. In those days there were some
Negroes in Northern parts of the
United States, but not so many
as there are now.
When he was only 6 years old,
Stephen had paid a short visit to
a slave State" With his mother
and an older sister, he had boarded
a steamboat at Pittsburgh, and
had set out on vacation trip.
Down the Ohio River went these
three members of the Foster family.
On the boat were many persons
who were on their way to settle in
Indiana and Illinois. In that same
month of May, 1888, Abraham Lin
coin was taking up his new duties
as postmaster of the village of New
Salem in Illinois.
The boy must have found the
steamboat journey exciting. The
first stop was at little Kentucky
town known as Augusta. where two
of his uncles lived. One of the
uncles was president of "the Au-
gusta Female College"
In Kentucky there were Negro
slaves, and it is likely that Stephen
saw quite number of them. Surely
he had no idea, at that time, of
writing a song called my Old
Kentucky Home" Yet he saw a
little of the State of Kentucky.
Stephen also visited Cincinnati
and Louisville on his vacation trip.
Cincinnati was then the largest
city in Ohio, having a population
of about 10000. 1t had grown be-
cause of the steamboat service
which had been opened 40 years
before.
After being away for six weeks,
the three Fosters went back to
Pittsburgh to join the rest OF the
family. 1t had been a great adven-
ture for Stephen. He was not to
make such long trip again until
after he was 20 years old.
During several years of his boy
hood, however, he spent his time
in schools some distance from Pitts
burgh. He made little progress
in his studies, but his main interest
was in music.

Bone May Quit Senate Soon

BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
Senator Bone, Democrat, OF
Washington indicated today he
would resign within the next few
weeks to take his seat on the Ninth
Federal Circuit Court Of Appeals.
He told reporters that the time of
his departure from Washington still
Is uncertain, depending on the ef-
fectiveness Of treatments on his
injured leg.
I expect to be gone before Con-
gress reconvenes November a." he
said.
President Roosevelt's appoint
ment Of Senator Bone to the Fed
eral judgeship was confirmed by
the Senate several months ago,
and his delay in quitting the Sem
ate to take over the post once was
criticized by Acting Republican
Leader White and others.
His resignation would permit
Washington's Republican Governor
to replace Senator Bone with a
member of his own party to serve
until a successor is chosen on No
vember 7.
Senator Bones reply to his critics
was that he intended to remain
here until doctors have gotten him
into shape for service on the bench
His leg was injured in a fall at
his home four and half years ago.

The spread between Democratic
and Republican registration In 1910
in this area was s,758 in favor OF the
Democrats. Today 1t Is 4,947. This

publicans are hopeful that many Of
the workers, even II they are reg
istered, will either vote Republican
or just neglect to vote.
Because Of the death Of the late
Senator McNary, Republican, who
was the vice presidential candidate
with Willkie in 1910. Oregon is elect
ing two Senators. Wayne L. Morse,
Republican, is pitted against Edgar
w. Smith, Democrat, and Senator
Gordon, Republican appointed to
I'LL the McNary vacancy, Is run

Mr.. Morse defeated Senator Hol-

Is q former dean OF the law school
'of the State University, and more
recently he was a member OF the
War Labor Board. BY some Re-
publicans he is regarded as q New

His victory over Mr.. Holman caused
bitterness. There were threats on
the part Of some Republicans to
cut Mr.. Morse in the election. As
the campaign has progressed, how
ever, the bitterness has been par

victory is confidently predicted.
Senator Gordon Has Edge.
In the other senatorial contest,
Senator Gordon is given the edge,
although Willis Mahoney is con-
sidered tough campaigner, and at
one, time ran close in contest with
Senator McNary. That, however.

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A restricted" report Of the Office
OF War Information which came to
light yesterday predicts that dislo-
cations in civilian life after We day
are likely to be widespread and, in
some quarters, serious"
The survey, assembled three weeks
ago, predicts the end of hostilities
in Europe before or not long after
the end of 1874" but OWL Director
Elmer Davis said it now appears the
date might be more remote"
Mr.. Davis refused to make public
the report, although 1000 copies
have been distributed to persons in
the advertising business. He said
information in it was obtained from
Government agencies on the promise
that the facts would not be made
public. owl officials said portions
of it which have been published are
correct excerpts but may be some
what out of date.
5000, 900 to Change Jobs.
Subsequently, Mr.. Davis issued a
statement saying owl would ask all
the agencies which contributed data
to release owl from the secrecy
pledge. If all consent, owl said,
the document will be made avail
able for publication.
The report cites War Production
Board estimate that about 5000 900
people will be changing jobs in the
year following We day, that sub
stantial portion" will be absorbed in
the reconversion OF industry, but
that "in most cases war job will
continue to be the best job for at
least six months after We day"
Intended to guide advertisers in
planning future campaigns in be-
half of the war effort, the survey
said inflationary pressures would in
crease after VE-day and price con-
trolls accordingly may be continued
for quite some time" The need for
heavy Government borrowing will
continue, it was said.
RatiOning Trends Outlined.
On rationing, the survey gave
these as probable trends following

area that industrial and organized
labor has its greatest strength.
A student of the political situation
closely identified with organized

that whereas Mr.. Roosevelt's labor
support in Portland was rs per cent

group. The State Federation Of
Labor four years ago Endorsed Mr..
Roosevelt for third term. This
year, although a resolution Of Roose-
velt Endorsement was offered, the
federation failed to accept 1t. Taken
as q whole, labor in this State Is
more conservative than in many
others The State has been less
troubled with strikes and workers
