And the young pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church also repeated the statement that boycott leaders will confer shortly to decide whether to call off the boycott.

King, 27, in Chicago for a guest sermon last Sunday, gave his views at a news conference arranged by a friend who said he wanted to "give a segment of the northern press a chance to get an unbiased account of what is going on in Montgomery."

An investigation of the boycott was urged Monday by Circuit Judge Eugene Carter in his charge to the county grand jury. It was learned that the jury now in session has summoned several witnesses in connection with the boycott.

REPORT DUE THIS WEEK

The jury is expected to report late this week.

As to the nature of the boycott, King told newsmen:

"It's part of something that's happening all over the world. The oppressed peoples of the world are against colonialism, imperialism and other systems of oppression."

King said that a lack of money is the reason the boycott may be called off. Negroes are paying "a lot of money" to operate car pools which have been organized to replace buses, he said.

He said 'litigation from a suit filed in federal court here contesting bus segregation may take a long time. "I am not sure that the people will want to continue the boycott that long."

The minister claimed that only about 10 Negroes a day ride buses in Montgomery, AP reported. He said the movement started "spontaneously" following the arrest of a Negro woman on the charge of violation of segregation laws.

SAYS PROTECTION DENIED

Referring to acts of violence in the boycott, King said:

"I'm well guarded every where I go in Montgomery, by my friends. I asked the sheriff for personal protection and that was denied."

King applied for a pistol permit at the sheriff's office two weeks ago after a small bomb was exploded at his home Sheriff Mac Sim Butler said today the gun permit was denied but that he had pledged to do "everything within my power" to protect him.

Police Commissioner Clyde Sellers, following the explosion at King's home promised the Negro "complete police protection."

Last week King denied having told two newsmen the possibility of ending the boycott would be discussed at a meeting of the Montgomery Improvement Assn. After the meeting of the group, of which he is president, he would not reveal the agenda of the session, and said he had been misunderstood.

The boycott leader left Chicago for Atlanta last night. He is to return to Montgomery tonight.
