Marciano Will Help
Joe Louis Pay Off
Big Income Tax Debt
, KENOSHA, Wis., LT’i—Rocky
Marciano said something old and
something new last night.
He reiterated that he has re
tired from the ring for good and
declared he’ll donate a $5,000
television fee toward settling Joe
Louis’ huge tax debt.
The 33-year-old son of a Brock
ton, Mass., shoemaker who re
tired as undefeated heavyweight
champ last April said no one has
made him “a concrete offer” to
come out of retirement and that
“it wouldn’t make any difference
if they did.”
Feted at the fourth annual Holy
Name sports night in the Holy
Rosary School by a crowd of over
900, Marciano said, “I know I did
the right thing” in retiring.
Rocky, at 220 pounds about 34
over his best fighting weight, said
he planned to see his former man
ager, A1 Weill, in Chicago Tues
day “to talk over a personal ap
pearance schedule.”
