Have you seen any signs of organized “blockbusting"? Do you feel that Atlanta's tremendous use of the Urban Renewal program (which I plan to make a sppech about later in the semester) has affected the trend?

These citizens have invested their life savings in what they had hoped to be their permenant homes. The amount of money offered them by the Board of Ed- ucation for their homes will not enable them to relocate and purchase homes substantially similar to those they now occupy. In the light of the situation described above, the citizens in the area under consideration have organized themselves into a Home Owners Resistance Campaign. They are calling upon and would welcome the support of organizations, and concerned individual citizens to assist them in this etruggle to retain possession and occupancy of their homes.

The membership of the Housing Resources Cammi ttee is an excellent_ example of the problem that creates our concern . By far, the majority of these men, though intellectuals, are either not active in the community or know little about the total problem of housing . The NAACP requests that you seriously consider our valid expression in th re s situation and in the future select individuals who honestly represent the people of our progressive city.

Following the suggestions of your office, We have checked Police Department and . Coroner reports. We have asked Mayor Ivan Allen to also request reports. After reviewing the reports in the Mayor's office and the Coroner's office, as compared to information brought to our attention by concerned citizens of the Perry Homes Community we suggest the following: 1. Thatappropriate officials of the Atlanta Housing Authority be questioned regarding possible negligence in the maintenance of heating system of Perry Homes Apartments. 2. Call in the entire employee staff of Perry Homes for questioning, including employees now terminated but were employed on or after January 1, 1965. We have been informed that Mr. Claude Bates complained on more than one occasion about sickening fumes to the Perry Homes Management Office, without corrective action. Mr. and Mrs. Claude Bates were · fatal victims of carbon monoxide poisoning on February 3, 1965. 3. Suggest that Mr. Charles Kemp, brother of Mrs. Josie Callier, victim, whose body was discovered Saturday, February 25 (died Thursday, February 23rd), along with three children all dead, cause given as carbon monoxide poisoning. Mr. Kemp lives in Perry Homes and he has information that allegedly suggests questionable motives and conduct of ex-husband of victim regarding deaths. 4.
