Dead at 38, vEAD at 38 George Gershwin goes to join the company of D distinguished composers; who have died young ,jaMhe neak of their powers. Mendelssohn died at 39. Mozart, Ms body racked with illness, agonizing to compose music Ut Ws patron and to keep his family ia food, died at 35. Franz SdiSbS? wS only 31 when Atropos severed his life-thread. othe? respects the parallel does not hold. For Gershwin lived in apSusTadorned with objete'art His income w reputed to be $250,000 a year; and his estate was re rted at $200,000. Bach, the founder of modern classical SSfc, i Gershwin was the interpreter and crater of music "more modern," managed to pay his bflls fromhis in come as church organmaster, but that was about all. He was r married twice, had twenty children, Gershwin never married Mozart was buried in a pauper's grave. Franz Schubert was so poor in Vienna that he had to subsist on coffee and a roD for lack of money to buy a full meal. Many of his songs ' he'sold for 20 cents apiece, and his estate was appraised at ten dollars at his death. , ,. There! will be many who will lift eyebrows over mention- ' ine Gershwin's name in company with these makers of lm- v-nortal harmonies. To them there abides no permanent art even in the more serious work of the man who rose from tne ghetto of New York, from music lessons at 50 cents apiece taken on a second hand piano, from serving as song plugger (playing new numbers for possible customers) at Remick s, to become composer of popular songs, anopera, a concerto, a rhapsdy, and to win fame and fortune. The durability of his fame is a question. Some see in his work the foundation of a new musical era; others regard it as a passing phase, the expression of bizarre freedom with a somewhat pagan accent, incapable of achieving the immortality of the great com positions of the recognized masters. This much is conceded: he did elevate jazz and synco pated style into higher musical form. His biographer, Isaac Goldberg, said of him: "He is a colossus, with one foot planted in Carnegie hall, and the other in Tin Pan Alley." That was true. There was plenty of Tin Pan Alley,, (descrip tive of the shops where popular songs are marketed) in his music. He began selling song hits, and much of his produc tion was in lyrics for musical comedies. But he did not stop with composition of this character. His opera "Porgy and Bess," which drew on the negro life and music, was a Theatre Guild production. He wrote a Concerto in F for the New York Symphony society, which was performed in Carnegie hall with Walter Damrosch conducting and the composer at the piano. But the composition which labels him is the "Rhapsody in Blue," first performed by Paul Whiteman's orchestra in 1924. Here was a successful attempt to capture the mood and rhythm of jazz music and clothe them in con cert hall dress. The patterns were unconventional, but the public responded appreciatively and the adherents of ortho idoxy in music "unlaced a bit, admitting the Rhapsody had : merit as music The critics were far more liberal than they ;had been with Wagner's breach with tradition. Thereafter George Gershwin became a name and a figure in musical -America, j - ' - " '. ' ' " - t a av J i.av vuxuva ja ut v iwhere he had completed five new picture, "Goldwyn's Follies." Death in Hollywood was ia rather appropriate ending for one whose life had glamorous success, and whose work was most of it set to the key of means of opening the gate to glory. Y, Brigandage on the Loose V?VEN the method of getting into war has been changed, Jjj JThere used to be some formalities. Sundering of diplo - matic negotiations was a first step. Mobilization of troops was usually considered came the formal declaration monies get no respect at all. mained at Addis Ababa all declarations go there never was pia; and according to the records they must still be at peace with each other. I " j " In Spain neither Italy nor Germany nor Russia declared any war, although "their officers and men have been busy shooting it out for months. ' So in China the. world will know Japan and China are at war when the fighting starts, not when the diplomats are recalled and the ultimatums succeeded by declaration that a state of war exists. In fact the war has been continuing in China ever since 1931 when Japan invaded Manchuria. The Japanese preserved the polite mask of peaceful relations' the While they were thrusting bayonets at the helpless Chinese: Steadily they have penetrated into North China, with acts ox aggression that if not acts of war are among self-respect tag nations the prelude to war The fact that these amenities are no linger observed is proof of the lawless character of the tunes, of the general breakdown; of orderly government both within and without national boundaries. It is a time when brigandage flourishes, done under, the labels of governments and under the emblems of sovereignity. Brute force bestrides the world. Ahead yawn new centuries of dark ages. I ; Wind Tells the Weather T77EATHER in this valley is simply a matter of wind di- rection. Wind from the north or northwest'in summer ri brings hot weather. Wind from the south or southwest - brings cool weather. In the winter time wind from the north or northeast is cold ; from the south, southeast or southwest mild, bearing clouds and rains. v One gets so he can tell a tne air. n, alter a warm spell, the air feels fresh it means the wind has shifted to the southwest, and is tempered with ocean moisture. On the other hand, when there is a dryness to the air it means a warm spell is on the way. Sultry weather always is of short duration here, ending with cooL cloudy weather. .-.,'.,- :Y. ! :YYYY'-.YY.r:: -A barometer is of some value in giving advance informa tion by revealing air pressure changes. But the weather test is quite as reliable and nearly as quick. Watch the drift of smoke from the paper mill (or the sulphur odor), or the flag on the postoffice building; and you will be able to guess pretty closely on the weather for the next 24 hours. Symphony Under the Skies PORTLAND is presenting in Multnomah stadium a series of symphony concerts this summer.

HENDRICKS When old trails 7-18-37 were new or nil. and ' ingenuity were necessities: Rough seas delayed sailing, and it was the 19th of February when the Lorlot reached Fort Ross at Bodega bay, a Russian possession, where horses and guides were furnished to take Slacnm to Yerba Buena (San Francisco.) On the 2 S th, with Edwards and Young on board, the Loriot sailed from Bodega to San Fran cisco bay. and with Slacum they went on to Monterey, to get the consent of the Mexican governor to drive cattle out ot California, the other men from, Oregon bar ing in the mean time secured work-in a saw mill at Rod era bay at good , wages, pending the 4 neea ror them in driving the cattle. ' A V Gen. Yallejo. Mexican military governor, at Monterey, ruled that he could not give the permit to take out cattle; that it was the prerogative of the clril govern ment, at Santa Barbara. So Young must go to Santa Bar bara, from there to' Santa Cruz, and back to Monterey. The con sent was finally secured, condi tioned upon the pay going to the Mexican government (more like ly into the pockets of" Mexican officials), though the cattle be longed to the Catholic missions. The' cattle were furnished by the Yerba Buena (San Francis co) and the San Jose missions, and days and weeks wore away in getting - the . wild brutes col lected, Edwards wrote ia July: "The last month, what has it been ! Little sleep, much fa tigue, hardly time to eat. mos quitoes, cattle breaking like so many evil spirits, and scattered to the four winds, men ill na tured and.- quarrelling; another month like the past. God avert! Who can .describe it?" S S And yet he was only 0 miles on his way. with 500 miles still between him and the Lee mis sion. August 20 the company reached the mountains at the head of the Sacramento valley, following the trail of the Hud son's Bay company's spring and fall brigades the old California trail. Not on til September 12 was the Rogue River valley gained. (Edwards called it in his diary Chasta valley.) In that valley, in 1835, Gay, Turner and Bailey had been attacked by Rogue In dians and all but killed and they now wanted revenge. With out telling their leaders, Young and Edwards, the three shot an innocent Indian who had come into camp, and shot at an Indian boy accompanying him. The boy escaped, by running. S Attempts at retaliation were certain. Strict guard was neces sary. The first night Edwards rired on a party of five Indians stealing through the woods, and frightened them off. The next day arrows were shot from-each side of the road, several cattle wounded, one- killed. Sept. 18, passing between the banks of the Rogue river, arrows were show ered upon men an cattle from both sides. Further on the In dians were driven off, but 'Gay was wounded and Young's horse was shot with two arrows. From that point forward. though the road was stUl rough and over toilsome mountains, the condition of the cattle Improved, with abundant grass and water, and the journey ended at the Lee mission the middle of Oc tober. The only written story of the expedition is an unpublished diary of Edwards, in the Ban croft library. Evidently, to him, in retrospective, it was a pro longed horror. He wrote: ". "Short sighted man! Happy that his knowledge is not pros pective, else he would not ad venture upon some of the most ennobling enterprises. Few of our party, perhaps none, would have ventured on the enterprise could they have foreseen all the dlflculties. It boots little to re flect that the future gains will amply compensate for present sufferings. Most of the party cursed the day on which they engaged, and would hardly have exchanged a draught of cool wa ter for their share of the prof its." ' This feeling must have quickly jrtren way to on of satisfaction, tor the Increase soon made them all comparatively rich. The num ber ot cattle that came through was 32, about 200 having been lost on the way, by being stolen or killed - by Indians, drowned, etc., etc The whole valley waa a virgin pasture, and within a few years the early settlers had literaUy "cattle on a thousand hills." their condition changed from one ot dependence upon the Hudson's Bay company to one ot independ ence, comparatively. The cost of the cattle In Cali fornia was 13 a head. The' men who subscribed money to the en terprise wefe apportioned cattle at the rate ot f 7.C7 a head; the earnings of the men who went as drivers at li t day "and found" being paid in the same way; that is, with cattle at the same price. The Hudson's Bay company had loaned cows to the settlers. The company let them keep the cows in return for California cat tle, young er old. Thus set tlers got cows worth $50 to 1200 each for 27.(7 a head, and those of them who went for the cat tle got theirs for their work. Without P. L. Edwards, the cattle enterprise would not have bees ' successful. Neither, per haps, weald it have been a suc cess without Swing Young. It wouia not have been undertaken1 without Young. Ha was the only one well acquainted la Califor nia, and familiar enough to know the possibility of getting cattle at aU from there. As already Intimated, the cat tle belonged to the old California Catholic missions, and ther were really stolen from them. This was done perhaps with excuses, but It would have amounted to the same thing on some other pretext- bare raced theft. 1 Cooling Off : 2 rrA S ' " la " ' 1 m ' 1 r Interpreting the News By MARK SULLIVAN 1 WASHINGTON, July 17 The consequences of Senator Robin son's i death will be Tery, very far-reaching, and will last a long time.; The fact that on Tuesday afternoon the president's court measure was lost and lost by an action outside of Senator Rob inson's responsibility, by an ac tion in the other chamber of congress, and that the following morning Senator Robinson's heart came to the end of its long strainj "of defending the measure that the tired heart did not really believe in In that there is human drama and 'public im portance. v VI But let that wait: In time. without doubt, much win be said of it4 For the present let us speak: of the man. It is consol ing to be able to say of him dead what I said of him living. Almost exactly two years ago, on July 25, 1935, I wrote about Senator Robinson's position, ad vocating and defending which, it was generally assumed, he did not believe in. I wrote: "Let no one now assume too hastily that Senator Robinson is stultifying himself. He is in a painful position in which he is obliged to allocate his loyalty between his conscience and his daty las senate leader. Every official leader in every congress, from either party, is occasionally faced I by this dilemma. Every such person finds It necessary to make i some compromise with his convictions In order to live up to his official duties . . . Therein lies Senator Robinson's tragedy 'tragedy is the appropriate word ! whenenver a fine, high- minded man is compelled to de cide between official obligation and private conviction. If Mr, Robinson did not have his offi cial position, it he were merely the senator from Arkansas and free . to follow his personal con victions, who can doubt that he would be found standing with such senators as Glass and Byrd and Tydings and George. As things are, acting as the repre sentative of the president in the senate, he finds himself fre quently opposing a majority ot the democrats and usuaUy op posing the best of them and among the best Is where Sena tor Robinson belongs. He finds himself opposing democratic tra ditions and principles, and op posing, I think, the best thought of a majority of the country." At ftha time that was writ ten, in 1035, Senator Robinson was approaching a contest for reelection In his state. Of that I wrote: . "Gossip may Insinuate that Senator Robinson follows the course! he does because he needs the president's help when he comes up for Teelection next year, i But those who know Sen ator Robinson well believe that rather than go counter to his convictions tor the sake of per sonal advantage he would infin itely prefer to take himself to a cabin along some stream In the Oxarks, with a gun and a fishing rod and count the world well lost What Senator Robinson did commanded the unqualified re spect ot those who most strongly opposed him and most deeply disapproved the measures lor which he led the tight How ex plain the paradox? Commonly and properly, we esteem the man who. In the conflict between loy alty and conviction, chooses con viction. Senator O'Mahoney of Wyommg, faced by this conflict, followed conviction and thereby did the highest Und of public service, for which he will be long remembered. The '. distinction is that Mr. O'Mahoney Is just one senator, while Senator Robinson was the official senate leader. In Sena tor Robinson's case. the. choice waa not merely bet - een private conviction and loyalty to the president... The conflict. was be tween two manifestations ot con viction. On one side was his private belief: On the other was the obligation inherent in his of ficial position as leader. To Sen ator Robinson, fidelity to of ficial obligation was itself a con viction, and the highest one. To live tfp .to his official obligation was his conception of integrity. Different men meet such di lemmas in different ways. Vice President Garner, coming to the point where he could no longer abide some of the president's measures, sought escape by go ing away from Washington. But Mr. Garner -could do that. He had . no official function- except as parliamentary pressing offi cer over the senate. He was not called on to speak in be half of the president's measures, not to discuss them at all. Sen ator Robinson could not leave Washington. He had to stay In his official function and bend his back to the, task that finally broke his heart. Radio Programs KSUC StTVpAT 1370 So.

Mr. Ashurst was chair man of the senate judiciary com mittee. He was known to have regarded the president's court proposal, before it waa made, as an idea "ridiculous and absurd." But after the president made it, Mr. Ashurst in his official ca pacity sponsored it. He found refuge In publicity and frankly admitting the inconsistency, be ing light-hearted about it, laugh ing about it, going out of his way to make humorous remarks about it. That, Senator .Robinson could never do. He took things hard. He kept his dilemma to himself. To the strain of his situation was added the strain of silence about it. It was too much. Joe Robinson was a man of the highest character. One is proud to have been fond of him. and not to have let the fondness be modified by the-deepest pos sible disagreement with the things his official function obliged him to ; do.
