Explorer .
Honored

President Kennedy today pre-
sented the National Geograph-
ic Society's Special Gold Medal
to Capt. Jacques-Yves Cous-
teau, the noted undersea ex-
plorer.
At a noon ceremony in the
White House, the President
honored the former French
naval officer with a medal
which read: ITO earthbound
man he gave the key to the
Silent World"
Capt. Cousteau has pioneered
in the development Of ingenious
apparatus-including the aqua
lung, the jet-propelled diving
saucer, and a 65-foot inflatable
boat-in his undersea explora-
tions. Since 1852, his oceano-
graphic expeditions on his
noted ship, Calypso, have been
sponsored by National Geo.
graphic Society and French
scientific organizations.
Among his accomplishments
has been the discovery on the
floor of the Mediterranean of
the remains Of a 2,200-year-o old
Greek cargo ship. He and his
divers were able to bring up
much of its ancient cargo of
wine jars and dinnerware.
His book, The Silent
World" and his full-length
documentary film of the same
name have been popular.
The tradition of Presidents
awarding medals to explorers
dates to 1906 when President
Theodore Roosevelt presented
the National Geographic Hub
bard Medal to Commander
Robert E. Peary, the Arctic
explorer.
T Guests at the White House
ceremony included DR.. Melville
Bell Grosvenor, president and
editor of National Geographic; i;
French Ambassador Herve AL
phand and his wife; and Nine.
Cousteau, the explorers wife.

Legislators Back
Sitter Law on
Drunk Driving

RICHMOND. Va. Oct. 81
(AP).-The Virginia Advisory
Legislative Council recon-
mended today that the Gen
eral Assembly enact an implied
consent drunk driving law.
Under the proposal, any per-
son driving on the highways
would be deemed to have con-
sented to a blood alcohol test
if arrested for drunk driving.
Refusing to take the test would
mean automatic revocation of
the drivers permit.
A similar bill failed to pass
the 1850 General Assembly.
The VALC said the most
important reason" for the i'm
piled consent law is its tire
mendouS deterrent force"
In its report to the Assembly
and Gov. Almond, the VALC
said: Drinking drivers recog-
nize, respect and fear the blood
test. This is illustrated by the
decreasing number Of persons
arrested for operating motor
vehicles while under the influ-
ence of intoxicants who con-
sent to the voluntary blood
test"
The VALC suggested that a
drivers license be suspended
for go days on the first refusal
to take the test. The license
would be lifted for six months
upon the second or subsequent
refusal within one year.

ern Virginia, primarily because
of the difficulty prosecutors
have in interpreting the stat
utes.
For instance, the Virginia
Code notes that under laws
similar to those now in effect
in the State, courts have for
hidden the sale Of Coca-Cola on
Sunday but declined to pre-
vent the sale of beer.
The present statutes express
ly sanction sale Of mobile
homes" on the Sabbath, but
cast considerable doubt on
whether real estate statesmen
may sell or even show houses.
There also is doubt about the
legality Of leaving coin-oper-
ated laundromats open on Sun
day.

Call Session
On Cafe Bias
By a Star Staff Writer

BALTIMORE, Oct. 21-Gov.
Tawes declined again today
to call a special session of the
General Assembly to enact leg
islation to bar hotels and res
taurants from discriminating
against Negroes, but he praised
the Maryland Restaurant As
ISOLATION for supporting such
a law.
The restaurant group this
week asked the Governor to call
a special session to enact a
so-called equal accommoda-
tons" law.
In a reply to the association
today, Tawes said he was
pleased with the action" taken
by the restaurant association
and said that sit was Just this
kind Of support that I have
been working quietly to OBJ
tain ever since the first Incl
dent on Route 40 made it clear
to me that Marylanders need
ed to reappraise their position
on public accommodations"
The Governor said he be-
lieves there is considerable
evidence that the climate of
opinion in Maryland on this
question is more favorable
than it has ever been"
He said he does not believe
there is sufficient evidence to
warrant a conclusion that such
a bill could be enacted in a
special session" He asked the
restaurant association to pre-
pare a bill and work for its
acceptance by the public and
members Of the General As
sembly.
The Governor has said he ex-
poets legislation to be intro
duced at the regular General
Assembly session in February,
and that If it does not pass
then he might call a special
session later.
