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 .

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.

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.

Atlanta, Ga. 30303 Dear Ivan: As I have been aware of the recent racial situation in Atlanta I first want to say that you have gone far beyond the call of duty in trying to help straighten things out. In fact, you have exposed yourself too much, even though what you have done was something that you could not avoid. Today I was going through some old files and found the attached copy of a story in the U. s. News & World Report issue of August 19, 1963. Chances are you read about this interview when it came out. Also attached are copies of letter to me from Senator Richard B. Russell dated August 25, 1965, letter from Senator Herman E. Talmadge dated August 27, 1965 and the Congressional Records dated August 5 and 16, 1965, numbers 143 and 150. The negro situation is bad and may not even be straightened out but it seems to me that asking the cooperation and help of all top grade negroes, such ass. B. Fuller, might be an answer. In other words, sound thinking, educated negroes have asserted themselves in a great many instances and if a national movement could be started calling on the negro business man, educators, etc ., might do a lot of good. i'Z'~f\~(9()-%-u.~,~ o.-J ~ R S ~ It is evident that Katzenbac k l"ift not helping any because--th e ~ certainly have. a one track mind in favor of the so called down-trodden negro but if somebody in high office, a man like Senator Dirksen, could introduce a bill or do something that would appeal to outstanding negro citizens- a solution might be brought about ,-,,, ~ ~ f.,._pt To _ �r .JACK .J .

Atlanta, Georgia September 11, 1966 Mayor Ivan Allen City of Atlanta Atlanta, Georgia Sir: The Atlanta Constitution of Saturd~y, September 10, 1966 carried an article about the recent riot and included portions of a letter addressed to you by 14 organizations stating that, in essence, the COllllilunity concensus ought not to become arrayed against certain individuals and organizations as a substitute for relieving the slum conditions which brought about the riots. It is a complete perversion and distortion of f a cts for these 14 pressure groups to take the position that slum conditions caused the riots and none can know better than you who were there what caused the riots. Although not represented by any group or organization but one who continues to believe in a government of l aws let me commend you for your statement that these instig&tors of violence be judged by our coliU"is as law-breakers not urban reformists. The pea ce and tr~nquillity of our citizens take precedence over reform and each should take its place before the bar. If violence, riet and insurrection are excuseable and are supported by the specious reasoning of self-appointed, not elected, or~anizbtions then to whom and to what agency can the isola ted citizen look for protection?

ATLANTA 9 , GEORGIA September 9,1966 Dear Ivan, When I passed the time of day with you on the C & Scorner the other day, I never dreamed you would be embroiled in a riot in Atlanta that afternoon. An angry mob, incited as they were, is very terrifying and it did take great courage for you voluntarily to engage personally in quelling it. The purpose of this letter is simply to let you know that I am proud of you and proud to know you. I van, you get 1ots of advice and suggestions from everybody, most all of whom are much smarter and better informed than I am. Some fifteen years ago when you considered running for governor, I did suggest that it was a mi stake to stand 11 four square on the county unit system 11 • Now I can 1 t refrain f r om suggesting that it is a mistake to try to prosecute Carmichael and 11 put him away 11 for a number of years . At this time you are riding the crest of the wave. The negroes themselves are undercutting Carmichael. Every time he opens his mouth you go further ahead and he loses more. Every think is going for you. I would surmise that the case against Carmichael is , to say the least , nebulous but win or lose the case , prosecuting him is , I believe , bound to bring some sympathy . Why make a martyr out of him? Someone else will take his place and jailing him won't r eally r esolve the big issue . This is really not intended as advice but simply my reaction as an admittedly uninfo rme d and unofficial observer . You are a great man. Best re ga rds , I' ~ OvvV\-- �KATE F.

I hope that you will not again have to expose your- self 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 cities similar to ours and points the way towards some broad avenues of solution. Seems like every- one talks about the slums, but few people know soundly what to do about them. I am not a student of social studies, but it does seem to me that we are treating symptoms rather than diseases.

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.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA 320306 September 7, 1966 The Honorable Ivan Allen Mayor of Atlanta Georgia Dear Ivan: In the events of last evening, Atlanta joined its several sister cities which have been scarred this summer by violent, race-related demonstrations but its experience was greatly mitigated by your forthright action and true heroism in meeting those events. I must convey my sin- cerest admiration for your personal bravery in assuming direct responsibility on the scene and in exposing your- self to the very real threat of personal injury. Even more so, I must express my appreciation as a citizen —and Iam sure it is shared by most Atlanta citizens of both races — for your devotion to the principles of community brotherhood and order which have so long been characteristic of our city and its government. Please be assured of my continued confidence and sup- port in your efforts to deal effectively with our city's problems in race relations and elsewhere (such as our Fire Department situation!). Again, I believe I speak the feeling of many of my fellow citizens in voicing my approval of your policies and actions toward further- ing the progress of Atlanta. Sincerely yours, ere JCHA:jd MILTON WEINSTEIN N80 PEACUTREE STREET,N.E. ATLANTA, GEORGIA U.S.A. CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD NATIONAL SERVICE INDUSTRIES, INC.

Sweat, Jr. Director of Governmental Laison Office of the Mayor Atlanta, Georgia Dear Dan: Thank you for the opportunity of sharing in the Urban Coalition session at the Hotel American yesterday. Unfortunately, the time alloted and the size of the gathering afforded little opportunity to come to grips with possible solution techniques. The slide presentation by John Robinson was helpful in providing facts respecting immediate problem areas and forecasts of impending doom lest we begin immediately to take some corrective action. Before we can concern ourselves with job progression and career d e velopment, it would appear that basic and fundamental education must b e afforded many of the "hard-core unemployed". May I suggest that you write the "Board of Fundamental Education" , Indianapolis, Ind. for information regarding its techniques for remedial and basic courses to raise the educational levels of the disadvantaged and deprived? Dr. Cleo Blackburn is the Chairman of the Board and his work is w e ll known to NAM, HEW and others. It would appear that money spent in this area would be a good investment in tackling the real problem now. By upgrading the basic educational skill s w e provide people with at l east the entry job l evel skills, i. e. , Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, and Comprehension. My interest in the Coalition remains high and I stand ready to lend whatever assistance you may d eem appropriate.

' IT PLEASES ME TO SEE SO MANY OF OUR NATIONAL AND LOCAL BUSINESS LEADERS GATHER HERE TODAY TO EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES FOR AMERICAN FREE-ENTERPRISE TO USE ITS VAST POTENTIAL AS A MAJOR FACTOR IN SOLVING ONE OF OUR COUNTRY'S BIGGEST PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE PR OB LEM OF UNEMPLOYMENT. IT IS THE PROBLEM OF PEOPLE WHO NEED JOBS AND OF JOBS WHO NEED PEOPLE. OUR TASK IS TO FIND OUT HOW TO MEET BOTH NEEDS , TO DEVELOP A HEALTHY ECONOMY WHICH PROVIDES A VARIETY OF JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED WORK AND TO PROVIDE WORKERS WITH SKILLS NECESSARY TO FILL THE VACANCIES WHICH GO UNFILLED FOR LACK OF QUALIFIED LABOR . �PAGE TWO IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT GOVERNMENT AT THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEVELS AND BUSINESS LEADERSHIP ARE COOPERATING TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THESE PROBLEMS. IT IS FITTING, I THINK, MR. PHILLIPPE, THAT YOUR TASK FORCE ON PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT CHOSE ATLANTA AS ONE OF YOUR REGIONAL CONFERENCE SITES. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE PARTNERSHIP OF BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT THAT HAS PROVIDED THE STIMULATION AND RESOURCES WHICH HA VE ADVANCED OUR COMMUNITY IN ALL AREAS. THIS WAS TRUE OF URBAN RENEWAL, WHICH WAS THE CATALYST THAT LAUNCHED THE GREAT DOWNTOWN BUSINESS EXPANSION STILL GOING ON TODAY. EIGHTY PERCENT OF ATLANTA 1S NEAR DOWNTOW N SLUMS HAVE BEE N ELIMINATED AND ACTIVE PROGRAMS ARE UNDERWAY IN SOME TEN AREAS TO WIPE OUT THE REMAINDER. THE FORWARD ATLANTA PROGRAM PRODUCED IN - - - - NEW JOBS - - -- - YEARS. AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY HAS COURAGEOUSLY SUPPORTED THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM, JOB TRAINING A N D JOB �PAGE THREE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE DISADVANTAGED AND I AM SURE WE CAN EXPECT IT TO CONTINUE TO DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR ALL CITIZENS. WHILE WE PROUDLY BOAST OF WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED, WE READILY RECOGNIZE MUCH MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. THIS CONFERENCE SHOULD HELP US TO MORE CLEARLY EVALUATE OUR SHORTCOMINGS IN THE AREA OF UNEMPLOYMENT, AND,I HOPE , TO DEVISE METHODS FOR OVERCOMING THEM.
