Soto Diversfies
Its War Output
Bomber Fusels9es Roll
From Assembly Lines

The sinews Of war are rolling
off the lines at De Soto's big De-
troit plants in ever increasing
volume. according TO G. +. Blei-
cher, vice president and general
At the one plant, Mr.. Bleicher
pointed out, medium bomber fuse
lagos are being produced with the
speed and efficiency that
characterized De Soto's automobile
production Of former years.
The same production methods
that made the American automo-
bile assembly line the wonder OF
the mechanical world are appar-
ent in this spectacular bomber
operation.
De Soto production officials eX-
planned that as material flows
across the plant it is fabricated
and proceSSed into thousands oil
small parts and into large and
small sub-asSemblieS.
Each part and sub-aSSembly ar
rives at the final assembly line al
exactly the point at which II is L
be used in the final assembly.
AS a result, a clock-like smooth
ness and regularity characterize
the whole operation, and finished
bomber sections flow from the fouI
great assembly lines in volume
that has consistently surprised anc
pleased Uncle Sam procurement
officials.
In another De Soto plant many
other vital war production pro
grams are in operation.
A big stamping plant is produc
ing more than 1900 different meta
parts for army and navy bombers
hundreds OF heavy and ntricat,
tank parts and a wide range o
metal parts for army trucks anc
other military vehicles.

Zivic, Montgomery
 Back In Title Chase

New York, Aug. 14.-(UP)--Bob Montgomery, negro lightweight con- tender of Philadelphia, and veteran Fritzie zivic of Pittsburgh, former welterweight champion, were back in the campionship chase today in their respective divisions by virtue of triumphs registered before 14,964 fans at Madison Square Garden.
 Montgomery, who lost close de- cision last month to Lightweight Champion Sammy Angott, won an easy 10-round decision over Bobby Auffin of New York, flooring him for the count of eight in the seventh round.
 Zivic registered a sixth-round technical knockout over youthful Corp. Garvey Young of the Marines, who last spring won non-title de- cision over Welterweight Champion Freddie Cochrane-the same Coch- rane who took the title from zivic in July, 1941. It was Young's first professional defeat, snapping his victory string at 31 straight. Ref cree Young Otto halted the bout between rounds, before the bell had rung for the seventh, because Young was bleeding so badly from gashes on both brows.
 Tn the third Garden 10-rounder, Clea Shans, Los Angeles negro lightweight, won an unpopular de- cisicn over Maxie Shapiro of New York.

New York, Aug-German mech- anized divisions were lunging into the Caucasus, Aug 2, threatening vital Russian oil supplies and plac- ing the valiant Soviet defenders in their gravest hour of peril.
 On that day, in the House of Trade Unions in Moscow, 8 meeting was held. They called 1t the Anti Fascist Meeting of Societ Sportsmen, and its minutes bear the most poig- nant description of the role of sports in war that yet has been written.
 Nikolai Korolev, boxing champion of the USSR, who for many months has been fighting in a guerrilla de- tachment and has been decorated for bravery, opened the meeting by exhorting fellow sportsmen and youth of the Soviet Union to "be- come accurate snipers, skillful tank istS, flyers and artillerymen, in or der to annihilate more Germans"
 Guerrilla fighter Vladimir, a phy- sical culture student, told of the ac- tivities of his detachment: we blew up 87 bridges and four ammu- milton dumps, Killed 28UO HlCler1teS and made "A raids on enemy air dromes, destroying planes on the ground and setting fire to fuel dumps. Our guerrillas authorized me to tell you that now in the days of formidable danger they will re- double their blows at the enemy.
 Merited Master of Sports Vladimir Kitayev spoke of the heroism Of Leningrad youth: "Leningrad sport men have proved to be true patriots. Endurance, agi lity and strength gained in athletics help them fight the enemy. Since the first days Of the war swimmer Burkalov has manned submarine torpedo tube. When an enemy depth charge dam aged the submarine and 1t had to descend to the bottom of the sea, Burlakov swan to our lines and re- ported the accident. The submarine and crew were rescued"

 The phone rings.
 VOICE: Hello, Mamie. Mike Jacobs talking.
 SEAMON: Yeah, hello. Mike, Whats up?
 JACOBS: It's all set. Louis fights Conn in six weeks. Joe's got furlough. You all set?
 SEAMON: Mike, I've been set since the Simon fight.
 JACOBS: O. K., Mamie, you know what to do.
 At that point. Mamie Seamon, successor to the late Jack Black burn as trainer of the world heavyweight champion. becomes very much alive.
 "All that's holding me back" he admits" is that I'm only dream ing about the phone call. Every things set. Joe's trunk is packed. His gloves are at the bottom rub- bed with vaseline to keep the leather soft. His mouthpiece and headgear are soaked in vaseline. His gym and roadwork stuff are cleaned and ready.

 Zivic, 29 years old and more or less unpopular, was sqdarely on the spot last night when he tangled with Corp. Garvey Young of the U, s. Marines before nearly 15,000 fans at Madison Square Garden.
 Virtually every one in the Gar den was hoping that Young, the youthful marine, would win. The fans wanted Young to win because of their natural patriotism and be-

 "Youve got to talk directly to a fighter" declares Seamon. No, please do this, and please do that. I told Louis after the third round. Joe, you're wild. Settle down. Shorten up your punches. Walk right in and belt this guy
 "He looked at me an said: OK. Mannie.' After that it was easy"
 Walking down the aisle in the Simon fight, Seamon felt Louis punching him lightly on the back.
 "What are you doing that for, Joe?" he asked.

SIX WEEKS WOULD GET LOUIS IN CONDITION

Seamon believes six weeks would be plenty of time to get the cham pion in fighting trim. Two weeks at the Michigan estates of either Julian Black or John Peterborough would come first. Seamon, Freddie Guinyard, who is Louis secretary and Bill Bottoms, his chef, would make the trip.
 "All I would let Joe do." says Seamon, Hs eat and sleep. I'd rub him down few times to loosen him up and relax his muscles. Maybe he'd play little golf but no boxing or roadwork. He's been riding horses, jumping off horses and marching. His muscles are frightened up. He needs two weeks of rest and four of training
 Seamon, 45. has been in the fight game for 27 years. His actual career as 8 combatant covers two brief engagements.
 T fought twice and was knocked out twice." he grins. "The ref gave me count the second time that sounded like 30, not 10. You can catch a cold on that floor. It's draughty and there are no blankets. That was enough for me. be- came trainer"
