KILLER STORM RIPS NOR THE AST:
Winter weather leaves 51 dead
From the Associated Press
Floodwaters churning chunks of ice
surged into hundreds of homes in the
Northeast yesterday, and record cold
moved in following the winter's
meanest storm, a wet and Windy killer
that contributed to at least 51 deaths.
About 4,800 people were evacuated
from communities along the Delaware
River and other streams in New York
and Pennsylvania where ice jams
blocked the runoff from up to 3 inches of
rain and the rivers overflowed.
TEMPERATURES that had bounced
to record spring-like highs in New
rngland on Wednesday shot back
down, to new lows in many regions.
About two dozen cities from New
Orleans to Pittsburgh reported record
cold for the date - many far below zero
as winds gusting to hurricane force
whipped parts of New England.
,The 1,388 residents of Okawville, Ill.,
spent the night with no heat in tem-
Ex-band
director
Revelli
honored
By MARK GINDIN
t Former University marching Band
Director William Revelli was inducted
info the National Hall of Fame of
'Distinguished Band Conductors last
Saturday in Troy, Alabama.
Revelli, who was one of three induc-
tees who became the first living men
'inducted into the hall, spent more than
30 years as University band director.
The former director, who retired in
1972, developed one of the most famous
university bands in the country.
During Saturday's ceremony,
Revelli's wife Mary unveiled his oil por-
trait, which is now on permanent
* display at the hall of fame.
Revelli first gained notoriety as a
high school band leader in Hobart, Ind.
His band went on to win competitions in
the county and state. Within ten years,
he had developed one of the 'leading
high school band programs in the
nation.
peratures hovering at 10 degrees when
a utility was forced to shut off the gas
because of an equipment problem
related to the cold.
YESTERDAY WAS the coldest day of
the year in numerous cities from
Chicago, where the reading was minus
11 and residents were digging out from
under a foot of snow, to Nashville,
Tenn., where it was 2 above.
Cities reporting record subzero tem-
peratures included Marquette, minus
32; Cincinnati, minus 10; Rockford, Ill.,
minus 15, and Pittsburgh, minus 6.
In Michigan, which got up to 17 inches
of snow earlier in the week, the subzero
cold forced schools to close in 182 of 575
school districts. It was so cold in
Munising - one official report put it at
48 below - that school bus engines
refused to start, officials said. Snow
drifts 5 feet high blocked a 44-mile
stretch of highway between Munising
and Marquette.
IN WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., seven
people were killed when a Lockheed
jetstar crashed and burned during
foggy weather Wednesday night near
the Westchester County Airport. At
least 44 other deaths were blamed on:
the storm that buried the Midwest in
snow earlier in the week.
A huge ice jam on the Delaware
River sent floodwaters pouring into the
twin cities of Port Jervis, N.Y., and
Matamoras, Pa., forcing about 4,800
people to flee in emergency shelters.
"To the best of our knowledge, the
whole town was evacuated," said
Elizabeth Eicherly of the Pennsylvania
Emergency Management Association
in Harrisburg, Pa.
WHILE SOME were able to return to
their homes after the ice jam broke up
yesterday morning, most of the 2,200
residents of Matamoras were forced to
wait at the Matamoras Elementary
School where the Red Cross had set up
