It was a fer cry from the pictures of other mayers in treubled cities who have held themselves apart from the fray. I hove our city can find ways to meet the problems of slum-dwellers which ether cities h»ve found insurmounteble thus far. If we do, it will be becsuse of your courageous and com- passionate leadership. If yeu could somehow cenvince these seonle to present their grievances where there is = possibility of talking them out end ecting upon them, thet would help. Maybe a meeting or clinic st the Stediwm with many lawyers ond social werkers and ministers te talk with people who have problems and constructive suggestions could be a starte I only know thet some kind of crective tackling of the preblems of the cities will enable America te continue. I wish there were middle-cless housing end excellent schools availnble in the center of the city so thet concerned people could meve beck into the city with their families to be part of the voting, tax-poying b-se. Perhaps community ergonizi tions of deprived citizens would help them feel a grester pert of their city. Maybe we need a Saul Alinsky to take the spotlight off of the violent-tyse organizers, Thenk you fer your leadership ond visien. If yen can think ef wsys that concerned citizens con help, slease enll on me. Mest sincerely, Mes. Gene G.

LOUIS MONTAG FIRST NATIONAL BA:l'H( BUILDING ATLANTA 3, GEORGIA September 14, 1966 Dear Ivan, This is simply to express my feeling of both admiration and appreciation in the light of your recent actions of courage and love for our city. I hope that you will not again have to expose yourself to these hazards, but commend you on all that you have done and will continue to do to make our town a better place to live in. I thought you might be interested in the enclosed article appearing in the University of Pennsylvania Gazette, July issue. It deals with the problems of c i ties similar to ours and points the way towards some broad avenues of solution. Seems like everyone talks about the slums, but few people know soundly what to do about them. I am not a student of social stu~ies, but it does seem to me that we are treating symptoms rather than diseases . If there is any small part in this effort in which I may be helpful don't hesitate to call on me . Best to Louise . Cordially , o/auC:V The Honorable I van Al l en, Jr. 3700 Northside Drive, N. W.

My disappointment is a minor matter by comparison to the seriousness of the problems that you are facing and the gravity of your responsibilities. Nevertheless, I am maintaining your reservations, both airplane and hotel, so that if by some good miracle everything has quieted down, you can still go along with us at the last minute. It would be very remiss on my part not to tell you that you have my wholehearted sympathy in the trials that you are undergoing and the support of everyone that I have talked to, not the least of which is the support of the writer. If there is anything that I can do to make life easier, please let me know .

JOHN A.SIBLEY ATLANTA September 9, 1966 PERSONAL Dear Mr. Mayor: The late Mr. Jack Spalding often made the remark that "blood counts". He applied this to race horses as well as to men. Your courageous leadership and action during the recent riot again evidences the truth of that statement. When you met the rioters face to face and challenged their authority by saying" I am the boss here", you set a standard that reflects great credit upon you and your city and which will do much to put an end to the organized lawlessness that is so prevalent on the streets of our cities. You gave the law enforcement officers a type of support they deserve and needed and you gave to your citizens renewed confidence in your splendid leadership .
