Louis S150,0O0 to Quit

NEW YORK, April "a (P.-
The Government produced a
series of documents charging the
International Boxing Club with
offering Joe Louis $150.000 to
resign as heavyweight champion
and sign the four leading chal-
lengers to exclusive contracts as
the monopoly trial of the IBC
continued yesterday.
William Elkins and Lawrence
Gochberg. assistant United
States attorneys. traced the de-
tails of the formation and opera
ton of the IBC through the
documents to support the claim
that the club operates in re-
straint of free enterprise in pro-
fessional boxing.
The Government commended
that an agreement was reached
in early 1948 with Louis turning
over the contracts to the IBC for
$150,000.
Under the agreement, it was
claimed, Gus Lesnevich received
$4,000 and Lee Savold was paid
$4,000. Ezzard Charles and
Jersey Joe Walcott. the other
two contenders, were to meet in
the first match for the title.
The Government also pro-
duced documents purporting to
show how Jim Norris, IBC presi-
