Attached are some references which I would appreciate
your sharing with Mayor Alien and Chief Jenkins in support
of our telephone conversation of the other day.

As I pointed out on the phone, Chief Jenkins would quite
likely not remember me, although I have had the privilege

of chatting briefly with him on two occasions--once in the
mid-fifties when the NAACP was meeting in Atlanta and again
on the occasion of the Martin Luther King, Jr., testimonial
at the Dinkler a coupie of years ago. I have had the good
fortune of a more intimate contact with Mayor Alien due to
his and my association in the activities of the 100% Wrong
Club.

Possibly the people in Atlanta who know me best are Mr. £.
D. Sledge, retired Vice President and Director of Advertising,
The Coca-Cola Company, with whom I worked for more than

Woodruff Foundation. Mr. Jones and I were associated for

a@ number of years in the program of the National Youth
Administration, which I joined in 1939, immediately following
my graduation from Morehouse College.
