A written representation of a document.
Dear Mayor Allen,
I just want to send along my apology for the actions of a few hoodlums in
your cit, y]the other night and to let you know their thinking is not the thinking
of respectable citizens, Negro and White, in Atlanta or elsewher e.
I for one,
sincerely hope this incident wil l not dim your si ghts for Equality , nor reduce
your efforts to make Atlanta the grea t city it can become.
I'm certain t he
Good Will Committee hastily organized, is an indication of the strong desire of
Atlantans to hel p you.
I've be en in at least thirty major South ern cities i n
the past four years and none, absolutely none, ha s yet reached the climate of
good will t hat exists in Atlanta.
The neares t in spirit and cooperation to
Atlanta that I found, was Roanoke, Virginia.
You may not remember me but in 1961 the late Trezzvant Anderson, Reporter f or
the Pittsburgh Couri er , introduced you to me and we chatted at your Mayoral headquqrter s for al most an hour.
I recall so well you saying •••• "A few y ea rs a go I was
an avowed s egregationist but I know now, tha t we must get on with the job of
building a gr eater Atlanta, a grea ter Georgi a , a grea ter Southland, and t hus, a
grea ter America."
Henry Aaron of your bas6ball team, is a go od friend of mine,
and h e ha s said many nice t hings abou t you and your efforts to bring about equality
fo r all people in the city.
I also know you have been forced to bear considerable
abuse, a s has Ral ph McGill and others , for your policy in this r egard but you hav e
held your ground.
Plea se don 't count t his as f lattery, I just want you to know
you have t .ou sands of fri ends a cro ss the coun try who appr eciat e what you have done
i n r ecent years . Moreover, we woul d not like to s ee you become discouraged .
I
hav e been wi t h t he American Broad cas t ing Company, stationed a t the Unived
Nation s , since 1962 but this l etter is sent on a personal ba sis.
Maybe one of these
days we can ar range an i nt erview to tal k abou t the Winds of Change " in At lanta.
Good luck . I counted the l ate Br anch Ri ckey a s a good friend and was privileged
to tal k with him many t i mes i n the f ities when he r es i ded in Pitts burgh. He gave me
a copy of Frank Tannenbaum ' s
book entitled
"Citi zen and Slave " and on t he l as t pa ge ,
in the l a st chap ter he under s cored the words •• "We shal l some day l ook ba ck and wonder
what the is sues were all about".
Thi s I bel ieve be cau s e t here are Ivan Al lens , Ral ph
McGi l ls, Marlin Brandos, Burt Lanca sters , Shelley Winters, Governor Scranton s , and

Dear Mayor Allen,
I just want to send along my apology for the actions of a few hoodlums in
your cit y|the other night and to let you know their thinking is not the thinking
of respectable citizens, Negro and White, in Atlanta or elsewhere. I for one,
sincerely hope this incident will not dim your sights for Equality, nor reduce
your efforts to make Atlanta the great city it can become. I'm certain the
Good Will Committee hastily organized, is an indication of the strong desire of
Atlantans to help you. I've been in at least thirty major Southern cities in
the past four years and none, absolutely none, has yet reached the climate of
good will that exists in Atlanta. The nearest in spirit and cooperation to
Atlanta that I found, was Roanoke, Virginia.
You may not remember me but in 1961 the late Trezzvant Anderson, Reporter for
the Pittsburgh Courier, introduced you to me and we chatted at your Mayoral head-
quarters for almost an hour. I recall so well you saying...."A few years ago I was
an avowed segregationist but I know now, that we must get on with the job of
building a greater Atlanta, a greater Georgia, a greater Southland, and thus, a
greater America." Henry Aaron of your baséball team, is a good friend of mine,
and he has said many nice things about you and your efforts to bring about equality
for all people in the city. I also know you have been forced to bear considerable
abuse, as has Ralph McGill and others, for your policy in this regard but you have
held your ground. Please don't count this as flattery, I just want you to know
you have t ousands of friends across the country who appreciate what you have done
in recent years. Moreover, we would not like to see you become discouraged.
I have been with the American Broadcasting Company, stationed at the United
Nations, since 1962 but this letter is sent on a personal basis. Maybe one of these
days we can arrange an interview to talk about the "Winds of Change" in Atlanta.
Good luck. I counted the late Branch Rickey as a good friend and was privileged
to talk with him many times in the fities when he resided in Pittsburgh. He gave me
a copy of Frank Tannenbaum's book entitled "Citizen and Slave" and on the last page,
in the last chapter he underscored the words.."We shall some day look back and wonder
what the issues were all about". This I believe because there are Ivan Allens, Ralph
McGills, Marlin Brandos, Burt Lancasters, Shelley Winters, Governor Scrantons, and
ti ousands who believe that "God hath made of one blood all nations of menand we are
His children, brothers and sisters all."

Dear Mayor Allen:
Let me congratulate you on the stand you took with the mob
which was about to erupt into a riot. You are to be commended
for advising the neo nle of Atlanta who was running the city.
According to the news re norts it would annear that Stokely
Carmichael incited certain groups to violent action. It
would apn ear that in this case that charges of violating
his oath when he acquired U. S. Citizenship would be enough
totake his citizenshi p from him and denort him. We have enou gh
undesireable so called Americans without imoorting more to
join their ranks .
Let me agaim congratulate you for your courageous stand.

My dear Mayor Allen:
We were interested to see the shots of yourself
handling the riot in Atlanta, on the TV this evening.
You way be assured that willions of people in the North
sympathize with your problem in attempting to better the
condition of the underprivileged -- while your efforts
are haustrung by the professional trouble-wakers and
provoeateurs who deliberately ineite to riot under
the cloak of "prowoting eivil rights."
As you stated in your eousents, there is no exeuse
whatsoever for any groups of people to riot in our
streets, and it is to be hoped that you will eontinue
to deal with any such attempts with a firm hand.
With all good wishes, I au

Mayor Ivan Allen Jr.
City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Mayor Allen;
I would like to express my deepest apreciation
for your stand and convictions against SNCC and the
racial hatred that they represent,
The recent rioting and racial troubles occurring
in northern cities has to some degree vindicated the South
for the slander and castigation by northern authorties and
press directed toward the South during the race problems
last winter, Their view point changed 360 degrees when
the trouble was in their own back yard.
It is very encouraging to see that you are willing
to stand for the principles of justice and law and order,
and to meet these agitators face to face. Your firm action
| was effective since the leader of SNCC felt that he was
| much safer back north, ,
BEaBPASAS I have had the fortune to be in Atlanta twice, and
| it is my observation that all cities both north and south should
~—\ tary - RANCH use your fine city as an example. Atlanta, Mayor Allen, is
ORAS a credit to this countryriand I am greatful that it is in the
South and only wish that Texas had a "Atlanta",
I

Most respectfully yours,
Florence, Texas

COMMUNISM and YOU!
"Fronts are things of the past. We don't need them.
We've got the ••• DuBois Clubs, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee , and Students for a Democratic Society going for us ••• "
Gus Ha 11, Genera I Secretary,
Communist Party, USA
COMMUNIST ATTACK ON YOUTH - XVII
When the Democratic National Convention was being held in Atlantic City, continued attempts
to disrupt the convention were made by Negro demonstrators who kept up their demands, despite compromise
attempts, that the Mississippi Freedom Democrats be seated. The demonstrators were members of the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC - pronounced SNICK), often described in the press as one of the
largest, most militant and radical organizations of the New Left.
In Selma, Alabama, in early March 1965, fiery SNCC leaders wanted to continue their march
to lvbntgomery despite a court order forbidding it. Only intervention by Federal Conciliator LeRoy Collins
prevented it. A few weeks later, despite a voting rights speech to Congress by President Lyndon B. Johnson,
SNCC continued to picket the White House and threatened further demonstrations. This induced the "Washington
Post" to say SNCC members appeared to be "driven by folly to demonstrate for the sheer, sterile sake of demonstration."
S NCC and its demonstrations go back to 1960 and the first lunch counter sit-ins, when the
organization was formed to foster the growth of civil rights agitation. According to the II New York Times , 11
S NCCwas born April 17, 1960, by about 300 people, almost all of them Negro youths, and has since become
the inspiration for all the organizations of the new student left.
"The Saturday Evening Post" of May 8, 1965, reported that SNCC "is a wonder, perfectly
desi gned to fit the anarchic student temper. It has a full-time staff of 230 but no membership . Its broad base
is a separate group called Friends of S.N . C.C., which has 150 chapters, two th irds of them on campus ." The
arti cle says SNCC leaders travel a far - left dinner circuit, "where they are sometimes lucid, sometimes totally
bewildering, 11 and it quotes a government investigator as saying th a t SNCC has been "thoroughly infiltrated by
Communists."
A report by the Louisiana Joint Legislative Committee concurs , saying SNCC is "substantially
under th e influence of the Communist Party. 11 SNCC officials admit no effort has been made to pu rge Commu nists from the membership. "We have no political test fo r membership and we never will have," a SNCC
Washington official said. 11 Newsweek" quoted another official as admitting that Communist Party members
had gone to Alabama and Mississippi to work with S NCC.
SE C URIT Y RE V IE W AWARDS : GEORGE WASHINGTON HO N OR MEDAL . FREEDO M S FOUNDATIO N AT VALLE Y FORGE ,
1962 ; VIGILANT PATRIOT AWARDS . ALL-AMERICAN CONFERENCE TO COMBAT COMMUNISM . 1963 AND 1 965 .
�The Washington Star 11 revealed that the organization hoped to establish "Friends of SNCC 11
groups in "uncommitted" nations around the world. "Such foreign affiliates of SNCC, 11 reporter Walter
Pincus wrote, "could present Communist parties around the world with a ready-made organizational weapon
for stirring up anti-American sentiments." lvbny troubled observers have pointed out that it makes little
difference whether or not SNCC radicals are Communists: 11 lf they do the same things, it may not make much

This emphasizes the interesting transition SNCC has made from the civil rights field, for which
it was organized, to its invasion of the field of foreign policy. It was one of the leaders in the Washington
demonstrations August 6-9, 1965, when sit-ins were staged at the Capital, the White House gates were blocked
and Communist publications, such as "The Worker, 11 were distributed. A SNCC leader was among those arrested
by Washington police.
SNCC made its position clear in a statement in the March-April 1966 issue of" Insurgent"
published by the DuBois Clubs: "The Student Nonviolent Coordiroting Committee has a right and a responsibility
to dissent with United States foreign policy on any issue when it sees fit ••• We maintain that our country's cry

unwilling to respond to a military draft which would compel them to contribute their lives to United States

for the Advancement of Colored People immediately disassociated itself from the SNCC position and pointed out
that some SNCC workers are becoming disinterested in civil rights and are turning to peace demonstrations.
But SNCC's radical approach evidently was not radical enough. United Press International
reported from Atlanta May 17, 1966: "Two of the nation's most militant civil rights leaders, John Lewis and
James Foreman, have been deposed by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). One source
said they were considered 'too moderate.' SNCC ormounced the changesc Stokeley Carmichael, a founder
of the all-Negro 'Black Panther Political Party' in Alabama, was named to succeed Lewis as SNCC chairman

COMMUNISM and YOU! ee
"Fronts are things of the past. We don't need them.
We've got the...DuBois Clubs, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee, and Students for a Democratic Society going for us..."
Gus Hall. General Secretary,
Communist Party, USA
COMMUNIST ATTACK ON YOUTH - XVII
When the Democratic National Convention was being held in Atlantic City, continued attempts
to disrupt the convention were made by Negro demonstrators who kept up their demands, despite compromise
attempts, that the Mississippi Freedom Democrats be seated. The demonstrators were members of the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC - pronounced SNICK), often described in the press as one of the
largest, most militant and radical organizations of the New Left.
In Selma, Alabama, in early March 1965, fiery SNCC leaders wanted to continue their march
to Montgomery despite a court order forbidding it. Only intervention by Federal Conciliator LeRoy Collins
prevented it. A few weeks later, despite a voting rights speech to Congress by President Lyndon B, Johnson,
SNCC continued to picket the White House and threatened further demonstrations. This induced the "Washington
Post" to say SNCC members appeared to be "driven by folly to demonstrate for the sheer, sterile sake of demon-
stration."
SNCC and its demonstrations go back to 1960 and the first lunch counter sit-ins, when the
organization was formed to foster the growth of civil rights agitation. According to the "New York Times,"
SNCC was born April 17, 1960, by about 300 people, almost all of them Negro youths, and has since become
the inspiration for all the organizations of the new student left.
"The Saturday Evening Post" of May 8, 1965, reported that SNCC "is a wonder, perfectly
designed to fit the anarchic student temper. It has a full-time staff of 230 but no membership. Its broad base
is a separate group called Friends of S,N.C.C., which has 150 chapters, two thirds of them on campus." The
article says SNCC leaders travel a far-left dinner circuit, "where they are sometimes lucid, sometimes totally
bewildering," and it quotes a government investigator as saying that SNCC has been "thoroughly infiltrated by
Communists."
A report by the Louisiana Joint Legislative Committee concurs, saying SNCC is “substantially
under the influence of the Communist Party." SNCC officials admit no effort has been made to purge Commu~
nists from the membership. “We have no political test for membership and we never will have," a SNCC
Washington official said. "Newsweek" quoted another official as admitting that Communist Party members
had gone to Alabama and Mississippi to work with SNCC.

"The Washington Star" revealed that the organization hoped to establish "Friends of SNCC"
groups in "uncommitted" nations around the world. "Such foreign affiliates of SNCC," reporter Walter
Pincus wrote, "could present Communist parties around the world with a ready-made organizational weapon
for stirring up anti-American sentiments." Many troubled observers have pointed out that it makes little
difference whether or not SNCC radicals are Communists: "If they do the same things, it may not make much
difference what kind of cards they carry."
This emphasizes the interesting transition SNCC has made from the civil rights field, for which
it was organized, to its invasion of the field of foreign policy. It was one of the leaders in the Washington

aggression in Vietnam in the name of the "freedom' we find so false in this country." The National Association

Sir:
Let me commend you on the handling of the recent riot in Atlanta.
There is enclosed a pamphlet which I think you will appreciate
reading about Communists and the manner in which they operate.
I think you will see a close relation with the statement of Gus Hall,
General Secretary, Communist Party, USA and the riot that was
held in Atlanta.
You will probably remember I was with the Federal Reserve in
Atlanta for twenty years and am thoroughly familiar with your
family background and I know you have and are doing a good job.
The reason for this letter is simply to congratulate you on seeing
and understanding the real cause of the riot.
