Sergeant John Pekelo, head of the Metro squad that led the raid, said the drag race activities at the Industrial Park have been under police scrutiny for time" and "always draw a large crowd." Pekelo and some other officers were staked out last night in anticipation of a race. Shortly after 1 a.m. the race began and the squad moved in to make arrests.

The officers caught 38 adults and 29 juveniles, including several young women. All were parked in their cars watching a race down a wide straight street between two "draggers." The racers eluded police. Pekelo said the spectators were in some 20 cars and that all were escorted in a caravan to the Pearl City Station for booking.

property in Chile and restore diplomatic relations with Cuba. "We have obtained a truly immense victory. I receive this mandate of the people with humility," the lanky, mild-mannered Frei told cheering thousands in a balcony speech. "In this hour there are no winners and no losers. My desire is to be President of all Chileans," he said.

"This is a triumph not only for those who voted for me but for all believing in liberty and that justice which is a sacred bond for all Chile," he added.

And the Governor, he indicated, is waiting for his committee's report. A member of the site committee, asked about his group's status, replied: "That's a good question. "The committee is still intact," he added, "but has had no meetings at all." The last one was about six months ago, he said. He conceded that no conclusions had been reached because of political pressures, and expressed concern over this.

At least 15 persons died, 35 are missing and feared dead and 250 were hurt. The Weather Bureau said it was the first typhoon in two decades to pass directly over Hong Kong. Twenty-seven persons were reported missing when the ship Dorar sank in Hong Kong Harbor. Thirty members of the crew were rescued.

Police and emergency service forces dug frantically at many collapsed homesites in hopes of rescuing families buried inside. A spokesman said the continuing heavy downpour probably would cause more landslides and house collapses. Ruby passed directly over Hong Kong and swept towards the Pearl River, heading for Canton in Communist China, according to the Weather Bureau. It was one of the worst to hit Hong Kong in years.

Guam College buildings alone housed more than 1,000 evacuees. Power was out in some areas. Last reports said Sally was moving northwesterly over Guam at 15 miles an hour.

reaction to the roadblocks was "good" and "cooper-tive." They found that 150 drivers had been drinking, but only two that had to be sent home by taxi or with a friend. They issued 15 tags, most for driver license violations. A tabulation of tags issued by regular patrolmen was not available today. One motorist, caught in a Waikiki roadblock, was seen tossing a six-pack of beer out his car window. Similar roadblocks will be maintained throughout the weekend.

The spacecraft also failed to "lock" on the earth when ordered. The satellite immediately was put on a "hold" position. This will conserve the control gases while the tele-metery data is analyzed. NASA officials described the launch itself as flawless.

However, grinding continued through the day, he said, and mill backlogs were caught up. Gomez said management is, studying the grievance, which he did not identify. "It is clear that Hawaii has claim to jurisdiction. This was never removed, Padgett argued. "The waters belong to the people and the State of Hawaii." He referred to the Senate committee report accompanying the Admission Act which said the State would be comprised of all the Islands and the territorial waters.

Of course, the question concerns the definition of the "territorial waters," he said. "But I can't believe Prize Recipe Contest Entry Deadline Tonight CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP) OGO a giant mon- ster-trom-Mars type satel- lite, whirled through space on a near-pertect oroit today while scientists tried to figure out a way to put it to work. Information relayed back to Earth by telemetry showed that one long boom, one short boom, and the omnidirectional radio antenna failed to deploy. Scientists of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration decided today not to turn on any of OGO's 20 scientific experiments un- til Monday night.

ry question is of far greater importance to the people of Hawaii who should have jurisdiction of their Island channels. Padgett argued that the State claim to the waters goes back to a Hawaiian statute of 1846 which said that the Islands and the intervening waters were part of the Kingdom of Hawaii. The law was later repealed, he admitted, but said nothing was ever put in its place regarding the boundaries of Hawaii. Georgia In Road A I ELSVILLE, Ga.

Presently, the minimum or starting salary for Class III teachers is only $389 a month.

The new figures coincide with what Civil Service em-' Federal Judge Martin Pence took the Hawaii boundary question under advisement yesterday as four hours of arguments wrapped up the current Sky Bus case. Judge Pence is expected to hand down his decision sometime next week on the boundary determination asked by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The final hearing trig-g strong arguments from both sides on the thorny issue of Federal-versus-State control of inter-island waters. The U.S. Government supported by intervenors Aloha and Hawaiian Airlines contend the waters beyond the three-mile limit are international.

Island Air Lines, which wants to operate cut-rate Sky Bus service but lacks Federal Civil Aeronautics Board approval, says the waters belong to the State of Hawaii. Frank Padgett, I.A.L. attorney, in summation referred to the magnitude of the boundary decision to be determined. "This goes far beyond Island Air Lines," he said, "Right now it is the C.A.B. and State jurisdiction.
