dear Mayor Allen:
It is indeed regrettable that we as citizens of Atlanta had to witness the
deplerable incident that took place on Capitol Ave. recently and more similar incidents
sinceo We do realize that all over the world there is discord and seemingly hatred
everywhere we turn. Yet there are many of us who believe finn.ly that we can ~ite
t~ge~her with brotherly love and erase this hatred from the face of the earth.
As Christians we recommend an easy and simple method• If we would come together
just now on that one accord and plant that tiny seed of love in our hearts and minds•
spreading it to the four corners of the earth in prayer and faith, believing that the
Lord God, himself would be with us at his appointment and settle these world affairs
and differences. As we think on this• let's remember these words of our Lord and
Savior "Love yea one another as I have also loved you." If all people at this world
would turn to God on this day• we would doubt such an incident would. happen again in
Atlanta, Ga. or any other cityo


Ma.yor Allen I have a patriot-love song ti..t I feel would be very fitting for ti.mas


like theseo If these wordsswere to reach out to the people, I would like to be convinced that there would be a change in man's heart and show more oonoern for brotherly• ·
love for one another as 'patriotic .AJnericans' should.

It is indeed regrettable that we as citizens of Atlanta had to witness the
deplorable incident that took place on Capitol Avee recently and more similar incidents
sinceo We do realize that all over the world there is discord and seemingly hatred
everywhere we turne Yet there are many of us who believe firmly that we can wite
together with brotherly love and erase this hatred from the face of the earthe

As Christians we recommend an easy and simple methode If we would come together
just now on thet one accord and plant that tiny seed of love in our hearts and minds,
spreading it to the four corners of the earth in prayer and faith, believing that the
Lord God, himself would be with us at his appointment and settle these world affairs

and differencese As we think on this, let's remember these words of our Lerd and
Savior "Love yea one another as I have also loved youe" If all people of this world
would turn to God on this day, we would doubt such an incident would happen again in
Atlanta, Gae or any other cityo

Mayor Allen I have a patriot-love song that I feel would be very fitting for times
like theseo If these wordsswere to reach out to the people, I would like to be con=
vineced that there would be a change in man's heart and show more concern for brotherly-
love for one another as ‘patriotic Americans' shoulde

I am sending you enclosed to keep a copy of such a love song which I have composed
myselfe Ido hope you will enjoy the music of "Let's Turn To God Americae"

Dear Mayor Allen:
It is indeed unfortunate that the only
measure of exemplifying appreciation to a person
in your capacity is at the voting polls. If ever
an individual deserved national recognition for
gallantry and actions far beyond the call of duty,
in my opinion, you would be entitled to this
recognition.
Having maintained a First Aid Station
in the riot areas both on Capitol Avenue and
Boulevard, I saw first handed the raw courage and
absolute determination and intestinal fortitude
that you possess. There is little doubt in my
mind that your actions avoided a great conflict,
and the people of this community as well as those
of our neighboring areas should be gra teful to you .
I am privileged and honored to be able to state
tha t you are 'bur Mayor" .
With kindes t pers onal regards .

RACIAL DISORDER AND MOB AC-
TION IN AMETUICUS, GA.

Mr. TALMADGE. Mr. President, the
southwest Georzia eliy of Americus has
become another in a lone and unhappy
line of American communities to be seb
Upon by racial agitation wand violent
disorder.

The traric vietim of miiitant and ar-
rorant advecates of a philosephy tiat
threatens to destroy the American ideal
that ours is a Nation of laws and not of
men, upon which is based the freedom of
all Americans recardiess of race, creed,
or color, Americus, Ga. has been made
the scence of racial disorder and mob ac-
tion. Already there has oecurred a
brutal and senseless killing of a yaunr
U.S. Marine cniistee who was shot dawn
in cold bleod while standing on a ptrect
corner. ‘Two Nerrocs have been charred
with bis murder.

We pray that violence will end in this
strife-lorn city, (at peace and order will
be returned, sud that wilever dilfer-
enees exist between eitizens will be re-
solved in eceordanee wilh ile processes
of civilized taw, and nat. ncenrdin® to the
law of tie jimele, We pray that there
will be sg more deaths, and that the
food ciuzens of Americus, of both rarees,
will look to their minds and their hearts
and them conrciences for nm solution ta
preblems of tnman relations, aoe that.
there vhoare bent upon pittine neiebbor
arainss neivhber, whe make a profession
out of inciting riots and dissension, will
cense and desint.

Accord: in newspaper aceounis, thee
difienlues in Ameriens arose over voter
Tesistration procedures. I have stated

 

  
  

 

 

 

berars, and To repeat here today that I
faver the fll and unhindered right to
vote of every qualified Amerienan cili-

ven, and wherever this richt is being de-
nied there should be corrective action.
The rieht to vote is muarantecd by the
Constitution ond well-protected by stot-
utory law, inehiding the so-called Voting
Rirhts Act which now lies on the Presi-
dent's desk, which is enforecable in every
court in the land, both State and Fed-
eral.

Tean find no justification for the wave
of rioting which has swept the country
_over alleged deprivation of constitutional

RACIAL RIOTING IN LOS ANGELES

Mr, TALMADGE. Mr. President, the
entire Nation is shocked and horrified
by the racial rioting in the city of Los
Anteies. In the wake of this holocaust,
in which more than 30 lives have been
lost and wieeh still rages in some parts
of the Los Angeles area, various sid sun-
dry so-called explanations and exes
have been offered by experts in the Gelds
of Jaw enforcement, soctolory, psyehol-
ory, psychiatry, urban affairs, and eeca-
nomics.

Recardiess of how learned the expert
ov how scholarly the presentation, 1, for
one, canna comprelicnd how poverty,
sinm conditions, unemployment, cultural
or econnmiec need, or alloned diserimina-
tion—anas deplorable as they are—ean he
justification for lawlessness and rioting.
T, for one, Mr. President, have yet to be
fiven an scceptable exeuse for takings
the Jaw into one’s own liands. In our
country under the Amerienn sysiem of
government, Lhere is ne such exeise.

Tiowever, [T believe the Washiston
Evening Star in an editorial lest fetur-
day came close to the heart of the roant-
fer. The Star in my apinien prt iis
fineer on a danrerous trend in Ameries
at the prevent fime which we lave seen
manifested in Los Anrmeles, Sprimiuheld,
Mass., Chicago, TIL, New Yori City,
Selma. Als Amerieus Ga. and indeed
throuciioidc dl parts of the Unthed States.

The Star, calling: attention to a crow.
ine contempt for law ood the rindtes of
law-abiding, poopie, asked this very per.
tinent question:

What ia the efecto on respect for uw when
prominent members of the clergy announce

Dear Friend:

Permit me to acknowledge andthank you for sending
me a copy of your letter to the Secretary of State.

I deplore violence under any circumstances and
especially so when it is related to the racial situation.
of the inescapable lessons of history shows that it is much
easier to generate mob action than it is to control it.

One

Those in high office have no idea of the untold
damage they are doing to sur constitutional system hy
approving these demonstrations. I have attacked this
attitude time and again, but unfortunately, the rest of the
country has chosen to make the South the whipping boy in all
Kacial matters and through the use of all of the communi-
eations media (including had abuse of the television) have
generated feeliag aqainst the South: amounting almost to a
national disease. Unfortunately, the “chickens will come
home to roost" with them, for attack on orderly government
ean only result in anarchy.

With cvery good wish, T am

We are very proud, Mayor Allen - - - - - - - - - - - - - - of the wonderful spirit which you showed to Atlanta, Georgia,
and yes, even the entire country during the recent riot in
the Negro community\
As maey of us feel, we are moving too slowly in the slum clearances, both for Negroes and Whites, but I also realize this
problem cannot be solved overnight, and to a degree, we will
always have problem areas in housing especially. I do feel,
hoever, that anyone, whether he be Negro or White, who fails
to obey the laws of our cities, states, and Federal government,
should be punished.
I felt that you were the person for the job as Mayor, I voted
for you, I have not always agreed with your thinking on every
subject, but I do pledge my full support to a man as yourself,
who will take the stand and back law and order in our City, as
you did the other night.
May you have many years in which to
serve our City, as I feel that your leadership in our great
City of Atlanta has been a 11 booster 11 for Atlanta, Georgia, and
even the Southl
Sincerely yours,

Mayor Ivan Allen
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia

We are very proud, Mayor Allen -------+-*+-*-+--+ &lt;&lt;&lt;

of the wonderful spirit which you showed to Atlanta, Georgia,
and yes, even the entire country during the recent riot in
the Negro commnity}!

As many of us feel, we are moving too slowly in the slum clear-
ances, both for Negroes and Whites, but I also realize this
problem cannot be solved overnight, and to a degree, we will
always have problem areas in housing especially. I do feel,
hoever, that anyone, whether he be Negro or White, who fails

to obey the laws of our cities, states, and Federal government,
should be punished.

I felt that you were the person for the job as Mayor, I voted
for you, I have not always agreed with your thinking on every
subject, but I do pledge my full support to a man as yourself,
who will take the stand and back law and order in our City, as
you did the other night. May you have many years in which to
serve our City, as I feel that your leadership in our great
City of Atlanta has been a "booster" for Atlanta, Georgia, and
even the South!

Sincerely yours,

7 (Mrs.) Bobbie M. Sledge

Mayor Ivan Allen Jre,
% City Hall, ;
Atlanta, Georgiae

Dear Mr. Allen,

Just to let you know that you have my personal admiration
and approval of your handling of the recent racial disturbances
in our city.

As one of your very first supporters for the office of
mayor I was one of the small number of citizens that were not
surprised at your display of courage when the chips were downy
as it was what I had anticipated from a field grade officer, (Major)
from our wareosworld war 2, and this was what dicated my writing
a letter to the editors that appeared in the Atlanta Journal of
Sept. 15th issue in support of your actione

Your action as you know has attracted national attention,
and you may be pressured to accept 2nd spot on a national ticket.

I still have your letter telling me that you only wished to
be mayor of Atlanta, and did not want any national office. I thought
your decision wise at the time, and still think you would have more
political influence as mayor of a great city than as a "Veep" on any
ticket nationally, altho it sooms obvious to me that “Bobby" Kennedy
is giving you serious consideration as a possible running mate IF he
should head a national ticket for the Democratic Party, as you'd be q
natural for him despite the difference in your ages, looking at it
from the practical view that the Kennedy money can take the Ne Hast,
Ohio, Illinois and the far West (California) but no amount of mone
can carry the South for Bobby Kennedyl Texas would at least split ES -60
for him, the anti-LBJ vote....as I see ite

If offered such a deal and you wish to try it in the future, my
offer of help for you is still open and I still have a heavy political
following in most of the States. We were unable to put Sam Yorty over
in California BUT it was a close ones.eeand make no mistake about it
Sam Yorty is a good man. He was, in our war, Capt. Sam Yorty, Air Corp,
attached to the 3rd Ampyyon Leyte in the Pacificao..but I agree with
the majority of the people of our city that Atlanta needs your proven
Leadership, most especially during these trying times of racial unrest
along with rapid economic growth, and I hope that even tho offered
such a post yous ill chose to remain in Atlantae

              <text>This letter was sent to the Atlanta Journal and Atlanta Constitution today.

September 19, 1966
To the Editor:
UPGRADED or DEGRADED?

It 4s hereby suggested that citisens of Atlanta proclaim a MAYOR IVAN ALLSN
APPRECIATION DAY in honor of the illustrious (and commensense) mayor, He was
directly responsible for quelling possible riots instigated by angry individuals
giving vent to their feelings after unfortunate shooting incidents on North
Boulevard Street ani other areas, |

A weiter has viewed his opinion that the scene of the mayor being jostled from
an automobile top to the grouml only to land on his knees before the rioting

crowl was ‘degrading.’ Frankly, my first thought was that the mayor was most
agile in picking himself up before anyone could start a count—iowm to ten.

As can be expected of any brave ani honorable General he was there ready to go
into battle with his men on the battlefield, if need be. However, the peppery
mayor was on the seene placating in the capacity of peacemaker.

The aforementioned writer who 'fired* me up to write this letter has added that
it was a ‘sickening experience* to see the mayor jeered and chanted dow on Boulevard.

Just a reminder that another peacemaker at another time carried his cross to
Calvary amidst jeers and cheers ani has been revered for two thousani years for
his complete dedication to his God«given purpose of bringing light ani truth ani
peace into the world.

Dear Ivan:

There are many reasons why I value your friendship so
highly. Foremost among these, of course, is the fact that your
father was one of my staunchest supporters during the many years
I was with the Atlanta Retail Merchants Association. He was a
great encouragement to me and stood behind me in everything I did.

I shall remember always that you cancelled an out-of-town
engagement to be the speaker at the testimonial given Reba and me
by the Association shortly before my retirement. That alone would
endear you to me forever.

Then you had the vision and courage to give Atlanta Big
League Baseball and Football. Baseball is my favorite sport, and
it is wonderful to have the opportunity to see right here in Atlanta
all of the best baseball players in the world. And when Atlanta
gets into a World Series, as I believe she will within the next few
years, I just hope I shall be fortunate enough to see some of those
games.

Just recently you have conducted yourself magnificently
in connection with the Firemen's Strike; and what now appears to
have been a Castro-inspired riot, through some hot-headed revolution-
aries in our midst.

Well, there are many other reasons, and I just felt, in
a time of great stress, that you should be told your friends are
standing solidly behind you in your efforts to make our beloved
Atlanta a beacon-light city for all to see.

Cordially &amp; Sincerely

f)

Mayor, City of Atlanta

Dear Ivan:
For some months I have wanted to write an expression of my
appreciation of your many accomplishments as Mayor and your
outstanding contributions to all the wide spectrum of activities in our great city.
I have deferred writing simply
because I was unable to adequately express myself without
becoming verbose.
After yesterday's exhibitien of raw courage, I can only say
that I am proud of Mayor Ivan Allen and also of the true
citizens of Atlanta who have so carefully conducted themselves under extremely trying circumstances.
When the history of Atlanta is written, I suspect your administration will be recorded a~ one beset by more and greater
problems and by more and greater accomplishments than any
other. The problems are not resolved by any means, but under
your guidance, there is hope of ultimate solutions which will
benefit all citizens in our Atlanta area.
______,
Sincerely yours,
~
