May Appear Before
Military Tribunal
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-(IP)-Trial
y a military tribunal apparently is
a store for the two alleged German
,gents who were landed on the
vlaine coast by a submarine Nov. 29.
The men, arrested here. by the
NBI, presumably will be tried in the;
ame maanner as the Nazi agents who
ame to the United States by sub-
niarine two years ago, President
Roosevelt said in Washington today.
t'rial Form Undecided'
The President added that he could
iot, say definitely what form the trial
vould take. He is expected to make
he final decision.
Meanwhile the FBI kept the men,
William Curtis Colepaugh, 26, an
American citizen of Niantic, Conn.,
and Erich Gimpel, 35, a German,
under wraps and declined to com-
nent on time and place of arraign-
nent.
Seen by Two Witnesses
The only statement on the case
.ssued today by the FBI was by In-
spector Connelley who said the two
men were seen by a 17-year-old
schoolboy and a woman shortly after
they slipped ashore near Hancock
Point in Frenchman's Bay, Me.
Young Harvard Hodgkins, the FBI
inspector said, spotted the men
walking along a highway near the;
Maine fishing village in a heavy
snowstorm.
Brahms' Music
To Be Featured'
Presenting an all-Brahms program,
four members of the School of Mu-
sic faculty will appear in the first re-
cital of the new year at 8:30 p. m.
Saturday in the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre.
. Profs. Joseph Brinkman and Was-
sily Besekirsky will play the Brahms
"Sonata for Viola and Piano, Op.
120, No. 1" to be followed by Prof.
Arthur Hackett, tenor, who will sing
a group of six German songs, ac-
companied by Prof. Brinkman, Miss
Maud Okkelberg, pianist, will close
the program with Brahms' "Fanta-
sies, Op. 116."
It also includes a grant of power
to the War Labor ,Board to enforce
its own orders against unions, and
tax revision.
The president conferred with
House and Senate leaders yesterday
morning. They emerged with a call
for action on the plan to give physic-a
ally unfit men the choice of limited,
military service or work in a war
plant-a "work or fight" dictum.
Then the executive iold his news
conference that the ideas of "as-
sistant president" Byrnes contained
in a year-end statement were sub-
stantially in agreement with his
own. #
There were some sour notes im-
mediately, however.
The Treasury disclaimed any re-
sponsibility for hope of tax revision
in wartime.I
A number of Senators and mem-
bers of the House immediately be-{
came wary over the 4-F draft idea.
Senator Kilgore (D-W. Va.) and
Rep. Andrews (R,.-N. Y.) pondered
the same question--how much to
pay the drafted 4-F in a war plant,
the $50 a drafted soldier gets or
the $250 to $300 or more than man{
at the next bench gets? Said Kil-
gore:
Rep. Short (R.-Mo.) threw in a
barb that the Administration "stop
all strikes of able bodied men in war
plants as the number one answer to a
greater labor supply."

Federal Grand I ury

By The ssoceiated Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 2-The Army to-
day discharged 11 officials of Mont-}
gomery Ward and Company in seven
cities, a federal grand jury began an
investigation of the dispute which
led to seizure of the mail order firm's
properties, and Ward's chairman,
Sewell L. Avery, held a long confer-
ence with his associates.
The Army's crackdown came dur-
ing a day of renewed activity in the
controversy, with orders and charges
coming thick and fast from Chicago
headquarters of Maj. Gen. Joseph E
W. Byron, military manager who took
over Thursday under presidential
seizure order.
The 11 company officials were dis-
charged because, General Byron said,
they refused to cooperate and accept

J. O. Almen, Head of the Mech-
anical Division of the General Moto-
ors Research Laboratory will lecture
on "Fatigue in Machine Parts" at
3:45 p. m. tomorrow in Rm. 311,
West Engineering Building.
Almen has done research work in
connection with fatigue stresses and
dynamic stresses of machine parts.
He has presented several papers on
this subject to national engineering
societies.
Dean I. C. Crawford of the Engi-
neering College commented on Al-
men's visit, stating that it is of im-
portance to the campus since " . .. it
illustrates the close connection at the
University of Michigan between aca-
demic instruction on the campus and
the vital technical problems of in-
dustry connected with research work
bearing on the development and im-
provement of war equipment."

By The Associated Press
The story of what happened out
on the highways near Bowling Green
came from Ernest Alguire of Adrian,
Mich. With his wife and three chil-
dren, one a 10-month-old daughter,
he was enroute home by bus.
The vehicle struck a drift about
3 p.m. and stopped. Men tried to
open a path. but the snow, whipped
by a high wind, was too much to
overcome. Alguire walked two miles
to a filling station and got milk for
the baby, and then they waited-
hoping, he said, that eventually the
bus could be free. But at 11 p.m.,the
crew gave up and the passengers
walked to the filling station in five-
below temperature.
The station was packed tight with
motorists already seeking shelter,
but they made room for the family
of five. It was about 6 a.m. today
before rescue crews could empty theI
station.
West Pointer he is.
"During business hours he's all
business," said a fellow officer to-
day, "but when the flag is down-
after retreat sounds-he relaxes.
Like the rest of us, he enjoys an
occasional snort."
He parachuted into Normandy on
D-Day and landed by glider in Hol-
land. Here he just jumped out of the
back of a truck.
As deputy commander of the 101st,
McAuliffe took charge of the situa-
tion here.
With Brig.-Gen. Gerald J. Higgins
of Utah, a regular Army man and an
Assistant Division Commander. he
ran the show until Maj.-Gen. Max-I
well D. Taylor, the Division Com-
mander, got back from Washington
when the German encirclement was
being smashed.
All during the eneir(lement, Me-
Auliffe was out i the front line
sizing up the siuation or back at
the command post out-guessing
the Germans.
On one of his frequent visits to a
crowded hospital, a wounded GI
raised up from his litter and said:
"Don't give up on account of us,
General lac." Tbe general as-
sured' h there would be no giving
j upe.

Students who were on campus last
w.inter will remember the "Sym-
phony and Swing" concert given at
Hill Auditorium. It presented the
combined attractions of music by
the University Music Department,
conducted by William D. Revelli, and
the best in swing, in the capable
hands of Earl "Father" Hines. How-
ever, this is not the first of these
concerts. Before the war, when the
good popular bands were still intact
and available, a swing concert was
an annual event on the campus.
First Concerts Held at Ferry Field
At first the concerts were held at
Ferry Field or in the Field House,
where the studente could congregate
for a solid afternoon. The music of
such famous bandleaders as Tommy
Dorsey has reverberated through the
rafters of the big building. Later on.
the concerts were moved to Hill Aud-
itorium, and Charlie Barnet- and Jan
Savitt were among those heard.
"Spring Swing" was revived again

last spring, this time in the form 0f
a dance given at Waterman Gym-i
nasium, with Sonny Dunham as the
band. However, the swing concerts
seem likely to become a wartime cas-I
ualty, like many other social events
on campus. Many of the good bands
have been broken up, and those that
are still in existence are not doing
much travelling because of trans-
portation difficulties. Still other lea-
ders have reduced the size of their
bands and are going on tour with
USO units or servicemen's shows.
More Post-War Dances Predicted
After the.- war, Ann Arbor will
again become a scheduled stop for
the nation's bands. Perhaps swing
concerts will not be revived, but the
many activities on campus which
are not active now will sponsor dan-
ces which will bring the best in popu-
lar music to the University of
Michigan students.
