est audience in sports history to
see Louis dethroned.
But television also played havoc
with the crowd and the gate was
only $205,370. Only a few weeks
ago, Featherweights Willie Pep
and Sandy Saddler drew 1852 900
in Yankee Stadium for a fight
that was neither broadcast nor
televised.
Thanks to Louis and to the TV
rights, Charles had a pay day last
night. Today he's no longer an
ersatz champion, but with legiti-
mate recognition and Louis re-
tirement, where does that leave
Ezzard and the fight game? AS
cute and as game as EZ was in
victory, he doesn't figure to COM
mand $4,000 from the TV people
against any foe on the scene at
this time.
Getting away from commercial
ism, a factor in last nights fight
may have been injury to Louis
left hand. Joe's reluctance to use
his right became a major concern
and it was suspected it was in
jured. This was theory that was
exploded Immediately after the
decision, or at least when fact
seekers were permitted to see the
fallen champion.
MY right hand was all right"
Joe explained in his dressing room.
I'm the third round I hurt my
left" Handlers said 1t would be
X-rayed today.
But you gave the impression
that you were fighting Charles
with only one hand-your left"
protested an inquirer. IF your
right was OK, why didn't you
throw it?"
Louis shrugged eloquently.
"Guess it wasn't ready" he said.
Joe had a hundred chances to
tag his smaller foe for keeps. He
took half dozen punches to land
a single blow and he had Ez ready
for the kill many times. But the
36-year-old former champions re-
f1exes were gone. The opening he
saw were gone by the time he
started to swing.
Charles is not to be underrated.
With fine disregard for Louis
and his record, he came forth

Hooper said this compared
with a high of 86.6 for the

Dempsey Picked e.
Because Ex-Champs
'Don'tCome Back
BY the Assoeioted Press

SANTA MONICA, Calf, Sept.
28.-Jack Dempsey says he picked
Ezzard Charles to win the heavy
weight championship fight last
night because 81 know they don't
come back"
The ex-champ, who made a try
at coming back himself and
missed, puffed a cigar and listened
to the Louise Charles fight by radio
in the quiet of his Santa Monica
home.
Eyes, I picked Charles to win
because I know they don't come
back" Dempsey said. Louis
would have licked Charles before
he retired two years ago-but not
noW."
Dempsey said that judging
from radio accounts. he thought
Charles fought a smart fight.
Charles fought in spurts and
played it cautiously" was his COM
ment. You have to do that with
a puncher like joe"
Dempsey recalled his comeback
try when he had Gene Tunney
down, and almost out, in the sew
enth round of their memorable
'long-count" rematch in Chicago
in 1927, a year after Tunney had
lifted the crown in Philadelphia.
THE same thing happened to-
Louis last night that happened to
me in the second Tunney fight,
said Jack. His legs caved in.
He'd been away from the wars too
long and he was too old"

Chinese, Wet Mini
Arms Pact Doubted
BY the Associosed Press

SAIGON, Wet Nam. Indo- China
Aug. 25.-Western diplomatic OBJ
servers here doubt the authentic
ity of a document purported to be
the text of a military pact be-
tween Communist China and the
Ho Chi Mini Wet Mimi regime
The document was published
Wednesday by the French high
commissioners Office here.
These observers find the actual
text does not conform to the Gus
tomary international treaty form.
They suggest that the document
which the French Army claims to
have captured from the Wet
Mini may be a draft of a treaty
or something used by the anti
French guerrillas, for propaganda
purposes in their own zone.
The alleged treaty calls for five
Chinese Communist divisions to
be sent Immediately into Indo-
China in support of the Wet Mimi
troops and an eventual full scale
military backing of a general Of
fensive against the French.
French officials told correspond
ents that they could not guarantees
that the document was the official
text Of the military pact, but they
added that they believed the con-
tents to be essentially correct.

In Firing Of 7 Unionists

DETROIT, Aug. 25.-The Ford

for activities on company property
in a union political campaign is
upheld in labor umpire's ruling.
DR.. Harry Shulman of Yale
University, the umpire, yesterday
found Arthur McPhaul and Max

of company rules.
The company had accused the
two men of improper conduct in
the course of speeches in a Rouge
plant dining hall earlier this year.
DR.. Shulman, umpire under
Ford's contract with the CIO-
United Auto Workers, rejected a
union appeal. The fired men were
accused of attacks on management
in their speeches.
DR.. Shulman said Ford permits
campaigning on its property be-
fore union elections. However, he
said Ford was hardly required to
make its premises available as a
lecture hall for the communication

German Reds Meet to Plot
Opposition to Aiming Of West

German rearmament. He charged
the West with using German youth
as cannon fodder" and placing
them under the command Of
former Hitler generals in prep
aration for war against Russia.
The Russians already have
charged that a German army
based on police and industrial
guard details is forming In West
Germany. West German and
Allied authorities have dismissed
the allegation as being without
foundation.
Allied officials said yesterday
that training camps for the East
German police. who are being
drilled along military lines, have
been increased from IL to so In
less than six months.
The vast expansion OF armed
forces in Eastern Germany indi-
Gates the Russians intend to
build a huge new RED Wehr-
macht," the officials declared.
This East German force has
been trained as q cadre for q
larger German army taking orders
from Russia. they said. The OFF,
cials gave this assessment of de-
velopments:
The dark-uniformed, jack.
booted force could easily be ex-
panded to 100000 men, perhaps
in a matter of weeks, with the
increase in training facilities.
Force of $4,000.
The tightly disciplined officers
and non-coms will be used to train
enlisted personnel just as Hitler
built his Wehrmacht around the
prof Asional Reichswehr.
Already the 50,000-man East
German army gives Soviet Russia
combined Russian German COM
bat force of 100000 men facing
the west in eastern Germany.
New equipment, including late
model tanks and jet planes, are
flowing to the Red army in East
Germany. Some of it may be
intended for the East German
army.
However. no additional Soviet
troops have been sent to Germany

many's Red leaders meet today to
study ways of blocking rearma-
ment of West Germany. AS they
gathered, American High Com
missioner John j. McCloy warned
that Russia appears to be ready
ling the Communist republic as a
base for a future attack on the
West.
East German Chancellor Otto
Grotewohl keynoted the opening
Of the Communist National Con-
gress' two-day session here with
an appeal to West Germans to
resist rearmament on the grounds
that war would devastate all OF
Germany.
West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer has recommended
stronger occupation armies and
authority for German armed
forces to counter rearmament
moves in the East German Soviet
zone.
Mr.. McCloy's warning appeared
in his quarterly report on occu-
patton affairs. The commissioner
declared East Germany was being
lalienated from West Germany and
integrated into Russia's East Eu-
ropean satellite orbit.
Mr.. McCloy declared the Com
muniSt East German Army is
rapidly expanding and called the
remilitarization program in the
Russian occupation zone "one of
the most sinister developments
since the end of the war"
He said the Eastern army has
grown to at least $4,000 men "and
considerable information about
training in heavier weapons has
seeped through to the West"

Colleges Are Advised
Supply Of Engineers
Is Dangerously Low
BY the Asseeiofed Press

Engineers are in dangerously
short supply, the American Society
for Engineering Education said
today.
The organization urged that
more college freshmen study engi-
neering this fall.
In a statement prepared in CO.
operation with the Bureau of
Labor Statistics and the National
Research Council, the society
said:
Serious shortages of engineer
ing personnel in the near future
are now indicated because of the
expected increased need for engi-
neers created by mobilization ac-
tivities."
The statement reflects a great
change since the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) in May 1949
forecast that for "the next few
years" the number of engineering
graduates would greatly exceed
the number Of jobs for them.
On the basis Of that report, the
Veterans Administration had eau
toned CT Bill students against
entering the engineering field in
excessive numbers.
The society said the number of
students in engineering schools
has shrunk below estimates, how
ever, and the number of graduates
in the next few years will not meet
estimated needs of the economy
for peacetime employment"
1t urged student advisers in the
colleges to "call the present situa-
tion to the attention of qualified
entering freshmen"
Most qualified engineers grad
uated last June had found Jobs
even before the impact of the
Korean crisis, the report said.
