Sugar Robinson 0uipoints
 Doeusen in Fifteen Rounds;
 Good Storyof0 One Beefsieak
By cHARLEs CHAMBERLAIN

by CHARLES CHAMBERLAlN
 CHICAGO, June 29.--tR-- Ray Sugar" Robinson's 15-round decis- ion over young Bernie DLcusen to retain his welterweight crown is the story of a steak.
 The machine-like Harlem slug ger starved himself for two days to make the 147 pound weight limit Then after tipping the scales at 146l2 in yesterdays weigh in, he drank quart of beef broth and gnawed through a two pound broiled steak. This was his first solid food in 48 hours of fore ed dehydration to shed four or five pounds.
 That hunk of beef did it. During most of last nights title defense in Comiskey Park against the 21- year-old New Orleans challenger six years his junior, Robinson was 3 blur of power and precision. He had to be to beat the "Dook,' a dead-pan polished little Filipino who made the champion go the route The decision was unanimous. Docusen weighed 1451a.
 In the 11th, Robinson drove his opponent into the ropes, bounded him back to midring and then nailed him for a nine count with a left hook to the chin. It was the first time the youngster had eeen floored in a span of 58 yic- tories in 60 bouts.
 Docusen, however, refused to be the champions 59th knockout vic- lime in remarkable record of 88 wins. He struggled up at the count of nine and stumbled into another .lcious voley. But Robinson was 50 worn down from the furry he couldn't finish him.

Only about 1000 farms, or fifteen

Noting that the soil conservation

Report on Resources
Made to Governor

Specific plans for rehabilitation of
the Maryland oyster industry and the
development of the States forests
and farmlands were made to Govern
or Lane on Saturday after months Of
study by gubernatorial Commission
on Conservation of Natural Re
sources.
Forest Resources
With respect to the conservation of
forest resources, the Commission re-
ported that Maryland was suffering
an annual loss of many millions Of
dollars from its extensive areas of
understocked forests and idle sub
marginal lands.
Favorable growing conditions in
many parts of the State and the great
demand for lumber should make for
astry an increasingly important factor
n the States economic structure, the
commission reported.
There were six specific recon-
mendations for the development and
conservation of forest resources, as
follows:
1. Immediate establishment of for
est conservency districts in counties
not having them.
2. Intensification of the present
program for encouraging private
owners to adopt better management
practices on their forest properties.
8. Early Inauguration of a large
scale program of ree-planting so that
at least half of the States estimated
100000 acres of privately owned sub
marginal land can be reforested with
in a period of twenty years.
4. That such program be based pri-
marily upon obtaining the cooper
alton of the landowners in planting
the trees or paying for the cost of
p anting, the State supplying without
charge both the necessary technical
assistance and the required number
O. Seeding trees.
5. Appropriation of $105,000 to
cover the estimated cost of the first
years operation of the projected tree
planting program and $4,000 for the
second year, and that such funds be
specifically earmarked for reforest-
alton.
6. A sizabe expansion in the an
nual output of the State nursery in
order to meet the needs of the plant
ing program, as we'll as other de-
mands for tree stock.
Careless and destructive utilization
of Maryland forests have contributed
materially to farm soil erosion, the
unstable flow Of surface water sup
plies and to continuing serious decline
Of underground water supplies.
Agricultural Soils
Reporting on the States agricultur-
al soils, the commission said there
