JAGK J , RUSHIN 377 TECHWOOD DRlY.E; N. W. ATLANTA 13, GEORGI.A; June 18; 1963 President John F; Kennedy White Hou 9e Washington., D. c. Dear Mr. President: The May 27th issue of U• .S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT published several articles on the Negro question .. This fine publication has consistently told the truth about this terrible problem. In a previous issue it uncovered the terrible conditions in Washington-; D. C. brought on by integration - a condition for which our nation should "hide its face in shame." The Negro mess was started more or less by Franklin Roosevelt and his wife.. It is unfortunate that such so-called learned people would be so short-sighted, particularly considering that they both came from Eastern United States and he was educated right where slavery was promoted and flourished.. Thi-s also applies to the Kennedy family. History shows that one shipment of slaves was brought to Virginia when it was a colbny. After that Boston was the chi'e f port of entry with New York running a close second. Slave traders sold slaves to planter 's in the South. The North was not a good market due to climate; although a lot of slaves were sold in the North. The South was sparsely populated - the plantations were very large - so the availability of negro laborer s who were accustomed to a hot climate was most encouraging. It is unfortunate that our white forebears did not· realize just how much d.ama~ the Negro would do to the South and to the entire country. Some enterprising people brought mongoose into Hawaii a few years ago; supposedly to kill rats, but now the mongoose is a bigger nuisance than the rats were.- Surely bringing Negroes into this country is a parallel ca-se. Their definit-e plan is to take over everything with the thought of creating a new and inferior race of people within the foreseeable future. .A Negro will probably be pre sident of the United States in your lifetime, particularly with the support given them by you, your brother Bob, and others. It is too bad that we don't have men like Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, really dedicated .Americansl with brains; "guts " and common sense.• �- 2 - The- situati'on in Wa's hingtonj Do Co is a disgrace~ If you.;, your brother, .C ongress and t he infamous Supreme Court cont inue as ih t he past, the entir e countr y will be unfit for decent habitation, Our schools have already deterior at ed t o such a ,degree that a great many children are not g~t t i ng corr ect training~ A great many schools in the North are "breeding spot s" for rapists and communistso At a recent national meeting of the Do.A~R. in Washington the D. C. Police Chief got out a bulleti n to each l ady attending, advi-sibg that not one of them should go out after dark - should not go out even ih daytime except in large groups - and should not get i n a taxi-'cab operated by a Negro. Miserable politicians~ starting with "The Great · White Father", F.D.R. 1 are responsible for this condition and why can ' t you be wise ·ena>ugh to do something about it? Sot why not strive to do something c·onstructive for your country inst ead of tearing it down? Your family politi'Cal a·s pirations may make you rather infamous. When I was about eleven years old (1909) I over heard my father t alking to a frien~ .His name was Maj or Frederick Palmer .,- a West Pointer , who spent a lot of t i me in the orient and was in the Sparli-sh-American war. He evidently knew a lot about colbred people; that is,. Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos and Negroeso Major Palmer made t his statement t o. my father : 11 One of these days the color ed r ace wil l subjugate the whi te race.• " Fifty-four years have passed since I heard t hat r emark,, The Japanese tried it at Pearl Harbor, and if they had followed t hrough cor rect ly,, we would have be·e n in t r oubl e . The next time t hey, with t he Chi nese, may not fail for they will have our Negroes t o support t hem. Donrt think f or one minute t hat t he Neeroes won ' t support the yellow and br own peopleo They wil l and i t could happen in your lif etime. Mer edith, t he Negro suppor ted financially by t he N. AoA. CoP. (pr obably the great est money- maki ng r acket of t he century ) was plant ed i nt o t he University of Missi ssi ppi wi t h the suppor t of t he Federal Government and the Supreme Court at t er r i fic expense o Mer edith was a disgrace t o hi s r ace on Meet t he Pr ess on May 26tho Wha , ha s been gained? Nothi ng.; f or whi'te peopl e al l over the nation now have l ess compassion for Negroeso Negr oes are pr oceeding with your sanction on a hate ba sis. They mean t o be on the same level wit h white people at any cost and will ruin our count ry~ Negro childr en are al lowed t o stay out of school t o parade and disrupt normal pr ocedures and t hen allowed to r eturn to sch0ol without punishment o I f white children di d anything of that sor t t hey would be B Xpell ed. Negroes are getting by with t oo much and will gradually destroy our schools and everythi ng el se. Whi te chil dren are taking a belliger ent atti t ude, feeling t hat our miser able leader s are favor i ng Negroes t o the det r i ment of t he Whitesa I t has been def i ni t el y pr oved biol ogi cal ly that Negroes cannot mat ch whites and are inf er ior on an average ment ally, morally and physically.. If you placed white chil dren with iri.l d animal s or r at tlesnakes t hey wouldn 't do too well. The same appli es to Negroes.

Chun _ ATLANTA 13, GEORGIA HE. puwt June 18,1963 ~~ Hy tho President John F, Kennedy White House Washington, D. C, Dear Mr. President: The May 27th issue of U. S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT published several articles on the Negro question, This fine publication has consistently ; told the truth about this terrible problem. In a previous issue it uncovered the terrible conditions in Washington, D. C. brought on by integration — a condition for which our nation should "hide its face in shame," The Negro mess was started more or less by Franklin Roosevelt and his wife, It is unfortunate that such so-called learned people would be so short-sighted, particularly considering that they both came from Eastern United States and he was educated right where slavery was promoted and flourished, This also applies to the Kennedy family. History shows that one shipment of slaves was brought to Virginia when it was a colony, After that Boston was the chief port of entry with New York running a close second, Slave traders sold slaves to planters in the South, The North was not a good market due to climate, although a lot of slaves were sold in the North. The South was sparsely populated — the plantations were very large — so the availability of negro laborers who were accustomed to a hot climate was most encouraging, It is unfortunate that our whiteforebears did not realize just how much damage the Negro would do to the South and to the entire country. Some enterprising people brought mongoose into Hawaii a few years ago, supposedly to kill rats, but now the mongoose is a bigger nuisance than the rats were. Surely bringing Negroes into this country is a parallel case. Their definite plan is to take over everything with the thought of creating a new and inferior race of people within the foreseeable future. A Negro will probably be president of the United States in your lifetime, particularly with the support given them by you, your brother Bob, and others. It is too bad that we don’t have men like Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, really dedicated Americans, with brains, "guts" and common sense, 0) The- situation in Washington, D. C. is a disgrace, If yous your brother, Congress and the infamous Supreme Court continue as in the past, the entire country will be unfit for decent habitation, Our schools have already deteriorated to such a.degree that a great many children are not getting correct training; A great many schools in the North are "breeding spots" for rapists and communists. Ata recent national meeting of the D.A.R. in Washington the D. C. Police Chief got out a bulletin to each lady attending, advising that not one of them should go out after dark — should not go out even in daytime except in large groups —- and should not get in a taxi-cab operated by a Negros Miserable politicians, starting with "The Great White Father", F.D.R., are responsible for this condition and why can’t you be wise enough to do something about it? Soy why not strive to do something constructive for your country instead of tearing it down? Your family political aspirations may make you rather infamous, When I was about eleven years old (1909) I overheard my father talking to a friend, His name was Major Frederick Palmer, a West Pointer, who spent a lot of time in the orient and was in the Spanish-American war, He evidently knew a lot about colored people; that is, Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos and Negroes. Major Palmer made this statement to my father: "One of these days the colored race will subjugate the white race," Fifty-four years have passed since I heard that remark. The Japanese tried it at Pearl Harbor, and if they had followed through correctly, we would have been in trouble, The next time they, with the Chinese, may not fail for they will have our Negroes to support them, Dontt think for one minute that the Negroes won't support the yellow and brown people, They will and it could happen in your lifetime. Meredith, the Negro supported financially by the N.A.A.C.P. (probably the greatest money-making racket of the century) was planted into the University of Mississippi with the support of the Federal Government and the Supreme Court at terrific expense, Meredith was a disgrace to his race on Meet the Press on May 26th. What has been gained? Nothing, for white people all over the nation now have less compassion for Negroes, Negroes are proceeding with your sanction on a hate basis. They mean to be on the same level with white people at any cost and will ruin our country. Negro children are allowed to stay out of school to parade and disrupt normal procedures and then allowed to return to school without punish- ment. If white children did anything of that sort they would be ex- pelled. Negroes are getting by with too much and will gradually destroy our schools and everything else. White children are taking a belligerent attitude, feeling that our miserable leaders are favoring Negroes to the detriment of the Whites, It has been definitely proved biologically that Negroes cannot match whites and are inferior on an average mentally, morally and physically. If you placed white children with wild animals or rattlesnakes they wouldn't do too well, The same applies to Negroes, They are just about as aboriginal as those still in Africa, except in rare cases,  wm White people should rise up and demand reverse action on the part of the Supreme Court or demand complete impeachment, including you and your brother. It is ironical that Black, of the Supreme Court, was a Ku-Klux Klan member until his appointment by the "mighty" — Roosevelt. Now, he is on the Negro's side, He won't be alive much longer and doesn't care what becomes of our country. Warren and the rest of the Supreme Court are weaklings too. Soy our country is really in a mess! It is a disgrace that hardly anyone, except Negroes, have any respect for our Supreme Court or our Government. How can they when you consider the Negro problem and the Cuban Situation? One hundred thousand Cubans were allowed to come into Florida and with about a million Puerto Ricans already here, mix with the Negroes and cause a situation in the United States that makes every white person — Northy South, East and West —- sick at the stomach. Is it possible that the Catholic Church was responsible for the Cuban situation to further the Catholic cause and in time get more power in the United States? Think all of this over and see if you can't do at least one constructive thing for our country. The South is absolutely not responsible for the Negro mess, The politicians and certain unscrupulous newsmongers are the cause of it all. The South is burdened with about 30 per cent Negro popula- tion, Certain Northern areas are getting a taste of it, but blaming everything on the South, It is easy for politicians and certain Northern people to tell the South how to "reform", but subject those same people to contacts with Negroes and they "wilt like a wet dish Tage 7 ' By the way, if certain of your demands are met in the South, would you guarantee that all Kennedy children are immediately placed in integrated schools in Washington, D.

August 6,1963 Dear Louise What in God's name has come over Ivan? He has betrayed us in every way known to man, and if we try to talk to him we get no satisfaction at all- in fa ct I'm about to reach the point of being afraid t o talk to him. He and I have grown up together and been friends-good friends since 1941. Your family and mine have been to games together and drank coffee out of the same thermous cups- we've been solid citizens together- supporting the same activities, both civic and school for too long a time to part now. Did my family ever more than campaign for Ivan? You know it! Actively. We contended he was the man Georgia had been waiting forThis is not a crank letter Louise. I write this appeal to you because maybe you can get to Ivan. We've ta lked about Ivan 111 someday being governor of Georgia, but ugh! Now the problem is getting the Alle ns to show their true colors and forget politics for principle. This is the third time I've written, but twice before I could not mail an unsigned letter, and Ivan can hurt me badly if he chooses. so I would'nt sign and therefore would'nt mail 'em.
