The C ommunity Council of t he Atlanta Area, Inc., recently studied the area where the rioting occurred and reported that the chances of an outbreak were "good." It cited poor h ousing, dislike of the p olice, few r ecr ea tion facilities and s kepticisrn toward the city's p romises of help.

About 750 city policemen were in the area and 300 state police troopers stood by. A large police force patrolled the 11rea toda.y, but only a few Incidents were reported. About 10 persons were arrested this afternoon when they refused to break up a street-comer "black power" rally. · Fire Bomb Thrown A Molotov cocktail was throw into a building a t a nother Negro area about two miles away early this morning. The building, 'housing a tire company, was heavily damaged. Four other less serious fires that officials considered possible case of arson were reported. Fire fig hting was hindered because about 500 firemen are on strike. Atlanta officials never have been friendly toward the t deot cmnmi~ee, which has id its headquar ers here since it was organized in 1960. But the tttitude has become more hostile in recent months as the organization has turned toward black power and way from nonviolence.

Twelve of Its members were promptly a rrested. The charges included disorderly conduct.

"Many of the brothers [party members] went to this school," a party official said as he watohed a picket line of 15 in the a.f.temoon that replaced the demonstrators arrested during the morning. Officials said 80 per cent of the school's 1,200 pupils attended, a nd said most of the a bsences were normal for the first day of school. Their boycott demands include the placing of more Negro educa tors in supervisory positions, the teaching of African and Negro history 11,nd the promotion of ,t he neighborhood-school concept so that "the administrative structure reflects the ethnic composition" ot t Jte nelgborhood. · Parents' Position I The local P arents Association has long advocated similar r eforms, but it does not back t he Black Panthe s, although some ?Jarehts .do.

When Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. rushed to the scene and climbed ' upon & police car to talk to the rioters, they surged toward him and rocked the car &Cain &nd again until the Mayor, !b.aken but uninjured, tumbled to the street. The 55-year-oJd Mayor scrambled to his feet and then raced about the riot area, which Is only two blocks from the new $18-milllon Atla:nta: Stadliml. "Go h ome," be pleaded "Please go home." "Don't go-slay here and protest police brutality," said lpembers ot the student committee, who walked behind the :Mayor, The police said Stokely carmlchael, the committee's 25year-old chairman, had reached tree-lined Capitol Avenue soon atter the shooting and told Negroes that "we're going to be back at 4 P.M. and tear this place up."

Only 23.8 percent believe the rioting was harmful t o attainment of this objective. The obvious inference from t his 1s t hat t he demagogue, t he r acist-in-reverse, will find his best opportunit y in the gh ettos and that t his is why he makes his maj or pit ch there. It should be bor ne in mind, however, t hat t he ghetto is not synonym'.bus with t he Negro communi ty in the United States. Many Negroes do not live in ghettos. The moderate Negro leader, however, has a responsibiUty to help allevialte the conditions in the ghetto. And he also has a responsibility to st and up and be counted in oppositiion to those who seek t o exploit the distress in the ghettos for purposes of their own-from mot ives which are ~~ best dubious and which in the long run can only retard the drive of the Negro for his equal and righ tful place in the American society. Here in Washington, t he investi- a-own n n cm,nc,c----,. . - - - - ample n crac and incitement to violence, the country should h ear before long from other moderate voices. For if one thing is clear, it is thait fut ure progress in civil right s depends upon co-operation within the framework of law by whites and Negroes whose dedication to equal treatment and equ~l opportunity is genuine rather than opportunistic. If an yone doubts this, let him look at what is happening to t he 1966 oivil rights bHl iI\ the Senate. There certainly is nothing to be gained in the fu ture by following those who think or who p,r etend to think of progress in terms of black power, and who talk nonsense about burning down the city to get what they want. An important thing for everyone to remember is t hat gains can be lost . And one way to reverse the national mood which has produced so many very substantial civil r igh ts gains is to enlist an army under the racist . banner of hot heads who want the Negro t o go it alone. �LLOYD W.

That affair, involving a clash between Negroes and police, has been under study by a group of prominent citizens appointed by Commissioner Tobriner. Its co-chairman is Sterling Tucker, a respect ed Negro leader. The study group has reached no conclusions. In fact, it is just beginning the job of drafting its report . Yet Adam Clayton Powell, whose posit ion in Congress entitles one to expect something better from him, has charged into print with the accusation that the investigation is a "whitewash " and that the committee has too many "mild-mannered Negroes." Following this lead, Julius Hobson, who heads the group known as ACT, paid his respects to "pasteurized Negroes" on the committee who, he said, would sell oth er Negroes short "for a and two of his SNCC lieutenants on charges of inciting last week's riot in Altlanta may mark a turning point in what appears to be a struggle for supremacy beitween the moderate and the extremist elements in the civil rights movement . The importance of the decision by Atlant a's Mayor Allen, who has taken a strong lead in behalf of Negro rights, -lies in one simple fact. Public officials, assuming that the requisite proof is in hand, must be willing to prosecute a Carmichael or anyone else where a serious offense is involved. If for a political reason or some other reason they will not take firm action against a leader, how can they expect those in the lciwer echelons to respect and obey the law? And, of at least equal importance, wh y should anyone suppose t ha;t--the moderate civil rights leaders will speak out and act against violence 1! the civil authoribies are unwilling to do so?

It will be t ragic 1!, because of weak knees in oity hall, it should be made to appear that the rock-thrower and the Molotov cocktail are the wave of the fut ure. There is risk of oversimplification in discussing the moderate as opposed to the extremist wings. There is good reason to believe that a very large majority of Negroes do not support and are even opposed to the extremist tactics. This does not necessarily mean, however, that all moderates will condemn t he extremists out of hand. Some of them may even derive a certadn vicar1- .. ous saJtisfaction from the excesses of a Carmichael or an Adam Clayton Powell, [ even though t hey know in their hearts that an appeal to black power, for ex' ample, can eventually lead only t o a 1 dead-end street as far as any perma- I 1 few pieces of silver.

In this connection, it is interesting to note t he results of a recent survey conducted by a respeoted polling agency in Watts, Harlem, Chicago a nd Baltimore. The questions were asked by trained Negro pollsters. And the responses revealed that most Negroes, even in the ghettos, want pretty much the same things that most white people want . They want better housing. Not surprisingly, since they are the principal victims, they are worried about crime, and th ey are more interested in adequa,te police protection than in talk about police brwtaJity. They want their children to have a sound, disciplined education. In Harlem only 2 percent of t hose interviewed said that school integration was t heir greatest problem. The real educational problem, in the majority opinion, is the pressing need for better neigh borhood schools. Again, a cautionary note is in order. It does not necessavily follow from the survey findings that most of the people in the ghettos are against violence 1:n pursuit of their reasonable objectives. In Watts, for example, 48.4 percent ot those interviewed think the rioting there helped their chances for equali~ in jobs, schools and housing.

And it should not be allowed to go unchallenged. Althoug·h not aimed specifically at the Powell-Hobson combination, the executive board of the District chapter of the NAACP h as just approved a resolution which is a reflection of responsible thinkihg by moderate leadership. The resolution, offered by H. Carl Moultrie, president of the local branch, said that t he NAACP "must condemn with equal Vigor the gath ering Of crowds to protest the arrest of an individual, or individuals, as it does any form of police brutality." If witnesses think the police are guilty of brutaJity in making an arrest, the resolution continued, ~here are appropriate avenues, including the NAACP, through which corrective action can be sought. But "violen ce on t h e part of a person, or persons, or gr oups of persons, must be unequivocally condemned." The resolution ended with an expression of· hope that "all other organizations do the same as we in calling· for law and order." . _so far the call from other organizations has been considerably less than deafening. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, however, has just denounced "black power" in any context of violence.

Atlanta and LA There are mayors and there are mayors. Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. of Atlanta has been 1a:tely in the news, his city having been the scene of racial rioting even though it is the mos,t advanced of major Southern cdities in the enlightened handling of its racial pTOblems. Mayor Al. !en not o-Il!ly acknowledges the problems but concedes that his ' city has not pl.'logressed as fast as desiraMe in eliminating them. In stark cont rast to most Southern politioia,ns, he testified in favor of the public accommodaticms section of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, saying Federal law in this area was necessary; he has favored the open occupancy section of the civil rights bill which p•aissed the House of Represenrtartives. Throughout the riotilng in h1s city, Mayor Allen was on the scene, in the thick of it, literally r isking life and limb. He didn't remember a speech he had to give in another part of the state, excuse himself from duty and take off. He didn't limit his efforts to the obvious cries for ·support of the police in the face of violence. He worked closely and constantly with Negroes and whites trying to ·restore order. One has the feeling that if Mayor Allen of Atlanta were appe~ring before a Senate committee there would be no need for questionling concerning his leadership abilities, but that if such questions were asked, and no matter how severely phrased, he would have meaningful answers, for his city and for himself. He wouldn't plead helplessness. There are mayors and there are mayors. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
