Tennis Throne
~ fhs Associated Press


NEW YORK, April s.-The sus-
pension Of Tennis Champion Pauline
Betz by the q. s. Lawn Tennis
Association means, among other
things, that there will be a feminine
battle royal at Forest Hill late in
August such as hasn't been seen
there in some years.
Miss Betz, who with Mrs. Sarah
Palfrey Cooke was removed from
the amateur ranks yesterday because
Of q projected tour Of the pair as
professionals, had come to dominate
the women's division almost as
thoroughly as Alice Marble did just
before her, but there has been a
terrific scrap for second place.
Four girls, three OF them from
the West Coast and one from Flor
ida, must be figured In the running
for the crown snatched from Pau
lines blond head by the tennis
moguls. AS the Executive Commit
tee Of the Tennis Association, which
could hear an appeal by Miss Betz,
will not meet until September, there
is no possibility of her defending
the title.
Louise Brough, Margaret Osborne
and Mrs. Dorothy Canning Todd,
all Californians, and Doris Hart OF
Miami from the contending quartet
Any one Of them could take the title,
and there always is a possibility
that a flaming newcomer or two
might project themselves into the
scramble.
Miss Hart reached the champion
ship final last summer, where she
went down before Miss Betz by
11-9, 6-3. In earlier rounds the
Florida miss had upset Miss Os-
borne and Mrs. Mary Arnold Prem
tiss. Mrs. Todd lost her semif1nal
to Miss Betz after having scored a
surprising 60, 60 win over Miss
Brough in the quarters.

es a Foster Hall Bulletin, a maya
zine containing newly discovered
information about Stephen Foster
and interesting articles about him
and his music.
1t is impossible to do justice
to the life and works of Stephen
Foster in a paper of this length
and with limited research avail
able. A comprehensive study of
his effect on American music, and
more especially on American life,
should include a research devoted
to the lives and works of his con-
temporaries. T ha leads us to
speculate as to what songs Amer
lea would be singing today had it
not been for Stephen Foster.

1864:

There were a few songs pub
lished after Fosters death.
Stephens wife and daughter
were not with him all Of the time
in these last years. Many people
say he deserted them or that she
had to find work to support her
self. 1t is not exactly known why
they were separated or how Jane
occupied herself after this separa-
ton.
Stephen was becoming careless
in his habits, although he was
not the drunkard, that many peo-
pie suspected him of being. He
was a constant drinker, but was
never intoxicated. He was writ
ing songs also during these
years although few of them have
been remembered and enjoyed as
much as his earlier ones.
Foster was living at the Amer
lean Hotel in New York in order
to be closer to his publishers. In
January of 1864 he became i'll
with "ague and fever. Many
people today claim thi S illness
was either tuberculosis or malaria.
One day he tainted and cut him.
self. Upon his discovery he was
taken to Bellevue Hospital. He
died quietly on January 10.
George Cooper was the person
who telegraphed the Foster fam
lily of Stephens d t h. Cooper
wrote the lyrics to several of his
songs.
One of the best loved songs of
Stephen Foster is "Oh. Susanna
We have seen how immensely
popular it was when it was first
written and it is still popular to-
day. 1t was the theme song of the
Forty Miners and of the Republic
ans in 1886.
The first part of the song is
the repetition of one little five
toned pattern, emitting the fourth
and seventh degrees of the scale.
The chorus Utilities a full major
scale, it is still a capped" scale
no seventh here. 1t is interest
ing to note that Foster wrote all
of his songs in the major mode
The rhythm is regular and has a
martial-like swing. The simplicity
of the melody is responsible for
its charm.
The repetition in which it SEEM
ingly would be monotonous is a
vital necessity to It's structure
The harmonic structure is charac-
teristically m ple e, the entire
verse being accommodated by the
tonic and dominant The chorus
begins with the subdominant and
then relapses into the former pat
tern. 1t is written in simple three
part form, AAB.
This is what Otto Gombosi says
about group of songs which
probably includes many of Fost-
er's.
A group of songs written
in this country about the middle
of the Nineteenth Century, shows
a clearly definable and peculiar
fitting background to a clearly
distinguishable group of folk
songs. The same harmonic struc-
ture or better, the same bass. had
been given to many tunes by some
of the best English composers as
far back as the middle of the six
teenth Century.
Yet we know that Stephen Fos-
ter was not influenced by foreign
elements.
To receive the fullest enjoyment
| from oh, Susanna" one must
notice the words. They have the

In 1858 Foster managed a new
contract with Firth, Pond & Co.
increasing his royalty on future
songs to ten percent. He gave all
his songs, with one exception to
Firth, Pond & CO. for publication
from August 1851 to 1860.
Not all of Stephen Fosters
works are folk songs and ballads.
He published in 1854 a volume
entitled 1.-The Social Orchestra
and also veral instrumental
pieces. THE Social Orchestra" is
comprised of instrumental ar
engagements of popular songs, op-
cratic arias, and instrumental
works. Found in this collections
are a "Village Festival Jig" and
"Old Folks Quadrille" by Foster.
He continued writing and among
his works for the later years are:

Buchanan 'Glee Club was a poll
teal organization interested in the
successful campain of James Buch-
anan. Foster was Musical Director
of the Club. Morrison was also
an officer. Stephen wrote several
campaign songs for the club to
sing, THE Abolition Show" and
"The White House Chair"
There have been many legends
stating that Stephen Foster was
always penniless and even far
overdrawn on his future income.
This is not altogether true. In
1857 he prepared a list showing
royalties received to d a tie on
Firth. Pond & Co songs amount
ing to S9,43696 He estimated
these songs would bring S2,7S6.77
in future royalties. Stephen was
drawing ahead on his account now
and had been borrowing money
for several years from Morrison
and Brother William. In 1860 the
publishing company for while
refused to draft Stephen more
money until it received m Or e
songs.

Protest Merger Of
Housing Agencies
BY The Assoeiossd Press

The United States Chamber OF
Commerce and the National AS
sociation of Real Estate Boards
spoke out in opposition today te
President Truman's plan to con-
solidate Federal Housing agen-
.cies.
The two organizations submitted
statements to the House Expenditures
Committee, which is considering the
proposal, known as reorganization
plan No. 3. The consolidation viii
become effective next month unless
both House and Senate pass dis
approving legislation.
George w. West of Atlanta
chairman of the committee on con-
struction and civic development
presented the chambers argument
against the plan.
Reorganization plan No. 3 Is the
latest in a series OF attempts by
the executive branch of the Federal
Government to extend its control
into the business of housing the
American people" Mr.. West said.
This trend was clearly apparent
before the war and obtained addi-
tional impetus through the necessity
for channeling the fow of limited
materials and manpower during
hostilities.
Mr.. West said 1t would be unwlse
to give a single administrator con-
troll over the policies of such di-
verse" agencies as the Federal Pub
lie Housing Authority, Federal
Housing Administration, the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board. the
Federal Savings and Loan Insur-
ance Corporation and the Home
Owners Loan Corporation.
Calvin K. Snyder, secretary of the
Realtors Washington Committee OF
the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards, contended no econo-
mics would be effected by the reor-
ganization plan.
Mr.. Snyder instead recommended
enactment of a bill by Representa-
tive Wolcott, Republican, OF Michi-
gan to establish the Federal Loan
Bank Board and the Federal Hous-
ing Administration as independent

A combination of massive streng-
tn and smoothly flowing lines is the
keynote of styling for the new
trucks. They were designed to COM
bine appearance with comfort, safe
ty, performance, economy and ease
of handling.
Front axles have been moved back
and engines have been moved for
ward to place more of the gross We
hicle weight on the front axle and
provide better weight distribution
The wheelbase for conventional
models through the 2-ton has been
reduced eight inches, while the 212
and 3-ton models have been reduced
SIX inches. The new trucks have been
engineered so that despite the short
er wheelbases, the bab-to-axle dim
ensions remain practically unchang-
ed, making it possible to use the
same length bodies as before.
New ease Of handling and driving
has been provided by the shorter
wheelbases and wider tread front
axle, together with cross steering
which is a new feature on all con-
ventional cab models. The o
steering permits a 37-degree turning
angle both right and left. Drivers
now can park Or back into alleys or
up to loading platforms with much
greater ease. Road shock through
the steering wheel is greatly reduc-
ed by the cross steering, which has
the drag link running parallel with
the front axel.
Standard, de luxe and custom cabs
provide more room, more visibility,
more safety, and more comfort for
the driver.
Seat width has been increased to
57A inches to permit three large
men to ride without crowding. The
chair-height seats provide leg sup
port under the knees and can be ad-
justed seven inches. The natural
back support also is adjustable for
maximum comfort.
