James H. Meredith, returning to Mississippi after six years in New York City, says the North harbors the most prejudice white population in America. He moved to Jackson with his wife and three sons and notes the South remains livable for blacks compared to northern cities, which he describes as tense with a chaotic education system. He plans further economic outreach under his Cooperatives distribution idea.

Agnew Says South Korean Troop Pullout No Threat
Vice President Spiro T. Agnew said South Korea may consider reducing its 48 000 troops in Vietnam but such plans will not affect the U S withdrawal program in Southeast Asia. He noted the matter is between Seoul and Saigon and that U S soldiers will proceed with the agreed pullout. Agnew spoke aboard Air Force Two en route to Seoul for talks with Park Chung Hee and Kim Jong Pil, and ahead of Park’s inauguration. He warned the Mansfield amendment to withdraw Indochina within nine months remains unsatisfactory.
