When notified of the murder,
Sigler was questioning grand Jury
witnesses in Lansing. He finished
his questioning and then sped TO
the scene, arriving about 8 p. m.
THINKS SLAYER KNOWN
After surveying the gruesome
picture, Sigler declared:
81 am convinced that who
ever shot Hooper was riding In
the automobile with him.
This would indicate the muir
derer was known to the victim"
Two of the bullets entered
Hooper's head through his hat,
which was badly powder burned.
One bullet went into the back Of
the head. travelled a downward
course and came out through the
chin.
Another bullet went in near the
left ear. continued down through
the neck and then came out
through the lung. A third bullet
penetrated Hooper's face at the
left cheekbone, took a downward
course and remained in his body.
THE direction of the bullets"
Sigler said, ''would seem to In
dictate the murderer was tower
ing over Hooper. Hooper may
have been slugged by q black
jack so his body slumpeC side
ways I'm the seat and then shot
from above"

Production
Boost Seen

Possible upward revision of
aircraft production by the
Ford Motor Co. is being con-
sidered by the government,
WPB Chairman ]. A. Krug
disclosed in Washington to-
day.
At the same time Krug an
nounced that the vitality needed
aircraft production program for
the nation must be increased from
a figure value of 1857, 0Oo, 900 last
October TO one representing 1925,
600, 900 by next June.
1.-THE Ford Willow Run plant
will continue at its rate rather
than go down. Krug said.
CUTBACK OVERCOME
A spokesman for Ford said that
production has already been
stepped up and now is slightly
under the bomber-an-hour mark
of last summer The government
previously had made a cutback in
the Willow Run schedule.

craft building schedule must be
maintained because of the need
for Superfortresses, heavy bomb
ers and navy fighting planes on
the European and Pacific fronts.
Krug outlined the revised air
craft program in revealing at a
news conference that war produc-
ton schedules for 1945 will total
approximately S62,000,000,000 as
compared with $56,500.000,000 on
Oct. l, 1914.
HEAVIER PLANES DUE
New programs are valued at
$2,500,OO0,000.
Disclosing that both aircraft
weight and numbers will be
boosted about 9 per cent over last
October, Krug pointed out that
B-29 production at Boeing's Rem
ton, Wash, plant will be increased
from 35 in December to 200 ir
July. 1945. He explained that e
