New York, June 2l-(UP)-The light mob, upset over repercuSsion; to the Joe Louis-B Billy Conn heavy weight championship fiasco, won- dered today if the golden egg" that was laid at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night might not have killed the goose.
 One thing seemed reasonable al aeaSt-promoter Mike Jacobs waS not planning to charge $100 for any more world title fights, at least not in the near future.
 While resentment ragged among the high-priced seate holders who felt they were bilked, there was of- 4lcial action in the offlng at Wash ington from Rep. Donald O'Toole D.-N.Y.), a Brooklyn IriShman who seemed ready to put up more of a fight than his fellow country man, Conn, was able to muster in the ring against Louis.
 To Address House
 And Jacobs, never one to be backed into corner, said he wasn't giving up for a few more rounds.
 OToole, who couldn't get floor recognition in a busy House session yesterday, said he would make a speech today demanding that Ja- cobS be barred from using the mails because :he has been defrauding the public"
 When Jacobs said that OToole'S anger was prompted over the fact that his office in Washington had been refused complimentary tickets to the fight, the Congressman re- taliated by stating that he had in- structed his lawyers in New York to bring 8 $10O,00O criminal libel suit against the promoter.
 OToole said the suit would be filed on grounds that Jacobs is "ac- ctlSing me of extortion."
 Will Welcome Suit
 Jacobs said that he would be glad Do have OToole sue him.
 "YeS, sir I'll welcome the suit,' Jacobs said. But I don't believe he'll dare to go through with it. He's just trying to get his name in the paper, at my expense, because he's coming up for election soon. He wants to dish 1t out, but he can't take it."
 Earlier, OToole, who saw the fight by television and claimed he saw only r solid punches, asked Eddie Eagan of the New York Box ing Commission to hold up the purses of Louis, who knocked out the challenger in eight rounds, and conn, whose sorry showing prompt cd him to announce his retirement. Eagan, Republican, appointed oy Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, said that he hadn't received any such telegram, then added the acoustic comment that Democrat OToole was talking about a fight that he had seen only by television.
 T see no reason why any Con- greSSman would make inquiries about the fight if he had not the sporting instincts to come and see it m the first place." Eagan said.
 Boxers Pick Up Cash
 Despite OToole's threats, the boxers picked up their cash rewards. Champion Louis, who spent yester- day recovering from his not too gruelling ordeal on golf course at suburban Yonkers, took in $625, ,916. Conn's share was $S12,95s.
 OToole was rndaunted by Eagan'S remarks.
 T saw the whole fight by tele- vision right here in Washington, D he said. What Eagan means is that I didn't have the sucker in- stinct."
 "1f that Is the best answer he can give to the fisasco that eyery- body in the country knows it was, me had better turn in his papers. It IS his duty to protect the public from such exhibitions and that is what 1t was. I can't call it a fight. It was an exhibition"
 Greene Enters Fray
 Even Abe J. Greene of Paterson. N. J.. the president of the National Boxing Association and a frequent critic of Jacobs methods got into the affray.
 Greene resented OToole's re- marks, which he said reflected up- on boxing conditions throughout the country.
 Jacobs, meanwhile, was busy ln- ing up another title defense for Louis, probably against either Tami Mauriello of New York's Bronx or Jersey Joe Walcott, @ Camden Me- gro, who has six children. AL though Louis announced before fighting Conn that he would not box again this year, Jacobs said he thought the Brown Bomber" would change his mind.
 Jacobs said the fight probably would be in Yankee Stadium in September.
 Conn Out for Good
 Whatever Jacobs plans were for the future, the defeated Conn in- sisted he wanted no part in them. Uncle Mike had said that he
