Drummer Ringo Starr said: "J don't care if Mr. Dupuis eats his medal. For once young people get an award. What's wrong with that." A spokesman for the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood, where all honors) are recorded, said any recipient} of an award is entitled to act) as he likes--"it's a free world") --but that recipients' names will still be recorded on the list of MBE's even if they send their insignia back. The spokesman said medals have been returned before for other, "and probably better'; reasons, but this is the first time it has happened "'for a par- ticular reason like this." COULD CHANGE MIND He said if decorations are re- turned to the central chancery) they are always kept and a let-| ter sent to the holder informing him that the award will be held for him in case he changes his mind and wants it back. | Earlier, Sir Ivan de la Bere,| er secretary of the central chancery, said as far as the chancery is concerned "Mr. Du- puis will still have the honor and will still be on the roll." "The only way people can. be struck off the roll is if it is done from this end. In wartime, for example, all people who fight against Britain lose their honors." Reg. Value.
