Vinson Cautions WLB
Against Wage Boosts
That Raise Prices
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The War Labor Board has been
cautioned by Sterilization Director
Vinson against ordering wage ad-
justments until it has determined
from OPA whether price increases
are involved
Clio President Philip Murray told
news conference that the Vinson
advice was contained in letter to
the WLB which has not been made
public.
Mr.. Murray asserted it was his
opinion the board has authority to
write final decisions, subject only
to approval by President Roosevelt.
The WLB's failure to announce a
decision in the textile case, on which
1t completed deliberations January
S, might have been caused by such
recommendation from Mr.. Vinson.
CLIO members of the board have
disclosed that the yet unannounced
decision is to set a 55-cent hourly
minimum wage for some $4,000 tex
tile workers in 81 mills.
Mr.. Murray said this would be &C
companied by a general increase
ranging up to cents an hour. He
asserted this increase provided the
stumbling block
The CLIO president disclosed he
also has received a letter from the
President which he said he believed
indicated Mr.. Roosevelt has IAN
open mind" on CLIO and AFL de-
mands for higher wage ceilings. He
interpreted the letter to mean that
the President, IN considering the
wage ceiling issue, would take into
account other information in ad-
dition to the WLB wage report now
being prepared.

Police Probe Theory
Legislator Was Slain
lin Gangster Fashion
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
LANSING, Mich, Jan. Estate
Police Capt. William Hansen said
detectives, seeking a solution of the
roadside killing of State Senator
Warren G. Hooper, today explored a
possibility that he may have been
abducted in his own automobile by
two or more gunner and executed
in gangster fashion.
He said there was possibility, too,
that he may have fallen into care
fully prepared death trap, baited
with companion of whom he felt
no fear or distrust, unaware that he
was being taken for ride"
Capt. Hansen, commanding the
Jackson, Mich, State police post,
said there was evidence to support
either theory. Hooper had been a
key witness in the Carr grand jury
of bribe-ta taking and
ribe-giving among State legislators
and lobbyists.
The 40-year-old legislators charred
body, with three bullet holes in
the head, was found slumped in
the righthand front seat OF his
burning car Thursday night on
lonely stretch of highway in Jack
son County.
Investigating officials said they
were convinced the legislator was
shot to death in his car by a person
who was driving the automobile at
the time. Footprints found in the
snow near the car, they said, indi-
Gated that some one had left the
drivers seat after the machine
skidded off the pavement.
Hooper's movements from the
time he left the State capital until
his body was found, apparently
could not be traced
Officers said they have not loss
sight of the fact that Mrs. Hooper
reported her husband had lived in
fear recently, fear which she had
shared because of series of mys-
ferrous telephone calls by a gruff-
voiced man she now believes was
seeking information to guide the
slayer or slayers.

Philippines
Continued From First Page)

Of the campaign on Leyte Island In
the initial invasion of the Philip
pines.
One American column gained 3
miles in the "a hours to Thursday
midnight To reach San Carlos and
Malasiqui, IL miles from the coast.
which Gen. MacArthur's COM
munique conservatively located as
the deepest point Of American
penetration.
Not a single japanese was seen
or heard in the Malasiqui area. San
Carlos was occupied against moth
ing stronger than scattered sniper
IRE. On the extreme right flank
In the west the Americans found
only deserted trenches and a few
pillboxes.
Malasiqui and San Carlos are
highway centerS near the center of
the Luzon valley. San Carlos is
the hub for three roads and two
across at Malasiqui.
From Malasiqui it is 90 airline
miles TO Manila, down wide valley
well suited for the tanks pacing the
Yank columns. BY highway the dis
lance is more than 100 miles.
japanese attempts to bring REIN
forcements north to meet the Mac
Arthur forces were jolted again as
American planes strafed and bombed
alrdromes, motor columns and rail
facilities. More than 200 vehicles
and five tanks were destroyed in one
attack. Another knocked out MANY
locomotives and 40 freight cars.
Along the Manaoag -Pozorrubio road
ground troops thought they had run
INTO a strongly defended position
and called for air support. NAVY
Wildcats responded with half-hour
rocket barrage, after which the in
fantrymen pushed ahead and found
several abandoned pillboxes, two
machine guns and five enemy dead.
One OF the days most spectacular
events was the smashing of the
enemy supply convoy at San Fer
nando.
Patroling Navy planes sighted the
audaclous enemy activity. Torpedo
bombers attacked but were driven
on by intense antiaircraft fire. Five
destroyers from the United States
7th Fleet steamed in and made short
work of the enemy sea craft, then
shelled the port area, destroying
three large ammunition dumps.
American planes, still dominating
the Luzon skies, heavily bombed
Grace Park airdrome near Manila,
destroying number of parked air
craft.
Aided by guerrilla forces, other
American planes blocked strategic
Luzon defiles, leaving them useless
for enemy troop movements. This
was the first mention of Luzon
guerrillas.
Meanwhile, heavy and medium
bombers carried out their usual
pounding Of enemy-held airdromes
in the Central Philippines and south
through Celebes and the Moluccas to
the Northern New Guinea area.
Alva Dopking. Associated Press
correspondent, with the doughboys
on Luzon, wrote that the invasion
was going so easily the Yanks were
asking each other, Where's the
WARP"
He said nobody here expects this
peaceful atmosphere to last very
long. There are--or should be--too
many Japanese on Luzon for that.
In the meantime, the Americans are
pushing ahead as fast rs their engi-
neers can repair or build new bridges
over the rivers. The Japanese did q
fairly thorough job Of destroying
most OF the spans"
