WASHINGTON, June 16-One of the mysteries of the war effort, even to some of the most observant veterans on the capital scene, has been the many, many contradic- tions in official statements on all most every phase of defense.
 It started as far back as the first gasoline rationing threat on the eastern seaboard, when it involved available tank cars, tankers. gaso- line stocks and consumption, and a good many other statistics that Americans have prided themselves cn having so accurately at their fingertips that any sophomore econ cmist or engineering student could add them up and get the right answer.

 MIDDLEWEICHT. FOE OF FAvORITE.
Harlem Negro Has Won I26 Bouts Since Amateur
 Days; $25,OOO House
BY JACK CUDDY

Limited Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 New York, Nov. 6.-CUP)-Ray Robinson, Harlem's unbeaten welter- weight contender, steps out of his class again tongiht to tackle middle weight Vic Dellicurti of New York, who will have a weight advantage of about 10 pounds. Robinson is favored at 5 to l.
 Both are young and strong for this 10 round bout at Madison Square Garden. Robinson is 9, and the squat, dark-haired Italian is 24. But Robinson, @ slender, fast-step- ping Negro, is favored because of brilliant record, his speed and ex- plosive punch.
 Robinson has the most amazing record of any youngster in pugilistic history. He has clicked off 126 straight victories as an amateur and professionally as a pro and 89 as a simon pure. He is so good that he has run out of class opposition in the. l47.pound division, having licked all top-flighters except Cham pion Freddie Cochrane now in the navy, and California Jackie Will son of the army. Hence his invasion of the 160-pound division.
 This is Rays second tilt with a middleweight. A few weeks ago he took the ten-round decision over one Jacob Lamotta at the Garden. La- motta was tough, but he was an awkward operator of the barn-door school. Dellicurti is just as tough, and lot more dangerous. Violent Vic is built close to the ground, and he swings low with his bob and weave as he moves in to launch terrific body barrages of the type that are not at all popular with long -waisted Robinson.
 May be Upset
 Despite the 5-l price against Del licurti and the 7-5 quotation against Vic lasting the distance, several of the "smart-money" boys along 49th street are laying their lettuce on Dellicurti for two major reasons: CD Reports from Robinson's camp indicate that his hands have not recovered completely from the bone bruises suffered in his last bout with Izzy Jannazzo at Philadelphia; and (2) reports from the same train ing spot indicate that Robinson Is suffering from overconfidence, and not been grooming properly for this contest.
 Meanwhile, Dellicurti-conqueror of such middleweight prominents as Georgia Abrams, Cal Cagni and Walter Franklin-has sharpened as- siduously for this brawl, which may be his last as a civilian for the duration. He is in IA and expects to be called soon.
 Promoter Mike Jacobs expects a crowd of l3,000 and a gate of $25,- 900.

NEW HOPE RISES
 FOR ROSE BOWL GAME

New York, November 6. - (UP) - The lifting of military restric- tions on the East- West Shrine foot ball game at San Francisco. JaI- uary 1, gave promise today that Army officials might remove 8 sim liar ban on the New Years Day Rose Bowl contest.
 William M. Coffman, managing director of the Shrine game, said, however, that transportation prob- lems furnished the biggest obstacle to approval of the Rose Bowl classic and might necessitate removal of the game to some location more ac- cessible than Pasadena, Calf.
 Coffman reported that authori- zation of the East West contest. annually sponsored by the Shriners for charitable purposes. was given by Lieutenant General Leslie De- Witt, commanding general of the Fourth Army, San Francisco.
 Probites of the Shrine game, which was shifted to New Orleans last December when the Army caIl- celled the East-West and Rose Bowl football games and the opening ot the Santa Anita Race Track, would be divided between the Shrine Hos- pital for Crippled Children and war relief.
