rims. sias eorr.,panasns

WASHINGTON, July 17.-After
hearing preliminary testimony in
their investigation into the opera
ticns Of the Panhandle Eastern
Pipe Line Company. officials OF
the federal power commission to-
day declared they can block any
increase in the retail price Of gas
charged by the Michigan Con-
solidated Gas Company.
The Panhandle company supplies
gas To the Consolidated company
for sale in Detroit and Wayne
County and members of the power
commission say that the testimony
OF an official of the Panhandle
concern that their price will not
rise. means that the retail price
can be regulated and that there
should be no increase in prices
before l943.
Both Detroit and Wayne County
was represented at the hearing
and their chief witness was Man
fred X. Toeppen, an engineering
and utility expert. He said the
pipe line rate for gas used in
the Detroit area should be cut so
per cent and that II the pipe lines
were running full Winter and
Summer, Panhandle's profits would
reach 20 per cent on its invest
ment.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-16
Of-Street Parking

Six states recently enacted laws which allow municipalities to operate automo- bile parking lots. They were California, Iowa. Kansas, Maine, New Hampshire, and North Carolina. This shows the trend well scattered throughout the na- ton, but definitely indicates that New England faces an off-street parking prob lem when the law must be invoked to en- able cities and towns to cope with 1t. Of course, the parking lot or indoor garage is the ideal solution to all-day parking, but it hasn't been perfected yet.
 It remains to be seen whether the ci- ties will do what private enterprise has already done on particularly grand scale down in New York City. A good many people claim that parking facil- ities off the street must be provided when the municipality restricts or forbids the privilege at the curb. There probably is something to that. In the old days when hitching posts were forbidden in certain areas or were busted, it was customary to provide sheds.
 Defense areas, such as Waterbury, to- day present very acute problem for the highway users. Shortage of parking fa- cilities is noted here, despite every effort made to solve the difficulty. Parking meters do good work in speeding up traf- fic and preventing congestion, but they don't answer the complaint of the work CT who wants to leave his car near his place of employment all day long or all night long. That the problem is serious may be inferred from the fact that six states now deal with 1t by law.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-16
Jobs For Science

In his recent Commencement Day ad- dress at Haverford College former Pres ident Hoover called on American science to produce successful defense against air. plane attacks. He asked scientists of to- day to match achievements of the past by creating new machines and methods to defeat the deadly war machines used by Hitler'S armies.
 Almost simultaneously Charles F. Ket- tering made public statement in which he said that the interception of night bomberS is "being licked now" in England by detection devices "now in production" !" He confidently predicted that submarines will be defeated by new American inverl- tions
 MT. Kettering, famous inventor and scientist of General Motors, is head-man of the National Inventors Council, a semi official organization that acts in connec- tion with the United States Patent Office. Kettering says that American inventors, professional and amateur, have submit ted many thousands of ideas that relate to the mechanics of the war, and that of these, 75 have been judged to be of a major importance and are being devel- 0ped. He expresses confidence that Ger man submarines will be driven from the Hthb Dy Lue ueFelupIueuL Ol ~ uSVlce tiab Will catch them on the surface at night. we have been working with the Navy for six years" he said, referring to the re- search division of General Motors.

Ban On Sprinklers

Waterbury householders can be thank ful that there are no inspectors proving the neighborhood these fine evenings as lawn sprinklers operate at full blast. Free and unrestricted use of water, whether 1t is for sprinkling purposes or for any oth- CT, is one of the privileges that go with living in Waterbury. Sometimes when the tax load seems like qu$e lot just the thought of this Is enough to make us satisfied with everything. Up in Cam bridge, Mass, right now water inspectors are checking up on use of water for lawn sprinklers.
 As result of their reports the city fathers have stopped the use of at least 100 sprinklers during the past month. It's all because of an increase in water con- sumption, which coupled with lack of suf- ficient rainfall this year, spells trouble, according to the city's water bureau head. Now sprinklers or hose may be used only between and p. m. and no longer than for one hour. Put such ban into effect in Waterbury and the complaints would never stop.
 All of which proves how fortunate we are and how fortunate we will always be so long as our water system is main- tained as it always has been. At time like the present when efforts are being made to improve water conditions to superlative point everyone can be rather glad of the fact that he lives in this com munity.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-16

A conflict between local ordinances and federal plans for defense housing can be expected to end only in one way. The gov- ernment will continue to erect its housing units here just as 1t has planned them and the city will make an exception in its case. We don't possibly see any differ ent ending to the story than this. How ever, 1t brings up point that was made year or so ago here in Waterbury when there was agitation for federal housing project There were charges that the type of house to be constructed would not prove satisfactory over long period into consideration that t they y were re not of the present defense housing type. These latter are not, we understand, regarded as something permanent, but are in- tended to meet an emergency such as most defense industry centers are en- countering. That's why we don't think Uncle San's plans will be changed to meet local plumbing requirements.

Drawing Closer to Canada

What the relationship between the United States and various European coun- tries will be after the war, no one can say definitely. But one thing stands out crystal clear in this fog of the future, and that is that the United States and Canada will be thrown closer together than ever before. No two countries in the world are bound by such strong natural ties of common standards of liv- ing, common culture and ideals, compile mentary economies, ties of language and friendship.
 As pr. Calvin B. Hoover, economist, pointed out in recent speech, present world events suggest that neither country should attempt Independent self-defense economies A long drawing together of 100 years standing is now accelerated by world events. Beside these mounting imperatives, questions of nationalism, governmental forms, look more and more each day like details
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-16
Those Liberties of Ours

Many people are concerned, and rightly, at the prospect that in war emergency, the United States might lose some of it's liberties and never get them back again. They know that liberties lost in the Civil and World Wars were regained soon after ward, but they fear that this time they might go for good It is reassuring, then, to see the report of the American Civil Liberties Union, which is professionally critical of any infringement on civil liber- ties. That is the unions business, yet 1t reports:
 There has been little interference with civil liberties thus far under pressure of the emergency and defense program; that no federal prosecutions for opinion have been undertaken, despite the power to institute them; that only five state prose cutions have been made under laws pen alizing opinion; that injunctions in labor disputes fell to the lowest number ever recorded in a single year; that decisions in appellate courts have recently been almost uniformly favorable to civil liber- ties. That's encouraging, for 1t means that the American people are more than ever alive to what their liberties mean to them. That is the best, and the only ultimate protection against losing them.
