The Communist counter-attack was against a push by the U.S. 25th Division on the Unsan sec- tor of the general northwestern Allied offensive that jumped off Friday, aiming to end the war quickly. ENEMY RESISTANCE stiffened everywhere in the Northwest ex- cept at the left end of the line where the U.S. 24th Division had driven two miles north of Chongju without a fight by yesterday noon. The crucial Northwest Front overshadowed the snowy North- east Sector where South Koreans rolled unopposed into the big coastal city of Chongjin. It was the last known big barrier be- tween the South Koreansand the Soviet Siberian border, 55 air miles ahead. S u b-z e r o temperatures and mountains were proving the big- gest obstacles in the Northeast where one American unit already has reached the Manchurian fron- tier. * * 4 BUT THE estimated 100,000 Chi- nese and Korean Reds in the Northwest showed fight against a UN offensive which Gen.

Nation Hit by Worst Weather in Decades Damage, Death Toll High as Winds, Snow Sweep Violently over Country By The Associated Press Paralyzing snows, hurricane-force winds and bitter cold dealt large areas of the nation their worst weather-whipping in years yes- terday. The storms caused at least 51 deaths, paralyzed entire industrial centers, crippled transportation and caused heavy damage. S* * * STORM-BOUND MICHIGAN braced itself last night for con- tinued rough and snowy weather. Already the state counted 12 death directly or indirectly due to winter's worst storm, which pushed thermometers to record lows in many spots. In Ann Arbor, winds averaging 35-miles-per-hour with gusts up to 50 drifted snow and kept most students off the streets. The Willow Run weather bureau predicted diminishing winds, colder air and an accumulation of four to six inches of snow by this afternoon.

By plowing through the foot of snow which blanketed the playing field to upset the Buckeyes, 9-3, the Wolverines earned the right to represent the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl 'next January first. An assist on the play was credited to the wonderous Wildcats of Northwestern who forced an over. confident Illinois team to cancel westward travel reserva- tions by beating the Illini 14-7 in Evanston.

A STORM of hurricane velocity lashed the East Coast with a fury that cost 25 lives and left thou- sands of persons homeless in flood- ed shore areas. Winds ranged up to 108 miles an hour. The storm was the worst on the upper Eastern Seaboard since the devastating 1938 hurricane. It nip- ped a path of destruction from New England to Virginia running into, many millions of dollars. * * * FLOODS picked up waterfront houses like toys, submerged air- ports, covered railway lines and blocked some sections of the New York City subway. More than two inches of rain fell in New York City. A huge wind-propelled tide smashed beach homes a mile in- land on New York's Staten Island. More than 1,000 families were evacuated from flooded East Coast shore areas. THE WORST blizzard in 37 years dumped a paralyzing blanket of snow over the important Ohio industrial centers of Cleveland, Youngstown, Akron and Canton. Snow drifting as high as a tall man's head paralyzed traffic, busi- ness and industry. In Elyria, Ohio, a babyswas born in a snowbank be- cause storms prevented the moth- er from making her way to shelter. Ohio's snowfall was as heavy as that recorded during the f am- ed "November Storm" of 913 when large Great Lakes vessels sunk by the dozens and hun- dreds of lives were lost. Already two vessels have col- lided without injuries and a tug- boat last night bucked its way into Toledo after losing a barge in Lake Erie.

University buses which had met the team's special train in Toledo carried jthe players right to their doors. The buses were delayed by more than an hour by road con- ditions and only 12 students were on hand to cheer those members of the squad who were dropped at the Union. The Student Legislature and the Wolverine Club have already taken steps to insure a more rousing wel- come, however. -A pep rally fea- turing coaches and tea members will be held at noon tomorrow on the steps of the Union. The rally will be touched off by a parade of University bandsmen across the Diag to the Union. Members of both organizations requested interested students to contact Larry Bloch of the Wolver- ine Club if they wish' to help in organizing the rally. Other participants in yesterday's icy spectacle were not so fortunate, however. A fleet of busses carry- ing the University Marching Band was stranded by snow in Marion, O., conditions and the players were forced to stay the night. * * * * * * Cold Columbus Freezes Wolverine Enthusiasm i I By PAUL BRENTLINGER Daily City Editor COLUMBUS - With visions of California sunshine dancing through their heads, Michigan fans were forced to agree last night that it had been a cold, cold day in Columbus. The cold and an -ever thicken- ing blanket of snow here prevent- ed Wolverine partisans from en- joying an all-out celebration of the winning of aBig Ten Cham- pionship and a trip to the Rose Bowl. HOTEL LOBBIES which are of- ten medhouses after Ohio State football games were relatively quiet. Their dining rooms were Confessed Killer Bolts 'U'_Hospital The confessed killer of Detroit's little Joey Housey, John Rodney McRae, escaped last night from the Psychiatric Division of Uni- versity Hospital where he was re- ceiving a pre-trial psychiatric ex- amination. The fifteen-year-old McRae, who confessed but later denied that he fatally slashed eight-year-old Joey with a razor last September, escaped in a stolen car which was later found abandoned in Jack- son police said. full, but most fans were too chill- ed to voice loud sentiments over the game.' In downtown Columbus, a few Wolverine rooters could be heard singing "The Victors" or "Cali- fornia Here We Come." They were almost drowned out by Ohio diehards who sang about not giving something or other for the whole State of Michigan. Before game time, Ohio Stadium grounds keepers worked for more than an hour to remove tons of snow from the huge tarpaulins which had protected the gridiron. Shortly after the tarps were re- moved, the field was covered com- pletely by a thick layer of snow. UNTIL 2 P.M. rumors were fly- ing that the game would be called off. But then the Buckeye squad entered the field and began its pregame exercises. Michigan's gridders followed them, and the game finally got under way at 2:20 p.m. At this time, the temperature was 10 degrees above, and a 28 mile an hour wind was raking the stadium. A scant handful of fans sought shelter under the stadium's upper deck, leaving most of the giant horseshoe bare of spectators. During the afternoon, some 50,- 000 people found their way to the game, but most of them didn't stay long. Officials estimated that no more than 20,000 were around when the final quarter ended. BOTH THE Michigan Marching Band and the OSU Band attempt- ed to present their usual half-time shows. But cold weather sent the usually straight band ranks askew,, and frozen horns cut down the volume of the music. pionship does not itself insure the Wolverines a trip to the Rose Bowl, the official Big Ten poll Monday which will pick the West- ern Conference's Pasadena repre- sentative was regarded as a mere formality.) * * * MICHIGAN'S big break came in the waning moments of the first half with' the snow-covered score- board reading: time to play: 47 seconds; and the Bucks' one-man team, Vic Janowicz, back on his own two-yard line for a third down punt. At that point, Wol- verine line-backer Tony Momsen crashed through the middle of the OSU line, blocked Janowicz' ef- fort and fell on the ball in the end zone to score the game's only touchdown. With 20 seconds remaining in the first half, Harry Allis con- verted successfully, making it 9 to 3, and ending the scoring for the afternoon. Earlier, Michigan had scored two points on a similar blocked punt which resulted in a safety. * *,* IN TALLYING the safety it was Michigan's captain Al Wahl, why crashed into Janowicz' well-exer- cized kicking leg. The ball bounc- ed erratically to the right of the onrushing Maize and Blue line- men and was floundering less than a foot outside the end zone border whenispeedy Al Jackson caught up with it. Six inches closer and the Wolverines could have added six more points. The Bucks opened and closed their part of the scoring when Janowicz sent a 40-yard field goal through the uprights with 4:08 clocked out of the first period to give his team a short- lived 3-0 lead. (Continued on Page 3) Laurence To Talk On H-Bomb at Hill No Classless Monday Here, AdamsSays By NANCYtBYLAN Daily Associate Editor Although jubilant students spoke hopefully of a Monday vacation yesterday, Provost James P. Adams announced that the Wolverines' Rose-Bowl-deciding victory in Co- lumbus would not affect the regu- lar schedule of classes. In announcing that the Univer- sity would set aside no official holiday, Provost Adams declared: "It has long been an attribute of Michigan teams to take victories in their stride. They expect the rest of us to do likewise. To carry on as usual does not detract from our pride in their achievement." * * * ECHOING his sentiments was Dean Hayward Keniston of the li- terary college, who asserted: "We'- re used to championships; they're nothing new to Michigan and we don't need a holiday." However, it seemed probable last night that, in view of the 24 inches of snow in Columbus, many students would be forced to take a "holiday" whether they liked it or not. Despite the official announce- ment, which stilled talk of cir- culating "classless Monday" peti- tions in the dormitories, students still found much to "whoop" about in the unexpected triumph of their team. * * * LISTENING parties in fraternity a n d sorority houses released last-quarter tension with spontan- eous cheers and song-singing, while at Wenley House 80 students declared their own holiday and came down to dinner without coats and ties.
