Did he say that he was re sponsible for the treatment he re ceived?" Wilkins snapped. "Did he say that he was criticized be cause he called the audience burr-heads' or did he otherwise tell why he was treated as he was? The NAACP is not going to issue an apology to Mr. Mere dith," Wilkins said. "If anybody is going to do any aplogozing, it should be him for making such statements," Becomes Lift Member Meredith said he became a life member of the NAACP Friday night. . , "Those cost $500, don't they?" the reporter asked , Yes, lhats what It cost me," Meredith said, "and I intend to keep active in the association.
