To Keep Weller Title
In Docusen Fight
BY the Assoeiofed Press

CHICAGO, June 17.-Ray (Sugar)
Robinson, the Harlem Hurricane,
was 3 to favorite to retain his
world welterweight boxing crown
tonight against his No. l contender,
Bernard Docusen of New Orleans
| in a scheduled 15-round bout in
Comiskey Park.
Promoter Irving Kovin predicted
a turnout of $4,000, with gate re-
ceipts hitting the 100000 mark.
The champions cut will be 371s
per cent. The challenger will re-
ceive 20 per cent.
Robinson, seeking his 33d success
sive triumph, will be shooting for
quick knockout against his 2l-year-
old foe who popped out of nowhere
to become the No. contender A
quick victory would improve Robin
sons chances for a lucrative autumn
match with Middleweight Champion
Tony Zale in New York.
Tonight's bout will be Robinson's
third defense of the crown he won
by defeating Tommy Bell on a de-
cision December co., 1945, in New
York. He stopped Jimmy Doyle in
eight round last June in Cleveland
and on December 10 he knocked out
Chuck Taylor. Doyle died follow
ing the knockout.
Robinson and Docusen have had
only one foe in common. He Is
Norman Rubio, whom Robinson de-
feated in 10 rounds in 1916. A few
months later Docusen won an eight
rounder from Rubio.
Docusen has scored A victories,
fought four draws and lost two in
so professional fights. He reversed
the two he lost, the last being an
exchange of decisions with Gene
Burton of Chicago.
After dropping close decision to
Burton in Los Angeles, the New
Orleans Filipino swiftly won an
encore from Burton in New York.
Docusen has scored only II knock
outs in his so professional battles,
indicating his weak hitting ability
However, the New Orleans lad said
he hoped to "stay in close" to the
champion.
Robinson, at 27, is six years older
than the challenger.

On the Record
Senator Vandenberg's Speech Called
Highest Point of G. O. P. Campaign

paign was reached by Senator Van
denberg in his speech on Monday.
It had the noble Ciceronian quality
BETTING an elder statesman. I sus-
pect that Senator Vandenberg
writes his own rather rare speeches
because they always display that
strict unity Of content and style
that hardly is achieved by carpen-
tering together the memoranda of
advisers, however gifted and elo-
quent.
Senator vandenberg stood not
only on the platform of reasonable
ideas but also on the ground Of
solid achievement, for he is the man
who resisted pressures within his
own party to drag foreign policy
into the arena Of partisanship. This
contributed most toward the crea-
ton Of a national foreign policy,
without which no nation can sur
vive. 1t is he who most appropri-
ately can put forth the claim that
no potential enemy has anything to
hope for from a change In the
American Government this fall.
1t is upon the rock of interna-
tional dissension that nations other
wise strong have foundered In the
face of foreign foes, as Washington
warned in his farewell address
against factions; as Jefferson real
lied when he quieted a distracted
Nation with the famous first in
augural; as Lincoln reminded, in
the most reconcinng speech ever
to be made in the midst of civil
strife: with malice toward none;
with charity for all = :"
Remarkable for Humility.
Senator Vandenberg's speech was
remarkable for its humility-a quail
ity not too common in our political
campaigns or national life. He
specifically disclaimed exclusive Re-
publican credit for the reorienta-
ton Of our foreign policy. He
truthfully could not make the claim;
he truthfully could rebuke the
President for making an inexact
counterclaim.
The Senator truthfully could say
that whatever the other merits or
dement's Of the 80th Congress, its
record in foreign relations is men,
orable. He truthfully could claim

The Russian high command first
planned to use the Free Germany
Forces which Field Marshall Fried
rich Won Paulus organized as a Rus
sian propaganda tool after the fall
OF Stalingrad and his capture by the
Reds. But these former prisoners
OF war were not considered good ma
terial for use in Germany, particu-
larly from the political angle.
Marshal Won Paulus was regarded
as too old for any active service,
while Gen. Walther Won Seidlitz, the
promoter of the Free Germany idea.

have been purged as unreliable.

ually dwindled to a few loose bat
talions, which were employed as
auxiliary police in the Eastern zone
of Germany. But in its stead a new
army was brought rapidly into
existence.
The great majority of the recruits
were former members of the SIS
and Reichswehr units which had
disintegrated after the collapse of
Germany. They had seen hard
war service for at least two years.
