EI Cenfro Attacks
City Storm Drain
Problem in Survey

El Centros engineering depart
ment Monday began a survey point
ing toward a solution of the storm
water problem.
II expect to get in touch with
railroad engineers to see If we can't
do something about draining storm
water away from the city" City
Engineer Phil knights said
During last weeks storm, water
flowed from the city. under the San
Diego and Arizona tracks and flood
ed a large section north of the city
including nearly a dozen homes. Wa
ter was held there by the Southern
Pacific tracks on the eastern side
and canal banks elsewhere. To re-
lieve the inundation. permission
was obtained to cut through a lat
eral on the north and drain water
through a field into a regular drain.
Knights said a survey of the
storm damage was under way and
would probably be completed by
Tuesday. He said it would not be
large within the city.

Bridges Case May
End with Chief
Witness Unheard

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Il. UP)
Because of delay in appearance
of the final defense witness, the
Harry Bridges deportation hearing
may end today, according to Dean
James M. Lands, presiding exam
iner.
Dean Lands said he was tired of
waiting for Stanley M. Doyle, one
time anti-subversive prosecutor, to
appear for examination at the
hands OF counsel for the west coast
CIO leader.
Doyle had announced he would
appear at the United States mar
shals office today after being serv-
ed with federal court order in
Minnesota. However, he telegraph
ed ate yesterday that he wouldn't
be here until Tuesday.
Il have no faith he'll show up
then, said Lands. "If he does his
testimony can be taken by deposi-
ton. I may decide to end the case
today"
The defense hopes to prove thru
Doyle that he was the main
spring behind conspiracy to de-
port Bridges. He defied an immi-
grafton department subpoena and
lodged a federal court subpoena
for a month.

Storm Cost Scars
As District Adds
Up Damage Total

ally important, they said in the
storm ravaged north-end district.
The irrigation district during the
weekend established a work camp
for $50 men near the most severely
damaged portion to the system in
the inland area. The camp was
complete with a cook truck and
dining and sleeping accommodations
for the men.
A little water was turned into
the system in the south-end of the
valley Monday to repleniSh city
supplies and replenish water sup
plies for stock, Chief Engineer M. j.
DoWd said.
DoWd said many district Struc-
lures were covered with mud and
silt or with water in the north-end,
making examination for damage
impossible to date.
A loss of an estimated 100000 in
property damage was averted late
this week when engineers of the
Imperial Irrigation district cut a
levee that jutS from the Northend
dam blocking the Alamo river two
and a half miles southwest of Cali
patria.
Cutting the levee saved 200 farms
from being inundated and saved the
$125 900 dam, but flooded 600 acres
on the Aten ranch. Several pieces
of machinery including tractor
were lost. The dam, designed to
lift the waters of the Alamo river
so that water can be turned into
the Vail canal, was supporting
nearly double maximum amount of
water when the levee was cut, thus
relieving pressure.
Supervisor Dave Vencill planned
to keep tractors and graders and
a special crew of men working for
the next two months to repair the
road from Ogilby to Midway Wells,
Glamis and Palo Verde in eastern
Imperial county.
All road districts employed addi-
tional men with orders to rush work
to make transportation possible
Permanent repairs, such as the river
bridges in Supervisor B. M Gra-
hams north-end district. would take
many weeks, supervisors estimated
SWarms of mosquitoes which fol-
lowed the storm presented no health
menace, Fox said.

California Must
REGISTER Warrants

SACRAMENTO, Sep:. II. CUP)-
Apparently unable to dispose OF
state warrants to private bankers
or the Reconstruction Finance
corporation, state officials today
prepared to register individual war
rants for all general fund expendi-
lures, including unemployment re-
lief.
The issuance of individual war;
rants would affect about $4,000 of
the states 10000 employees and
those receiving SRA checks.
The officials hoped that a private
syndicate of bankers would buy up
the state warrants but the dead
le passed this morning without
an offer.

The admiralty hastened its prep
arations to convoy all allied mer,
chant shipping to and from alliet
ports and to the major ports Of
the world as German submarine:
sank four more British ships. The
convoy system was expected to be
so effective as TO reduce the toll
of torpdoes to a minimum.
The British seemed conditioned
and ready for long war, determin-
ed to withstand any German effort
to obtain peace after its armies have
conquered Poland. On the basis OF
Authoritative statements over the
weekend, there seemed no possibility
of peace except on Anglo-French
terms-that Germany must evacu-
ate her troops from Poland.
An indication of Britain's deter
mination and of her conviction that
the war would not be over soon.
was the government announcement
that farmers could obtain as much
motor fuel and supplies for agri-
cultural production as they needed,
and that the government was OPEN
ing a campaign to put 250,000 more
acres into production in northern
Ireland. The government advised
all farmers TO SOW as much winter
wheat as they could before the end
of October and to plough as much
grassland as possible by the end OF
December. Farmers will receive two
pounds bounty for each new acre
brought into production. The gov
ernment sought large increase in
acreage devoted to oats. barley. flax
and potatoes.
Authoritative circles. to emphasize
the significance of Saturdays COM
munique that Britain was prepar-
ing for three years of war, declared
that she was prepared TO see this
war through to the defeat OF
Hitlerism."
Unlike the stages of the World
war, Britain is now undertaking
some war measures that will yield
no results for l8 months.
Authoritative quarters said that
Britain's flotillas of destroyers and
light craft hunting submarines, par
ticularly around the British Isles
and the Atlantic ocean lanes, had
been active. Nothing was said about
their results in view of the govern
ment policy of withholding news Of
submarine destruction in the belief
that the mystery surrounding sub
marines which leave Germany and
are never heard of again, weakens
the morale of the German submar-
inc forces.
