Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor's Office Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mr. Allen: I would like to take this opportunity to express to you my admiration for you and the manner in which you handled the Negro roit on September 6, 1966. I was able to see some of the roit on the CBS evening news here in Columbus, and I must say that you displayed a great amount of courage in placing yourself in the middle of such a mob. However, the main reason I am wr iting to you is due to a remark I heard you make at the heigth of t he roit. That remark, in essence, was when you addressed yourself to a Negro taking part in the roit and you told him that regardless of what he may think about who was running the City of Atlanta that fact was that you were running the city and that was the way it was going to be. Taking such a firm attitude at such a critical moment shows, in my opinion, the true colors of a man and I would say your colors showed true blue. In case you might have some problem in determining exactly who I am, perhaps you can place my by the fact that you and my father went to Georgia Tech together and both of you were S.A.E. 's. Also, I worked for Sen. Harry Jack s on of Columbus during this most recent term of the General Assembly and I saw you on one or two occasions while I was in Atlanta.

Dear Sir: Please let us join with many others in expressing our admiration for the manner in which you handled the very difficult situation yesterday. There are three thoughts that we would like to convey and trust that you will bear with us :1. Your heroism in facing the personal dangers of the moment must be recognized, appreciated and emulated by people of aJ.l stations. Surely the streets of Atlanta should be sater for all citizens because of your brave conduct. We congratulate and honor you. 2. How long can citizens suffer their duly elected officials to expend their time, energy and public funds in order to quell and attempt to satisfy m recalcitrant group, who repeatedly dedicate themselves toward negating the progress that all other citizens are striving to attain. Certainly it must be recognized that the specific conditions they protest are not the result of mistreatment, but rather are the result of the lack of initiative that has existed in their own forebears throughout recorded history. The physical, financial and emotional burden placed upon others (of all races ) is very great and somehow these people must be made to understand---- not to be mislead------ - for therein lies the great danger to our Country. 3. Of all the candidates presently projecting themselves for the Governorship of Georgia, none can approach your statue or qualifications.

Dear Sir: You are very brave and, I am sure, very con- scientious. While I admire your fine qualities I am concerned for your welfare. I would like to site for your consider- ation several examples of mob violence; 1) The stoning of Stephen - Acts 7:56-58 (They "stopped ther ears" - cast him out - stoned him) 2) Alexander - Acts 19:34 - the mob cried for two hours "Great is Diana of the Ephesians". Mobs will not listen 4 3) Paul - many times beaten, stoned, left for dead, finally beheaded in Rome. Some listened but the majority did not | 4) Pilate - saw that he could prevail noth- ing - washed his hands - Matthew 27:24 For further reference see: Acts 17:5 - an uproar ! Acts 19:29 - the whole city was filled with confusion ! (and v. 40 - uproar !) Acts 21:30, 34 "all the city was moved | "some cried one thing, some another" I Cor. 14:33 "For God is not the author of confusion" James 3:16 - "confusion and every evil work" "Let all things be done decently and in order." I Cor.14:40. The real trouble is that Christians have failed to get out the Gospel messase | "Love never faileth" !(I Cor. 13:3) Now it is a little late for this approach. They will not listen !
