' Realm of Sports— <=> Wherein We Digress to Dig Into Joe Louis’ Flood of Fan Mail and Find a Letter G ving Him Some Sound Advice and Telling or tne Esteem in Which He is Held by Both Races. THE LIFE STORY OF JOE LOUIS As oi l to Chester L. Washington and William G. Nunn Joe Louis knocked out Lee liar.age in their sensational sec f.eeond engagement ou in Cali P" had bee t invited up to ’Frisco by popular demand to 1 i>t “neds” Hirry, another West Coast favorite. And now Joe is ready to knock out Barry in our serial story, but we’re go ing to ask him for he first time in his thrilling career to “pull his painch’’ un il nexr week so that we can reveal a leder written to Louis recently which is such a masterpiece that i “speaks for itse'f.’’ So here’s the letter, folks: Joe Louis, brown bomber, who has injected the e'ixar of life in.o the fight game with his devas at ing punching, receives on ihe av erage of 50 lefiers each day from various parts of the world. En couraging words are incorporated in every missive that crosses the d< or; die office John W. Roxbor ough has se. up at 1727 St. An toine s reet. However, one of the best Joe Ins receiv 1 came mst week from a man who can look many miles back down the fistic trail and point out the obstacles that fighters will encounter in their march toward success. This man is Jack Weske, mana ager of Johnny Cou'on when the little Chicagoan was bantam weight champion. Weske retired from the game many years ago and is now living a peaceful life in Chicago. But why say more. Read the le.ter that praises Joe for his noble ways and his two colored managers for their smart handling of this promising young heavyweight. “Mr. Joe Louis, “Detroit, Mich. “Dear Joe: “I presume, like all young fel lows, you will cast this letter aside without giving it a moment’s thought. I know it is just one of the many you receive but please realize, some le ters may be more important than others. However that is not going to sop me from writing to you as I have taken a liking to you, and if you read my message it may make your future greater and a little easier. “Frist of all let me introduce myself. My name is Jack Weske and am proud to say I was mana ger of that grand little fighter of other day’s Johnny Coulon, former bantamweight champion of the boxing game for over 17 years, five of which I managed Coulon, but finally severed my connection with the game because of the sickening and nauseating methods of the so-called outstanding mana gers, of whom I will have more to say as I go along. “Now that I have identified my self and have shown that I must know something of the boxing game, I will proceed with my thoughts which I hope will make some impression upon you. “Today, through your gentle manly conduct, you are as high ly regarded by the whites as you are by the members of your own race, possibly more so. That in itself is remarkable. Further more, you can by your fine box ing ability, personality, diplo macy and good behavior, continue to be the good-will ambassador of the Negro race to the Caucasian people, which will do more to place your race on an equal foot ing than anything I can think of at the moment. “Think this over very carefully as it is a matter of vitaj concern, not only to you but to all you love.

Calif., May 26.— Jesse Owens, Ohio State’s great 1 Negro track star, would be given an opportunity to break four ‘world’s records under plans pro posed Wednesday by Coach Dean Cromwell for Southern Cali fornia’s dual meet wi.h the mid dle westerners here June 15 at Memorial coliseum. Coach Cromwell suggests that the usual dual meet order of even.s be departed from in order that Owens, competing for the first time on the fast ienth Oimypaid trade, would have a sufficient breathing spell between I his favori.e contests, the hundred and furlong sprints, the 220-yard lo”’ hurdles and the broad jump. Cromwell considers the Me morial coliseum track and the University of Nebraska track at Lincoln the two fastest in the country, and is capable of .urning in unprecedented performances here if given the proper aid in spacnig of the events. Will Negroes Be Put on Alabama Juries? By Robert Wood (Alabama Leader of Internation La bor Defense)—(Special to C- N. A.) The tremendous Scottsboro victory has thrown.the Alabanma state offi-. cials and their press, into complete panic. Blustering Solicitor H. G. Bailey, who made the infamous “Jew gold from New York” speech to one of the lily-white Scottsboro juries now uncomfortably confesses that “it looks like something will have to be done ” The decision he character izes as “a body blow”. The Birmingham Post editorially cries quits. “What is to be done?” it asks. And quickly answers, “Let us be through with the whole affair at the earliest possible moment”. The Birmingham News calls for “remed ial action”. For “if this should not | be done” it continues “every case,1 either of major or minor nature, in volving a Negro defendant, hereafter tried in Alabama, could conceivably be , appealed to the United States Su- j preme Court, and each conviction set aside”. Scon after the decision was render ed, Governor Graves of Alabama, aware of the fact that the eyes of the entire working class was on his state, '•ondered lip service to it- He issued "- statement instructing all jury com rvssioners to empty the jury boxes and refill them after adding the names ci' eligible Negroes- He also stated that he would seek “remedial legisla tion to cover the refilling of jury; boxes. ” He added, after stating that the de cision was the most important thing tilt had occurred in the South since “the War between the States”, that “this decision means that we must put the names of Negroes in jury boxes I in every county of the State.” It should be noted that Governor Graves’ statement refers only to the necessity for putting Negroes’ names in “jury boxes” but that he is silent as to the necessity for putting Ne groes ON THE JURY. This gesture therefore evades the clear mandate ! contained in the language of the Su ■ preme Court's opinion in reversing the lynch verd.cts after inquiring not on ly into the fact of whether jury ser vice was systematically “denied in ex pressed terms but also whether it was denied in substance and effect”. To Continue Jury Exclusion It is clear therefore that Governor | Graves’ statement omits any instruc tions as to actually placing Negroes on Alabama juries. The press wasted no time in clari fying the meaning of this statement. The Birmingham News quickly ex plained that “the Governor’s order does not require that Negroes be placed on juries, but does require that their names must be placed on jury rolls and in the boxes from which jurors are drawn”. ine views of the rest of the Ala bama press and of its officials defi nitely shows that not only is a de- 1 termined effort to be made to get leg ally lynch these innocent boys but : also that the systematic denial of the right of jury service to the Negro peo- 1 pie will be sought to be continued. Press Lies About Jury Conditions The Birmingham News, in the edi torial referred to above, with true ruling class dishonesty, lamely at tempts to show that the conditions of wholesale exclusion — unquestionably existing throughout the South—is con fined merely to Jackson and Morgan counties. “For,” it states, in refer ring to the local FEDERAL courts, “Negroes have not only been included on jury rolls in Alabama, but they have in some instances actually served as jurors, in federal courts in this state. ” As to the condition in STATE courts it continues, “PROBABLY, they have served, or at least THEY HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE TO SERVE, on jur ies in state courts in some counties. The Supreme Court is convinced that in Jackson and Morgan counties, ' scenes of the Scotsboro trials, Ne groes were “systematically” excluded 1 from the jury rolls. This is ALMOST CERTAINLY not true of every county in Alabama. (My emphasis—RW). The final paragraph of this weasel statement points to the urgent need for the workers to redouble their ef forts many times at precisely this juncture, _n order to enforce the right of the Negro people TO SERVE on Southe’-r juries. Ihe warning is clear in the state ment that though “the court’s opin ion unquestonably calls for remedial action in these counties where the Ne groes are excluded from the jury rolls” yet all this amounts to, according to th s mouthpiece of the Southern lynchers, is that “this is the ABSO LUTE MINIMUM OF CHANGE IN CURRENT PRACTICE in Alabama necessitated by the cour.’s ruling”. Th: r.'.r; nificent victory attained in the Supreme Court calls for renewed and greater effort to free the Scotts boro boys and to translate into actual fact the words of the opinion of the 1 Supreme Court. But the Scottsboro decision affects not only the jury question. It raises, in addition, to a higher political level, the entire struggle for national liberation of the Negro peo ple. Its revolutionary implications be come plainer to the Negro masses of the South with each day. The decision explodes, in addition, for all time, the ruling class’ vicious “Divide and Rule” poison as to Ne groes “propensity for attacking white women”. It signifies a tremendous stride forward in the daily struggle for working class unity in the trade and sharecropper unions and other or ganizations. Start Fake “Natives’ Parliament in South Africa Johannesburg, South Africa. — (CNA)—To check- the mounting dis satisfaction and discontent among the Natives, South Africa has hit upon a new idea. A so-called “Natives Parliament” on the order of the Bunga in the Tanskei territory, is to be established in the Petersburg district of the Transvaal, ostensibly to give the Natives self government. South Africa is in eon l trol of Bri .ish Imperialism. According to press reports, the “Parliament” is to consist of nine members, three of whom are to be nominated by the Governor-General and the six to be elected by the Native inhabitants of the district. It is to be noted that the presiding officer will be the Native Commissioner, Mr. H. Sinclair Fynn, a white official. Like the much-heralded “Bunga”, it will be controlled and dominated by the white landowners, the Natives having the right only to make recom mendations to the “master class”. — MAXIE MILLER ! WRITES (For The Literary Service Bureau) j Boy Friend Told a Lie About Going Out With Another Woman—Girl Got Hot and Gave Him the Air—She Loves and Is Too Proud To Ask Him To Come Back—Invite Him to Make Up—Man Who Never Told a Lie Is Extinct Animal. Maxie Miller: I need your advice because I’m in plenty of trouble. May be I’d better say plenty of worry. I’m twenty-two and I’ve been in love with a man two years, and we expect ed to get married. But I caught him in a lie and I found out he went out with another woman. I got hot and told him I was through with him. Now, I find I do love this man. I believe he loves me and would come | back if I’d say I’m sorry and ask him to come back. But I’m too proud to ask him and he thinks I don’t want him to come. What must I do?— Mary Jane. Mary ,Jane:—There's but one thing for you to do, and that is to express your sentiments and invite him to call. Maybe he denied because he feared he would lose you. Anyway, if you are waiting for a man who will never tell ^ a lie, you'll wait forever, as no such animal has ever been found.—Maxie Miller.
