what Congress evidently believed ought

 New York, Dec 18.--(UP)-Like short skirts, vintage wines. locusts plauues and ostrich feather hats, black menaces come in cycles. Every so often, without warning, a near fighter pops up from no where and starts bowling over the white boys. When he has bowled over a sufficient number to make him Q heavyweight championship candidates, he automatically be- comes a black menace.
 Peter Jackson was a place men ace in John Us day. Jacksonson was Jeffries' black menace. Old Har, Wills. now a Harlem land lord. black -menaced Dempsed for wears and years. Now it's Joe Louis. a 20-year- old negro from Highland Park, Mich, who has re- yived the sinister term.

 has had only IF fights. but right now he's the most discussed lighter sn the business. The reason: ten of the twelve fights ended with Uoe's man knocked colder than hnackerel, and two of the victims Charley Massera and Lee Ramage s-were ranking heavyweights.
 Ffx1 Aha AWAnr named, were the last boys to go Town and stay down under Joe's bunching. He finished Charley with a right, Lee with left. which. bfter much study, leads me to be- 9leye he can pour 1t on with either Klst. And Charley and Lee are mol khumps. Lee has gone the distance with Art Lasky, King Levinsky and Ind Steve Hamas, and Massera had tnixed it with the best around with Iout hitting the canvas until Joe |boDped him with a short left.
