CHICAGO (ANP) Fan* who |
had known -Toe Louis to be a dy

Thursday he can be pretty rough
outside the ropes also
The former heavyweight blasted
Sen McClellan, Arkansas Demo
crat, calling him "a liar "
Louis h veiled the '-haree at
flip Di-vierrst lawmaker be
cause he thought McClellan
had accused him in Washing
ton of taking a 5-7,500 bribe to
sit in as character witness ir»
the trial of .James j: Hofft.
Team (pr Union leader Mr

b<artat of (he nito Jtncke.fs
Committee a repel i Dieting
that Loins received the money,
ind Joe evidently arrepted the
disclosure as an actual charge
The repor- way read at +be hear
ing as part of efforts of the com
mittee to obtain evidence that Hof
fa helped influence the entrance
into the union of racketeer John
ny Dm Among other things. ’ r
recordings of conversation •= be
tween Hoffs and Dio concerning
eertain deais were read T the
hearing
At a recent . trial in Washington
Hoffs was tried and acquitted of
bribery charge, after Louis made a
court room appearance which ig
nited rumors that he had been
paid tn be present
Bui lasi Thursday a* the rTi
mor popped up airain after the
readme; of tbo report, Louis
angrily denied it. Referring
directly to McClellan, be said:
"He’s a liar’
■'T have known Holla for some
years and camp m cane they
need ni • as a character wit
ness, and Hoff .Vs law-yen de
cided they didn't
"t have known Hoffs for Id or 1?
j years, and in my opinion he's a
j good guy, 1 wanted to be his char
- Bcter witness and f would again
if 1 had to."
Joe deru d receiving any money,
saying:
‘I never got a red c-’t” for go
ing to Hoffa'a trial Anyone who
says so is a fiar.”
The inference at the Hoff-o trial
j was that the defense brought in
