Part of the plan is to destroy the law and respect for it, holler police brutality, and try to make local officials look like a bunch of hoodlums. Such was the case of Selma and Dallas County. Every communist front organization in the country sent their trained agitators, schooled in how to take a crowd ‘and turn it into a mob, create a riot and get someone killed.

Although, living in DeKalb County, we are not actual residents of the city, what affects Atlanta very much affects us in the outer limits. Having lived over thirty-five years in the city of Pittsburgh before coming to the Atlanta area five years ago, we feel that we can speak for the situations in the northern cities with some authority. Let the colored people here know they get a much fairer shake here in Atlanta than they would ever get in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Chicage or wherever. It is high time that the truth of the situations be told - in the news media throughout the country. We thank you, Mayor Allen for your courage in going into the confusion and bringing about rapid order from the chaos. The Police Department indeed deserves a medal of honor... particularly the colored police who were very much in evidence at the situation. This situation, covered in depth by the television, radio and the news magazines will be a real eye opener for those whose hobby is to give a “black-eye" to the south. Where were the Mayors of Chicago, Dayton, and wherever when confusion reigns? At their desk with the phone - far from the ecene. In aaél correspondence and phone calls we have had from our families and friends throughout Pennsylvania and Ohie, the constant comment was "Hats off to your Mayor down there - he sure doesn't stand for much jazz", does he?? Maybe Atlanta*s image cam be the beginning of a good show to bring about the ending of this traveling disruption of all our major cities in this country.

Sir T bce suhst herd served r- = Weartiny hes iship, pain and suing is. I had polio at age 5 months which left my left leg one and ‘ofte-half inches shorter than my right and about one third the size. My father died at 6 p.m. Sunday in 1935, was buried Monday on my seventeenth birthday. My brother died at 5 a.m. Tuesday and was buried Wednesday, leaving me with two-small sisters and my mother to support. At 17 I was not a drop-out in school. With no education —not enough, anyway—no experience and with only one good leg, I quit school and went to work to support a fami- ly. I didn’t have a teen-age life because my working hours were always from 10 to 20 hours a day. In 1948, I got my right hand—my working hand; I'm right- handed—in an elec- tric ice shaver and mangled it. It was doubtful whether I'd ever be able to use it again, but after much pain and suffer- ing I learned to use what I had left of a hand. This left me with one good leg and one good hand, but I didn’t give up. “Follow Me Just One Day—"’ - .1 would like for Earl Warren, President Johnson, H. H.

Box 466 Tucker, Georgia 30084 Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr., Mayor City of Atlanta Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mayor Allens I congratulate you on your splendid efforts to maintain racial harmony in the City of Atlanta. Your recent confrontation with rioting Negro mobs was most admirable. However, I am afraid that you do not understand Negro psychology. On numerous occasions you have made reference to the grave in- justices the Negro has suffered over the past 200 years - and this I cannot agree with entirely. The greatest favor ever done for the Negro was to capture him, take him out of the jungle end expose him to civilization - and incidentally, keep him from eating all of his relatives. These supposed injustices confer on him no right to murder, rape, mug and commit arson. If this were not true I would personally carry out a vendeta against society because General Sherman's men murdered my great-grandfather, his oldets son (16), burned his home, killed his live-stock and left a widow with three little-.children, This indeed was an injustice but it does not give the right to go to Chicago and throw bottles at the police force, kill local residents or set fire to the Conrad Hilton Hotel. While on active duty, during World War II, we had a constant problem with Quartermaster Negro troops rioting after consuming a few bottles of beer. I was assigned the task of breaking up these Saturday night melees and I accomplished the mission in just two weeks. It was not done by talking nicely to these men, it was done however with a language that they understand. I urge you to use a firmer hand in dealing with these situations or face the alternative of losing complete control of the situation. I am gravely concerned with the state of anarchy that prevails throughout the nation. Unless our political leaders exercise firm controls, without regards for the value of the Negro bloc vote at the polls, the United States is going to develop into an armed Camp and we will all lose as the result of what will take place, Put down revolt among the Negroes as you would if white people were involved and you will overcome some of the deep-rooted and seething resentment that now exists.

Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mayor Allen, My wife and I were in your campaign: headquarters on the night of your first election as mayor of Atlanta. We gave you our support. You have more than lived up to the expectations that we had in you as a@ person and your administration. As you can see by the address, We are now serving in Albany, Georgia. Our hearts remain in Atlanta and we hope some day to return to serve again. Your recent heartache and frustration over the sudden outburst of violence is also ours. Your courage to enter the areas of trouble and attempt to minister to the people is most compassionate. We deeply appreciate your stand for law and order and at the same time justice for white and black. Please keep your faith and remember the poem by Kipling "If you can trust yourself when all men about you doubt you" ( misquoted), "You will be a man my son.". Mayor Allen you are indeed a man, I wish that I had an easy answer. I wish that you did. You said that we needed to build better cities. I agree but even more basic we need to build better people.

Your judgment and courage were adminable and when 9 speak of courage I am not Apeaking og the gact that vou merely went into the middle og dhe mob, but Y am Apeaking parti-~ cularly og your courage in taking the position that you took during the riot as well as in uvour handling og! the situation Later. 9 believe that your aciions will have a tremendous influence fon good with the civic and state authorities through- out the nation. AU thinking men who are not 4o terrigied of a block vote that thein backbone disappears, know that everthing that we cherish in this country 44 dependent upon Law and orden, seems that some of our northern cities Ahould be in the “banana nepublics”, and 9 am particularly gratified to see that your yim hand has been strongly approved by the northern press as well as the Congress. Gt is also gratigving to see that 4o many, og the night thinking negroes, particularly in Atlanta, have thought that you handled the situation well, 9 think that your Atlania Congressman made a very good statement when he said that no matier how we quibble about the meaning of "bLlach power”, at inevitably heads to violence. for- tunately, very jew of either nace believe in “black power", “white power, on any other kind of power that connotes violence.  G nemember that two weeks ago when we were Attting on your porch at /oxaway you, Laughingly, told how a man in pubLic Life grabs the newspaper early an the morning 40 see what they are AaUANG about him, so 9 know you are happy about what you have read, And Let me add, that when this happened GY was in Hlonida and the press there was unanimous in your savor.
