A Fifth Army order, declaring the

Leo Fest, Inc, second oldest pub
1isher of popular songs in this coun-
try and clearing house for the tunes
from M-G-M films, throws little
light on the subject. 1t seems that
when Thousands Cheer" was go
ing into production about year
ago they needed a march for a
smashing finale which dealt with
the Allies war effort. Somehow the
powers that-be heard that Shos-
takovich, who was having a big play
last year, what with the presenta-
ton of his Seventh Symphony here,
had G few bars of music knocked off
I'M an idle moment that would fill
the bill. Negotiations were car
ried out through the AM Russ
Music Corp. and the rights were
purchased. Harold j. Rome of the
Broadway shoWshops and the Alley
made an arrangement and wrote
some lyrics and that's how United
Nations on the March" was born.
The kicker is this. The tune is a
simple little 32-bar affair While
1t will never be great seller be-
cause of the type of song it is, it
figures to net the Russian COM
poser between $4,000 and $4,000.
He probably thought up the tune
between razor strokes on Sunday
morning. Shostakovich's Eighth
Symphony, recently premiered in
Moscow, runs about two hours and
represents many months of work.
He is getting $4,000 from the
Columbia Broadcasting System for
the American premiere rights. All
of which demonstrates anew that
Hollywood is wonderful place -
from which to get checks.
LEO FEST. INC, incidentally
celebrated it's 50th anniversary by
moving into new spacious quarters
in the Brill Building. The founder
OF the firm, which owns many of
the most famous popular song copy
rights. was successful merchant
of the '90s who had penchant
for writing songs. No one would
publish them so he started his own

(Reg. U. S. Pat. OFF,
BY JACK CUDDY

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Dec. 23.-(UP)-The
Navy has done a grand job in re-
facilitating BoatsWain's Mate Fred
Apostoli, "boxer of the year" and
erstwhile mystery man of the ring.
Before Apostoli joined the Navy
in 1941, the boxing fraternity was
worried about him. Something had
happened to the former middle
weight champion. A great fighting
machine had mysteriously gone to
pieces.
The apparent "blow-up" of Frisco
Fred was the most perplexing puz-
zle to confront caulifloWer canyon
in recent years. Some experts
thought he had been affected by
too many head blows; others at
tributed his let-down to managerial
troubles, and few of the more ro-
mantic-minded were positive he
had "lost the duke" in a secret love
affair.
Apostoli, the former San Fran
cisco bellhop who had taken the
elevator up in the world, was at
his peak early in 1889 - recog-
nized as middleweight champion by
the New York commission - when
he had his two memorable over
the-weight brawls with Billy Conn
at Madison Square Garden. Apos-
toll lost a 10-round decision to Conn
on January 7, and a 15-round YER
dict to Pittsburgh Billy en- Febru-
airy 10. Both were close, excellent
fights, spiced by rough tactics and
vicious swearing by both pr1ncl-
pals.
Many fans thought Apostoli won
the second encounter, but the de-
cision was unanimous against him.
Although the middleweidght king
spotted Conn six pounds, he gave
Billy the fight of his life that night
and nearly knocked him out in the
closing rounds-the same Conn who,
two years later, almost wrested the
heavyweight crown from Joe Louis.
Early in 49, ApoStoli had every
thing. He was beautifully proper
toned; he was Knockout puncher;
he was a superb boxer; he had the
durability and stamina of mus
tang.
But after the second Conn fight,
Fred never seemed the same-in
the ring or out, and his career was
spotty until he joined the Navy
On october 2, 1889, Apostoli lost
the middleweight diadem on a
knockout to Ceferino Garcia, the
PHILIPPINE bolo puncher, who couldn't
have carried Apostolis shoes in
February of the same year. In 1910
he was knocked out by Melia Bet
tina and lost to Tony Yale. What
had happened to him? At 26, he
was too young to BE- burned out.
The experts sought an answer, but
couldn't find it.
After Fred joined the Navy and
was stationed at the Norfolk, Va,
training base, heartening reports
began coming up to Jacobs beach.
Apostoli had changed. He was
himself again-just like the chap
who had come east and captivated
New York in '37. He had new
manager. He registered five straight
knockouts; was held to a draw by
Ken Overlin and took decision
over Saverio Turiello. Then he
asked for active sea duty. He asked
for action, and he got it in the
southwest Pacific as gun captain.
His bravery under fire. his boxing
and his good fellowship made him
one of the most popular enlisted
men In the Navy.
Yesterday he was named Boxer
Of the Year" by the Ring magazine.
Indeed, the Navy has taken the bell
hop up" again.
