The order will not limit the
amount a household may consume
nor restrict the number of times he
may recorder when his supply drops
below so per cent. Coal dealers,
rather than the Government, will
administer the program.
The restriction is temporary
affair, and may be dropped or ex-
tended later. depending upon the
coal supply picture, the spokesman
said. Although OPA has studied
plans for coal rationing, If that
proves necessary, aides of Mr.. Ickes
said that mechanical difficulties
make 1t virtually impossible to ra-
ton coal by coupon, and predicted
that nothing more rigid than the
new delivery restrictions would be
applied
The ration area prescribed by Mr..
Ickes was understood. to take in the

leum shortage area" and the Dis

0PA Plugs Legal Loopho|e
To Hold Down Liquor Price

BY the Associated Press.
The Office of Price Administration
today plugged a legal loophole that
might have permitted increases in
wine and LIQUOR prices in some
States under the lately Issued max
imum beverage price order, sched-
uled to become effective August 30.
The original price schedule per-
mitted 1914 per cent markups over
net costs as the maximum retail
price for distilled spirits, a so per
cent markup for wines and a As per
cent markup for cordials, liqueurs
and specialties.
Regional OPA offices, in the
amendment issued today, will have
full authority to make downward
revisions of allowable markups
where it is found that these mark
ups would permit wholesalers or
retailers TO obtain an excessive mar
gin.
OPA officials explained that in
some States, liquor merchants were
doing business under lower mark
ups than we're authorized under
the price structure effective Au-
gust 30.
The loophole-plugging amendment
lnstructS regional OPA Offices to
consider the margin prevailing in
the State involved in March, 1912"

Naval sea-air power will continue

clared today.

Since the day OF the Pearl Hsr-

fighting sea and air power has been
employed in the Pacific theater and
will remain there until Tojos final
day is done.
There has, of course, been con-
siderable naval activity in the At

guarding our coast lines, safeguard
ing troops and equipment to for

Cool Spell 10 Remain
Over Week End; Rain
Too Late TO Aid Crops

FaL-like weather was in store for
Washington for the week end as the
thermometer dropped to 81 degrees
this morning in the wake of violent
thunderstorm which failed. however,
to break the summer long drought
in this area.
The Weather Bureau forecast was
TO lower temperatures this afternoon
and tonight. with moderate winds.
The 64-degree low occurred at Tam.
today and followed a high of IS de-
grees yesterday at 5:45 pm.
The thunderstorm, accompanied
by a brilliant display of lightning,
struck the city around $50 pm. and
soon thereafter the thermometer be-
gan to fall.
At the National Airport weather
station, only 18 hundredths of an
inch of rain was recorded. 1t was
the heaviest rain since July 20, but
was insufficient to be of any material
aid to gardens, the majority of which
are beyond hope now. No further
rain was in sight
Lightning struck the cupola of a
home at 459 Massachusetts, avenue

Supreme Court Test
indicated in Hawaiian
Habeas Writ Dispute
BY the Associated Press.

by Jne Associated Press.
Discussion among Justice. War
and Interior Department officials
pointed today toward a court test
on the controversy between military
and civilian authorities in Hawaii
over Army suspension Of the writ
OF habeas corpus.
The procedure most discussed. 1t
was learned, would bring the matter
into court through a request to 1t.
Gen. Robert C. Richardson. jr..
commander of the Army Hawaiian
Department, to withdraw his order
against further judicial action. That
could bring the matter before Fed
eral Judge Delbert Metzger, whose
writ of habeas corpus the general
refused to obey, and eventually to
the Supreme Court.
Judge and General Clash.
The case developed when Gen.
Richardson refused to obey the writ
issued for two American citizens of
German ancestry held incommuni-
cado by the Army since shortly
after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
The judge assessed against Gen.
Richardson a 5000 fine for con-
tempt of court. and the general fol-
lowed with an order prohibiting fur
ther litigation of the case, imposing
a $4,000 fine on violators, and pro-
viding for trial before a provost
court OF any judge violating the
order.
Some powers were restored to
civilian authorities in the islands
early this year after more than a
year OF military government, but the
order by the territory's civilian Gov
ernor, Ingram M. Stainback, speci-
f1cally withheld restoration of the
right of habeas corpus. Judge
Metzger took the position that the
right of habeas corpus necessarily
must accompany restoration Of
other civil functions.
Discussions here were understood
to hinge on the contention that the
courts had the right to inquire
whether there were any facts on
which military authorities reason
ably could base a belief that modi-
fled martial law should remain in
effect.
officials upholding that view said
there was a possibility the courts
would uphold suspension of the
right of habeas corpus, but argued
that the general should bring the
men into court to permit a test OF
the constitutionality of military
rule.
Congress Action Possible.
There was also discussion of re-
ferring the whole matter to the
White House, or to Congress.
One member of Congress, Senator
Downey, Democrat, of California. a
member Of the Senate Military At
fairs Committee, said he intended
to make a personal inquiry into the
question of suspension OF the writ.
Supreme Court Test.
Officials who have examined legal
precedents for suspension of the writ
OF habeas corpus, by which a man
is guaranteed his day in his coun-
try's civilian courts, cite a law of
March 8. 1868, in which Congress au-
thorized President Lincoln to sus-
pend the writ. The congressional
authority supported a proclamation
issued by Mr.. Lincoln the preceding
year,
