Man Prefers
Germany to I. S.

FRANKFURT, Germany. June
20. (ANP)-A 3O-year-old man,
Walter Dawson, from New Or
leans, La, stated last week he
wished to make his home here be-
cause he believes Germany offers
him a better future than his native
Louisiana and pleaded guilty in
an American court to being in
the country illegally.
He related he had remained af-
ter his permit expired because he
wanted to marry a blond German
girl he lived with while in the u.
S. army and legitimatize their
baby. The mother, Elfreide
Schmidt, %, has not obtained a
divorce. from her German hus-
band.
The court sentenced Dawson to
eight months, with five months
suspended, and stipulated that he
return to the United States with

Of the 15-act drama, Charles was
fresh as a steak in a deep freez-
err, but he nursed a mouse under
his left eye. Walcott sported a
lump over his left cheek and
looked every bit his age.
It wasn't the most exciting
fight in all Kingdom, but it. was
a good fight, a championship fight.
1t was the fourth time in boxing
history two Negroes battled for
the heavyweight crown.
The first was in 1889, when the
Brown Bomber defeated John
Henry Lewis. The second was
Walcott's controversial fight with
Joe Louis, December 6, 1947, and
the third was last June 25, when
Louis clipped Walcott's ambitions
and chin in the 18th round.
Apparently unaffected by his
new head gear, Charles told this
writer, 81 didn't take anything
for granted. I wasn't sure who
won until the announcer gave the
judges decision"

Charles Expects to Keep Crown
For Long lime:

In the seventh round the cham
pion reached his zenith. He had
just. been thrown-not knocked
down-to the canvass. Charles
hooked a left to the kisser and
sank a right to the heart. He
staggered Walcott with a one-two
delivery to the jaw and temple.
Walcott's legs grew rubbery.
Charles battered Walcott to a neu-
trail corner and opened up the
heaviest barrage of rights and
lefts o fthe night. Walcott was
stunned. He was swinging wildly.
Charles missed a right to the head,
as the round ended.
When asked later why he didn't
finish Walcott in that round,
Charles said Jersey had more
strength left than appeared from
the ringside." In his dressing
room, Walcott admitted that he
was hurt by a right cross in that
round, but he accused Charles of
being a "sneaky puncher," hitting
unfairly in the clinches.
Again in the 10th round, it
looked as though Charles was go
ing to do a job on Walcott, but
the older mans physical condi-
ton kept him in good standing
with his game heart. Walcott's
mouth was cut on the top left side
and he was drooling blood as he
returned to his corner.
In the 18th Walcott uncorked
his hardest right of the night
across Charles jaw. This gave
Walcott confidence, and in my
judgment he took the round.

Cable Editor of The Star
~ OMINATNG the years
output of books on foreign
~ affairs, are two names
Winston Churchill. the
second volume Of whose World
War III memoirs appeared under
the title Their Finest Hour"
and Joseph Stain, who Is
the subject of three excellent
works which add greatly to the
already voluminous literature on
this enigmatic dictator of half
billion (more or 1ess) persons.
It is trite, of course. to praise
Mr.. Churchills rich prose and the
three-dimensional quality of his
historical perspective, for these
are the trademarks Of his crafts
manship. What can be said, how
ever. probably with no exaggera-
ton, is that he attains his high
est peaks in Their Finest Hour"
and that the subsequent volumes
of his series will fall somewhat
short of the high drama which
volume II contains.
For Mr.. Churchill here has set
down the record-in detail-of
how Britain met the greatest chal-
lenge in its history and held the
fortress for democracy and free
dom against what was-at that
time-the worlds greatest threat
of tyranny and dictatorship.
Three Outstanding Works
On Joseph Stain
Unlike Mr.. Churchill's book the
three works on Stain came not
from the Russian masters pen,
but from the pens Of former as
sociate and two foreign Observers.
The former associate Is Ruth
Fischer, founder of the Austrian
Communist Party and later q
leader of German Communism.
The foreign observers are Isaac
Deutscher. q British journalist
who long has specialized on Rus
sia. and Walter Duranty, noted
correspondent.
Miss Fischer's Stain and Ger
man Communism" as its name
says. deals with the dictatorial
rule of Stain and the Russian
Communist Party over German
Communism and how this tight
control destroyed the German ma
tional character Of that party
and subverted it completely to
MoScow'S will.

Reports" with fairness and forth
rightness which CLOSES over no
inefficiencies and minimizes no
achievements.
Gen. Chennault's WAY of a
Fighter" is more than a wartime
memoir, for he presents a critique
of American policy in China as
well as the record Of his command
over the Fighting Tigers and the
14th AIR Force.
OF the official histories which
came out during the year four re-
quire mention. Coral Sea, Mid
way and Submarine Actions" is
volume Nv of Samuel Eliot Morri-
sons official history of United
States naval operations in World
War II. Battle Report-Victory
in the Pacific" is Capt. Walter
Karig's fifth volume and deals
with the offensive campaign from
Leyte to Tokyo. The first three
volumes of United States Army
in World War II" now are off the
press with "Okinawa: The Last
Battle" the first of the combat
compilations.
The second volume Of "The
Army Air Forces in World War II"
edited by w. F.. Craven and j. L.
Cate deals with the campaigns of
late 1912 and all of 1943.
American Democracy
And World Peace
While this mass of historical an
alysis of World War II continues
many noted Western leaders are
occupied with the problems of
world peace. economic stability,
the fundamentals of our demo-
cratic system and the East West
cold war.
The affirmation of faith in
American democracy which came
this fall from the pen of David E.
Lilienthal, one of the most con-
troversial personalities in Ameri-
can life because of the hot seat
he holds as chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission, made
important reading for not only his
friends, but his enemies as well.
In This I Do Believe" he not
only states what he describes as
IAN American credo." but does
some down to earth thinking
about the atomic bomb in rela-
ton to Russia.
With respect to the atomic
bomb the British Marxist physicist
and publiciSt, p. M. s. Blackett,
presents a much more contro-
versial view in his Fear, War and
the Bomb" which minimizes the
efficiency of the bomb. calls for
moderation of emphasis ON it.
urges development of atomic en-
ergy for peacetime purposes and
