He said talks with Gov. Stanley
of Virginia had convinced him
that I'VE are in mutual agree
Iment and are assisting each
other in seeking solutions
with all possible promptness."
The Maryland executive at the
same time dashed out at county
authorities in his own State who
licensed "a river2borne liquor
dispensary to flout the alcoholic
beverage laws Of Virginia. He
referred to Charles County's &C
ton to permit the sale of liquor
by the drink on boat anchored
of Freestone Point, Va, in Mary
land waters.
More Control Sought
Gov. McKeldin said he had
asked the legislative council to
develop legislation which will
give the State government more
control over commercial enter
|prises on the Potomac"
The legislative council is the
interim branch Of the Maryland
General Assembly.
In his attack on the Charles
County licensing authorities,
Gov. McKeldin said his strong
protest at the time of the Free
stone Point incident had dis
couraged st. Mary's County au-
thorities in two instances.
There was a difference. how
ever. he added. The licensing
board in st. Mary's is appointed
by the Governor, whereas in
Charles it derives its authority
from the county.

Maryland conservation laws on
the Potomac, Gov. McKeldin re-
called that 'in too many in
stances Potomac poachers
escaped apprehension by Mary
land authorities and rushed to
surrender to officials in (Virginia)
where. all too frequently, the
sentences by Virginia courts were
insufficient to discourage repe-
titions of the crimes"
A l785 compact between Vir-
ginia and Maryland for Joint adj
ministration of the conservation
laws Of the, Potomac has now
been abrogated by Maryland,
and Virginia intends to test the
abrogation in the courts, Gov.
McKeldin said.
Expects Court Support
This is as it should be-" he
added, "if the courts confirm the
abrogation, there will be no real
loser. We have no desire and
no intention of depriving law
abiding Virginians of the right
to harvest oysters in the Poto-
mac"
A law has been enacted to
assure Virginians of the right to
hunt and fish in the Potnmac
but under Maryland licenses.
If 1t should happen that the
courts cancel out Maryland's
act Of abrogation. we will be
right back where we started and
new interstate conferences and
agreements leading to better law
enforcement will be in order
I feel confident. however, that
the abrogation will be upheld"
Gov. McKeldin said.

nomination in the July Q pri-
mary.
His decision to withdraw
prompted by charges Of peddling
his influence to help sell life in
surance made against him last
month by groups Of insurance
underwriters II left Democratic
leaders wondering how best to
choose a successor.
1t is now too late to get any,
one else's name on the primary
ballot, but there are two ways a
candidate may be named. The
Democratic State Central Com
mittee can cali a party conven-
ton to make the nomination or
the Central Committee can name
the candidate itself.
Decision Due Soon
There were indications today
no time would be lost before a
decision is made on which Of the
two courses the party will adopt.
Thomas H. Blanton Of Bowl
ing Green, State Democratic
chairman. said he planned to go
to Richmond early this week.
perhaps today, to confer with
Gov. Stanley and Attorney Gen.
eral j. Lindsay Almond, jr. Mr..
Blanton said he didn't know
when a meeting of the State
Central Committee might be
called.
Mr.. Gilmer's dramatic an
nouncement Of his withdrawal
Saturday night was no great
surprise to many high party
leaders. but its timing seemed
unexpected. Nobody was found
who would admit he knew the
withdrawal was coming.
Mr.. Gilmer had been accused
six weeks ago by the Virginia
Association of Life Underwriters
of selling his influence by writing
letters that recommended a pol
icy Of the National Old Line In
surance Co. Of Little Rock. Ark.
'Unwarranted Attack
In his statement of withdrawal
Mr.. Gilmer called the action Of
the life underwriters an "un-
justified and unwarranted at
tack"
He said it was apparent that
q certain segment of the life un-
derwriters and others are deter.
mined to becloud the basic
issues" of the election campaign
