I was bom and raised in the South -- Atlanta and south Texas - and am only temporarily absented while I am doing my doctorate. I have become of late quite sensitive to the crying lack of moral leadership which seems so prevalent in certain of the southern states. I think that there does exist a sizeable group of intelligent leaders who are willing to assess this problem and its consequences in long range tenns. However, up to now, it almost seems as it this group, if they do in fact exist, have abdicated their responsibility.

It is with distinct pleasure that I applaud your statement . Your courage and willingness to face the outcry of many is to be commended. It has been said that all that is needed for evil to take over is that good men do nothing. I think your stand for what you believe is right is one of the most encouraging signs i n our nation. May I share my view in brief? I fear many are losing s ight of the forest because of the trees . Debate is being turned away f rom the basic question of whether Negroes will be given ful l rights as citizens to a side issue on property . It is good to have a public discussion on property because t here are some genuine reasons for i t , but unf ortunately in t he present context it is mostly a red herring. It is being said t hat a man 1 s business property is like his home . Only in a sense is t hat true. Business property depends on t he communit y for survival. Conversely t he community depends upon t he business proper t y for i t s survival. Business property and the community are i nter dependent. Recognizing t his fact the government already regulates businesses / and their clientel e. For examples: A liquor store owner cannot sell t o mi nor s ; zoning laws will not allow unrestrict ed business pr operties , nor will i t permit hodge-podge expansion . Along the same line the government even s ei zes properties by expropriation through the power of eminent domain when the publ ic 1 s interest dictates it . Therefore I see not hing of the government overstepping its bounds if it chooses to pass the public accommodations law. My best wishes to you.

Recognizing this fact the government already regulates businesses _and their clientele. For examples: A liquor store owner cannot sell to minors; zoning laws will not allow unrestricted business properties, nor will it permit hodge-podge expansion. Along the same line the government even seizes properties by expropriation through the power of eminent domain when the public's interest dictates it. Therefore I see nothing of the government over- stepping its bounds if it chooses to pass the public accommodations law. My best wishes to you. My fellow worker, Miss Frances Furlow said she wants to add an "amen" to what you said in. Washington!
