POLICE DRAGNET
OUT FOR SLAYER
OF LEGISLATOR

JACKSON, Mich, Jan. 14.-LP)-
A Nation wide "dragnet' has been
thrown out by State police for the
slayer of State Senator Warren G.
Hooper, Kim Sigler, special prose-
cutor for the Grand jury investi-
eating corruption in the Michigan
Legislature, declared today.
Sigler asserted, no ever, that
the solution of Michigan's most
sensational political killing may
develop into long, drawn Out
manhunt.
The special prosecutor stated
that the death of Hooper, a key
witness in several Grand Jury
cases, deprived the State of Hoop
er''s testimony before Circuit Judge
Leland W. Cars one-man Grand
Jury. The testimony, he said,
could not be used in court because
defendants would have no oppor-
tunity to cross examine Hooper.
The Grand Jury, which began it's
inquiry two years ago, has named
in warrants more than so men,
20 of whom have been convicted.
Many cases have yet to J e tried.

Falaise roundup in France.
Tanks of the First Army's Third
Armored Division and 83rd Divls-
ion infantrymen battered their way
across the St. Vith-Houffalibe road
near the village OF Cherain, four
miles northeast Of Houffalize to
shut off the last practical means
of egress for the enemy remnants
to the northwest, southwest and
west.
The number of Germans caught
in the pocket was not estimated
but was known to include three
battalions of troops and possibly
so tanks which had been counter
attacking the Third Army's push
toward Houffalize along the Bas-
togne highway. Other sizeable en-
envy forces were opposing the sec
ond Armored Division of the First
Army in it's drive on Houffalize
from the north and Third Army
units which had cut. the St. With
road southwest of Houffallze.
Heavy, fluctuating fighting was
under way on the latter sector in
the streets of Bertogne, six miles
southwest of Houffalize, where the
Germans had counter-attacked
three times in "a hours with the
support of some 80 tanks. The ac-
ton was continuing at 6 a. m. Sun
day, about the same hour that the
road was cut northeast of Houf-
falize so those Germans appeared
definitely in the bag.
