FIFTEEN DEATHS

Chicago, Dec, 29.

The worst storm of the winter wrapped "thou- sands" of motorists in snowdrifts today and isolated entire towns as it flung snow, ice, freezing rain and tornadoes across virtually the entire United States.

At least 15 deaths were blamed on the storm which was rolling northeastward across the Great Lakes region today. Two persons were injured as a result of a plane crash in Alabama that occurred in the midst of a series of violent equalls. One man froze to death in New Mexico, another died of exposure in Texas, five died in weather-caused Oklahoma traffic accidents and another dind in a traffic skid in Illinois.
