I knew it. All the time, I blame It on his Experience. He had a lot more than I have.” Vegar, who believed he won the battle handily, agreed he had experience on the 24-year-old exSpartan boxing champ. But he believed that had he not lost his finer touch through a year of army duty, he would have left no question about a victory. It, was the first draw; on the record for eacfi. fighter, blit it was Vegar’s 63rd pro battle and Black's 29th. Vegar has been beaten four times and Black once. Black might have won the battle had he taken 1 advantage of one potent right hand to the Jaw in the first round. The blow staggered Vejar and- he - stumped against the ropes. But Black backed up instead of moving in and Vejar quickly recovered. Thereafter he piled up points steadily with accurate counter punching and ringwise movement which kept Black coming to him as a target. Judge Frank Clark scored the battle 93-92 for Black and Referee Joey White 97-90 for Vejar while Judge Howard Walsh made it a 91-91 draw. College Basketball Ball State 98. DePauw 87. Cincinnati 81.

Sparkman Assails GOP Administration Political Rallies In State Wednesday By UNITED PRESS (Indiana Republicans and Democrats rallied in at least rive cities Wednesday night to exchange political charges and claims. The speech - makers (deluded three U. . Senators — Democrat John J. Sparkman, indi-' ana Republican William E. Jenner, and Connecticut Republican William A. Purtell. Two state officials and the new GOP state chairman also spoke. Sparkman, the (Democrats' 1952 vice-presidential nominee, held an Indianapolis news conference and spoke to a Jefferson-Jackson dinner audience at Portland. His main charge: President Eisenhower “invited trouble” in Indochina by withdrawing U. S. troops from Korea. That action was “very risky”, Sparkman Said, because “it released pressure on the • Communists ahd allowed them 1 to apply pressure in Indochina. We were inviting trouble when we weakened our forces in the Far East.” "I don’t see how the free world can sit by and let Indochina go to the Communists.” he said, because they threaten Southeast Asia’s entire “rice bowl’. What to do? It will require “very serious planning.’ Sparkman said Republican for; eign policy is merely “life tglk” backed up ‘by strength sjjuilt up during Democrat administrations. iHe also said ‘Democrats gave the GOP the tools—like unemployment compensation and farm parity—to avoid a depression, and Republicans have not indicted a single Communist leader during S 3 months in office. Jenner, speaking to a Lincoln Day 'banquet audience at New Castle, said Republicans -have a “mandate” from voters to "get Communists out of high places in our government." (Republicans have a choice opportunity to get the _U. S. on the track of constifuHonal government. Jenner said, because Democrats had their party “stolen from them I

in hits and pieces" by the Fair Deal. At Frankfort, state auditor Frank T. Millis called Indiana’s TB-«nll-lion-dollar surplus a reflection of “good business conditions'’ and said it shows there is no need for higher taxei." ’ Millis said Indiana accumulated the surplus while at the .same time pouring more money than ever before Into education, highways and mental institutions.

Weinberg was captured Wednesday and confessed the slaying of Bodenheim. 60. and his wife. Ruth Fagan. 35, because of a “love triangle.” Their bodies were found in a shabby $5-a-week room last Sunday. In court. Weinberg shouted a denial of his confession, insisted his victims were “Communists.” and attempted to sing "The StarSpangled Banner.** As Weinberg began singing "Oh. say can you see . . . ," legal aid attorney Benjamin Schmier noted he appeared in a “disturbed condition.” “That’s right " Weinberg agreed.

tured in a basement only Ift blocks from, the scene of the slayings. He surrendered cheerfully and flashed frequent smiles as he was booked for homicide.
