In August

Although Michael strauss
Jacobs reserved selection OF the
site for the Louis-Nova champion
ship battle IN September. those In
the know are predicting that II

Jacobs was In Detroit two weeks
ago 10 confer with Walter O.
Briggs. owner Of the Tigers; John
W. Roxborough. co-manager Of
Louis and city officials. Uncle
Mike refused 10 make a definite
statement following the confer
ence. stating that he would make
his decision about six weeks prior
10 the contest.
A Three Cornered Fight
New York and Chicago are also
seeking the battle, and Jacobs
made a trip 10 Chicago last week
to confer with city officials there.
During the time Jacobs was in
Detroit he told reporters he would
select the city which would be able
to draw n 100000 gate. The pro-
moter said he was sure New York
would draw such gate.
Detroit was able 10 produce a
gate OF better than 100000 for the
Louis-Pastor championship fight,
and that was during the depres-
sion. Under present economic con-
ditIons the Motor city could equal
the 100000 gate Mike wants for
the championship battle.
The staging Of the Louis-Nova
championship battle in Detroit
would be big doom 10 the busi-
ness men in the city. II would
mean tht spending OF thousands OF
dollars by the visitors, who
would flock to the city to see the
contest.

FDR OPPOSES D. C. JOB MARCH
BRANDS IT UN|NTELLIGENT'

Randolph explained the cause
and nature of the proposed job
march, and pointed to wave Of
resentment, bitterness, disillusiOn-
ment and desperation sweeping
the Negroes throughout the coun-
try because of determinations in
national defense and federal de-
partments Of the government.
He insisted that the Negroes are
demanding action that will provide
jobs for them in all national de-
tense industries, adding that the
march on Washington movement
was not planned, developed and
fostered by irresponsible, wild
eyed crackpots, but that it is
sponsored and carried on by a
national committee composed Of
sane, sober and responsible Ne
gro citizens.
Reiterating his stand as opposing
the march, President Roosevelt
definitely stated that he wanted to
see determinations against Ne
groes in national defense eliminat-
ed, and that he would put the
force and weight Of the office Of
President behind efforts to Sc
cure jobs for qualified Negroes in
the national defense program.

WASHINGTON. - At a White
House conference which saw the
appointment Of a committee to
investigate and eliminate discrim-
ination in the national defense
program, President Roosevelt was
emphatic in his disapproval Of the
Negro March on Washington,
scheduled for July l.
AT the beginning Of the confer
ence President Roosevelt opened up
the discussion by expressing his
firm positive and definite opposi-
ton to the march for jobs. He
stated in his characteristic, en-
phatic manner, that it is bad and
unintelligent.
He continued that problems Of
discrimination from which Negroes
suffer have to be dealt with by
metho5s that are wei thought out
and planned, stating that march
on Washington would give the i'm
preston to the American people
that Negroes are seeking to ex-
erciSe force to compel the govern
ment to do certain things. This at
titude, he stated, will do more
harm than good.

urged to secure a social security
account number card by J. E.

Security Board field Office at Alt
E. 47th street. This card should
be shown to the employer i'm
mediately upon commencing work.
MY. Stamps also reminded Sum-
mer resort owners to prepare their
records this year to show the
name, social security account
number and earnings Of each en-
ployee so that a complete return
can be made. to the collector OF
internal revenue at the colse Of
each calendar quarter.
she Federal act requires the
employer to have the name and
account number of each employee
even if an employee works for
one day or less" Mr.. Stamps said.
''An employer who files a COM
plete return without any miss
ing names or account numbers
saves himself considerable annoy
ance in trying to locate employees
who have left his employment"
Mr. Stamps said it is the policy
of the Federal Government to
credit the employee with every
cent Of earnings from jobs COW
cred by the law. Negligence in
even small amounts may
make an important difference in
the benefits paid to an individual
upon retirement or to his widow
and children in case of his death,
he declared.
Workers expecting to be en-
ployed soon and who have no So
cial security account card should
make application to the Social Ser
curity Board, AIT E. 47th street,
Or the office nearest their home
which will be found listed in the
telephone directory. Those who
nave lost their original social Sc
curity card may obtain a duplicate
