Dear Mayor Allen:
I read in the July 27 issue of the NEW Y RK TIMES
of your appeal to Congress to pass the President's
Civil Rights bill.
I wish to congratulate you on your stand and to let you
know that many of us "northerners" share the view that
when equality before the law becomes a reality the Negro Is best friend will be found belo w the Mason-Dixon
line.
I particularly liked your expressed views on the
Supreme Court. I, too, have a schoolgirl's reverence
for the Court and believe that in our present civil
rights struggles legislation must lead the way for
the expanding heart and the opening mind.
Kno wing full well ho w your hands must be filled with
the exigencies of your high office, nevertheless I am
brash enough to hope that perhap s I may have the
pleasure of hearing from you sometime in the future.
Again I salute you. When that happy dawn breaks when
racial strife in the United States will be a thing of
the past, you and your worthy neighbor Ralph McGill , can
well bask in the ensuing sunshine.
Sincerely,
Marye Myes

Your Honor,

What a joy it was to read your thoughtful — and for a Southener,
courageous testimony in favor of the proposed Naticnal Civil Rights legislation.
I agree with Senator Pastore when he said that you should be included in
President Kennedy's Profiles of Courage. I am sure that with people like you to
help that some time in the future we may all salutecour flag and when we
say " with liberty and justice for all" we may no longer need to suffer the
knowledge that , at present this statement is not true.

Many thanks for your help towards a better America.
