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." ® t Eniner To iscUs Fatige InMachines Army Fires 11 Wara ffieials Federal Grand I ury Begins hivestigation 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.

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." l CI L r I . u i Bs Stopped BySnowdrifts Family Waits Hours. Below-Zero Weather in i I i I I ti p t Plolz 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. CA11E ..E T M-4 LOST AND FOUND LOST-Coin purse containing $26 in bills. Please return. Serviceman's wife, baby. Reward. Phone 3819.

Editor's Note--This column was written for the Daily by John Johnson, a mem- ber of the Union executive council., 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 t GOOD VISION induces GOOD GRADES fl 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.
