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 any time, day or night.

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.

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."

Temperatures ranging in the eighties brought shirt-sleeves and sunglasses out until the predominant color of the crowd was a brilliant white. PROMPTLY AT 1:10 the 250 cadets, who had arrived two hours earlier, went into their precision marching routine, accompanied by the Michigan marching band. When the Wolverine band took the field and headed for the goal post, drum major Fred. Breidenbach dropped the baton. His assistants, Floyd Zarbock and Dick Smith made up for it at the other goal post. The usual pre-game formalities were completed when referees held up the opening kickoff to remove the traditional small black dog who had wandered on the field. IN THE PRE-GAME cheering, the ordered shouts of the West Pointers drowned out the loosely organized Wolverine cheers. Once the game had started, however, it was the encouraging cries of Uni- versitymstudents that filled the stadium. The usual conglomeration of noise making sirens and trum- pets were on hand along with a couple of motion picture cam- eras on tripods in the 50 yard line sections. Scattered in the north-west sec- tion were some 260 disabled vet- erans from south Michigan hos- pitals who were taking the seats of warm-hearted students. THE FEELINGS of the disabled men were summed up by one vet who said, "we are all grateful to the University and we want to 000.
