Continued from Page I dreisa, where their own soldiers are degraded and used as forced la- borers in the building of railroads from Nordreisa to Finland. The Norwegian underground said the German prisoners were treated more brutally than Russian prison CTS.
 German soldiers grow dissatisfied in Norway, it was reported because of bad food conditions. Many were thrown into concentration camps for refusing to go to the eastern front when ordered and there were many suicides.
 One Nazi soldier is reported to have blown himself up with a radio location station at Jaergen. Ger mans later discovered a letter he had written threatening to blow up the station and himself. It was also reported that luftwaffe of- ficer was arrested and executed after a serious fire at the Herdla airdrome, near Bergen, which dam aged repair shops and materials.
 A Norwegian spokesman in Lon- don received information of a Ger man soldier who fired a dump of land mines, killing IS German sol. diers. He said. "this soldier was already under arrest for serious os- lenses against the Germans but managed to escape his guards and set off the mines"
 Desertions were reported on the increase even among the German officers and man hunts are carried out all across the country in search of deserters.

Heavy Odds Against
zivic, Facing Jack,
Are Challenged
Critic Points to Close
Bottle Fritzie Cove
Beou Month Ago
BY SID FEEDER.
Associated Press Sports Write

NEW YORK, March 5.-Fritzie
Zivic bumps into Beau the jump
ing) Jack in 12-rounder in Madi-
son Square Garden tonight, and if
you believe the wise guys, fearless
Fritzie is going to be lucky to
escape alive.
This reasoning is about as sound
as that of the fellow who walks on
his hands to save shoe leather
for Fritzie went 10 rounds with the
bouncing Beau only month ago
and still is alive to tell about it.
AS a matter of fact, if the. ref
cree hadn't taken a round away
from fat-nose Fritz that evening,
for a questionable low punch, the
thing would have wound up in
draw. What's more. the last of the
five flying Zivics really was operat-
ing on the little shoe shine boy
from Georgia in the final couple of
rounds that time. That's why two
more heats have been added to
this second edition tonight.
Big Gate Inspires Zivic.
Yet. a goodly number of the
Jacobs beachcombers now are adj
vising Civic that it might be good
thing if he doesn't show up to-
night because the Jumping Jack
might do him serious bodily harm.
zivic is anxious to show up for
this one tonight, for all signs point
to sell-out of more than 10000
customers and something like $4,000
in Mike Jacobs strong boxes when
the folks start counting up after the
ball is over And since Fritz is lin"
for Is per cent Or so of the net, he'd
be more likely to pass up a steak
than this clambake After all. it
isn't often you can cut up a $73 900
pie these days.
Even the charitable gambling guys,
who always are willing to give away
pianos-if you'll carry them out with
you-can't see Fritzie getting any
thing but a thorough humping from
the little Negro who has the New
York State Athletic Commission's
blessing as lightweight champion.
They're laying to Is against fear
less Fritz's chances.
Sees Victory for Fritzie.
But when you look back at it. that's
just the kind Of firecracker Fritzie
likes to play with. Just remember
back to when they brought him in
here in 1899, supposedly all washed
up, and fed him to Henry Armstrong
simply because they'd run out OF
targets for Hennery to take practice
on. The hammer was l to that
night. and Fritzie did everything but
take Henry apart and serve him up
to the wolves.
OF course, the Beau is a.strong,
rough. tough young fellow, and
figures to make it two in row over
Civic. But don't drop your store
choppers if Fritz pulls rabbit out of
the hat and hits the Beau with it.
We think he will.
