MYSTERY-SLAYING:
Hoo perMurder Clues Begin
To Form Pattern, Police Say

By he Associated Press
LANSING, Jan. 18-Clues in the
mystery-slaying of Senator Warren
G. Hooper are falling into a pattern,
the police announced tonight, and
order is emerging from the welter of
confusing evidence and testimony.
Hooper, one of the key witnesses'
in the Carr Grand Jury investiga-
tion of governmental graft, was
found dead--three bullets had been
fired into his head and face-one
week ago today in his burning auto-
mobile on a lonely Jackson county,
highway.
Notlue Neglected
Special grand jury prosecutor Kim
. Segler, the chosen spokesman for
law enforcement officers in this
greatest of Michigan man hunts, said
the original theory that Hooper was
murdered to prevent him from be-
with any other community in the
world. We have given and shall con-
tinue to gij7e everything we have. We
ask nothing in return except that!
consideration and respect which is
our due."
5. Goals for freed small nations
-"We have but one principle
about the liberated countries or
the repentant, satellite countries
wich we strive for according to
th best of our ability and re-
sources."
6. Forthcoming "Big Three" con-
ference-"I have great hopes of this
conference, because it comes at a
moment when a good manysmoulds
can be set out to receive a great deal
of nioulten metal, and also at the
moment when direct advance may be
made towards the larger problems
which will confront the victors, above
all advance to that world organiza-
tion upon which, as we all know, the
salvation of our harassed generation
and the immediate future of the
world depends.
Now Showing
PUA4LE AN THRILLS!
coming a star prosecution witness in
trial courts has not been abandoned,
but that clues have been uncovered
( which also seem to support other
theories, and that "no possible clue
or theory is being neglected."
He said investigators do not treat
lightly the report that Hooper's life
was threatened recently by another
man during a Bay City barroom
quarrel, but declined to discuss this
phase of the inquiry in any detail.
A tall man and a short man ac-'
costed Hooper in the doorway of the
Senate chamber just a couple of
hours before he left Lansing on the
fatal ride identified themselves today,
and proved to be just minor state
officials who had stopped the Sen-
ator to wish him well.
Contact Not Thought Important
Not until they learned that Sigler
considered their .silence was "singu-
lar" did they realize that their con-
tact with him was sufficiently im-
portant to be reported, they said.
Both were released and Sigler indi-
cated he had no further interest in
them.
Dozens of witnesses have been in-
terrogated here, in Jackson and at{
other places as the police continued
to seek a maroon colored automobile
reported at the scene of the killing
which Sigler considers either was
used to intercept the senator to
shoot him, or to pick up the actual
slayer.
$25,000 Reward Considered
A bill posting a $25,000 reward for
capture and conviction of the killers
of Senator Hooper advanced in the
House of Representatives today to
position for a final vote Monday
night, as attempts to amend it on
the floor were voted down.
Yanks Capture
Urdanata, Luzon
Highway Hub
Fierce Jap Resistance
Fails To Halt Advance
By CLYDE BARTEL
Associated Press War Editor
American troops using mobile guns
and armor smashed Japanese tanks
and artillery to capture Urdaneta, a
highway hub town on Luzon island's
central plain, Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur reported today.
The fight Thursday (Philippine'
Time) was the stiffest action since
the liberation troops came ashore on
Luzon at Lingayen Gulf Jan. 9. En-
emy guns were cleverly concealed in
bamboo thickets but failed to halt
the American advance.
Paniqui, another highway center,
also was captured by the Americans
in their advance southward on the
central Luzon plain. The town is
12 road miles north of Tarlac, pro-
vincial capital on the highway to
Manila, which is 70 more road miles
south.
Rosario Boinlardedj
Seventh fleet ships bombarded
Nipponese positions at Rosario, on
the east flank of the American drive,
helping$ break down stubborn ene-
my resistance to Yank forces which
have reached the outskirts of the
town.
The Americans are moving toward
Agoo northwest of Rosario, appar-
ently to sever another road into the
Benguet Mountains, where the Jap-
anese are reported to be concentrat-
ed.
Yank wyplanes are operating from
Lingayen Airfield, which was cap-
tured a few hours after the Lingay-
en landings.
Attack Luzon Airdromes
Allied aircraft continued to attack
enemy-held airdromes on Luzon and
to sweep the roads and railways
over which the Japanese are attempt-
ing to move supplies and troops.
Planes wrecked three locomotives, 20
freight cars and more than 80 enemy
motor vehicles.
For the second straight day, Am-
erican night reconnaissance planes
from Philippine fields hit Okayam
airdrome on the southwest coast of
Formosa and also bombed the Toko
seaplane base there.
Adni: Chester W. Nimitz reported
Army Liberators with Lightning es-
corts hit Iwo Jima in the Volcano
Islands, 750 miles south of Tokyo,
Monday for the 30th consecutive
daily attack on the enemy airbase.
Other aerial blows were made on
Nipponese positions in the Marianas,
at Babelthuap in the Palaus and
Yap in the western Carolines.
Three Plead Not
Guilty to Murder
Pleading not guilty to the charge
of manslaughter, Boyd and Cynthia
Green and Charles Miracle, accused
of stabbing 34-year-old Eugene Wil-
son to death, after a quarrel in Wil-
low Village Saturday, were placed
on $25,000 bond yesterday by muni-
cipal court judge Jay Paine.
Examination of the case will be
held Jan. 26.
The Greens and Miracle, Bomber
Plant employees, and residents of
Willow Village are said to have ar-
gued with Wilson over a bottle of
wine, before the alleged stabbing
took place.
Wilson, a World War II veteran,
died Tuesday of wounds inflicted
during the disagreement.
Butts Drops Dead in

AIR FORCE PIONEER:
Brig.-Gen. Frederick Castle
Killed in Belgian Plane Crash
man breakthrough into Belgium
when a single Nazi plane swooped in
for a head-on attack, pumping can-
non shells through the Plexi-glass
nose of the plane and wounding the
navigator.
Oxygen Tank Ignited
Six more Messerschmitts then
came in for the kill, spraying gun-
fire into the crippled Fortress and
setting two engines ,afire. An oxy-
gen tank in the waist of the plane
was ignited and threatened to ex-
plode the craft's heavy bomb load.
However, Castle refused to order
the bombs jettisoned because the
plane was flying over Allied soldiers.
To cut down air speed, the wheels
of the Fortress were lowered and
the crew ordered to bail out with
the terse inter-com message, "this
is it, boys."
Grew Parachutes
The bomber shuddered and lurch-
ed on its two remaining engines, but
Castle managed to level out long
enough for the crew to parachute.
Castle apparently was determined to
be the last to leave the plane and as
the doomed Fort spun to 1,200 feet,
a wing fuel tank exploded sending
the ship plunging in a final, tight
death spiral.
