Text Any textual data included in the document September 12, 1966 For Pulse of the Public Atlanta Constitution Atlanta, Georgia ATLANTA Meyor Ivan Allen understands the true meaning of "emergency" es being a time to emerge. Every emergency is like a knife ~— if it is picked up by the blade it will hurt, but if the "knife" is picked up by the handle it can be of service. The mayor has axstrong hand =— guided by an intelligent head and an understanding heart — that hes picked up Atlanta's current racial emergency by the handle to serve the entire city. Ivan Allen combines from Margaret Mitbhell's "Gone With The Wind” characters the dignified refinement of an Ashley Wilkes with the manly courage of a Rhett Butler. From a fuller quotation by Ernest Dowson, including Miss Mitehell's famous title, is: "I have fergot much, Cynara! gone with the wind, Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng." Mayor Allen has flung roses of words and deeds -- fragant of law and order — in the past week's throng. He hes the respect and admiration of all Atlenta citizens. Atlenta now is no Scarlett O'Hara who can afforn|.to put off thinking abovt problems until tomorrow. The mayor is truly leading the way on a today basis.

Box 4628 525-3871 Atlanta, Georgia 30302 September 15, 1966 The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Mayor: I have not been able to move about in recent days because of a visit to the hospital. One advantage of a restriction of this sort is that a person watches more television and listens to the radio more. The result in my case was that I heard a great deal more news than I would have otherwise. This came at the time we had the unfortunate incident on Capitol Avenue and Ormond Street, and later Boulevard and North Avenue. In my opinion, you did a great job as Mayor of the City, in keeping the situation under the best possible control. I thought the Police Department also did a fine job. It is impossible for a city to provide the needs of all the unfortunate; but it is not impossible for a city to work toward the improvement of living conditions, and the economic opportunities of its citizens. One of the encouraging things to me that came out of these explosive and delicate moments was your continued recognition of the fact that termination of the demonstrations and the unrest did not mean that the problems which motivated the demonstrators had been solved. It seems to me clear that we should continue to analyze conditions and the causes of racial strife, with the hope that government officials, business leaders , and the leaders of the Negro community will do whatever can be done to eliminate the conditions that gen erate the strife. I will help in any way I can by offering some of my time and some of my money.

Box 4628 525-3871 Atlanta, Georgia 30302 September 15, 1966 The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Mayor: I have not been able to move about in recent days because of a visit to the hos- pital. One advantage of a restriction of this sort is that a person watches more television and listens to the radio more, The result in my case was that I heard a great deal more news than I would have otherwise. This came at the time we had the unfortunate incident on Capitol Avenue and Ormond Street, and later Boulevard and North Avenue, In my opinion, you dida great job as Mayor of the City, in keeping the situation under the best possible control, I thought the Police Department also did a fine job. It is impossible for a city to provide the needs of all the unfortunate; but it is not impossible for a city to work toward the improvement of living conditions, and the economic opportunities of its citizens. One of the encouraging things to me that came out of these explosive and delicate moments was your continued recognition of the fact that termination of the demonstrations and the unrest did not mean that the problems which motivated the demonstrators had been solved, It seems to me clear that we should continue to analyze conditions and the causes of racial strife, with the hope that government officials, business leaders, and the leaders of the Negro community will do whatever can be done to eliminate the conditions that generate the strife. I will help in any way I can by offering some of my time and some of my money, With best personal wishes, I am Sincerely yours, Me lard?
