In an inlervicw with a United
Press International reporter, Mer

early this morning since I was n
child. Throughout all of the other
ordeals that I have encountered,
I was able to maintain my com
posure. "However, the discourtesy
shown mo last night by the group
before which I had been Invited
to speak, overwhelmed me. My
makeup cannot endure this kind
of Intolerance and stand to be so
dishonored by my own people,"
Meredith said.
Group Rebukes Moredlth
Morccitiii's remarks to an
NAACP youth group resulted In i
sharp hassle. Meredith was rn

scolding. His main point was that
certain Negro youth leaders have
not acted responsibly.
Immediately aflcr the UPI re
porter left, Meredith's hotel room,
the newsman, encountered Roy
Wilkins, executive secretary of
the NAACP. The reporter told
Wilkins of Meredith's complaint.
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.
"I don t know wlint my role will
be, of course, and that will de
pend to a great extent on the as
sociation, he said. "But 1 don t
intend to subject myself to such
treatment as I received Inst night
from any group, black, white, or
otherwise, anywhere, anytime. "
Meredith said his treatment will
cause him to mako an early de
parture from the convention due
to end today.
"1 had planned to stay here
overnight," he said, "but now I
am going back as soon as I can.
1 have a plane ticket but I'm not
going to tell anybody how I'm go
ing back or exactly what time. I
will get my wife out of here and

Mrs. Meredilh was In the tiny
room of the Morrison Hotel, head
quarters for the convention, dur

clad In a T-shirt and shorts. He
sat on a rumpled twin bed. Mrs
Meredith was In the other bed,
with blnnkets to her shoulders.
She said nothing throughout the
interview, except gnodhy to the
reporter.
Unablt To Slttp
"I haven't been able to sleep for
worrying," Meredith said. "T li o
ordeals 1 have encountered in
clude my parents and relatives
being shot at and una of my best
friends being murdered.
"Hut somehow I was able to
maintain my composure," he
said. "Hut this thing last night
was just ton much.
"If wo are to take on the same
characteristics of our oppressors
