II never cross anyone out as

said Mr.. Meredith In the tele-

sponsibility to the Nation and
all of my people inarttcu-
late as well as articulate groups.
Intolerance Is bad, no matter

Clarence Mitchell, head of
the NAACP's Washington Bu-
reau. termed Mr.. Mereditla's
convention experience "unfor-
tunate." He said Negroes are
and must be tolerant Of other
Negroes who express what may
be interpreted as moderate
views. 4
"The NAACP recognizes that
1t Is important to give every
body the chance to state his
position" Mr.. Mitchell said.
Mr.. Meredith's reference to
discipline was good because
continued discipline Is Of great
Importance. -"
His statement about burr
heads apparently was an at
tempt at humor and probably
would have won laughs In the
South, but youngsters at the
convention simply saw no hu-

out. The majority of the con-
vention delegates were fair-
minded Mr.. Meredith vas

St@ SeNAA "AAsNA
In retrospect, James Mere
dith's hostile treatment at the
Chicago convention of the
NAACP last week appears to
have been the result of q dou-
BILE misunderstanding: Mr..
Meredith's misunderstanding OF
the temper of the convention
and the conventions misunder-
standing of his intentions.
Mr.. Meredith's speech before
the convention, in which he
criticized "the very low quality
of leadership among our young
Negroes and the childish ma
ture of their activities" was
given an angry reception, and
he was sharply criticized by
NAACP leaders. He said after
wards that his treatm e n
caused him to "shed my first
tears since / was q child
When reached this week al

campus, the young man whose

him a Negro hero, was reluc.

cident.
He did comment, however
that Il have been braced fol
a lot Of things, but I was I'M
prepared for the type of recep-
ton ! received. I prepared my
speech for a responsive audi
ence-for friends. I had expect
ed an audience that was not
hostile. I thought the au-
dience would be in a happy
mood"
No Moderation Mood
Roy wilkins, NAACP execu-
tive secretary, told reporters
that the convention delegates
in Chicago were flush from
the victories" many of them
had achieved throughout the
Nation as a result of their in
tegration efforts. They were
in no mood, he said, to hear
talk of moderation from any,
one.
Mr.. Meredith disavowed any
intention to preach modera-
ton. IF I was (moderate), ]
wouldn't be where / am toCay,"
he said in his telephone inter-
view with The Star.
MIR. Meredith's speech was
intended to primarily empha-
size the Importance Of eff
ficiency and economy in the
civil rights fight. His appeal to
the youngsters was a personal
one. He was applauded and not
booed by the youths when he
told them: ANY one of you
burr heads out there could be
the owner or manager of a
large department store, presi-
dent of a corporation, or even
of the city Of Chicago. +"
He drew applause later when
he told how he paid for two
cars. q truck, two farms and
a home at a time he made
$3.50 monthly as a soldier.
LITERALLY. I could account for
at least nine out of every 10
dollars I had ever made" he
said.
There was applause again
when Mr.. Meredith listed his
ground rules for large pur-
chases: "If 1t cost 500 or more,
I bargain for at least two
weeks; If it's $500 or more, I
bargain for at least four weeks;
and II it's $1,000 or more, I
stop bargaining and start ne
gotiating which must last for

Severe Penalties Urged
To Curb Gun Troffic

A National Rifle Association
spokesman testified today that
tougher court penalties would
be a more effective crime-fight-
ing move than adoption Of new
weapons control laws.
The associations executive
vice president, Franklin l.,
Orth, took this position at a
congressional hearing on mall
order gun traffic.
These hearings are being
held by the Senate judiciary
Committee and juvenile delin-
quency subcommittee. headed
by Senator Dodd, Democrat OF
Connecticut.
The subcommittee's goal is 70
draft legislation that will curb
the shipment OF handRuns 10
juveniles, criminals, drug adj
diets, mental detectives, and
others.
At today's hearing, MIR
Orth. the rifle association
spokesman. said his group
agreed that steps must be taken
TO reduce the shipment OF mail
order guns TO undesirables.
Mr.. Orth added. however,
that:

Orth said, Ito attempt TO solve
problems Of daily living by en-
acting law. This Is especially
true In cases Of crimes with
firearms Existing laws
should be strictly enforced with
severe punishment for criminals
and hoodlums g..
There is little evidence OF
the need for new laws. There
is ample evidence that those
laws we have now are not being
effectively applied"
MIR Orth cited statistics from
the District Court OF General
Sessions in support OF his po-
sition.
Last year, he said, less than
half OF the 236 persons found
guilty OF illegally carrying a
concealed pistol received a Jail
sentence. A total Of So were

provision of $4,000 square feet
of commercial storage space,
in addition to 10000 square
feet of space provided in the
plan prior to its revision.
In addition, changes in build
ing setbacks and height limits
would allow a greater amount
of floor space to be built. and
would increase neither the pre-
viously allowable 800 apart
ment units nor the 400 hotel
rooms.
Phil A. Doyle, RIA executive
director, said the redeveloper
had not previously designed the
project to attain the maximum
limits of floor space permissible
under the unrevised plan. The
principal change in value, If
any, thus appears to depend on
the addition of commercial
space.
The project will also contain
1,500 car-parking spaces be-
meath the building.
Architects for the project are
Keyes, Lethbridge and Condor.

Murray Denies
Police Withhold
Crime Reports

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
emphatically denied today that
police withhold any crime re-
ports in the District.
Chief Murray made the state
ment in response to a charge
by Representative Becker, Re-
publican OF New York, that
somebody has cracked down
on the police" TO withhold Dis
trict crime accounts from
Washington newspapers.
Chief Murray noted that the
police radio is monitored by
newspaper reporters and that
there is a local police teletype
In the newspaper pressroom In
police headquarters.
In reading the newspapers,
the chief said. he thinks crime
gets more coverage in the
Washington papers than IN pa
pers published In cities that
have more crime.
Mr.. Becker frequently has
complained In the House about
crime conditions In the District
since his former secretary. Miss
Mary Lou Kosterlitsky. recently
was stabbed by an assailant in

COnfers With President
Mr.. McMillan's assurance
that the Districts confused fis-
cal affairs will be examined
came one day after he con-
ferred with President Kennedy
at the White House. Both the
White House and Mr.. McMil-
Ian maintained a strict silence
for the second day on the ma
ture of their talks other than
to indicate that they discussed
District matters.
The President has put first
priority on his proposals for a
Federal payment and loan for
mula, and on increased District
taxes.
Mr.. Mcmillan has said that
separate bills for a $40 million
Federal payment and a $3.50
million Federal loan ceiling
would have a more realistic
chance Of clearing Congress.
This compares with the Ken
nedy Federal payment of about
$50 million in 1864, loan limit
of 1925 million in the same
year and a SO to $12 million
tax program.
Joint Hearings Possible
In February, Mr.. Mcmillan
said he did not think the
Presidents fiscal proposals
would prevail in the House.
Later, he predicted the House
might not even approve the
less ambitious revenue raising
program backed by the chair
man.
