RYANWork is under way on a second Owens River aqueduct, destined for completion early in 1970 at an estimated cost of $105,000,000, to provide a 50% increase in the flow of water drawn from snow-fed streams and lakes in the High Sierras. The project is being carried forward without interruptions and delays such as marked expansion of the firstaqueduct against savage resistance that led to dynamiting forays years ago byCitizens Help Trap Hit-Run Driver 14; Thanked by PolicePolice Capt. Paul Gillen, commander of West Valley Division, yesterday issued public thank you to several unidentified motorists and citizens who participated in the chase and arrest Monday of a 14-year-old youth who became involved in three successive traffic accidents, two of them hit and run.I wish to thank the many anonymous citizens who became involved in the chase and apprehension of the boy,” Gillen said.‘Without them we never could have arrested youth,” he said.Gillen was a witness to the second accident at Lindley Ave. and Roscoe Blvd. a few minutes after the youth struck another car and fled the scene at Lindley Ave. and Saticoy St.The youth fled both accidents, the second occurring at Continued on Page 12Dr. Horlon to Head Valley College; McNefis ResignsTwo Valley educators were appointed to college presidencies yesterday by the Los Angeles City Board of Education, it was announced at a meeting of the Board.Dr. Robert E. Horton was appointed to Valley College, and Dr. Morris J. Heldman, dean of admissions and guidance at Pierce College, was named president of the new West Los Angeles College, which will open next February.Horton replaces William J. McNelis, who has resigned.His resignation becomes ef fective July 12.Dr. Horton was graduated in 1932 from Hollywood High School and won a Bachelor of arts degree in mathematics in 1936 from UCLA. He has other degrees and honors, and hashad an impressive military career.He retired from military service as a lieutenant colonel in the USAF.Holds Chemistry PhDHis wife is Mrs. Flora Mae Horton, and he has been an instructor of business at Glendale College until recently.Dr. Heldman has a PhD from USC in chemistry which he obtained in 1948. He was dean of instruction at Los Angeles Metropolitan College be-; fore going to Pierce in 1966.Heldman, of Los Angeles, is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He lives in Los Angeles.McNelis. resigned his position to take a position with Continued on Page 12mountain people who feared Los Angeles was about to steal all their water.Some people now express doubt as to the equity of dipping deeper into the water resource of an ideal ranching and recreational area but a visitor to the Water and Power Dept.’s vast domain 300 miles away observes only an abundantly watered and prosperous land.Northern PointLos Angeles with an area of 4G0 square miles is not much larger than the 301,000-acre estate owned and controlled by the department to insure growth and prosperity for both the city and its dependents along U.S. Highway 395 winding northerly through the picturesque Mojave Desert and Owens Valley.One can fly with the crow due east from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and arrive at the most northerly unit of the Owens River Aqueduct system at Lee Vin-ing Creek.There, near the Nevada state line 339 miles from the San Fernando Valley, such a flight could land one on the easterly side of Yosemite Park and close by the saline and practically lifeless Mono Lake.Read Nature’s RecordNorthbound autoists on Highway 395 usually are in a hurry, headed most likely for Crowley Lake, Convict Lake, Mammoth Lakes or June Lake, unaware they are speeding over a geologically jand historically exciting land.One should proceed leisurely with the idea of reading nature’s record of what volcanoes and avalanches have done in fashioning a great valley for the benefit of men who came to mine and to cut timber and build cities.David C. Slocum Goes to IllinoisAirman David C. Slocum, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence L. Slocum of 25088 Wiley Canyon Road, Newhall, has completed basic training at Amarillo AFB, Tex.He has been assigned to the Air Force Technical Training Center at Chanute AFB, 111., for specialized schooling as an aircraft equipment repairman.Visible from the highwayseveral miles above the town of Mojave is a part of the first aqueduct known as the Jawbone Siphon, comprising 7095 feet of varying diameter pipeline with a bottom wall thickness of one and one-eighth inches, and also part of the second aqueduct.Point of interest Near the highway is the Haiwee Reservoir where soil conditions provide such natural purification as to meet public health standards with no other treatment necessary other than chlorination. Outstanding point of interest Continued 011 Page 12The final batch of signatures needed to qualify the initiative didn’t reach Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan’s office in Sacramento until lute yesterday afternoon.The initiative provides that the total tax burden on all property would be limited to 1% of market value for property-related services, those provided by counties, cities and special districts, beginning July 1, 1969.Misses PlaneIt also provides for a 20%-a-year phaseout of the tax burden for people-related services, the costs of education and welfare, so that by July 1, 1973, schools and welfare would no longer be supported by property taxes. The limit can be exceeded only for existing and future bond and longterm lease charges.The signed and certified petitions with 44,313 signatures from San Diego County were hand-carried by a worker who missed her plane.Without the San Diego petition, the initiative would have failed to have the required 520,276 signatures needed to qualify in November.As it turned out 558,830 signatures were certified, with Continued on Page 12civic and tions, according to Stanley Silver, director of parks and recreation.The displays, which comply with state and city firelaws, 'ii In mi it itrained pyro-terhnicians.An estimated 5000 spectators are expected to attend.

A Litton-operated postal service would be an example of the quasi-public company. A multi-national company would see an American firm operating 50-50 joint ventures in other nations, instead of supplying all of the capital.Center for all business — and practically everything else — will be the computer, and management will have only two organizational functions: Planning and monitoring.“Beyond planning programs and checking to see that they work properly, everything else will be done by computer,” said Basil.Fewer on Farms The technology will continue to improve our efficiency in everything from farming to manufacturing.“Three per cent of our population will produce all our food,” the USC educator foresees. “Already we are producing agricultural surpluses with only 7.5% of American workers tilling the land.”The work force required for manufacturing will drop from %, at present, to about 20% due to the constant increase in the efficiency of big business. Small firms may still exist, said the USC professor, but not even to the diminished extent we see them today.
