M. A. Lockhart, account execu tive for the firm, also declared that Louis was not used to obtain the agreement and addeed his ser vices will not be used for the ac count “until Cuba’s political life is straightened out.” The announcement of the agree ment between the firm and the Cuban Tourist Commission was greeted by many newspapers with the headline; “Joe Louis Signs Contract With Castro.” Louis and New York columnist Billy Rowe, also a member of the firm, were members of a group which invited several Negroes to' Cuba last winter where they were welcomed by Castro.
