Flood Danger
Surveyed Here
U. S. Engineers
to Visit City

War Department engineers,
who for several years have stud
led the Clinton River flood con-
trot problem have asked for
more time on their project for a
special study of flood conditions
within the city of Mount Glenn
ems, an indication that their SUR
veys of the surrounded flood
area have been satisfactorily
completed.
Word to this effect was receiv-
ed Tuesday by Supervisor Floyd
w. Rosso, of Harrison Township,
chairman of the county board, in
a communication from Congress-
man Jesse P. Wolcott.
The original report Of sur
veying engineers was scheduled
for Feb. /, and Michigan Con-
gressmen Wolcott and George
Dondero together with Senators
Arthur Vandenberg and Homer
Ferguson had urged War Depart
ment authorities to expedite the
report.
Wolcott messaged that the
chief of engineers had requested
a delay for the "study of more
detailed plans at Mount Glenn
ems, and that such a delay, I'M
til July /, had been granted be-
cause it was clearly in the pub
lie interest.

Mew Illnesses
in Hooper Case
are Reported

LANSING, April 8 - up -
Kim Sigler, special grand jury
prosecutor, announced in a
press conference Monday night
that new and important wit
nesses have been located in the
police investigation of the
ride" murder of State Senator
Warren G.. Hooper.
Declaring he still Is convinced
Hooper was slain to silence him
from telling the grand jury and
trial courts what he knew of
graft in the Legislature, Sigler
said he believes the mystery Of
the shooting will be solved.
He parted questions concern
ing identity of the new witness
es he said have been located,
and refused to discuss the ma
ture of information they have
given, resting upon a statement
that we've made a lot of pro-
gress."
Participating In the Press con-
ference were Circuit Judge Le-
land w. Carr, to whose one-nian
grand jury Sigler said Hooper
had confessed; Oscar G.. GLAND
er, State Police Commissioner;
Harold Mulbar, Chief of State
Police Commissioner; Harold
Mulbar, chief of state police de-
tectives, and a group of other
State Police and Detroit Police
investigators. Although Sigler
said police of other cities and
states were aiding in the in
quiry, none of them was repre-
sented in the meeting.
Sigler, as the chosen spokes-
man for the group, mostly re-
piled to written questions prev
iously submitted to him by
newsmen. To many of the quer-
les he gave unilluminating mo
comment" answer.
He said the police investiga-
tors have settled upon a single
theory in their investigation,
but declined to say whether 1t

in classes two and three. II is
impossible 10 say now, accurate
ly, how many. II Germany
should end the war with a COM
plete surrender. fewer men
would be needed for occupation
and more could come home. But
if underground German resist
ance continues, relatively
large Allied force will have TO
be kept in the country.
For these and similar reasons,
the War Department declines
any estimate now on how many
men will be demobilized after
victory in Europe. Probably
they will number only a few
hundred thousand the first year
POINT SYSTEM
The Army has set up point

tons and the like.
The men who have the high
est number Of points if re-
placements can be found for
them or they are no longer
needed will be oemobilized
first.
This will apply TO men in the
Pacific as we'll as Europe.
1t will take little longer for
those in the Pacific to get home.
They must wait longer for re-
placements and travel farther.
The Army Air forces present
special problem. There are 3
100000 in the AAF, including
those in Europe. General Arnold
says that when possible those
coming out of Europe Will be
given leave TO visit the home
folks. But he says many - and
possibly most'--will go di-
rectly TO the Pacific.
Certainly it is planned to rush
out to the Pacific the construc-
ton and ground crews needed 10

opportunities for furlough Will
go TO combat crews who lily

United States. There will be no
visits home, of course, for those
who fly east by way of Asia Mi

Some vessels will be moved
westward from the Atlantic and
European coastal waters, but
some will be left for patrol and
training. Everybody in the
Naval services will have job
to do, Admiral King says, and
there will be no rehabilitation
until the defeat of Japan.
HERE'S THE SETUP
But what is to be done with
the 100000 men in Europe?
1t has been decided to break
down the forces in Europe i'm
mediately after We Day into
four great classes:
l. Occupation Troops. They
will mop up the last disorganiz-
ed resistance and then occupy
Germany along with the other
Allied armies. 1t will probably
be one to two years before re-
placements make 1t possible for
them to come home in large
numbers.
2. Troops to 60 directly tc
the Pacific. These will come
mostly from service units of the
ground and air forces and total
hundreds of thousands of men
They will prepare bases for the
combat soldiers who Will fol

also go directly to the Pacific.
g. Furlough Troops. Other
hundreds of thousands of mer
will head for the Western Paci-
fic by way of the United States
with furloughs at home. How
the men are to be brought home
and when is separate story in
this series.
NO QUICK RETURN
4. Troops who will be sent
home and demobilized. In the
first months there will be few
of these. Then the number will
increase as the rush to move
men to the Pacific eases off. Fin

In addition to these, there Is
another, a special category-tht
wounded.
The Army hopes to have the
last wounded man out of Europe
and headed back home within
90 days after We. After Worlt
War some wounded remained
in Europe almost a year.
Probably most of the mer

They will not get home at
all until Japan is beaten, unless
it's on a stretcher.
These are the harsh facts of
what We Day will mean in
heartache to millions of families,
as we'll as in jubilation that half
the war is won.
OUT OF DAT BOX
They are facts that come
straight out of high command
plans for winding up the whole
war, Japanese as well as Ger
man, in the shortest possible
time.
Unquestionably, the United
States is in for another terrific
wartime experience. In some
ways it will be even more dram
attic and difficult than the swift,
angry period Of change from
peace to war after Pearl Har-
Dor.
The Associated Press has gone
after the facts obtainable only
from the highest military, naval
and civilian authorities.
A mother asks: when will
my son come home from Eur
ope?"
A wife: "Does my husband in
the Philippines have any chance
for discharged"
A CT in Europe: "We're fin
ishing our show; why must we
fight the Japs too?"
A CT in Luzon: "When are
they coming to help us get this

VITAL QUESTIONS

we have to produce for the Pa
cific war, or can we on the East
Coast reconvert more quickly?"
Housewife: when can / get a
new refrigerator"
Everybody: How long will 1t
take to beat JAPAN" -
At this moment few of these
questions can be answered ex-
actly. But as far as the answers
can be given now they will be
presented in these articles -
against the background of the
greatest midwar job any coun-
try ever tackled.
Essentially this job is to ere
deploy" the United States Army
- to withdraw this enormous
fighting force from Europe, to
maintain its morale at high
pitch. to re-equip it and to turn
it against Japan in the shortest
possible time.
SIX MONTHS SHIFT

be at least six months after We
day before the Japanese begin to
feel the full weight of the shift.

There have been no short cuts

RECORD HIGHWAY
PROGRAM LOOMS

SOUTHERN PINES, Dec. 8R)
Charles M. Upham, engineer-di-
rector of the American Road Build
ers' Association" predicted here
today that the next few years
would bring a period of unpre-
cedented highway building and i'm.
provement in the United States,
with a SIC, 1000, 100000 outlay in.
dictated for the coming decade.
Speaking at the final session OF
the Carolinas Road Builders an
nual convention, he estimated that
the 1916 program would involve
an expenditure Of $3.50, 1000, 900, with
prospects Of increasing annually
until 1949 at least.
Upham cited the increase in
highway fatalities since the remov-
al of gas rationing as an argument
for speedy prosecution Of a mod
ernization program:
After recalling that the nation S
death toll was around 10000 in
1941, he continued, 1T is stagger-
ing to think what this will become
in the next few years unless the
highway program quickly removes
| the hazards"
Many express highways will
have to be constructed, he said,
but the program must not over
look the farm-to-market roads,
which, he said, serve some $780,
600 farmers producing $4,000. 900,
600 in national income.
