April /. 1t is indicated our airplane
losses were eight fighters, II bomb
ers and eight torpedo bombers.
There is no indication any damage
was done to American warships
Knox said only meagre details have
been received so far because of the
necessity OF maintaining a radio
silence until the Task Force has
completed its mission.
He described an interesting
slant" in the Palau raid by the fact

over Manila.
I'VE don't know whether one VI

proper under the circumstances and
if the District Court abused its
discretion in dismissing the COM
plant.
Justice Douglas read the opinion
of the court, which stood unani-
mously on the principle that the
injunction should not have been
issued Justice Roberts disagreed
with the courts disposition of the
case, holding the Court of Appeals
should have been reversed and Dis
trist Court upheld, which presuma-
bly, would have been barrier to
further proceedings.
Other Action Suggested.
The price law permits the OPA
administrator to ask for an injunc-
ton or some other order when con-
fronted with violations, and on this
point Justice Douglas said:
Though the administrator asks
der might be more appropriate or
at least so appear to the court.
Thus in the present case one judge
in the Court of Appeals felt that
the District Court should not have
dismissed the complaint but should
have entered an order retaining
the case on the docket with the
right Of the administrator, on no.
tice, to renew his application for
injunctive relief if violations recur.
1t is indeed not difficult to imagine
that in some situations that might
be the fairest course to follow and
one which would be as practically
effective as the issuance of an in
junction. Such an order, moreover,
would seem to be a type of other
order which a faithful reading (of
the law would permit a court to
issue in a compliance proceeding
However that may be it would seem
clear that the court might deem
some other order more appropriate
| for the evil at hand than the one
which was sought. We cannot say
that it lacks the power to make
that choice. Thus it seems that it
(the law falls short of making
mandatory the issuance of an in
junction merely because the admin
istrator asks it."
The court also pointed out that
the Senate report on the price law
led itself to the belief that it was
not intended that issuance of the
injunction should be mandatory.
THE historic jnjunctive process
was designed to deter, not to pun
ISL" the court said. "TE2e essence
OF. equity jurisdiction has been the
power of the chancellor to Go equity
and to mold each decree to the
necessities of the particular case.
Flexibility rather than rigidity has
distinguished it. The qualities of
mercy and practically have made
equity the instrument for nice ad-
justment and reconciliation between
the public interest and private
