ACTOR BURGESS MEREDITH AND DIRECTOR DANIEL PETRIE SIGNED FOR A "PROFILE IN COURAGE" ABOUT ILLINOIS' GOV. ALTGELD Actor Burgess Meredith and director Daniel Petrie have been signed for a segment of the "Profiles in Courage" series, which will be presented on the NBC-TV Network Sundays, starting Nov, 8 (6:30 to 7:30 p.m. NYT ) . Series producer Gordon Oliver announced that Petrie will direct Meredith in the title role of "The Gov. John Peter Altgeld Story," written by Philip S. Goodman. Production will start June 15 at Delilu Studios, Culver City, Calif. Robert Saudek is executive producer of the series. Gov. Altgeld of Illinois suffered personal abuse and political ruin after pardoning three defendants facing the death penalty because he was convinced that they had been convicted unjustly of murder in Chicago's Haymarket Square bombing of 1886. Petrie and Meredith last worked together as host and director, respectively, in Saudek' s series, "Excursion," sponsored by the Ford Foundation on NBC-TV. Petrie's directing credits include "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch" on NBC-TV' s Bob Hope"Chrysler Theatre" series, and segments of "The Defenders" and "East Side/West Side." He also directed the motion picture "Raisin in the Sun." Meredith will go to Hawaii following this assignment for a role in Otto Preminger's film, "In Harm's Way." NBC-New York, 6/12/64
