Louis NAV Meet Dnyle.

Louis May Meet Doyle.
T OUIS told Jacobs he would be will
ing to fight once a month. The
promoter said he would seek match
in late July or early August.
I'VE may try to match Louis with
Jack Doyle, the Irish heavyweight
who made his New York debut with a
knockout this week" said Jacobs.
The fight world acclaimed the SEN
sational Negro youth as the latest
successor to such dusky greats as
Peter Jackson, Sam Langford and
Jack johnson. only Negro to hold
the world heavyweight title and a
witness to the triumph of the
chocolate clouter" last night.
James j. Brad6ock, newly crowned
king of the heavies, also was a spec
tator. It remains to be seen whether
the brown bomber" fights his way
to the position of logical contender
by the time Braddock is willing to
consider a title defense, some time
next year.
"Braddock will not draw the color
line" said Joe Gould, the champions
manager, "but it's too early to talk
about a championship match with
Louis or any other contender. Jimmy
will be ready to tackle the best man
they can produce"
Fight critics were unanimous in
ranking Louis as the hardest hitter
since Dempsey. They compared him
to Gene Tunney from the standpoint
of his boxing skill, footwork and atil-
ity to seize openings. Carnera cleared
up one obvious point by remarking
with emphasis that Louis hits much,
much harder" than Baer.
Baer floored Camera 10 times
against knockdowns for Louis, but
the Italian giant rallied sufficiently
a year ago to last II rounds with
the Californian. There never was any
doubt about the outcome, in either
fight, but Louis performed a much
more workmanlike and effective job.

did not show anything resembling a

This time he regained his feet after

There are none who Identity

bride back. in 1852.
According to the custodians OF
the mansion, Mr.. and Mrs. Gra-

of two centuries ago, has been

TO VOTE
IN FAIRFAX,
ARLINGTON
School Funds Share
nterestWith Choice
of County Officers

More than $4,000 voters in
Arlington and Fairfax counties
and the city of Alexandria are ex-
pected to march to the polls to
choose county officers tomorrow
and, in the case Of Fairfax county,
decide on a proposed school bond
issue Of $4,000.
Schools have definitely changed
the complexion Of the elections in
both Fairfax and Arlington coun'
ties. In Fairfax the people are
asked to decide whether the
county shall issue bonds totaling
$187 900 with which to expand
many of the present crowded
school buildings.
While there is no school bond
issue in Arlington county to be
voted on, politicians and civic
leaders believe the recent action
of the county board in appropri-
ating $4,000 for courthouse i'm
provements, despite a countrywide
plea that this money be transfer
red to the school fund, will result
in a switch of many votes that
the So-called courthouse ring"
were counting on for their candi.

race among the major offices is
that for clerk of the circuit court,
with a Democrat, a Republican
and two Independents in the field.
One of the Independents, John A.
Petty, is the incumbent.
Interest Low in Alexandria
Political interest in Alexandria
City is at the lowest ebb in years,
with not a single city office in
volved in tomorrow's election, and
but one State office. The only
contest here is that for the Alex

Democratic standard bearer, will

postmaster and the Republican
nominee, in this race.

TIP PAYMENTS
ALSO PROVE
PROBLEM
Employers Given Ten
Days to Offer Any
Suggestions *

Regulations governing transient
workers and "tipS" received by
employees are proving the most
battling problems to District Of
ficials in setting up machinery
for the new unemployment in
surance system in Washington.
This was brought out today
during round-table discussion of
provisions of the act between rep
resentatives Of employers and Dis
trict officials. At the conclusion
Of the discussion, it was an.
nounced that employer and EN-.
ploye groups will be given 10 days
in which to file briefs suggesting
any regulations they believe more
satisfactory than the regulations
drafted last week.
All o. those participating in the
discussion represented employers,
although employe representatives
also were invited to make suggeS-
tions. John Locher, employees rep
reSentative on the board, said he
believed this showed satisfaction
Of employees generally with the
regulations as drawn.
Transient Problem
The problem of the transient
worker was brought up by Joseph
A. Cantrell, representing the news
paper publishers. He asked if the
board would take cognizance Of
transientS in rearranging the
amount Of tax individual employ
ers must pay in 1941.
"ThiS is one of the most diff
cult problems which faces u.s." e.
Barrett Prettyman, corporation
counsel, who supervised the draw
ing up of the regulations, replied.
I'VE must cooperate with the Fed
eral unemployment in S urance
group in handling this phase of
the matter, and do not know as
yet how we will work it out"
Carey E. Quinn, representing
beauty-shop employers, started
the discussion during which the
"tip" difficulty was brought out.
He pointed out that in many
beauty shops employees, upon be-
ing paid by a customer, pocketed
a personal share Of the amount
received for the service rendered,
the shops share being placed in
the cash register. He said no
records are kept, and that it
,,,o,,II n1eo Ioo j;ff;o,,I& Fow %Iaa
employers to file their pay rolls
with the board monthly, as re-
quired by the regulations.
Mr.. Prettyman asked what
would be done in the case Of a
"tip."
"That's for you to figure out"
Mr.. Quinn replied.
Present Plan
Under the present regulations
employers Of those likely to re-
ceive tips are required to take
the word of the employees as to
how much they make in tips each
week, but some of the employers
thought some difficulty might
arise. They pointed out that en-
ployes would want to have all
the pay possible to their credit
in case they become unemployed,
so they would receive higher
weekly compensation payments.
It was suggested that an aver
age weekly amount should be
arrived at for tipping, but hotel
representatives pointed out that
some employees in a position to
receive tips would receive more
by nature of their jobs than
| others,

FLOODED
WITH KICKS
BY DOCTORS
Rochambeau Tenants
Show Sudden Life
on 'Evictions'

Revelation that the Administra-
ton has not yet signed the lease
for the Rochambeau Apartments
for governmental occupancy, has
brought more than two-score tele-
grams Of protest to Secretary Of
the Interior Harold L. Ickes.
Hitherto, under the impression
that the proposition was already,
as one tenant put it, "cut and
dried" the service Of 30-day no
tices to quit the premises was &C.
cepted in a spirit of resignation
to the inevitable by the 30-odd
doctors and other tenants.
Realization that there was still
hope for them prompted today's
action. Letters setting forth rea-
sons why they should not be made
to leave what has been in some
instances their home for 80 years,
have been rushed by special mes
sengers to Mr.. Ickes' headquarters.
He was believed to be prepared to
sign the lease today.
Offices Hard to Find
Branding the action an "out-
rageous usurpation of private
rights" several professional men
with offices in the Rochambeau,
declared the tack of finding office
space within the time allotted
was humanity impossible with
housing conditions as they are.
Many of the physicians have
maintained offices at 8l5 Connect
icut Ave. for 20 years and some
occupy as many as half dozen
rooms which they have filled with
their accountermentS.
Adding their voices to the COM
plants of chagrined tenants Of
the Rochambeau were some 20
more occupants of the Profes-
sional Building around the corner,
at 1924 I st. N. W., which is re-
puted also to be under govern
mental consideration.
Plant to IckeS
One letter addressed to Secre-
tary IckeS read:
1--WE believe there are many
other properties that could as
readily be remodeled by the Gov
ernment for emergency purposes
for the next 18 months or So
as we believe the lease calls for
and you will appreciate that much
public distress will be caused by
the taking over.
I'VE feel that our side Of the
matter should be taken into con-
sideration and trust that you will
look into it before it may be de-
cided by you. % lease the prem
ises."
Another tenant facing eviction
from the building, said:
"If this sort Of thing keeps up,
the time will come when there
will be much reason to question
the logic of anyone who takes
professional root in the District
Of Columbia"
