WILL REFUSE FIGHT OFFER Schmeling Proposal For Braddock Bout Meets ('old Shoulder | New York. Mar. II (U.R) Max Schtnellng’s offer to guarantee Heavyweight Champion Jimmy I Braddock $250,000 to riek his title ) in Berlin next summer got an icy | reception from the four American parties concerned today. Braddock, his manager. Jim ; Gould, .Madison Square Garden, ■ and the New York state boxing commission turned thumbs down ■ on Max's proposition Braddock, busy absorbing the Florida sun. just couldn't lie both-' ered by anything as trifling as a , quarter-million. “I'm not interested.” he said. "If Schmeling means what he says, why doesn't he contact my manager in New York? Alt I'm interested in is retaining my title. I'd rather fight Louis in Chicago anyway.” Gould was scornful of the offer. "Let 'em boost it to $400,000. change the agreement to an ‘American referee instead of one 'mutually agreed upon,’ satisfy the claims of Madison Square Garden, I and Mike Jacobs, then maybe we ll talk business — after the I Louis fight in Chicago," he said, j "Why should we talk about a< quarter-million when we already have a half-million guarantee. The | American film and radio rights that Schmeling offers us may be■ worth $150,000 but he'll have to peddle ’em.” The Garden which holds the promotional contracts for a title defense by Braddock against Schmeling June 3 in its Long Island bowl could not get up any enthusiasm 1 about the $50,000 Schmeling offered to guarantee the American promoters. Mike Jacobs would have 1 to get half of it as he sold his interest in the fight (a contract with Schmeling I for half of the promotional proceeds. ( Col. John Reed Kilpatrick.

"This is ■ American civilization" the caption 1 said. The DNB (official German news agency) referred to laiGuardia as ' "a dirty talmud Jew." Officials declined to say whether ' the representations which Dodd 1 was instructed to make would require a reply from the German 1 government. 1 The United States seldom pro- s tests to a foreign government over ‘ articles which appear in theii* news-" ‘ papers. Because freedom of the ' press is observed in the United 1 States and this government has no ‘ control over what is published in c papers here, officials of this gov- * eminent customarily bear in silence what is said about them or 1 this government in the foreign s press. 1 hi the case of Germany, however, it is understood that the ' newspapers are strictly controlled by the German government and articles which appear in them particularly regarding international political affairs are assumed to bear the imprint of the German governments approval.

APPOINTMENTS iCONTINUED FROM r*GE ONE) is Paul Fry. state excise director who has been fired every day in statehouse conservations, but still holds his post. Although it has been sa'd he will be succeeded by 1 Clarence Grainelspacher. Jasper, friend of the governor, it was reported today Fry has filed a newbond approved by Townsend and effective March 15. indicating he will be retained. Earl Crawford, former secretary to Gov. Paul V. McNutt who was house parliamentarian in the legislative session and Helped maneuver the administration's bills through, will be taken care of. possibly as head of the state highway commission. James Adams. Columbia City publisher, has resigned and the post is open. It has been rumored that Crawford demanded this particular job or nothing. After two months of discussion, opinion now is that the state police force will remain intact. Reports were current that both Dim Stiver. Goshen, state superintendent. and (’apt. Matt Leach. Gary, were to be released, but Leach's solving of several difficult murder cases and Stiver's handling of safety recommendations so dear to the governor probably have saved their jobs. 'Clarence Jackson, head of the gross income tax division, may resign without administration pressure to return to private business after having been director of the gross income tax since its enact tnent in 1933. Reports are that he may be succeeded by former state Senator Anderson Ketchum but other sources indicate Ketchum may be released outright. Townsend also will have an important appointment to make when state welfare director Wayne Coy resigns soon to go to the Philippine Islands with McNutt, recently
