Hon. Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor
CITY OF ATLANTA
Atlanta, Georgia.
Dear Mayor Allen:
After what you and Atlanta had just been through at the
hands of Stokely Carmichael and what a Northern mayor,
Robert Sabonjian of Waukegan, Illinois, so aptly described
as his "scum", "animals", "hoodlums", et cetera it was
shocking to listen to you as you joined Katzenbach, Johnson,
Humphrey, Romney and the Kennedys in your post-riot
statement before the TV cameras excusing if not justi-
fying the actions of the mob because of the frustra-
tions of the mob's members - - they having only recently
moved into the city, - and their being unable to cope
with its "complexities".
Your failing to order the City police to make liberal
use of black powder in overcoming the exhibition of
black power WLLL serve only to whet the appetites of
Carmichael and other leaders of the mob for bigger
and better "demonstrations" by the lawless elements
among the negroes and unless I miss my guess - - the
next time the mob will blast your city with Molotov
cocktails, arson, looting and anything else they can
contrive. You should know better than non-residents
of Atlanta - - that the element you are dealing with
is the same type if not the same people who "“picketted"
your local U.S. Army Induction Stations some 10 days to
2 weeks ago.
I doubt - and very much - Mr. Mayor, if the "Harlem vote"
is worth your effort at appeasement as exemplified by
your post-riot statement as presented via the TV cameras
this morning.
Very sincerely yours,
Lace, I, Bode.

My dear Senator:
The situation here in Atlanta is steadily getting worse
according to all news reports. I am so afraid of what is happen-
ing to our City’. ‘One’ person killed and three people hurt Satur-
day night, and the tension is mounting. :-It seems such a waste,
the hate that is spread around the world. If we could only live
and love and forget our differences - wouldn't it be a great
place to live.
I feel that something had better be done soon to ease the
poverty situation for both the black man and the white man.
Couldn't we start by relabeling some of our "Foreign aid" to read
"American aid", and organize a system where men could earn this
aid by way of keeping their self respect in some organized work
system? I don't believe people want to be given help. They want
the right to earn it; but heaven only knows they need it. Why
can't our government realize this and alleviate the situation?
We, the laymen, are helpless in this respect, and I'm afraid it
is up to you and others like you to help save America's frecdom.
I am not trying to be dramatic. Our freedom is at stake because
we are afraid to walk the streets due to the unrest and anarchism
rising in our beloved cities and states. Is this what is to become
of our Nation that our forefathers founded and gave their lives so
willingly for? Are we so intent on making good impressions on other
nations that we forsake our own people? I ask you, is it worth the
sacrifice? Sure other nations need our help, but if we can't do
both I think the situation here is much more dangerous and should
get help first. Violence nor force can help this situation. Only
a full understanding of the problem by the government can help.
In closing I would like to remind you of something I hope none
of us will ever forget. "Four score and seven years ago our fathers
brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty,
and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

August, 1966
COLD BLOOD-AND THE " BLE EDING HEART" COURT
At dawn on July 15, a Chicago woman t hought she heard strange noises. She went outside to
investigate, and saw a young woman standing on a window ledge, screaming hysterically. The
girl sobbed that she was the only one left alive - that all eight of her friends were dead. A policeman quickly summoned to the site gr imly verified the girl's statements. Lying dead in their
apartment we r e eight young women , seven of them student nurses , one a visiting friend.
The girls had been horribly, brutally murdered . The lone survivor, Miss Corazon Amurao,
had esc aped the fate of her friend s by slipping under a bed and hiding. But she had seen the
murde r e r face to face, and said she could identify him.
Finger prints abounded in the apartm e nt; police took them and proceeded with a check on their
identity. Both the fingerprints and the testimony of the witness identified the killer: young
Richa rd Speck, who has a long police recor d in sever al cities. Relief flooded Chicago citizens
when the killer was nam ed and found. But nothing could erase the horror of it all-the " crime of
the century ," as the newspapers put it. Only a few days before the m a ss murders, the police
s uperintendent of Chicago, beset with race r iot s, s t ated that the time had apparently come when
law- abi ding citizens would have to live in walled communities His remark was a prophecy.
O
Talk about the crime c ove r ed many areas: the youth and innocence of the victims , their bereaved and s hock - s tricken families; the dangers of living anywhe re , even if you've locked the
doors and windows. But permeating all of this di scus s ion was a speculative question: what
would the rec ent Supr eme Court rulings do to affect the handling of the murder case?
The speculation swiftly became a reality . Richard Speck wa s informed that he didn't have to
answer any questionS'; that anything he did say-might incriminate him; and that he posse ss ed all
of the legal rights in the booko Gre at care is being taken of him at this writing ; no one must be
allowed to step upon his tende r toes . Underneath it all lies the fear that a Court someday c ould
reverse his c onviction-if he i s convicted-because of "improper police ques tioning. "
It is all well and good to talk about the "rights" of any individual. But why, today , are the
rights of the criminal more sacred, than the rights of millions of innocent people who ask nothing
more than to live without threat of murder, robbery or rape? Why is it so popular t o s ympathi ze
with a lawbreake r because he had an unhappy childhood; or to say that it is the fault of "society"
that some individuals are prone to kill other people?
The police have been stymied by recent court rulings to the point that they fear to arrest suspects . If the police are no longer to protect citizens from criminals, who is to protect them?
Women are advised to carry tear gas guns and hat pins, and to enroll in a self-defense course.
Why should it be necessary for them to do that-are the streets and the cities being run by gangsters? Sometimes it seems so .
The Nation will watch with interest what questions are allowed to be asked of Richard Speck,
and, when the trial takes place, whether he will be excused as being temporarily insane. The
criminals will be watching for the verdict too; for them, it will mean either a red or a green
light.
�"I'm writing this, Mr. Citizen, to tell you why we policemen are acting so differently from the
way we used to act.
nI'm a comparative newcomer to the police field, but in my ten years on the force I've seen
such critical changes I imagine it's pretty hard for you to keep up with them ...
"To explain, let's go back to that time in 1956 when you awoke at three in the morning and
found a prowler in your back yard.
"You called the police station, and a policeman at the station radioed me in my prowl car. You
remember what I did then, don't you? Exactly what you expected me to do. I arrived at your
home, apprehended the man in your back yard, questioned him as to why he happened to be there,
and arrested him when his story sounded implausible.
"I probably also searched him and his car or truck for any of your property he might have
taken.
"But what if you called the police station early tomorrow morning with the same problem?
Well, Mr. Citizen, you probably would be a little disgusted with my caution in entering your back
yard to confront the suspect.
"You see, I can no longer apprehend him. I can detain him for questioning , but I do not know
how long I can detain him before I can be sued for false arrest. As a matter of fact, no one
knows how long I can detain him. As one judge put it, the law is 'imperfectly articulated.'
1 tBut suppose I take this course, believing I have sufficient time to question him.
Well, then, I
must first tell him he has the right not to answer any questions, the right to have an attorney
with him, and the knowledge that anything he says might be used in court against him .
"Nor may I search him to see if he has any of your property, even if he says it's okay for me
to search him.
"He may, however, waive his right to remain silent and to have an attorney with him, but I
may not accept that waiver unless the waiver is made 'voluntarily , knowingly and intelligently. '
"So you see, Mr. Citizen, I must try to determine the knowledge and intelligence of the man
without asking him any questions. Questioning him is contingent upon determining his knowledge
and i ntelligence ...
"(The suspect) may also sue me for false arrest, sue me federally for damages or have m e
punis hed administratively by my department.
"My only other alternative to arresting such a suspect, however, is walking away t o let you
s eek your own complaint agains t the person or to let you make a citizen's ar rest. "
- Lt. J ohn Car penter, Hermos a Beach , California
Police Department , reprinted from the South
Bay Daily Br eeze
"There can be no 'Great Society' unless it is als o a s afe society. And a safe society cannot be
built nor sustained in a climate of crime, corrupti on and moral decay .. . history records that
many civilizations have been destroyed from within. Let us heed that warning, lest we succumb
to the tyranny of a criminal anarchy. "

The speculation swiftly became a reality. Richard Speck was informed that he didn't have to

"I'm writing this, Mr. Citizen, to tell you why we policemen are acting so differently from the
way we used to act.
"I'm a comparative newcomer to the police field, but in my ten years on the force I've seen
such critical changes I imagine it's pretty hard for you to keep up with them...
"To explain, let's go back to that time in 1956 when you awoke at three in the morning and
found a prowler in your back yard.
"You called the police station, and a policeman at the station radioed me in my prowl car. You
remember what I did then, don't you? Exactly what you expected metodo. I arrived at your
home, apprehended the man in your back yard, questioned him as to why he happened to be there,
and arrested him when his story sounded implausible.
"I probably also searched him and his car or truck for any of your property he might have
taken.
"But what if you called the police station early tomorrow morning with the same problem?
Well, Mr. Citizen, you probably would be a little disgusted with my caution in entering your back
yard to confront the suspect.
"You see, I can no longer apprehend him. I can detain him for questioning, but I do not know
how long I can detain him before I can be sued for false arrest. As a matter of fact, no one
knows how long I can detain him. As one judge put it, the law is 'imperfectly articulated. '
''But suppose I take this course, believing I have sufficient time to question him. Well, then, I
must first tell him he has the right not to answer any questions, the right to have an attorney
with him, and the knowledge that anything he says might be used in court against him.
"Nor may I search him to see if he has any of your property, even if he says it's okay for me
to search him.
''He may, however, waive his right to remain silent and to have an attorney with him, but I
may not accept that waiver unless the waiver is made 'voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently. '
"So you see, Mr. Citizen, I must try to determine the knowledge and intelligence of the man
without asking him any questions. Questioning him is contingent upon determining his knowledge
and intelligence...
"(The suspect) may also sue me for false arrest, sue me federally for damages or have me
punished administratively by my department.
"My only other alternative to arresting such a suspect, however, is walking away to let you
seek your own complaint against the person or to let you make a citizen's arrest."
—Lt. John Carpenter, Hermosa Beach, California
Police Department, reprinted from the South
Bay Daily Breeze
"There can be no 'Great Society' unless it is also a safe society. Anda safe society cannot be
built nor sustained in a climate of crime, corruption and moral decay...history records that
many civilizations have been destroyed from within. Let us heed that warning, lest we succumb
to the tyranny of a criminal anarchy."
—Senator John McClellan (D-Arkansas)

Dear Sir : May I respectfully say that I deeply admire your stand on
attempting to puni sh someone who incites to riot. Long has
this c rime been condoned by our government and it is high
time someone took the initiative in this regard.
I am white. I want for the colored folks most of what they
want for themselves. But demonstrations are not the way
to get them. It is pathetic that only a few of us can understand that.
I consider certain colored leaders enemies (in effect) of
the cmlored race. Soon the time will come when neither i
white nor colored can cross fringe areas without the riskf
of a beating or a coke bottle thru the windshield. So then
whose fault will that be, but the demonstraters?
Again I say, more power to you. I hope you can make a conviction stick.
Very Sincerely

Honorable Ivan Allen
Mayor of the City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Sir:
Keep the faith Mr. Mayor and let your great city lead the way in exposing
those misguided individuals who operate under the guise of freedom...
freedom to commit acts of civil disobedience that would ultimately destroy
our way of life.
We know that millions of innecent people have fallen prey to this infamous
conspiracy. Civil disobedience has been tolerated and even encouraged by
meny of our leaders on the "political" scene in both major parties.
I have already heard many favorable comments about your strong stand for
AMERICANISM this week. You have done yourself proud. You have set an
example that all Americans might well follow. I believe, as I am certain
you must, that if we spent more time promoting our wey of life we would need
to spend less time defending it. The time has come for us to put down those
who would destroy our precious heritage.
I believe that you are LEADING THE WAY there in Atlanta, and I also believe
I speak for millions of red—bloodied Americans when I urge you to FORGE
AHEAD, Please accept my best wishes and Godspeed to you from "just an average
citizen" in Fayetteville, N. C.
Resvectfully yours,

l3e fore we l ook at a new i dea , t he words of Thomas Edison i n r egard t o new

"Convent i on requires that we all look at things in the same
single way . 'Thus f ar s halt thou go, and no fart her' is
the s taid remonstrance of convention. Our ve r y f amiliari t y

t h i nk about it conventi onally. We may become so accustomed
to doing thi ngs i n a certain way t hat i t does not occur to
us t hat i t c an be done in anot her and perhaps better way . "
For 3000 years roads ha ve not on l y been c onst ructed practically the same way,
but have rendered on ly ONE service :
to a l low veh i cles to trave l from point A to
point P - a nd tha t is all !
For 3000 years r oaas have been fi nanced in two ways:
(1) by t he taxpayers;
and (2) by oriva te individuals who were per mitted to charge a " t oll" to t he road
users .
The 3000-year-old systems of building and financin~ roads are responsible
for our ci ties ' growing l CLTER S1<ILTER and bringing almost incredib le conges tion
which p: reatly affects the econo1:1y of the nation.
The WALL STREtT JOURNA L of Jan uary 24 , 196 3 , rn an article perta ining to
roads , states :

"One distribution c onsu ltan t estimated that up to 80 cents
of the consumer dollar goes to cover dis tribution costs on

"For all U.S. corporations Charles Beard, dire ctor of dis tribution cost for Union Carbide Corporation, figures dis tribution cos t swallows more than $100 BIL LION A YEAR,
OR AIJO UT 20% OF THE TOTAL NATIONAL OUTPUT OF GOODS AND
SERVICES " (in 1963 ).
( With today 's increase i n the Gros s na tional Prod uct, how much hi ghe r is t he
cost t oday th an in 1963?)
Roads no t only affect th e consumer' s dollar but also the Government ' s
dollar - whether it is Federal, State, or Munici pal .
The LOS ANG ELES TI MES of J a nuary 20, 1966 carr ies the headline:
"TAXES TOP ISSUE IN GUBERNATORIAL RACE
"According to th e State Poll, as of today the
State Structure in the St ate of Cali fo rnia
appears to be th e ma jor issue in the 1966
Gubernatorial campai gn."
Such conditions prevai l not only in all 50 sta t es b ut in every U. S . city,
large or small.
In recent years the property taxes in t he small city of Santa Monica, like
many other cities, were substantially increased.
The City of Santa Monica could,
ny adopting the de Va ll system of con struct ing roads , reduce taxes and, at the s ame
time, have a more "li vable city."
Santa Monica can acquire, at no cost to herself, the followin g :
(1) the land comprising the two-mile-long sec tion of Highway 101 which runs
pa r al lel to the ocean, thus returning it to the tax roll and bringing considerab le
new revenue to the city.
( 2) better housing for low-in come fa milies , t he a ged, and public servant.of Santa Monica.

At the same time, Santa Moni ca can avoid :

considered for the e xt e nsion of the Santa Honica Freeway ) .
( 2 ) placing the Santa Mon i ca Freeway i n the middle of t he city, whi ch
would greatly r educe the tax income to t he city .

today is non- existent .

systems to today 's technology and ways of doing busines s .
Private road finan cing is not new ; some of the best roads in America in the
19th Ce ntury were built by private capital.
Private capital built the roads
because they brought a profit through " t oll charges " to the road users, who consisted only of auto and truck drivers.

Specifica lly, t he profits were produced

The builders, at completion of the deVa ll road, would receive the total
revenue wh ich the road would bring and would pay taxes to the City, State, and
Federal Governments.
The City of Santa Moni ca can not only incre as e considerably its reven ue but
also can acquire many acres of valuab le l and within t he city limits IF it will
consi der incorporating some of its agencies and services (such as the pol ice,
f ire , and first-aid stations) as an integ ral part of the deVa ll r oad .
The city could then mak e an agreeme nt wi t h the b uilders of the road to

The city could then easily dispose o f some of t he land and structures in the

The r oad that deVall proposes to be built in Santa Monica

ROAD CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT IMPROVED
IN 3000 YEARS
by Guy b. deVall
Hermann Schreiber, in his book "Merchants, Pilgrims and Highwaymen: A
History of Roads through the Ages," on page 115 wrote: "...for between the
roads of ancient Crete (3000 B.C.) and the modern U. S. Highway No. 40 NO MORE
THAN UALF A DOZEN TECHNICAL DISCOVERIES HiAVE BEEN MADE THAT ARE OF ANY SIG-
NIFICANCE."
before we look at a new idea, the words of Thomas Edison in regard to new
ideas should be recollected:
"Convention requires that we all look at things in the same
single way. ‘Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther' is
the staid remonstrance of convention. Our very familiarity
with a specialized field of experience conditions us to
think about it conventionally. We may become so accustomed
to doing things in a certain way that it does not occur to
us that it can be done in another and perhaps better way."
For 3000 years roads have not only been constructed practically the same way,
but have rendered only ONE service: to allow vehicles to travel from point A to
peint F - and that is all!
For 3000 years roads have been financed in two ways: (1) by the taxpayers;
and (2) by private individuals who were permitted to charge a "toll'' to the road
users.
The 3000-year-old systems of building and financine roads are responsible
for our cities' growing HELTER SKLLTER and bringing almost incredible congestion
which greatly affects the economy of the nation.
The WALL STREET JOURNAL of January 24, 1963, in an article pertaining to
roads, states:
[SS <r eae ae = = - a 3 = ea
"One distribution consultant estimated that up to 80 cents
of the consumer dollar goes to cover distribution costs on
such products as sulphur, certain drugs and some cosmetics.
"Por all U. S. corporations Charles Beard, director of dis-
tribution cost for Union Carbide Corporation, figures dis-
tribution cost swallows more than $100 BILLION A YEAR,
OR ABOUT 20% OF THE TOTAL NATIONAL OUTPUT OF GOODS AND
SERVICES" (in 1963).
(With today's increase in the Gross National Product, how much higher is the
cost today than in 19637)
Roads not only affect the consumer's dollar but also the Government's
dollar - whether it is Federal, State, or Municipal.
The LOS ANGELES TIMES of January 20, 1966 carries the headline:
"TAXES TOP ISSUE IN GUBERNATORIAL RACE
"According to the State Poll, as of today the
State Structure in the State of California
appears to be the major issue in the 1966
Gubernatorial campaign."
Such conditions prevail not only in all 50 states but in every U. S. city,
large or small.
In recent years the property taxes in the small city of Santa Monica, like
many other cities, were substantially increased. The City of Santa Monica could,
py adopting the deVall system of constructing roads, reduce taxes and, at the same
time, have a more "livable city."
Santa Monica can acauire, at no cost to herself, the following:
(1) the land comprising the two-mile-long section of Highway 101 which runs
parallel to the ocean, thus returning it to the tax roll and bringing considerable
new revenue to the city.
(2) better housing for low-income families, the aged, and public servants
of Santa Monica.

(3) elimination of the dangerous bottleneck which the new Santa Monica
Freeway has created in Santa Monica.
At the same time, Santa Monica can avoid:
(1) the high cost of building a causeway (one of the ideas that has been
considered for the extension of the Santa Monica Freeway).
(2) placing the Santa Monica Freeway in the middle of the city, which
would greatly reduce the tax income to the city.
Moreover, the deVall road would permit a steady flow of traffic, which
today is non-existent.
The deVall road does not consist of pulling rabbits out of a magician's hat;
deVall only proposes to adopt already-used systems and to adopt the very same
systems to today's technology and ways of doing business,
Private road financing is not new; some of the best roads in America in the
19th Century were built by private capital. Private capital built the roads 4
because they brought a profit through "toll charges" to the road users, who con-
sisted only of auto and truck drivers. Specifically, the profits were produced
only through ONE service: to permit a vehicle to travel from point A to point B.
The deVall road, instead of ONE service, would render many services, the com-
bined services bringing considerable revenues. Private capital would be anxious
to invest in a new project where their investments would bring a good rate of return.
Once the necessary consent is obtained from Santa Monica, the State of
California can put up at bidding the construction of the deVall road on that section
of Highway 101 located in Santa Monica.
Construction companies such as Kaiser, U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, and others
‘would bid. The winner would build on the lend which has been granted by the State
and the City.

The builders, at completion of the deVall road, would receive the total
revenue which the road would bring and would pay taxes to the City, State, and
Federal Governments.
The City of Santa Monica can not only increase considerably its revenue but
also can acquire many acres of valuable land within the city limits IF it will
consider incorporating some of its agencies and services (such as the police,
fire, and first-aid stations) as an integral part of the deVall road.
The city could then make an agreement with the builders of the road to
secure the needed space free of charge.
The city could then easily dispose of some of the land and structures in the
city where said services are today located.
The road that deVall proposes to be built in Santa Monica is, comparatively,
a very simple road.
The three-dimensional model of the Freeway that deVall has built represents
a much more complex system; however, it becomes very simple once it is viewed.
The structure is provided with models of electric trains, buses, autos, and
trucks, each of which travels on separate routes. Accesses and exits for the
vehicles clearly show that all the "buts" and "ifs" have been eliminated by the
simple procedure of having previously made more than 100 experimental models, and
each one never measured less than 20" x 30',
In viewing the model, the viewer cannot help recellectimthe histcry of
roads in America. When the Pilgrims landed, they found the footpaths of the
Indians. The Pilgrims first created the unpaved roads. A generation later the
macadam road evolved, then cement roads.
Is it not logical that in the 20th Century Americans should build freeways
in steel (and cement)?
The deVall model shows much more than mere roads; it shows that, in order
for roads to render their intended services, whole new cities must come into
being. The structures and buildings which were built beside the roads of early
America have gone. Only the roads remained. Today the cement pavement is a
"tombstone" of the valuable land which it covers. The deVall system merely builds
on the "tombstone" and, in so doing, will benefit not only the pocketbooks of all,
but the nervous systems and general state of health of all citizens.
If today 196 millions of Americans were to land on virgin soil, as America
was in the days of the Indians, with their modern tools and machines and with
steel and cement, WOULD THEY HAVE BUILT THEIR ROADS AND BUILDINGS AS WE SEE THEM
TODAY?

P.S. LIFE's January 12, 1962 issue featured an article regarding mass fall-
out shelters. The idea of "shelters," although practically ignored today, has
net been forgotten in the Pentagon and in the White House.
The deVall read would provide not only fall-out shelters (at no cost
to the taxpayers) but also an “escape route" for city inhabitants to the sea,
where boats or trains could take them to safety. With China a member of the
A-bomb club, can we afford not to give consideration to the "shelters"?
