Dear Mayor .Allen:
This is the first time in my life I have ever been moved to write to
a public official; however, at a time when I am most ashamed of my

disgusting outcome of the Democratic primary.
You have, in my opinion, done an excellent job as Mayor of Atlanta.
In the future, if you should run for any public office - whether it
be for mayor or governo r - I will not only vote for you, but will be
happy to work toward your election.
Jus t one thing - couldn't you please just this once vote for a
Republican and forget the fishing tripl I, too, am a Democrat but
am concerned to a point of fr enzy over the possibility of Georgia
fall i ng into the hands of a mad man . our state needs HELP!

I was born and r ais ed in Atlant a , and I have lived
in Wes t Palm Beach f or appr oximately t en year s .
However , I am a member of the Young Democra tes of
Florida and I am naturally interested in ihat is going
on in my home t own in t he way of politics.
I was shocked to learn of t h e outcome of the
Democratic primary, but your statement, which I heard
on television that night ~as s ome consolation. I have
to admire you for stating what .you believe is right,
which is more t han can be said for Mr . Maddox. I am
very concerned about t h e up-coming election. I believe
that if Lester Maddox is elected governor of Georgia ,
it will be t he greatest set-back Georgia as had.
I am an "A" student in civics and .American
government, and a member of the Senior class of
Forest Hill Hi gh School in West Palm Beach . Being
only nineteen, I am unable to vote, but, as t hey say:.

The Honorable Ivan Allen,
Mayor of Atlanta,
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mr. Mayor:
As graduate students at the University of Georgia and "adopted"
Georgians we feel compelled to write this note of appreciation
and support. Your stand during the recent civil rights distur-
bances in Atlanta and your courageous, non-theatrical exposure
of your person at the scene of the disturbances are, in our
opinion, without precedent. We also have preat admiration for
your stand on the Maddox situation, and appreciate the difficult
position your courage and integrity forces you to take.
Though a minor point, we would like to tell you that Stokeley
Carmichael's public descriptions of you as "King Ivan" and "Race
Czar" brought, to our personal knowledge, nothing but contempt
for his ridiculous charade,
Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor. You have our support as well as
our admiration.
Yours truly, Pe Grnuiuiet

Atlantea,Ga. 30306
; Sept.30, 1966
Mayor Ivan Allen
City Hall
Atlanta, Ga,
Dear Mayor Allen:
In this morning's paper I read of your horrified reaction to Lester
Maddox's victory in the runoff, and I felt compelled to write you and
tell you how much I share your feelings. I have never before felt such
horrified disbelief coupled with such profaund sadness. The contest be-
tween Maddox and Calloway is a contest between an insane racist and a
sahe racist; that's all. Maybe I'll go fishing on election day, too,
I've onLy lived in Atlanta for two years, but I think you've been
doing a wonderful job as mayor, and I've been particularly delighted with
your thoughtful and enlightened attitude towards racial matters. When
you and other guests sang "We Shall Overcome" at the testimonial dinner
for Martin Iuther King, jr. after he won the Nobel Prize, I remember think-
ing how few northern mayors, let alone southern ones, would have the guts
to do something like that, i was Similarly impressed with the thoughtful
and yet firm manner in which you handled the recent racial disturbances
in Atlanta,
I'm certain that your intelligent and understanding outlook on racial
matters will probably get you into many scraps with our next governor,
be it Maddox or Calloway, and I, just want you to know that here are two
more Georgians -— my wife - who will be behind you one hundred
per cent.

A written representation of a document.
October 3 1966
Dear Mayor Allen,
I am writing simply to say that I am proud to have
you as Mayor of our city.
I have always supported you, but along with many others,
I don't think I realized what kind of man you we re until our
recent "riots". I believe that you really care about Atlanta
in a very personal way.
The main reason for my writing this though is because
of your stand on our "political race" held last week. Many
lea de rs must have shared your v iew that it was "deplorable",
yet how many said so? Only you and Congressman Weltner,
who has given up a lot for his conviction.
Again, thank you for being a "strong" leader and for
caring about our great city .
Sincerely,
7Jfw . vlr rf0/;~cl

New York's new newspaper-The World Journal Trib eis a lively, interesting, extremely informative sheet.
While the makeup leans to
that of the old ~orld:Telegram,
it does not duplicate it. Some of
the format suggests the former

more effectively kill a newspa:per ~ban a dull I?akeup. W-J-T,

ways. E numerating s o m e of
these-and all are earmarks of
a great newspaper-the following are obvious:
(1) Advertising is_ kept in its
proper place. T~e ~st page of
the second section. 1s clear of
advertising. ~he . first page of
the third sectiOf! 1s clear of advertising. The first page of the
fourth section is clear of advertising. Yet the paper as a whole
isJull of advertising.
(2) There is· ample coverage
of national and international
news.
(3 ) The page opposite the editorial page is also kept free of
advertising. Here, and on the
editorial page itself, are some
of the top columnists in the nation - a total of nine at present.
True, it doesn't have all of
them. It doesn't have Joseph
Kraft or Doris Fleeson. But it
has enough of them that the
J ustice department is crying
"Monopoly! " The present antitrust suit against the World
Journal Tribune is based on
j w,t this contention. Dorothy
Schiff New York Post publisher
- the 'new paper's one evening
rival-claims she tried her best
to get some of them but
couldn't. However this may be,
the W-J-T has two solid pages
of lively and provocative editorial matter.
Di\ILY BOOK REVIEW
•4) It has a daily book review,
ithout which no metropolitan
new paper can claim to be a
g r e a t newspaper. B o o k s

spect it has some
something that no her daily
newspaper in America can
boast. Its listing of ' Book Out
1'roay," which is broken down
jnto "Non-Fiction" and "Fie," is printed in large, clear
e! No r elegation to hard-torcAd six-point or agate type,
Thi s is clearly a first in American journalism and r eports
from Fourth Avenue say it has
book readers cheering in the
streets !
(5) The new J¥1per has significant coverage of art, music,
the dance , ti
theater, photography, b a 1 t, motion pictures , night clubs and - of
course - radio and TV. No major cultural activity is overlooked. .The coverage is more
complete than any of its three
predecessors.
2 TOPS IN SPORTS
(6) ThE;! sports section, yith
two top columnists, Red Srl1ith
and Jimmy Cannon, is p obably unequaled in New . rk.
Key statistics, like bas hall
standings, are printed in lar ge,
clear type, nor are " Yesterday's
R e· s u I t s" and " Tomorrow's
Games" buried in small type. A
seemingly little matter, but a
bench mark of a great newspaper.
(7) Most financial and business pages are factual but dull.
There is drama, however, in
business and finance. W-J-T
catches some of it i lively fashion. And its stock market prices
are complete and readable.

New York’s new newspaper—The World Journal Tribipe—|,
is a lively, interesting, extremely informative sheet.
While the makeup leans to
that of the old World-Telegram,
it does not duplicate it. Some of
the format suggests the former
Herald-Tribune. Anyway, the ef-
fect is dramatic. Nothing, ex-
cept sheer lack of news, can
more effectively kill a newspa-
per than a dull makeup. W-J-T,
in this category, is tops.
NUMEROUS FIRSTS
It is also tops in many other
ways. Enumerating some of
these—and all are earmarks of
a great newspaper—the follow-
ing are obvious:
(1) Advertising is kept in its
proper place. The first page of
the second section is clear of
advertising. The first page of
the third section is clear of ad-
vertising. The first page of the
fourth section is clear of adver-
tising. Yet the paper as a whole
is full of advertising.
(2) There is ample*cayerage
of national and international
news.
(3) The page opposite the edi-
torial page is also kept free of
advertising. Here, and on the
editorial page itself, are some
of the top columnists in the na-
tion — a total of nine at present.
True, it doesn’t have all of
them. It doesn’t have Joseph
Kraft or Doris Fleeson. But it
has enough of them that the
Justice department is crying
“Monopoly!” The present anti-
trust suit against the World
Journal Tribune is based on
just this contention. Dorothy

—the new paper’s one evening
rival—claims she tried her best
to get some of them but
couldn’t. However this may be,
the W-J-T has two solid pages
of lively and provocative edi-
torial matter.
DAILY BOOK REVIEW
(4) It has a daily book review,
without which no metropolitan
newspaper can claim to be a
great mewspaper. Books
are newSi And the World
Journal ‘Telegrim, recognizes
the fact. Moreover, in this re-
speet it has som unique—
something that no @ther daily
fo in ica can
boast. listing of “Books Out
Teday,” which is broken down
into “Non-Fiction” and “Fic-
” is printed in large, clear
! No relegation to hard-to-| x
read six-point or agate type.
This is clamnly a first in Amer- |
ican journalism and reports).
from Fourth Avenue say it has

(5) The new paper has sig-
nificant coverage of art, music,
the dance, thé theater, pho-
tography, ballet, motion pic-
tures, night clubs and — of].
course — radio and TV. No ma-
jor cultural activity is over-
looked. The coverage is more
complete than any of its three
predecessors.
2 TOPS IN SPORTS
(6) The sports section, with
two top columnists, Red Srhith )
and Jimmy Cannon, is prob-
ably unequaled in New Yiirk.
Key statistics, like baseball
standings, are printed in large,
clear type, nor are “Yesterday's
Results” and “Tomorrow’s

seemingly little matter, bui a
bench mark of a great news-
paper.

ness pages are factual but dull.
There is drama, however, in
business and finanee. W-J-T
catches some of it imlively fash-
ion. And its stock market prices
are complete and readable.
fTHE HUMAN ANGLE
And, finally, there is the in-
evitable human angle. A top

Dear Mayor All en:
How refreshing it was to read your statement on the
results of the elec tion September 28th .! Every word of it was
true and I think you analyzed the situat i on exactly. Yo u are
t o be commended for having the courage to say it. The pity is
that others in high official position in our State and National
government a re silent in the presence of a possible catast rophe
facing Georgia.
As a Georgian I feel a s hamed before the world because
of what happened . As a lawyer, I shudder with overwhe lming
dismay at the thought that the nominee of the Democratic party
might have an opportunity to appointment more than one-half of
the members of the Georgia Supreme Court. Four of the seven
members of the Court are more than 72 years of age ; one is 75 .
Even the three youngest members are 6 2, 60 and 57 years of age
r esp e ctively.
·
Every Georgian will need to search h is own conscience
between now and the General Election. As for me, if I must
embrace Maddox t o save the Democratic party, it is not worth
saving in Georgia.
I hop e I shall have the pl ea s ure of meeting y ou
sometime .

Deer Mayor Allen,
*rom & very ordinery citizen comes a letter of ad
miration for the way you refused to go along with ell
the others with the nomination of Lester Maddox. When
you were praised for you courageous sction during the
recent riots, you were spoken of the mayor with "guts."
If enyone had any doubts sbout the amount of "guts" you
possessed, he should have none left now. For, to me, it
took more courege to denowve this man than to stand on
top of e cer and face the unruly mob (no smell trickyn iT SELF,
mind you). But, here, you did not go slong with the
PIG ROYS. When it came your turn, you stood up end sain,
"No Thanks, I'm not having any."
This must be a bitter pill for you to swallow.
I'm sure you have worked so hard to bring Atlenta up to
the high standard and reputation she now enjoys. I, too,
believe that Georgia will take a gient step backward,
snd whet e shame She hes so much going for her. I
feel a great many people are looking to you for some
kind of leadership right now. If you "go fishing" on
Election Day, you can bet that leke is going to be very
crowded with fellow fishermen. All democrets who now
stand adrift, betwixt and between, need you to show them
the way. What a challenge to lead, but, you, Sir, are
the man for the job.
Most, sincerely,

Ivan Allen, Jr., Mayor
City Hall
68 Mitchell St., S.W.
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Mr. Allen:
I am a law student at Emory and have met you on several
occasions in connection with my friendship with your son
Inman.
I seldom write letters to public officials, but at this
time when events have been so discouraging for our city and
state, I feel a duty to extend my support to you and express
my confidence in your leadership.
My wife and I were visiting in New York City during the
first two weeks in September. As the news of the Summerhill
and Boulevard disturbances unfolded, your initiative and
courage were not only reassuring but made me very proud to
be able to say that I was an Atlantan.
I further believe that the nomination of Lester Maddox
not only justified your subsequent statement but demanded it.
It is a sad commentary on the leadership of our state that
you alone had the integrity to denounce this most dangerous
mane
The withdrawal of Congressman Weltner has raised the sug=
gestion that you may seek election to this seat. In any
capacity in which you decide to serve our city, My wife Jane
and I extend to you our greatest respect and our willingness
to contribute to your work in any way in which we are able.
Yours truly,
Harry L. Delung, Jr.
