“IF TY HAD YOUR problem,

said Allen.

He asked that southern com-

In resnonse to questions,
he suggested a _ fiwo-year
Srace period for cities. and
More for small communities.

“But the point I want to
emnhasize again.” he said, “is
that now is the time for lecis-
lative action. We cannot dodge
‘the issue.”

“WE MUST take action now
to assure a greater future for
our citizens and our country
... the elimination of secrega-
tion, which is slaverv’s. stev-
child, is a challenge to all of
us to make every American
free in fact as well as in the-
ory.”

This strong statement in he-
half of equal rights from a 52-
year-old native of Georgia
deeply moved liberal members
of the committee.

“I THINK,” SAID Acting
‘Chairman John @, Pastore (D-
RI), “that when President
Kennedy wrote his book ‘Pro-

 

_ files in Courage’ he was think:
ing of you.”

' It also led to a sharp ex-
hanee between Pastore and
Sen. Strom Thurmond (D-S.C.),
all-out opponent of any civil
rights legislation.

WHEN THURMOND asked
Allen if he would favor the
legislation even if it meant
closing every restaurant in
Georgia, Pastore cut him off,
calling it a “loaded” question

of the have-you-stopped-heat-
ing-yvour-wife? type. |

Pastore said he wouldn't per-
mit, questions asked to embar-
rass witnesses and to “catch
tomorrow morning’s head-
lines.”

“T DON’T WANT the mavor
to go home and be known as
the man who wants to close
all the little restaurants in
Georgia,” said Pastore.

Thurmond called Pastore’s
action “improper” and said he
resented the “insinuation” that
he had asked an unfair ques-
tion. He said he was trying
enly to get the truth to the
American people.

“Your truth is not my
truth,” snapped Pastore,

When the audience ap-
plauded, Thurmond ¢alled
them “leftwingers” and said he
was “surprised” that Pastore

Dean Mayor Allen,
How proud I am of your
speech to the Senate Committee of
Commerce last Friday!! Your
openmindedness, courage, and humility -- 
combined with your great love
for Atlanta -- have rapidly moved
you into the realms of Wisdom and
Leadership.
For decades, Atlanta has been
blessed with fine leadership, and
now it appears that we are going on
to even greater heights!
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Virginia Hein</text>

Mayor Ivan Allen
City Hall, , il
Atlanta, Ga.

 

My dear Mr, Mayor;

This is to add a word of appreciation
for your stand of courage in Washington recently
backing the President's Civil Rights Legislation,

While I agree that voluntary desegregation
is preferable, as long as certain state government
leaders continue to inflame public opinion and
embarrass our nation's effective world leadership,
it geems that specific laws must be made and under-
stood, Therefore, I have written our two Georgia
Senators and the Fifth District Representative
saying that I hope they can support the Adminis-
tration, clarified to include court appeal for
fund-withholding from individual states not co-
operating,

Sincerely and Apvreciatively,

Weert, .&lt; A UesTrne

Dear Mayor Allen:
Your testimony before the Senate Commerce

you had established a watershed. We are deeply
grateful to you.
and true nobility of mind.
}ly Senior Senator, Mr. Saltonstall, is fencesitting on the public accomodations section of the
Civil Rights Bill. I have just written to him,
asking him to examine his soul in the light of your
statement. I am convinced that public thinld.ne,
including perhaps the thinking of Mrs. Murphy, is
considerably ahead of Congress in this matter.
Thank you, Mr. Allen. You are a great man.
