Boards Stands Firm
The entire free world has assailed the "Wall" built by the
Russians and Communists of East Berlin along the East and West
Berlin border. Shortly after Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen was elected
mayor of our city, primarily due to the crucial Negro vote , he
visited Berlin. Mr. A llen condemned the "Berlin Wall." Now
just a year after the Mayor's election, a proposal was pre sented
by the Board of Aldermen attributed to Mayor Allen and others
which brings a "Berlin Wall" to Atlanta, as they attempt to
close or "Wall-in" several c ity streets. The proposa l to close
these streets (Peyton and Harland) is a vicious scheme to provide
a "buffer" in an effort to block the expans ion of the Negro
community.
The Negro community which is already nearly
"strangled" from the point of land holdings by various schemes
arid "gentlemen agreements," Negroes comprise 39%of Atlanta's
population, .but ho ld only 16% of the land.
The Empire Real Estate, one of the most effective organization
in the Negro community has taken the lead in fighting this proposal. We recognize the special business and commercial interest of the real estate group. However. we feel that the Empire
Real Estate Board is rendering at the same time a valuable
service in protecting the basic rights of the entire Negro comm unity. We strongly support the action of the Empire Real Estate
Board in this controversy. We urge all citizens to get behind
this fight, and if possible attend the public hearing scheduled
for December 13, 1962.
we t.htn\< Ulat Mayor Allen is potentially a great mayor, dedicated primarily to leading Atlanta to greater heights in commerce
and culture. It appears that Mayor Allen is being poorly advised
on issues of direct importance to the Negr:o community, and he
is treading "demagogue road." Many forget thattheU.S. Supreme
Court outlawed "restricted covenants " many years before the
1954 School Decision. American citizens of Peyton Road have
negotiated contracts to sell their property to other U.S. citizens.
We cannot "stomach" a physical "wal:l" used to restrict
our housing expansion. The tactics of Governor Barnett of Mississippi and his band are raw and unsophisticated. Negroes in
Mississippi do not have the ballot. The tactics of Mayor Allen
and his Peyton Road band are sophisticated, but "the tunes we
hear are the same."
Atlanta is suppose to be a progressive city with an enlightened.
Negro community. If these streets are. closed more streets will
be closed. More doors will be closed to our youth. Too many
streets and doors of opportunity are closed to us already.
We stand firmly against the "buffer" scheme and call for the
withdrawal of the proposal which if approved would be a serious
step backward for Atlanta as well as the Negro community.

The recent review of discrimination within the ranks of labor unions, which has resulted in
an open forum on the issue~ involved, carries with it unprecedented significance.
In short, the NAA C:, with la~or secretary Herbert Hill taking the leadership, has called upon
the AFL-CIO Executive Council to forsake its patronizing attitude and give full membership
privileges to its Negro brothers.
The debate took on major proportions when George Meany opened a blistering attack against
the NAACP position before the National American Labor Conference convention during the
past week.
Detroit's TULC, with Robert Battle and Horace Sheffield fast emerging as the leaders of the
aggressive forces in behalf of full rights for Negroes in the ranks of labor on the national scene,
stood steadfast in behalf of the NAACP's position, in the face of the half-hearted attitudes of
other labor stalwarts.

Greater Atlanta Counc .1,
Atlanta is indebted to the Greater Atlanta Council On Human
Relations . This week the organization brought Associate White
Hous e P res s Secretary, Andrew Hatcher, to Atlanta to address
the 1962 Annual Meeting Of the Council. Mr Hatcher's appear ance
s er ved as an ins piration to those who heard him and as a recognitfon of the 1 importance of the work of such organization as the
Council in improving hum an relations among Americans.
The Greate r A tlanta Council on Human Relations has operated
in the fie lds of E mployment, Education, Public F acilities, Rec r e ation, Arts , Churches and in general has given support to all
efforts to open more doors to all the Citizens of Al anta.
T ypical of its pr ogram is its wor k with the Negro trans fer
s tudents. Last year individ.u al me mbers of The Counc il ke pt in
close touch with the nine students. This year, e ven though the
number of transfer students increased to forty-one , The Council
practically alone among community groups has continued its
effor ts to provide friends hip, encouragement and s uppor t to these
students and their families. Individual arrangements for tutoring
have been made for those students who r equested such help.
Council representat ives by visiting s c hools and visiting in the
homes of · the stude nts have gained an ins ight into the process
of school des egr egation in terms of the individuals involved
which will be he lpful in the future. C:uch activities are be st
done outside the spot- light of publ1·ci·ty, but they should be noted
as part of the recor d of the community.

It is time that we come to recognize that it is within the r anks of labor that much of the cr usade
fo: full rights for all citiz~ns mustbe waged. The N,A ACP recognizes ~i~~ Th~ TULC recognizes
this. The AFL-CIO, which has spoken so strongly in fa vor of full citizenship r ights and which
has depended so greatly on the support of its Negro membership, must come to r ecognize this.
The TULC,, in a strongly worded statement to the A FL-CIO Executive Council, points out
to George Meany, its president: "You and your fellow l abor leaders can thunder• threaten, pick
up your treasury and go home. • • the fight of the Negro worker for total absolute equality in the
l abor movement will go on."
In thes e wor ds , a s tand has been take n that must gain added respect for the leade r s in this
fight. The Ni.ACP at the local and national le vel has rece ived .s Qbs tantial fir!ancial s uppor t from
the AFL-CIO, In m any areas union officials are serving as board members on branch chapters
and have endorsed the f:md r aising campaign.
.
The TULC, in strong language, is telling labor leaders that the child-par e nt r e l ations hip with the
f,iegro worker is forever finished." This brings this r e l ationship into a totally d iffer ent light.
De spite labor leader s meeting in Washington to sign a non- bias pact with Vice President Lyndon
Johns on, chairm an of the President's Fair Employment Commission, a l arge segment of the
nation's Negro leadership is saying there is yet a gap between "A FL-CIO promise and AFL-CIO
perfor m ance. "

because Weltner decided "if
Gibson is on the program, I
won't speak."
Acco~ding to Leonard, nintyfive percent of the club's membership was unaware of what
was going on in that they were
already seated at the banquet
table awaiting the start of the
program.
Warren Cochran, director of
the Butler Steet YMCA and exofficio member of the Y's Men
Club, is said to have advised
the new congressman against
appearing on the s ame program
with. Gibson. Cochran claimed to
have been "put on the spot
since he had secured Weltner
as a speaker.
According to witnesses, Welmer argued that since a white
reactionary ne ighborhood paper
had charged that he was involved
in the r ecent shake-ups at the
pos t office, it would not be "politically wise" for him to appear on the program with Gibson.
"I abhor the whole situation
said Le onar d , " but though I
voiced my dissent I was outvoted and told that the decision had already been m ade."
" I was throughly disappointed in Weltner . I thought he was

over the announced changes in

referred to an article in the

suggested that Mr. Gibson and

be to replace postmaster B.F.
Sanders with a Negro Postmaster, as a payoff for the Negro

EDUCATION -IN
THE NEWS
BY
MABLE SANFORD LEWIS
To educate is to instruct, America is concerned about education in ANY of its many aspects. The Civil Defense Educational
Classes should be attended by at least one adult for each family.
If one is to m ake any attempt at survival, one must be
instructed what to do, when to do
it and how to do it. The development of intercontinental
missiles with theromonuclear
warheads has forced strategic
planning for the protection of
all human beings.
Could you qualify for an Award, "Home Preparedness?"
if one was given for answers
to the following questions?
Could you answer by saying
"I MERIT A CIVIL DEFENSE
HOME
PREPAREDNESS AWARD BECAUSE I - 1. Know
the warning signals and what

HAPPEN HERE - ANY TIME ANY DAY.
As we all know, P r esident
Kennedy assigned respons ibility for civil defense to the
Department of Defense by Executive Order No. 10952, dated
July 20, 196L
This ass ignment has r esulted
in the preparation of hundreds
of qua1*{ied school teachers to
instruct classes dealing with
ever y phase of P ERSONAL
PREP ARDNESS IN THE NUCLEAR AGE.
Contact your school principal; he will give you inform atlon pertaining to at;DClas s

items on the need for preparation for civil defense, which is
likely to be with us for a long
time, and we must suppress the
temptation to reach out hastily
for short-term solutions. One of
the booklets circulated · by the
Department of .Defense reads
"There is no panacea for protection from nuclear attack •.
In a major attack upon our country, millions of people would
be killed.
There appears to
be no practical program that
would avoid large-scale loss of
life. But an effective program
of civil defense could save the
lives of millions who would not

shelters and· related preparations, for example, could greatly reduce the number of .casu2alties."
President Kennedy, speaking
on July 25, 1961, put it this
way: "In the event of attack,
the lives of those families which
are not hit in the nuclear blast
and fire can still be saved if
they can be warned to take shelter and if that shelter ls available. We owe that kind of insurance to our families and to
our country."
The P r e sident was talking about shelter from r adio lkttve
fallout. The blast, heat, and
fire of a nuclear explosion
are apa llingly destructive. But
radioactive fallout could spr ead
ove,- thousands of square miles,
covering a much gre ate r area
than the area endangered by
fire and blast. Fallout would
be a pote ntial killer of millions
of unprotected per sons, but it
also is a hazard that individuals and c ommunities can prepare for through reasonable
pr ograms and actions. A fall out shelte r pr ogram is one of
these.

shock.
Mrs. Lizzie Robinson, mother of the woman., stated that
at about 2:30 A.M. November
22, 1962 Mable went outside
to the outhouse. When she returned she was very weak: and
seemed to be in a state of
shock. She further stated! that
her daughter was bleeding profusely. The mother took her
to Grady Hospital where it was
detected that she had given
birth .to an infant. After Miss
Jones was admitted to the hospital, her mother said she returned home and with the assistance of relatives began the
search for the infant. As a
result the baby was found.
She stated that she immediately called police who placed
ber daughter under a "bold
knowing right from wrong. Adding to Mrs. Robinson's troubles
is the facts that she is a Diabetic and lost her mother
through death a week ago. She
states that her every moment is
spent caring for her own child-
ren plus the two children of
her jailed daughter who is unmarried. Mrs. Robinson told
the Inquirer that she does not
know what will happen to her
daughter as she doesn't know
"where to turn" and has no
money to obtain legal defense
for her daughter.
Many neighbors agree with
Mrs. Robinson that Mable did
not intentionally kill her baby.
They feel that she just didn't
realize what was happening and
that she should be given some
sort of mental treatment and not
be tried for murder.
