Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr., Mayor
City of Atlanta
Atlanta City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mayor Allens
I congratulate you on your splendid efforts to maintain racial
harmony in the City of Atlanta. Your recent confrontation with
rioting Negro mobs was most admirable. However, I am afraid
that you do not understand Negro psychology.
On numerous occasions you have made reference to the grave in-
justices the Negro has suffered over the past 200 years - and
this I cannot agree with entirely. The greatest favor ever done
for the Negro was to capture him, take him out of the jungle
end expose him to civilization - and incidentally, keep him from
eating all of his relatives. These supposed injustices confer on
him no right to murder, rape, mug and commit arson. If this were
not true I would personally carry out a vendeta against society
because General Sherman's men murdered my great-grandfather, his
oldets son (16), burned his home, killed his live-stock and left
a widow with three little-.children, This indeed was an injustice
but it does not give the right to go to Chicago and throw bottles
at the police force, kill local residents or set fire to the
Conrad Hilton Hotel.
While on active duty, during World War II, we had a constant
problem with Quartermaster Negro troops rioting after consuming
a few bottles of beer. I was assigned the task of breaking up
these Saturday night melees and I accomplished the mission in
just two weeks. It was not done by talking nicely to these men,
it was done however with a language that they understand. I urge
you to use a firmer hand in dealing with these situations or face
the alternative of losing complete control of the situation.
I am gravely concerned with the state of anarchy that prevails
throughout the nation. Unless our political leaders exercise firm
controls, without regards for the value of the Negro bloc vote at
the polls, the United States is going to develop into an armed
Camp and we will all lose as the result of what will take place,
Put down revolt among the Negroes as you would if white people
were involved and you will overcome some of the deep-rooted and
seething resentment that now exists.

Dear Mayor Allen,
My wife and I were in your campaign: headquarters on the night of
your first election as mayor of Atlanta. We gave you our support.
You have more than lived up to the expectations that we had in you
as a@ person and your administration. As you can see by the address,
We are now serving in Albany, Georgia. Our hearts remain in Atlanta
and we hope some day to return to serve again.
Your recent heartache and frustration over the sudden outburst of
violence is also ours. Your courage to enter the areas of trouble
and attempt to minister to the people is most compassionate. We deeply
appreciate your stand for law and order and at the same time justice
for white and black. Please keep your faith and remember the poem
by Kipling "If you can trust yourself when all men about you doubt
you" ( misquoted), "You will be a man my son.". Mayor Allen you are
indeed a man,
I wish that I had an easy answer. I wish that you did. You said
that we needed to build better cities. I agree but even more basic
we need to build better people. All of this is an inditement of the
Church and our failure to become what God intended us to become.
Parents, teachers, everyone of us is involved or should be and should
have been.
My prayers are with you, your family, your administration, and with
the friends as well as enemies of your basic principles of government.
They are sound and only imperfect as each of us as human beings are
smperseen Ay have my respect and support.

Dear Mr. Mayor:
You have earned the gratitude and admiration of people throughout this region and indeed throughout the nation for your handling
of the tense situation on the streets of Atlanta last Tuesday evening.
You have helped to establish an image of Atlanta as a city, not
of prejudice, but of progress. You have worked conscientiously and
effectively for social justice, economic opportunity and fair treatment for all citizens.
When, despite your best efforts, tensions reached a breaking
point, you moved with resolute courage, tempered by reason and
restraint, to protect your city against some of its citizens and, in
fact, to protect these people against some of their own temporary
excesses.
We realize that your magnificent performance on this occasion does
not insure against a recurrence of violence in Atlanta. I am sure , too,
that you can take little pleasure in commendations for your handling of
a situation which you undoubtedly hoped would never occur. Still , we
should be permitted to express our pride i n a cap t ain who ke eps h i s ship
on cour se when the sea is rough as well as when the sailing is smooth .
Best wishes for a successful voyage and safe landing from an old
submariner .

The Honorable Ivan Allen, Mayor
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Yvan:
lhe niots in Atlanta this week were one og the most un-
gortunate developments in the history og our native erty, but J
wank Lo compliment you on your splendid handling of this di¢fi-
cult situation. Your judgment and courage were adminable and
when 9 speak of courage I am not Apeaking og the gact that vou
merely went into the middle og dhe mob, but Y am Apeaking parti-~
cularly og your courage in taking the position that you took
during the riot as well as in uvour handling og! the situation
Later. 9 believe that your aciions will have a tremendous
influence fon good with the civic and state authorities through-
out the nation.
AU thinking men who are not 4o terrigied of a block vote
that thein backbone disappears, know that everthing that we
cherish in this country 44 dependent upon Law and orden,
seems that some of our northern cities Ahould be in the “banana
nepublics”, and 9 am particularly gratified to see that your
yim hand has been strongly approved by the northern press as
well as the Congress. Gt is also gratigving to see that 4o
many, og the night thinking negroes, particularly in Atlanta,
have thought that you handled the situation well,
9 think that your Atlania Congressman made a very good
statement when he said that no matier how we quibble about the
meaning of "bLlach power”, at inevitably heads to violence. for-
tunately, very jew of either nace believe in “black power",
“white power, on any other kind of power that connotes violence.
G nemember that two weeks ago when we were Attting on
your porch at /oxaway you, Laughingly, told how a man in
pubLic Life grabs the newspaper early an the morning 40 see
what they are AaUANG about him, so 9 know you are happy about
what you have read, And Let me add, that when this happened
GY was in Hlonida and the press there was unanimous in your
savor.
Many foins me in best wishes to you and to Louise.
S incenrely,
AEE é itGeler

Dear Mayor Allen:
When you were active in Scouting I had a great admiration for
you. I thought you gave us wonderful leadership and I was real proud
to have the opportunity of working with you. Never was I as proud of
you as I was after noting how you handled the disorder which erupted
in Atlanta on Monday of this week. You have given Atlanta wonderful
leadership and I think your courageous handling of the racial disturbance will do a great deal to prevent others from occarring.
I think there -are very few who -want to see the colored race mistreated. On the other hand, we do not feel that they should be permitted to completely take over and have no regard for law and order.
In this respect, you handled the situation in a very noble manner.
My

Dear Ivan:
It has been my privilege to watch the progress
Atlanta has made in its race relationship dur-
ing your tenure of office. We can point with
pride to our success in Columbus also, but,
Atlanta, being such a large city, would nat-
urally be more in the national scene than
Columbus and it has certainly been noticeable
over the country that Atlanta has had progress
on such an amicable basis.
It is not my personal opinion that the Negro
citizens in Atlanta are to blame for this
outburst. The source of the trouble is far
more basic. It is certainly the fault of the
powers who countenance such demonstrations
and actually encourage them.
We wish you every success in your progressive
program.
With best regards.
Sincerely yours,

WASHINGTON, D. C., SEPTEMBER 11, 1966
Dead End Awaits the Black Power Road
EDITORIAL
The arrest of Stokely Carmichael
and two o,f his SNCC lieutenants on
charges of inciting last week's riot in
Aitlanta may ma;rk a turning point in
what .appears to be a struggle for supremacy between the moderate and the
extremist elements in the civil rights
movement.
The importance of the decision by
Altlanta's Mayor Allen, who has taken a
strong lead in behalf of Negro rights,
lies in one simple fact. Public officials,
assuming thait the requisite proof is in
hand, must be willing to prosecute a
Carmichael or anyone else where a serious offense is involved. If for a political
reason or some other reason they will
not take firm action against a leader,
how can they expect those in .the lower
echelons to respecit and obey the law?
And, of at least equal importance, why
should anyone suppose that the moderate civil rights leaders will speak out
and act against violence if the civil authorities are unwilling to do so?
This is a testing year, a year in
which events may determine whether
good sense oc "black power" in its exitreme manifesta.tions will carry the day.
It will be tragic if, because of weak
knees in cdlty hall, it should be made to
appear that the rock-thrower and the
Molotov cocktail are the wave of the
future.
There is risk of oversimplification in
discussing the moderate as opposed to
the extremist wings. There ts good rearon to believe that a very large majoriity of Negroes do not support and are
even opposed to the extremist tactics.
This does not necessarily mean, however, that all moderates will condemn
the extremists out of hand. Some of
them may even derive a certadn vicarious saJtisfaction from the excesses of a
Carmichael m- an Adam Clayton Powell,
even though they know in their hearts
tha t an appeal to black power, for exa mple, can eventually lead only to a
dead-end street as far as any perma-
gation o,f last month's trouble in the
Anacostia area is a case in poinit.
That affair, involving a clash between Negroes and police, has been
under study by a group of prominent
citizens appointed by Commissioner
Tobriner. Its co-chairman is Sterling
Tucker, a respected Negro leader.
The study group has reached no
conclus ions. In fact, it is just beginning
the job of drafting its report. Yet Adam
Clayton Powell, whose position in Congress entitles one to expect something
better from him, has charged into print
with the accusation that the investigation is a "whitewash" and that the committee has too many "mild-mannered
Negroes." Following this lead, Julius
Hobson, who heads the group known as
ACT, paid his respects to "pasteurized
Negroes" on the committee who, he said,
would sell other Negroes short "for a
few pieces of silver." To the extent that
anyone in Washington takes Powell and
Hobson seriously, this sort of demagogic
prejudgment is as harmful as it is outrageous. And it should not be allowed
to go unchallenged.
Although not aimed specifically at
the Powell-Hobson combination, the
executive board of the District chapter
of the NAACP has just apl)Toved a resolution which is a reflection of responsible thinking by moderate leadership.
The resolution, offered by H. Carl
Moultrie, president of the local branch,
said that the NAACP "must condemn
with equal vigor the gaithering of crowds
to protest the arrest of an individual,
or individuals, as it does any form of
police brutality." If witnesses think the
police are guilty of brutality in making
an arrest, the resolution continued,
there are appropriate avenues, including the NAACP, through which corrective action can be sought. But "violence
on the part of a person, or persons, or
groups of persons, must be unequivocally
condemned." The resolution ended with
an expression of hope that "all other
organizations do the same as we in calling for law and order."
So fair the call from other organizations has been considerably less than
deafening. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King, however, has just denounced
"black power" in any contexit of violence. As the struggle within the civil
rights movement shapes up, and if
public alllthortit!es follow Atlanta's example in cracking down on violence
and incitement to violence, the country
should hear before long from other moderate voices.
For if one thing 1s clear, it is thait
future J)Togress in civil rights depends
upon co-operation within the framework
of law by whites and Negroes whose
dedication to equal treatment and equal
opportunity is genuine raither than opportunis-tic. If anyone doubts this, let
him look ait what is happening to the
1966 civil rights bill in the Senate.
There certainly 1s nothing to be
gained in the future by following those
who think or who pretend to think of
progress in t erms of black power, and
who talk nonsense about burning down
the city to get what they want .
An impm-tant thing for everyone to
remember 1s that gains can be lost. And
one way to reverse the national mood
which has produced so many very substantial civil rights gains is to enlist an
army under the racist banner of hotheads who want the Negro to go it alone.
1
'Trouble I got, man-what I want is progress!'
nent advancement of civil rights is
concerned.
In this connection, it is interesting
to note the results of a recent survey
conducted by a respected polling agency
in Watts, Harlem, Chicago and Baltimore. The questions were asked by
trained Negro pollsters. And the responses revealed that most Negroes,
even in the ghettos, want pretty much
the same things that most white people
want. They want be r housing. Not
the principal
surprisingly, since they
viotims, they are worried a; ut crime,
and they are more interes
adequate police protection than i talk
about police brutality. They want ~ir
children to have a sound, disciplined e~
ucation. In Harlem only 2 percent of
those interviewed said that school integration was their grearoest problem. The
real educational problem, in the majm-1ty opinion, is the pre&ffllg need for better neighborhood schools.
Again, a cautionary note is in order.
It does not necessarlly follow from the
survey findings that most of the people
in the ghettos are against violence in
pursuit of their reasonable objectives.,
In Watts, :for example, 48.4 percent of
those interviewed think the rioting
there helped their chances foil" equality
in jobs, schools and housing. Only 23.8
percent believe the rioting was harmful
to ruttainment of thlis objective.
The obvious inference from this ts
that the demagogue, the rac1st-1n-reverse, will find his best opportunity in
the ghettos and that thl1s 1s why he
makes his major pitoh there. It should
be borne in mind, however, thait the
ghetto is not synonymous With the Negro
commundity in the U'nited States. Many
Negroes do not live in ghettos. The moderaite Negro leader, however, has a responsibilit y to help allev:Jate the conditions in the ghetto. And he also has a
responsibility to stand up and be counted
in oppositMon to those who seek to exploit the distress 1n .the ghettos for purposes of their own-from motives which
are a,t best dubious and which in the
long run can only retard the drive of
the Negro for his equal and rightful
place in the Ame:i:ican society.
