Atty. Beverage dispensaries and retail liquor stores operating under the new Territorial law must confine themselves strictly to the sale of liquors as provided for under their licenses, and will not be permitted to sell anything else, according to an opinion today by Attorney Gen- eral James S.. Truitt, concurred in by the District Attorney, William A. Holzheimer, This means, according to the of- ficials, that liquor stores which sell cigarettes, cigars, tobacco, candy, gum and other such articles, will} have to discontinue the practice im- | mediately and confine their business| solely to liquor if they expect to retain their licenses. { “It is our interpretation that the| law means just what it says,” said the District Attorney, “and the lsw; will be strictly enforced on that| premise until such time as the court rules otherwise, if or when it‘ does. Officers have been instructed to enforce the law strictly and vio-! lators will be prosecuted in accord- l ance with the law and steps taken to revoke licenses of those violators.” Several requests of opinion on the| law has been asked with the result! that the officials made known their, decision today.

RADIO CA HEARD LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 3.— Repeated radio calls “SOS” and “KHAQQ," the latter the call let- ters of the ‘Earhart plane, were heard for several minutes shortly after 1:30 a.m. today. Two hours later the same feeble messages, with the figures 1-7-9 and 1-6, the latter believed to have been 16, were picked out of the air. The first figure is believed to represent the longitude and the latter the latitude but the receivers are un- able to say whether west or east longitude or north or south lati- tude. | Where Believed Down ‘ The position would place the plane down between 100 and 200 [mues from Howland Island, near | the equator. | PST yesterday,, when the fliers re- "ported they could not sight the island and were nearly out of gas. The plane is believed to have been | then within 100 miles of Howland | Island. | BATTLESHIP ORDERED OUT WASHINGTON, July 3. — The | Navy has ordered the battleship! | Colorado, which arrived at Hono- lulu yesterday, and carries three planes, to procced to Howland being damaged.” The plane carried a quickly in- flatable two-man rubber life boat, life belts and flares, also a special pistol to attract rescue ships at night. A large yellow signal kite is for use in daytime. A special radio equipment provides commun= icatlon from the water. Afloat Indefinitely Paul Manz, Earhart’s technical adviser, said: “The plane should float almost indefinitely. The tanks are sealed when they are empty and act like big drums attached to a raft.” Lieut. Frank Johnson, of the Coast Guard Headquarters here, said: “If down 100 nautical miles northeast of Howland Island the ocean drift should carry the two fliers into the trading 300 miles westward in MEALS NAMED TO NEW POSTS |the “ads” are also a pretty good Channel fans over the holiday week Island and join the search for the | Appointment of John T.

He said | the two may have over-corrected I their course for trade winds at one extreme of the correction on their| plotted course and may have gone | as far as 180 miles south because | of southeast trade winds in June which average 23 to 28 miles an hour. A pilot would be required to steer a right course to allow a drift angle of about 8 degrees. The winds may have died down during | the night.
