Forecast for '50Crop
By the Assoeiotsd Press

A Government forecast on the
size Of next years winter wheat
crop raised the possibility today
that wheat SURPRISES may be in
creased further in 1850.
In it's first forecast. the Agri-
culture Department said yesterday
the 1850 winter wheat crop
which was seeded during the fall
will turn out about 1886. 100000
bushels if weather is normal to
harvest time.
Added to a possible spring wheat
crop of more than 250,OOO,O00
bushels. this would give total
harvest of about 1,130,000,000
bushels, or only 100000 bushels
less than this years crop, the
third largest in the Nations
history.
Because of dwindling export
markets, it appears now that there

Dawson Sets Sights
On Williams Fight;
Decisions Ratford
By Bill Fuchs

FTeQdy DAWSON, WIN Wol d
unanimous decision over Doug
Ratford of New York last night
at Griffith Stadium, now is the
National Boxing Associations out
standing contender for Ike Will
liams' lightweight crown.
But Harry Rudolph, Dawson's
manager, still doesn't believe it
will be an easy job to force Ike
into the open.
Its time the public wised up"
said Rudolph last night. Things
have gotten to a point now that
when fighter gets too good he
just doesn't get a championship
fight. The champs just won't
fight. Joe Louis, Ray Robinson
and Tony Zale would fight any
body. But not this Williams.
"Gene Burton beat him in Chi
cago in a nontitle fight, but Bur-
ton couldn't get shot at the title.
Dawson beat Burton twice and
fought Williams to a draw, but
we haven't been able to get a
title fight"
Hopes to Smoke Williams Out.
Rudolph had a word of praise
for the NBA's sanction of last
nights fight. With that powerful
organization behind him, the good
natused Negro hopes to smoke
Williams out.
The NBA can't make Williams
fight Dawson, but it does require
the champ to defend his title at
least once every six months
against an outstanding con-
tender"
And after tonight" said Col.
Harvey L. Miller, executive secre-
tary Of the NBA, Dawson is up
there practically by himself"
Burton admitted after the fight
his boy was guilty Of low-blowing
Ratford in the 10th round and
apologized to Sammy Aaronson,
Ratford's manager.
That error cost Dawson the
round on the score cards of the
two judges, Charley Buck and
George Fletcher. Referee Charley
Reynolds gave Ratford only the
seventh round, while all three Of
ficials called the first round even.
Dawson Starts Early.
But anyway you looked at it
It was Dawson's fight. He began
left hooking his opponent saw
agely in the first round and began
mixing them up with overland
rights in the third. BY the fourth
he had Ratford's nose red and by
the fifth he had opened his oppo-
nent's' left eye. Ratford took the
seventh round through sheer
aggression.
Dawson weighed 1922 and Rat
ford 14012.
Marshall Clayton. 1861, for
mer all-Army lightweight champ,
looked impressive in outpointing
Chink Williams, 1872, in four
rounds. Roy Hutchins, 1914,
won a four-round technical
knockout over Sammy Cochran,
1876, and Ralph Gonzales, al, de-
cisioned Warren Hudson. 145, in
other fours. Holly Minis, 158, and
Sonny Boy Dunn. 1853, fought to

round semif1na1 over Billy Patter-
son, 14712. of New York.

Jackson says the Soviet delegation
at London pressed insistently for a
definition (which, in our view, had the
effect of declaring certain acts crimes
only when committed by the Nazis."
The Nuremberg arrangements and
the charter of the International Mill

The cost of war is not over when
peace is declared, armies demobilized
and the dead repatriated. It has Just
begun. Long after war bonds have
been retired and all the armaments

paying pensions to the veterans and
their dependents.
The United States is still paying for
wars that happened more than a CEN
tury ago.
The Veterans Administration paid
out $22,440 in pensions last year to
the heirs of 36 veterans of the Mexi-
can War, fought in 1885.
The government paid out $757, ,444
to 7lO living veterans and 81, 1875, 1863
to heirs and dependents of 1000 dead
veterans of the Indian Wars which
started before the Civil War.
The lingering cost of war is shown
by the following breakdown of COM
pensation and pension payments,
made last year by the government:
CIVIL WAR-S94,49l to 40 living.
and S8,924,774 to heirs of 16,323 dead
veterans.
