Package Store Owners
 Escape Prosecution
0iiclaI Immunity From Loss of Permits Expected By Act of Legislature Counsel Confident of Approval

reliable reports from Hartford. Im- munity from loss of permits and from prosecution iS advocated in a bill now before the general as. sembly. presented by Attorney Thomas J. Spellacy. and it Is con- fdently expected that this bill will receive the endorsement of the judiciary committee.
 The bill will affect about 400 package store proprietors in the state who openly violated the state regulations while the test case was being decided. The violations consisted of sale of liquor in auan. titles smaller than that allowed by law or package stores and of sale after hours. The package store men at the time contended that they should have rights equal to those of drug stores.
 The laws were violated while an injunction secured against the state liquor control commission was in effect. The bill will be so phrased that only the 400 who participated in the test case will be given i'm. munity. Others may lose their permits or be prosecuted in the criminal courts.
 At the time the case was being decided, the courts recommended that no action be taken against the violating package stores.
