THE greater responsibility for
citizens to have their civil rights

Legislation"
He said his main concern Is see

be treated as a human being, to
have the right Of life and property
protected.
The objective I have in mind Is
to make the rights guaranteed by

At a press conference in Chi
cago, he said that he had been
told by "either the attorney-gen-
eral or justice department" that
the federal government had no
authority to post guards at the
Meredith home in Kosciusko.
Meanwhile, Medgar Evers, field
secretary for the NAACP here,
said the FBI indicated it would
enter the investigation.
Two shotgun slugs and a charge
Of pellets ripped into the Meredith
home early Dec. %, narrowly miss
ing Meredith's teenage sister, and
another blast struck a pickup
truck parked near the house. The
shots were fired shortly after
midnight from a passing car.
Meredith's elderly parents and
sister live in the house. All three
were at home but escaped injur-
les. His parents were asleep and
his sister, Willie Lou, 18, was
cooking a snack after returning
from a high school dance. The
sister said she ducked behind the
refrigerator as the blasts crashed
through the kitchen window, shat
tering glass over the stove she
was using.
Meredith, 29-year-old Air Force
veteran, cut short a holiday trip
to New York and Chicago and
headed back to Mississippi when
he heard Of the attack. He was
visiting in the home of comedian
Dick Gregory in Chicago when he
learned of the incident. Accom-
panying him were his wife, Mary
and their son, John, 8.
you just can't convict white
people for doing these things"
said Meredith, speaking to news
men in Chicago. IT'S not my prob
lem; it's a problem of all Amer
leans" He spoke while waiting to
fly to Mississippi.
why should they use my IL
year-old father, my mother and
my 1s-year-old baby sister for re-
taliation against me?" he asked.
They are not going to the Univ
ersity of Mississippi"
my father is good citizen. He
raised 10 kids-sent them all to
high school. It's a shame he has
to live II years and then not be
able to sleep.
The courageous Meredith said
his father has not been able to
sleep in peace since the outbreak
Of violence-a night Of rioting that
killed two - following his entry
to the university under federal
guards Sept 80.
IT'S q very serious thing"
Meredith declared
The shooting was the second at
the home In the last three months.
Meredith's sister said several shots
were fired outside the house on the
night Of Oct. 1, Just . few hours
after her brother had enrolled at
Ole Miss.
Meredith, while addressing Chi
cago newsmen, said he didn't hold
much hope that local authorities
would take action to solve the
night attack on his parents home.
"I definitely think that some
law enforcement agency Is re-
sponsible for protecting every cit-
izen, including Negroes"
In response to questions. Mere
dith said he intended to return TO
the Ole Miss campus after the
Christmas holidays. He denied re-
ports that he might be oustsd

ated by Martin Luther King as a
variation to a boycott. The differ
ence between the two Is more than
semantic.
A boycott has the negative ap-
proach Of not doing business with
a commercial organization that
does not meet the groups approx
al. The more positive "selective
patronage" technique is to do bus
mess with those who cooperate in
the achievement Of the groups
goals. 80.
However, the result so far as the
non cooperative businessman is
concerned is the same In either
case - loss Of business.
The plan was launched by a
group Of Negro clergymen. Their
goal Is to build an informal ma
tonal network to use the Me-
groes' purchasing power systemati-
cally to force concerns that dis
criminate in hiring and promotion
to mend their ways.
The "selective patronage" plan
is most highly developed here In
Philadelphia, where 1t has been
operating with remarkable results
for two years. 1t has already
spread to New York, where the
first boycott began three weeks
ago, to Chicago, Detroit, Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati and Wilmington,
Del.
Participants have announce d
that it will start soon in Atlanta.
The ministers expect the idea to
take hold in every major city with
a Negro population large enough
to make its economic power felt
A feature that distinguishes the
plan from earlier boycotts is that
there is nothing hit-or-miss about
it. The new concept of non-leader-
ship advanced by the clergyment
seems to fit the needs of the pro-
gram.
The advocates of the plan have
MT overlooked educational needs.
They are encouraging voluntary
programs with the Negro commun-
ity to raise the educational Level
Of Negroes so they may qualify
for the new jobs that become avail
able through "selective patronage
or otherwise.
The final phase OF the program
which is just under way on an ex,
perimental basis In Philadelphia
Is the acquisition through small
savings clubs of capital that will
be used to start enterprises such
as stores or garden apartment de,
velopments as examples of inte'
grated operation.
The originators Of the program
here realized that its effect, would
depend on the ministers ability tc
persuade their congregations on q
mass basis to stop buying a given
product and to pass the word
among non-churchgoers as well
This ability, in turn, would depend
on the high standing and mora
authority of each minister with his
parishioners.
The originators believed that tc
undermine the ministers authority
by making it appear that they
were taking orders from someone
else might be the programs undo
ing. So they decided there would

out Of st. Jerome's Greek.
They found the blues at the
edge Of the ships channel off
of Smith Point and caught so
of them. All Of these fish went
from 4 to 6 pounds, according
to Thomas. But these blues
were cuties like most of those
in the Bay this year and the
party lost a number of fish.
The unusual run Of cobia
apparently is continuing down
around Kilmarnock, Va.
A party from the Washing
ton area, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Lett and Robert Lett and Rus
sell Lett caught five Of them
on a recent trip out Of Kill
marnock with Capt. Diller
Harding.
In addition to the five
boated the party lost four
others. Robert Lett landed a
fish that weighed SO pounds.
Charles Lett got a 49-pounder
and one that weighed Is
pounds. Russell Lett had a
citation fish Of 48 pounds and
Mrs. Lett had a 20-pounder.
The fish we're attracted by

Gated perch fishing was excel
lent in the area, says that there
was literally hundreds of boats
off Holland Point Sunday and
as far as he could see no one

Hardheads Bitino
In Wicomico

One Of the best bits of news
for bottom fishermen in a long
time reached this desk today.
Apparently hardheads in
large numbers have moved into
the Wicomico River near Cobb
Island In an area between st.
Margarets Island and Rock
Point.
The fish were located by
John Shymansky, who operates
Capt. Johns Crab House and
Marina on Cobb Island. He and
Dave Terrell, also of Cobb Is
land, took a small cupboard
from the marina for some bot
tom fishing about 5 pm.
The hardheads started Bit
ing almost Immediately and
continued until the two fisher
men decided to call it quits at
4 am.
Shymansky said he weighed
his catch and 1t came to ITO
pounds. The croakers were all
between 2 and 4 pounds and
were caught while drifting in
20 to Is feet Of water.
''It was the first time / have
seen any hardheads like this
in our area in at least is years,
Shymansky said. Recently we
would consider ourselves lucky
II we were able to get two OF
three a season.

ALMOST TAKES PERFECTION TO WIN
Potomac Squadron Navigators
Are Getting Just Too Sharp
BY WHEELER JOHNSON
outdoor Editor


It's getting so a navigator
has to be practically perfect or
1t is no use to enter a contest
any more.
The Potomac River Power
Squadron has been holding
navigatorS' contests for a num-
Der of years now, but seldom
have its members seen any
thing like the one Sunday at
the Lord Calvert Marina Just
outside Solomons, Md.
If you missed getting your
boat in with a margin of error
over a half a minute-well you
had to be content with ninth
place or worse.
Navigators who came across
the finish line and were con-
graduating themselves because
their calculations showed they
had error margins Of only a
few seconds, were shocked to
find they had finished way down
the list after the committee
boat had finished its work.
1t was John Fagan's Marie II
that finally wrapped up the
coveted Glenn Parmalee tro-
ply with a record Of only 2
seconds late at the finish line.
1t Was Close
That means Pagan and his
crew were able to run the Marie
II over 5 prescribed legs Of a
course and then plot a sixth
leg that put them home within
2 seconds Of the time allotted
in the sealed orders they OPEN
ed 5 minutes before starting
out.
But they barely made the
grade at that, because right
behind them with an error of
only 4 seconds late was the
Sea Pony, skippered by Nelson
Lyle, and q second off Of that
pace came Potomac's comman-
der, William W. Chambers.
whose Colonel III finished only
5 seconds late.
This was the Last Chance
Navigator's Contest, now a ira
ditional affair with Potomac
and 1t is run, as the name i'm
plies, on the final rendezvous /
Of the summer. The meeting at
the mouth of the Patuxent
drew one of the biggest turn
outs Of Power Squadron yachts
men in years with about 40
boats docking at the Lord CAL
vert for the session which began
with games and entertainment
for the youngsters Saturday
afternoon, progressed with a
huge crab feast In the after
noon and an impromptu dance
Saturday night and wound I'D
with the contest and flag-rais-
ing Sunday. Helping to swell
the total were a number of
