Atlanta's Mayor Speaks On rare occasions the oratorical fog on Capitol Hill is pierced by a voice resonant with courage and dignity. Such a voice was heard when Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. of Atlanta testified before the Senate Commerce Committee in support of President Kennedy's bill to prohibit racial discrimination in . stores, restaurants and other public accommodations. On the basis of the very substantial accomplishments that his city of a half-million, the largest in the Southeast, has made in desegregating publicly owned and privately owned facilities, he might have come as a champion of "states' rights" and of the ability of localities to banish discrimination without Federal law. Certainly, he would have had much more warrant to espouse that view than the Barretta, the Wallaces and the other arch-segregationists who raise the specter of Federal "usurpation" as a device fo'r keeping Southern Negroes in subjection. But Mr. Allen was not i Washington to boast. He was there to warn that even in cities like Atlanta the progress that had been made might be wiped out if Congresii turned its back on the Kennedy proposal and thus gave implied endorsement to the concept that private businesses were free to discriminate. He left behind this charge to finish the job started with the Emancipation Proclamation a century ago: "Now the elimination of segregation, which is slavery's stepchild, is a challenge to all of us to make every American free in fact as well as in theory - and again to establish our nation as the true champion of the free world." � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

VOICE OF EXPERIENCE Mayor Allen Explains ·why He Spoke On ·Civil Rights Bill By PAT WATTERS "We cannot dodge this issue ... We must take action now to assure ·a greater futmre for our citizens and our country."-Mayor Ivan Allen, before the U.S. Senate Com mittee on Commerce. NOT EVEN consic/ering its considerable political implications, Mayor Ivan Allen's endorsement of the Kennedy public accommodations legi s I a tion was one of those sort of surP rise news stories of the highest significance. I was intrigued with the question of why he did it. In the past, he has not sounded off to any great public extent on the essentials of civil r ights, sticking instead to specifics of local situations. He was not one of those on either side with stock reactions easily predictable. His credentials in the bluechip community of business <whose freedoms are supposed to be so threatened by the legislation) are well known. INFLUENCE And his stand flew in the face of a unanimity of virtually all the rest of the state's political leadership against the legislation. !The importance of all these factors on the influence of his stand in the climate of public opinion shouldn't be overlooked. As a leadership and prestige influence, they say to people puzzled and troubled over the measure that it is possible to be for the historical imperatives and morality involved without being hounded as a hopeless idealist or Communist or something.) He didn't have to speak out. His stand was bound not to sit well with some. I finally went over and asked him why he did it. In effect; he said e did because he was qua lified to. No o t h e r political officials in America, he pointed out, have nad to face full-blast the practical job of the civil rights revolution as have city officials like himself. ( And not all city officials either, he said-which is true over most of Georgia.) He is convinced from such experience, he said, that it is high time, nine years after the school ruling, that the federal government help out with the problems created by the mandates of the federal courts. This, he said, is the "biggest social problem in my lifetime," and Congress needs to act as it fi. nally had to in comparable social upheavals of the past. He listed as comparable child labor, women's suffrage and the labor struggle. , "The cduntry's in the biggest mess it's ever been in, and Congress has not taken a single step to help clarify things . . . Congress can't expect local gov- ernments to handle as difficult a problem. as this . . . with no help, no definitions, no support. M's been damn unfair." He cited ten recent desegregation steps Atlanta has made as an example. (These were listed in his statement to the committee, along with, incidentally, an assessment of our achievements and still-serious shortcomings better than any I've ever seen, , a portrayal of Atlanta to the nation and world more honorable and in the real sense more favorable than any in some years.) IN MIDDLE In most of those ten steps, Mayor Allen pointed out, he was caught in the middle-aworking for " logical agreements." His point was that so much of it shouldn't be on a mayor and city officials, and that often to the hurt of a city and the nation, officials duck out of such responsibility. "You never please many with anyi decision" in the situation, he said. His decision to speak, then, and what he said came out of the pragmatic knowledge of fir thand experience such as few in America have of a situation about which many ha\'e opinions. As such, what he said was significant. His decision to say it may be even more important at this crucial midpoint in his first political office-for what it says of his character and his concept of his responsibility.

The task of weighing the ·pros and cons fell to the Commerce Committee because the legal loophole t hrough which the a dministration hopes to drive a Federal law is that section of t he Constitution C h . whic h g rves to ongress t e power " to regulate comme rce . .. among t he several Sta tes ." hopes to The Adml·ni·s"-ati·on •~ make it a Federal offe nce to refuse to serve or to seat or to accommodate anyone who enters a store, a restau rant, a theatre, or an hotel th at gets its fo od, its furnish ings, or any other service through inter-State commerce. Hence the last-ditch resistance of most of the Southern witnesses on the grounds that such a law would abolish or unconstitutionally restrict the right to private property. Since the heari ngs started, the committee has heard from such witnesses as the Rev. Martin Luther Kin~, Attorney-General Robert Kennedy, Secretary of State Dean Rusk. the indignant ~vernor Wallace of Alabama (" Is not the real purpose to disarm this country as the Communists have planned?") , and the learned Senator Sam Ervine, of North Carolina, the famous constitutional lawyer who call s the Civil Rights Bill " as drastic and indefensible a proposal as has ever been submitted to this Congress." ost remarkable accepted the Supreme Court's decisions as inevitable and as the law of our land .. . . "It has been a long, exhausting, and often discouraging process, and the end is far from beini in sight. . .

We cannot dodge the issue. We cannot look back over our shoulders or tum the clock back to the 1860s. We must take action now to assure a greater future for our citizens and our country. " A hundred years ago the abolition of slavery won the US the acclaim of the whole world when it made every American free in theorv. Now, the elimina• tion of segregation, which Is slavery's stepchild, is a challenge to all of us to make every American free in fact . .. and again to establish our nation as a true champion of the free world." When he had done, Senator Thurmond of South Carolina, the old Dixiecrat, leaped in, challengthe Mayar to deny that the ru ings of the Supreme Court. if incorporated in the bill, would mean " compulsion." The Mayor replied : " It would con\pel the same rights to be given the Negro citizen as the white citi7.en. Yes, that's compulsion. Any Federal law exercises some compulsion ." A Democrat of Michigan j umped in to ask the Mayor if he didn't think Atlanta's desegregation programme was " Communist inspired," a favourite point of Senator Thurmond. "Senator," said the Mayor, " there are no more Communists in Atlanta than there are on the moon." At the end, the chairman.

He said the country needs " a clear defin ition from Congress" on what must be done to do away with racial discrimination. Without that, he said, cities like Atlanta that have made progress oluntarily will "slip back." The mayor said that if Coness does not act, it will be in ct an "endorsement" of segation. ,e m ayor was the fi rst Southpolitician to testify in favor e legislation.

He said Congress ought • to outlaw discrimination in private business-but give communities "24 months or more" to adjust to the new law. "I have heard dozens of businessmen say that if there had been a cowt order or definition by Congress, it would have b e e n easier to desegregate," Allen said. Sen.

Senate Commerce Committee Friday that voluntary action was not enough to solve the nation's racial problems. McNamara Ol(s Off-Limits Areas He urged Congress to enact a federal law outlawing racial discrimination in places of public accommodation. Not to do so, he said, would mean turning back the clock and reversing the uneasy progress that has been made recently by men of good will. "Even now, the knowledge that this bill might not pass has caused some business men who agreed to desegregate their businesses to question whether they made the right move," he said. The graying mayor pleade dwith the Congress to, "give us some direction, give us some definition." As be talked he leaned forward toward the microphone on the desk before him and his words came out softly, distinctly. The committee and the small ceilinged hearing room w e r e hushed by the drama and the eloquence of his statement. "As the mayor of the south'!ast's largest city, I can say to you out of first-hand experience and first-hand knowledge that nowhere does the problem of eliminating discrimination between the races strike so closely home as it <loes to- the local elected public official.

"In all these other business places he is treated just like any other customer. But when he comes to the restaurant or hotel, are we going to say that it is right and legal for the operators of these businesses, merely as a matter of convenience to insist that the Negro's citizen~ ship be changed and that, as a second class citizen, he is to be refused service?

WASHINGTON - Sen. John Pastore, acting chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, publicly rebuked S o u t h Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond for " brow - beating" Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen Rr. on Friday. When Thurmond objected to the rebuke, the two senators engaged in an angry shouting match, their second in the recent round of hearings on the President's civil rights bill. Mayor Allen and the sparse crowd in the hearing r o o m looked on in astonishment as the two senators exchanged insults over the big hearing room's public address system.

But when Pastore tried to regain the floo r " to make a comment" Thurmond r efused to yield. When . Thurmond did yield, Pastore m a calm voice that belied his rising feelings delivered a lecture "to the members of this committee" about the station of many of the witnesses.

His temper still rising, he said, "If .it's necessary we'll go into executive session and talk about it. " Thurmond was furious. He denied asking any 'loaded' questions and said he resented Pasture's accusations. Pastore shouted that Thurmond had asked a question that went something like, 'Mr. Mayor, ·since the enactment of this bill would close many businesses in s m a 11 towns throughout the South, don't you think that would mean a taking of property by the federal government without due process of the law?' " Thurmond angrily denied asking such a question. Pastore then asked, "Will the reporter (a stenographer who takes down everything said during a hearing) read the question back?"

Chuckle I Wirtz Calls New 1-Iuddle Of RR, U11ion Deleg.ates WASHINGTON - <UPil Stung by charges that t h e government was tryi ng to dictate a settlement of the railroad crisis, Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz announced Friday that union and management negotiators would make another attempt to settle the work-rules dispute themselves. Wirtz made the unexpected disclosure during an appearance before a Senate Com merce Committee hearing on President Kennedy's proposal to put the four-year-old hassle into the hands of the Interstate Commerce Commission. His announcement came a few 1lours before the union management se,sion was scheduled. Wirtz' disclosure of the new collective bargaining effort came after AFL·CIO Presi- dent Geo1·ge Meany in ef. feet rejected the Kennedy plan and suggested that Congress set up a special committee to oversee a fresh try at a negotiated settle • ment. The labor secretary said the new bargaining session would be held in bis office starting at 8:30 p.m. EDT. He will sit in on the discussions. A spokesman for Wirtz explained that this was not an indication that a break-tbrouglt might be imminent in the work-rules dispute. Wirtz was obviously annoyed by charges during the Senate hearing by heads of the rail unions that the President's proposal for the ICC to make issues in the dispute was radical, dangerous and in favor of the management -ide. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

He urged Congress to enact a federal law outlawing racial discrimination in places of public accommodation. Not to do so, he said, would mean turning back the clock and reversing the uneasy progress that has been made recently by men of good will. “Even now, the knowledge that this bill might not pass has caused some business men who agreed to desegre- gate their businesses to question whether they made the right move,” he said. The graying mayor pleade dwith the Congress to, “give us some’ direction, give us some definition.” As he talked he leaned forward toward the micro- phone on the desk before him and his words came out softly, distinctly. The committee and the small ceilinged hearing reom were hushed by the drama and the eloquence of his statement. “As the mayor of the south- east's largest city, I can say to you out of first-hand experi- ence and first-hand knowledge that nowhere does the problem of eliminating discrimination be- tween the races strike so closely home as it does to the local elected public official. He is the man who cannot pass the buck.” “From this viewpoint,’ he taid, “I speak of the problem ak having been brought into sliarp focus by decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States and then generally ig- lot Foremost Newspaper of The Carolinas SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1963 28 Pages ot ~ \ > TEST-BAN People Y bsr ry e — Stories and pictures of fa- ] SN ~\ 4 k | | mous personalities.

PASTORE = / iz SEN. THURMOND — Strom Rebuked For ‘Brow-Beating’ By JACK CLAIBORNE’ Observer Washington Bureau WASHINGTON — Sen. John Pastore, acting chairman of the Senate Commerce Commit- tee, publicly rebuked South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond for “brow -beating” Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen Rr. on Fri- day. When Thurmond objected to the rebuke, the two senators engaged in an angry shouting match, their second in the re- cent round of hearings on the President's civil rights bill. Mayor Allen and the sparse crowd in the hearing room looked on in astonishment as the two senators exchanged in- sults over the big hearing room’s public address system. Pastore’s feelings arose during Thurmond’s question- ing of Allen about the mayor’s endorsement of the leaned into the microphone to ask if the acting chairman was implying that Thurmond tet been discourteous to Al- en.

You asked a ‘when did you stop beating your wife question; and I won’t tolerate that kind of question from this committee.’ His temper still rising, he said, “If it’s necessary we'll Zo into executive session and talk about it.” Thurmond was furious. He denied asking any ‘loaded’ questions and said he resented Pastore’s accusations. Pastore shouted that Thur- mond had asked a question that went something like, ‘Mr. Mayor, since the enactment are distinguished people whose presence before this commit- tee is a service.” “Tm only trying to get at the truth,” Thurmond said. . “Your truth is not my truth,” replied Pastore.

Thurmond accused Pastore of being an improper chair- man, of condoning outbursts from an audience “full of left- wingers and sympathizers for this bill.” “Mr. Thurmond,” roared Pastore, “I’ve been around here a long time, and that question you asked was a loaded question.” He then banged the gavel ‘and told the crowd it would have to control itself.

Instead, McNamara ordered the services to outline plans and to report to him by Aug. 15. He authorized creation of a new position — that of deputy assistant secretary of defense for civil rights — to carry out an anti-discrimination program.
