COURT INDEPENDENCE
(Santa Monica Outlook

(Santa Monica Outlook)
The practices of the OPA in obtaining
iniunctions against merchants charged
with violation of the OPA regulations
have met sharp rebuff from the su-
preme court of the United States.
The highest tribunal declared that
courts are not required to grant OPA
netitions for injunctions simply at the
request of OPA attorneys. The OPA act
is not so extreme that it sets aside the
traditional processes which are designed
to assure equity in the courts, and it does
not establish an OPA administrator as a
dictator"
This is a wholesome decision even
though it may make more difficult the
enforcement of OPA rules and regula-
tions. AS constituted, it is we'll known
that the OPA both makes its own laws
and enforces them. This union OF law
maker and prosecutor is contrary TO
American principles. If court obsequl-
ously obeys the OPA it makes that auth-
oritv virtually the jury also, which Is an
utterly un-American combination.
We have no sympathy with the black
market operators who are rank vlolators
of the law, but some cases arise that are
not in that class and merit more con-
sideration than the bootlegger. 1t was
annarentlv case of this class on when
the court ruled. The decision emphasizes
the fact that the courts are still lndepen-
dent of official dictation IN prlnclple
and should be SO in fact also.

CLOS Angeles 1lmeS)
In its report disfavoring a man power
draft to supply labor for war produc-
ton, the Truman committee cites some
interesting and possibly persuasive ma
terial However, the committee is not
the only body concerned, and both the
Army and the Navy have expressed a
desire for a man power draft bill on what
seems to them sufficient ground.
The committee is not responsible for
production while the Army and Navy
are dependent on assured production to
win the war. Generally speaking, in
war it is good policy to let the Army and
Navy have what they ask for, unless 1t
can be shown unnecessary and unreason-
able.
The committee admits that the big
gest battles of the war are yet to be
fought and that heavy demand for war
materials will continue for many
months; but declares that the bulk of
initial equipment and supplies has been
provided or will be within 60 to 80 days,
and after that all that is required will
be replacements The question arises
how the committee can be sure of what
rate of requirements will be required,
Its reasoning seems to depend on an
early ending of the war. The country
cannot bet safely on that.

that no motive can ever justify IN

rather turn their thoughts, their
endeavors, desires and efforts TO-
ward a firm and lasting liberating
peace" he said.
The whole impact of aerial war
fare comes upon the city daily
The raids are acts which, from a
military point of view, are inglorious
and morally indefensible.
Again I turn to those respon-
sible on both sides to use all means
at their disposal to put an end to
such cruel deeds and to help bring
about peace for which they will be
blessed and not cursed by centuries
to come"
The Pope, speaking in Italian on
the fifth anniversary CT his coro-
nation, was interrupted by cheer
ing and cries of Viva II Papa"
when he made this statement. His
19-minute address was broadcast by
the Vatican radio and recorded
here.
I'm this specially grave hour for
the so-much martyred city OF Rome
torn in her living flesh, her in
habitants mutilated and wounded IN
horrible fashion, where suffcrings
have been mcst sharp and daily
needs most pressing-we pray anew,
we beg, we implore all those who
have the means to help, either with
materinl contributions or with the
help of activetwork, not to deny
their efficacious support and assis-
tance," he said.
The Pcntiff told the throng that
with towns stricken on nearly
every continent by aerial war that
knows no law nor restraint-in it
self a terrible accusation against
the cruelty of such fighting methods

E. &. Pushes Job
On Water Mains

estimates that a fair life for cast
iron water mains is 100 years, pro-
viding that they be properly in
ternally coated to prevent action by
aggressive waters. The mains in
El Centre which have been cleaned
and cement-lined should be ex-
pected to greatly increase the
longevity, thus avoiding the neces-
sity Of replacement years before
their time.
The project being carried on here
approximates one third the cost CT
laying new pipe, Harkness pointed
out Considering the fact that 80
per cent of a municipalities assets
are usually represented by the
water reticulation systems, it can be
seen that the refining is a great
economic savings to the citizens in
taxes, he concluded.
Tests taken the past week by the
contractors under the direction of
A. P. Whitehill, engineer-in- charge,
water pressure Improvements on
the four-inch mains completed
Imperial Valley press., 1944-03-13

One OF the most important water
programs, in consideration CT long
term benefits, is underway in Ell
Centre.
The refining of nearly 1900 feet
of city water mains to cost approx
mately $4,000 has been estimated
by city water and fire department
officials to net only increase the
life Of the water Distribution sys-
tenn but to give, in several cases, up
to nearly 400 per cent more water
delivery.
Late in December 1913 the city
council entered into 2. new contract
with the Tate Pipe Innings. Inc, to
refine 10,400 feet of four-inch pipe
and 1900 feet of six-inch water
mains. Since that 400 feet Of four
inch pipe has been added to the
contract making a total of nearly
$4,000 feet.
The contract called Tor cost of
SIPS per foot for four-inch and
81 40 per foot for six-inch pipe re-
lining. These rates included eX-
,avating and back Filings.
LAST YEARS WORK
Last year the company completed
refining of scme 10000 feet in a
project that cost $4,000 but the
city did the eXcavating and filling
which ran the cost considerably
higher.
Upon completion OF the project
last year main pipes which had
almost completely blocked with
corrcsion and incrustaticn gave an
increased fire hydrant flow OF
nearly 400 per cent. Walter Helm
ecke, then city director Of public
works, by test reported that one
hydrant before rehabilitation was
1876 gallons per minute and after
reclining was increased to 400 gal
Ions per minute, with an average
flow CT 280 gallons per minute.
Many pipes being refined are SO
tuberculated with incrustations that
in some vases they had only a one
inch waterway. The uneven sur
face inside the pipe was built up OF
Jagged pinnacles and stalactlte
formations that slowed the water
flow, Mr.. Heinecke's report said
His report was published in full in
the January issue of the Journal OF
American Water Works Association
Due to the nature OF the water
in this valley, iron and steel Will
corrode quickly experts have learn
ed. Cleaning of pipes has proved
but a temporary relief program
Experiments and projects over the
nation have proved that cement
Innings protect the pipes from cor
rosiye attack, thus maintaining the
pipes full carrying capacities.
LIFE OF MAINS
The average life of a water main
in Ell Centre approximates 40 years,
according to Bruce Harkness, en-
gineering representative OF the
Contracting Andover, Mass, COM
pany. AS a yard stick, he said, this
compares to most water engineers
Imperial Valley press., 1944-03-13

during the past few weeks were as
high as 300 per cent. Further tests
in conjunction with the fire de-
partment on other four and six
inch mains are contemplated.
CITE ADVANTAGES
City officials believe the main
advantages of this project are;
Full fire protection; pumping costs
reduced to a minimum and higher
resultant pressure; better tasting
and cooler water elimination OF
continued cleaning; a saving OF
approximately 60 per cent of the
value OF the pipelines; elimination
of risks of contamination due to
leaky joints as pipe joints become
sealed up with the cement thus
making a continual line.
Heinecke, after last years project
was completed, reported that the
fire department was enabled to put
hydrants into use previously use
less in the case of heavy fire fight
ing equipment and utilities and
large water users were able to
abandon use of booster equipment
This years program is aimed to
further extend those benefits OF a
definite water pressure and flow.
