to request the churches to return s25
each. the withdrawn contribution to
be given to the Congress Heights
School PIT. A.

matter last night. special committee
pointed out that three of the churches
had co-operated, but Dr. E. E. Rich
ardson, pastor of Congress Heights
Baptist Church and former president
of the civic group, assumed an an
tagonistic attitude" declaring he would
have to have his congregation vote to
determine whether it's contribution
would be returned.
After much debate F. c. White in
troduced resolution calling for the
return of the s25 to the three churches
that had complied with the associa-
tion's request to turn back the funds
The resolution was passed by a vote
Of seven to six, many Of the members

'BRESCIA MEETS LOUIS IN TUNE
 UP FOR BOMBER
South A m erican e 5-2 UnderdOg in HippOdrOme
 Bout Tomorrow
By HENRY SUPER

(Untte0 Press Stan COrreSpOndent)
 New York, Oct. 8.-(UP)-The process of giving young Joe Louis more experience in preparation for 8 whirlwind campaign next sum- mer continues tomorrow night.
 In the Hippodrome, built 31 years ago for extravagant stage specta- cles, theerstwhile Brown Bomber" clashes with Jorge Brescia, an Ar- genuine heavyweight who has won eight straight fights.
 Louis, who is getting bigger and heavier with each fight since his defeat last summer by. Max Schmel- ing, is 8 5-2 favorite.
 Workout
 The bout will have no bearing on the heavyweight situation. Its only attraction is that Louis, still box ing's best name, is fighting. The reason for the battle is to give Joe more experience.
 Since the night he was battered by Schmeling's right hand, Joe has scored knockout victories over a decrepit Jack Sharkey and an am- bilious Al Ettore. In both those fights, he showed need of more pol iSh.
 A crowd of 1000 is expected to see the bout. Should Louis win, he probably will be matched with Bob Pastor, of New York, or Abe Feld- man, New York.
 Joe completed training yesterday at Pompton Lakes and he is ex- pected to scale about 203 pounds to- morrow.
 Brescia, a 21-year-old battler, will weigh in at 213 and will have the edge on Louis everywhere the tape is applied.
 Brescia, who was picked up by Louis Soresi, manager of Primo Camera, while the giant Italian was on a tour of South America, has a powerful right hand smash that stopped five of his eight opponents here. His most outstanding victory was a decision over Feldman in semi-flnal of the Louis- -Schmeling affair. .... ..-
