WASHINGTON - (ANP) - The
impression is gaining vide currency
back here that Mike Jacobs has
begun pincers movement to
squeeze Julian Black, co-manager
of Joe Louis, out of his relationship
with the Brown Bomber
An item which appeared in last
Wednesdays Chicago Herald-Ame-
rican a Hearst publication, plainly
said that Louis is considering max
ing change in his manners. John
Roxborough, the other partner. is
now under sentence on conspir-
acy rap. The contract which the
managers hold with Louis expires
next spring, it is reported.
Sports obervers here who are ac-
quainted with affairs of the indivi-
duals involved recognize the Chi
cage news story as a plant" They
point out that Jacobs and the
Hearst outfit have long enjoyed
cordial relations.
NEGROES FOUND JOE
1t is matter of record that the
goth Century Sporting club headed
by Jacobs got its beginning via the
goth Century Milk Fund, which
was pet charity sponsored by
Mrs. William Randolph Hearst
with the aid of her husbands
newspapers.
Joe Louis was just another me-
chanic in the Henry Ford plant in
Detroit when Black and Rox-
borough came along and made a
million dollar investment out of
him. His natural instincts as a
fighter, the superb training given
him by his late trainer, Jack
Blackburn, all fitted in we'll with
the promotional capabilities of the
Jacobs organization.
Louis rapid rise immediately be-
gan to spell success for the goth
Century Sporting club. Few sports
writer's of reputation, if any, will
deny that Louis was the clubs
chief moneymaker.
In his climb to fame and fortune.
Louis needed guidance from per-
sons he could trust. Jacobs pushed
him along because it was good bust
ness. Black and Roxborough in
terested themselves in the fighters
personnel welfare = his dress. his
manners, his investments = the
things that required development
and protection for the long-run.
BACK IN COUNTRY
Today Joe Louis is back in the
country after seven months over
seas where he was exhibited before
the armed forces. Instead of rest
ing up as he might well do. he is
now touring the country doing
short exhibition bouts. He appear
ed here Monday.
Managing this tour is Max Wax
man. Waxman has a little history
that is also interesting. During the
last war he managed Jack Demp-
sey in similar exhibitions. When

In an appeal to the farmers of oc-

advise the Netherlands farmers most
emphatically to avoid any destruc-

destruction would be detrimental to
the cause of the fatherland. The
country wants the farmers to gath
