Two Lives Lost,
Scores Isolated
By The Associated Press
Flood waters and foot-deep
snows took two lives and maroon-
ed hundreds of city-dwellers and
hunters in western states yester-
day.
Elsewhere the freakish weather
shot temperatures to both record
lows and highs for the date.

ONE MAN WAS swept into a
flooding river and drowned in
Texas, and a woman was found
dead in Idaho where she had been
missing from her hunting camp
during heavy snows and below
freezing temperatures.
In the Houston, Tex., area the
threat of a major flood eased
f after rain-gorged bayous and
creeks, which rampaged through
the area, began receding.
Hundreds of suburbanites were
marooned by the 10-inch rain
which flooded homes, halted traf-
fic and pelted crops. Several hun-
dred residents were evacuated
when water whirled into their
homes. It stood five feet deep in
some sections.
* * *
RESIDENTS returned to their
homes by last night, but there
still were numerous reports of
homes and small communities iso-
lated. Further danger to them
appeared to be past, however.
The first heavy snowfall of the
year pelted a wide area in Mon-
tana, Wyoming, Colorado and
portions of Nevada, Utah and
Idaho.
It trapped hunters in the cen-
tral Idaho forested area, drifted
roads shut and stalled hundreds of
automobiles.
The snow ranged up to a foot in
depth in Idaho. It began falling
again yesterday after a brief let-
up. But officials said isolated
hunters generally were in no dan-
ger.
Charges Po
Against Navy
In Capitol
WASHINGTON - (P)- The
Navy's air arm is being slashed in
half on Pentagon orders, and the
whole Navy reportedly is slated to'
wind up on mere convoy duty,
Chairman Vinson (D-Ga.) of the
House Armed Services Committee
charged yesterday.
"The Navy would become a pro-
tective convoy to move troops and
fight submarines.
* * *
"IT IS MY understanding that
secret orders to that effect have
been issued in the Pentagon," he
added.
Congress itself apparently in-
tends to let naval aviation "with-
er on the vine" for lack of air-
craft, spurred on by advice of
unsympathetic defense officials,
Vinson said:
Secretary of the Navy Mat-
thews said the Navy feels the na-
tion's security is endangered, and
that he is fighting Defense De-
partment proposals to cut the
w Navy.,
AND A NAVY air expert said
the Navy's jet "Banshee" fighter
plane can knock down the Air,
Force's prize B-36 atomic bomber

25 Game Streak
Blasted by Army
Wolverine Passing Offense Snuffed
Out by 'Tragic' Injury to Ortmann
By PRES HOLMES
(Sports Co-Editor)
It had to end sometime.
Michigan's still-mighty Wolverines went down to defeat at the
hands of a relentless Army team yesterday, 21-7, to clip The String
at 25 victories in a row. The Cadets win stretched their undefeated
streak to 14 games.
THE SPIRITED WOLVERINES received the opening kick off and
looked for all the world as if they were going to march up and down
the field at will, as Leo Koceski took the kick and raced to the
Michigan 45 before he was stopped to start things off.
On the first play from scrimmage Charlie Ortmann threw a
long pass which was knocked down out of the waiting hands of
end Harry Allis by two Army defenders. The next play was one

PRE-WAR RITES BACK:
Varied Merriment Fires
Revival of 'Tug Week'
By JOAN WILLENS
Freshmen will take the lead in
the spirited revival of the Univer-
sity's rah-rah traditions of pre-
war days tomorrow when they as-
semble at the campus flagpole at
7:30 p.m. for the rally which
marks the opening of Tug Week.
The Fiji marching band of Phi
Gamma Delta and the East and
West Quad bands will sound the
rousing call to all freshmen and
interested spectators, and lead
them to the rally.
* * *
THE THREE BANDS will orig-
inate from Hill street and Wash-
tenaw, from Palmer Field, and
from the West Quad.
Original skits, speeches by
Dave Lake, cheer leader captain,
and by the freshman represen-
tative, songs by the Vaughn
House Trio, and a pep talk by
Prof. Russell C. Hussey of the
geology department, "sponsor of
the Class of '53," will provide
entertainment for all.
A sophomore rally will be held
at 7:.30 p.m. Tuesday, for which
a similar program has been plan-;
ned by Chuck Murray, '51. Bill
Osterman, '51, will act as master
of ceremonies for both rallies.
* * *
PROF. HARRY C. Carver of the
mathematics department, a Mich-
igan alumnus and classmate of
Hussey's, will encourage "hip
sophs" to show their spirit and
muscles at the tugs-of-war during
the week.
"Soph Satire," a musical com-
edy, will be presented by the
sophomores for the freshmen at
8:00 p.m. Friday at Hill Audi-
torium. Adele Hager, '51, direc-
tor of the show, said that all
students are invited to see
"sophs' talents."
An all - campus "Hard-Times
Dance" will be held Saturday night
at the League, in honor of both
the freshmen and sophomores. The
key to the informality of the
dance can be found in Bill Grip-
man's statement, "Dress in as dil-
apidated a costume as you can
find-a prize will be given to the
most impecunious appearing cou-
ple."

Flying squads of security police

archy may be arrested.
Virtually everyone was talking

Students hard hit by the swollen cost of living and facing the
added burden of a tuition hike next semester are finding it increasingly
difficult to find a job in Ann Arbor.
While hardly reminiscent of the "30's" when thousands of stu-

keep them in school, many students on campus have reported long

at local business establishments.
