SPORTS.. JACOBS CONFERS ON LOUIS FOE (ialento, Baer, Have To Prove Selves First ftrohnoter Mike Jacobs of the Twentieth Century Sporting Club railed a conference of Joe Louis’ managers today in an attempt to make matches for the heavyweight chAmpion in March and June. He indicated before the confer ence began that Tony Galento, Orange, N. J. heavyweight, would have to prove bis r'ght to a title shot by taking on some worthy op ponent before meeting Louis. Informed that Max Schmcling, was on his way to the United States Jacobs said t'at the Ger man also would have to beat some good mnn before getting anothar bout with Louis. Al the start of the conference the rrost likely opponent for Lou's appeared to be Bob Pastor, who once lasted 10 rounds against the ehampion before the Brown Bomb er embarked im a policy of “knoek i »g 'em out quick." Max Baer and I<ou Nova are matched for May 25 and it is pos aihlo that the winner will meet Louis in an outdoor fight some time before autumn. John Henry Lewis is definitely out of the picture so far as a re* | turn bout is concerned. He intends however, 'to continue fighting heavyweights of returning to the defense of his light heavyweight title, -0O0 -- Get Money Love I guarantee to help you get a new atari In life No cat* beyond hope.

C., Feb 9—Pro tection of the rights of Negro school children is provided for in the bill introduced by Congressman William H. Larrabeo of Indiana on January 31, to provide federal funds for education in the several states. The bill, II R. 3617, provides for an initial sum of $40,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1940, with increased amounts for each subsequent year until a maximum of $140,000,000 annually is readi ed. The bill provides for the dis tribution of this money among the several states for the purpose of cnualizing education opportunities. The I^arrabee bill with its com panion bill to be introduced in the Senate by Senators Pat Harrison and Elmer Thomas, contain the saf eguards necessary for the pro* teotion of Negroes which have been urged upon congress by t':c N. A. A. C. P. since the introduction of tb< first federal education bill in 1937. Tho b 11, first introduced, S.419, did not provide safeguards l’or minority groups, Since that time the NAACP. and the National Ci urdlnating Committee for equit eblo Distribut’on of Federal Aid to Education has been maintained a jstsined enmpi'ign to amend the ileral education bills to safeguard Negroes_ Tho new bill has been drafted so as to provide for an equitable distribution of funds to Negroes in states which have separate schools established by law. It provides that in order to qualify for receiv-J ing funds appropriated, a state must follow certain rules, one of which is that ‘ states where separ ate schools are maintained for sep arate races (must) provide for a just and equitable apportionment ! of such funds for the benefit of schools and teaeher-preparatior. in ititutions maintained for separate races, without reduction of the pro portion of state and local monies expended during the fiscal year ended in 1938 for schools or teach er-preparation institutions for min ority races, excepting monies ex pended for construction or equip ment of school buildings.” Similar provisions appear in the several sub-sections of the bill, each requiring an equitable distri bution of funds where separata schools are requ'red. In the sec-i tion of the bill providing for gen eral and miscellaneous provisions tho following definition is set out: “A just and equitable apportion ment or distribution of the sever-j al funds, provided under this Act, for the benefit of a minority racial group in a State which mainta ns by law separate educational facil ities for such minority racial group means any plan of apportionment or distribution which results in the expenditure, for the benefit of such minority racial group, of a proportion of said funds not less than tho proportion that each min ority racial group in such State bears to the total population of that State.” Walter, White, secretary and Charles II. Houston, special coun sel of tho NAAGP., have attended several conferences in Washington with government officials and oth ers Interested in federal aid to ed rcat’on urging that safeguards be included in the bill to protect Ne groes as a part of the associat ion’s campaign to equalize educa tional opportunities. They have renuested opportunity to appear he fora committees considering these billi.

Mr. Wilson, who made exhaustive studies into World War records, shows how Negroes in the deep South were rounded up and forced into the army in much greater per centage than whites from the same neighborhood.s The difficult struggle Negroes have in entering military academy at West Point. N. Y. and the na val academy at Annapolis, Md. aro recounted by the writer, who reviews also the war time training camp at Camp Dodge, Iowa. Tho most dramatic aspect of the article is the condensed account of tho resentment of the 24th Infan try stationed at Camp Logan, "t t.he treatment accorded colored peo ple and members of the reg'ment by the Houston, Texas polic?. This resentment flared into open battle with the result that thirteen sold iers were hanged and the leader of t’^e revolt committed suicide rather than surrender. The whole article raises the question of the probable treatment of Negroes in the ambitious na tional defense program now being projected by the Roosevelt admin istration.

HAMLETT, CME PSELATE, PRESIDES I --- Topeka, Kans., Feb. 9 (ANP)— ‘ Topeka drew distinguished church j men ,ministers and laymen to the ' recent two-day session of the Win ter Coune'l of Ministers and Lay Workers of the CME church, whose sessions were presided over by Bichop J. Arthur Hamlett, resident bishop of Kansas City, Kan., ani ' presiding bisfhop of the Fourth Ep I iscopal district Sess:ons were held | in Lane Chapel CME church, the ■ Rev. E. L. Hollis, pastor. The general theme was “The Type of Church Needed in the Present Baffling Crisis.” Bishop Hamlett gave the keynote address Thursday morning at the opening sess'on, and outlined the variety and scope of the discussions. In the group of delegates and visitors in addition to Bishop and Mrs. J. A. Hamlett were three general offi cers of the CME Church: Drs. J. B. Boyd, general secretary and super-annuated preachers, widows, and orphans, Memphis; B. Julian Sm!th, general secretary of the de partment of religious education, Chicago, and C. E.

Dr Langford ! expressed supreme delight at being a member of the conference and pledged wholehearted support to the Forward Movement program CHAMP LOUIS OUTSTIPS FIELD_ Win Ovyr Lewis Proves Champs Prowess MAY RETIRE IN TWO YEARS, SAYS MANAGER — New York—“Joe Louis will pro bably retire in two years. He'll'be 27 and have enough money to live on and won’t want to go on fight ing.” That was Manager John Roxborough speaking in the dress, ing room after Joe had knocked out John Henry Lewis in 2 minutes arid 29 seconds of the first round with the greatest display of punch ing power ever seen in Madison Square Garden—at least. “Retire undefeated, John?" A smile “What do you think." I think, and so do all the sports writers who saw the fight that there’s nobody now boxing who'll be able to extend, much less beat, Joe Louis for at least two years. New fighters may come along, but none could devolpa sufficiently in two years to be able to cope with such a runded champion as Louie —even if gifted with the champ’s extraordinary hitting power. Joe is way out in front in a di vision all his won. He’ll fight f*ur more times this year according to plans to continue being the busiest heavyweight champion in history, one who meant what he said when he said. “I’ll be a fighting champ. Anyone will have a chance.” The paid attendance was 17,360 paying a net of $86,712.36, of which Lou’s received 40 per cent, $36, 269.12 and Lewis gets $15,430.24 worth of balm for his battering. now under way in the conference. The financial reports made by tho two presiding elder districts were far in advance of reports made at the previous winter coun cil in January 1937. The two pre siding elders, Revs. L. E. R. Ros ser of the Missouri district and C. E. Chapman of the Kansas dis trict, engaged in keen rivalry for financial leadership in ihte confer ence. The Kansas district, though considerably smaller numerically, outdistanced the big Missouri dis trict in the amount of money rais ed for annual conference and gen eral church purposes. The Kansas d strict reported one-half cjf its entire annual budget assessment, though the conference year was only four months old, -0O0__ A. peripheral will show width of vision, or ‘ how much you can see in cne look," in the auto drivers’s test of Aetna Insurance Company at the 1939 World's Fair of the West. -o Oo— Miss Mayuri Vichya Vatana, Siamese beauty, will travel through Europe, cross the Atlantic, voyage through the Panama Canal, en route to the 1939 Golden Gate In ternational Exposition -o—— A holiday which smarted in the year 1,000 A.
