Atlanta
What happened· to Stokely Carmichael
in Atlanta on Thursda.y strikes us as about
as close to even-handed justice as it's possible to get.
Carmichael was arrested ·on a charge of
inciting to riot in connection with the
hiring of a sound truck that urged Negroes
to protest the wounding of a car-theft suspect who tried to escape. In the riot that
followed, 15 persons were injured . .
Inciting to riot is a misdemeanor with
a maximum penalty of one year in jail.
There may well be places left in the South
where the charge would have been insur-
rection, a capital offense.
But Atlanta is a city of predominantly
thoughtful, moderate people. Justice there
is a point of pride. Carmichael will be
tried and found guilty or innocent. If the
finding is guilty he bas avenues of appeal
to the highest courts.
Carmichael, leader of the Student Nonviolent Co-ordinating Committee, has publicly advocated that if Negroes fail to get
what they want they take the law into
· their own hands. He can be thankful, we
believe, that the people of Atlanta hold
the law in higher respect tl.lan that.·

Snick's Agents of A a c y
Are Fomenting Urba:t;1
ts
THE RECENT riots in Atlanta offer convincing evidence
that most, if not all , of the racial
violence in our large cities has
been organized and led by a
small minority bent upon the destruction of our society.
My authority for this statement is Ralph McGill, publisher
of the Atlanta Constitution, and
long a moving and militant force
fo r equal treatment of the Negro
citizen as provided by law and
the Constitution of the United
States.
McGill places responsibility for
the Atlanta disturbances squarely
upon the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (Snick) and
its leader, Stokely Carmichael.
Snick, according to _McGill, has
no more than 300 members. These
have been the a gents of anarchy
in Watts, New York, Chic ago,
Cleveland and other major cities.
Snick's beginnings were more
ausp1c1ous. Its early student
leaders were motivated by high
dedication to the civil rights
cause. Now the John Lewises
and other responsibles are out.
Con trol of Snick is held by the
ex treme radicals, of which Car:nichael is the dominant figure .
As McGill says, Snick is no
longer a civil r ights organizati on but an anarchistic group
which is openly and officially
commi tt ed to th e destruction of
exist ing institutions.
T hough small in membership,
Snick appeals to all haters of
the white man. Its slogans of defiance intrigue the very yo ung
as was shown in A tlanta where
the mob was largely com posed
of youngsters in the 12 t o 18
age ran~e.
the NAACP and Whitney
Young who heads the Urban
League have all repudiated
Stokely Carmichael and h is tac~
tics.
·*
THE CITY of Atlanta has
long enjoyed an enviable reputation for racial amity. Ironically, it was Atlanta's splen,did
image
that
the
destroyers
sought to tarnish.
And yet, unwittingly, Stokely
Carmichael and his followers performed a useful service not only
for Atlanta but for the entire
nation.
For here was stripped away
the myth that Negroes are always incited to riot over poor
Jiving conditions, Jack of employment and denial of civil
rights.
Mr. Carmichael has now revealed · himself for what he isa scheminlg 'fomenter of disorder, a mad dog who attacks all
whites indiscriminately, a revolutionist who seeks to burn and
destroy, a terrorist who defies
law and spits upon our flag .





THE RIGHT to pe~ceable
assembly is guaranteed by th e
Bill of Rights, as is the freedom
to demonstrate and to seek redress of grievances.
· Togeth~r and ip- a .spirit of
constructive cooperation, the
Negro and white communi~ies
must find solutions and answers
to the problems which beset our
cities. For they are both numerous and difficult.
A ma jor start has been made
in m a ny areas. Where failures
have occurred, the Negro is usually as much at fault as his white
brother. Sus picions, distrust and
fear of association have worked
against the Negroes' best interests.
But the effort must gc, ahead
if we are to enj oy the fruits of
a compatible society in which
there is mutuality of purpose and
respect for all.





THIS NATION will not,
however, permit the destroyers
of societ y - the Carmichaels
and his ranting radicals - t o
tear down what we have built,
to burn and destroy, to defy law
and order with- rocks and Molot ov cocktails or to hurl anarchi stic slogans and impr ecations
at our public official s.
The Ribicoffs and the Kennedys who continue to deplore
"our trag ic conditions" from
comfortable seats in t he U.S.
Senate should visit riot areas
and' seek to . quiet the mob, as
did Mayor Allen.
· If nothing else, the experience
might leave them better informed and not quite so ·sure
that all social ills can be cured
by dispensing . a few hundred
more millions from Wa~hington.
Plus C<1 Change, Etc.
TODA Y'S el ection in South
Vietnam is largely an exercise in
propaganda.
I ts purpose is to elect a 117member assembly charged with
writing a new national constitution. When that is done, a legislature is to be elected next year .
. The election has been n eatly
rigged by the ruling junta. Premier Ky's generals can change
any part of the new constitution
Unless two-thirds of the constituent assembly objects. This
rneans the junta could control
the assembly with a t hird of the
Votes, plus one, or 40 votes.
So despite ef fo r ts of t h e Vietco ng to di sru pt t h e elect ion by
llcts of viol ence against those
"who partic ipate, the outcome is
assur ed. It w ill be acclaimed in
W ash ington and Saigon as a trium ph ! o r representative government.

�Something to .Consider
The violent Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee has gone into
Federal court in Atlanta to ask nullification of anti-riot laws under which
its Chairman Stokely Carmichael was
arrested.
SNCC bas been trying to nullify
anti-riot laws all along by ignoring
them. When we see how SNCC acts
with riot laws on the bqoks, think how
it would act if they were nullified.

Rioting In Atlanta
The most surprising thing about the
riot in Atlanta is that it should have
happened there. For Atlanta, by general
· agreement, has been a model for southern cities in its race relations.
Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. has walked the
last mile in search of racial peace. He
had almost solid Negro support when
elected. He was one of the few southerners t o t estify in support of the 1964 clvtl
rights bill. He has added Negroes t o the
police force. Atlanta's schools and city
facillties are totally integrated. Many
Negroes are employed by business establishments and the city has sent eight
Negroes to the state legislature.
All of this count ed for nothing,
h owever, when a suspected Negro car
thief was wounded while t rying to
escape from arresting police officers.
When some 500 or more Negroes took to
the streets the mayor climbed on top of
an automobile and tried t o reason with
t hem. He was shouted down . Taunts of
"white devil" and "black power" greeted
h im. Finally the mob surged around the
car and the mayor was jarred loose frolll.
his perch and fell to the street.
No, this didn't happen 1n a Birm-
Ingham or a Selma. It happened in
Atlanta. Little wonder that the Rev.
Martin Luther King Sr., who lives in
Atlanta, was heard to ask: "What do
they want? The mayor came down. He
tried to speak to them and they
wouldn't listen. What do they wapt?"
It was a good question, but hard to
answer. For most of the members of the
mob may not have known themselves
what they wanted-unless it was an
excuse to throw rocks and rant about
police brutality.
The mayor says the riot was deliberately caused by some of Stokely Carmichael's SNCC henchmen, and he may be
right. For the mob began shouting "kill
the white cops" a fter SNCC representatives, according to the police, spread t he
false word that the suspected car thief
"h ad been shot while handcuffed and
that he was murdered."
Wh atever may h ave been t he case
with the riot ers, it seems clear that what
the SNCC people want ts trouble, trouble, t rouble. And that Is what t hey are
going t o get, though n ot in the form
they want, if this .sort of madness keeps
up.

The Trials of Atlanta
_ UNTIL THIS week, t~e City of Atlanta had maintained a glowing reputation as one of the hardest-working
~ommunities in the building of interracial harmony and progress. Through
the efforts and cooperation of whites
and Negroes, it established itself as a
model of peaceful integration, a model
studiei by other Southern communities trying to solve their own racial
problems.
Then Stokely Carmichael came to
town with his inflammatory sales
pitch for "black power" and his rantings against "the white devils." And
on Tuesday night, Carmichael's loudspeaker campaign came' to fruition
with the rioting of a mob. This mob
a ttacked the mayor, who tried to reason with its members. It attacked the
policemen who tried to restore order.
But it did more-it attacked the concept Atlanta has represented, the concept that real compromise and cooperation can achieve a spirit in ·wnich all
races can work together to build a
better city.
• THIS WAS perhaps the greatest
damage that the mob did. Now other
city fathers may be tempted -to shrug
t heir shoulders and say: "What's the
use? Atlanta ·has done as much as any
city in the South to make co_operative
integration work, and look what happened."
Dallas citizens in particular may
be discouraged by Atlanta's experience, for the two cities are very much
alike in their populations, in their
economies and in their attempts to
build through interracial cooperation.
But before we decide to abandon
the path that Dallas and Atlanta have
tried to follow, it would serve us well
to look deeper into the events of the
current week. There is more to the
story than the headlined activities of
Carmichael's SNCC barnstormers or
of the hundreds of young rioters.
We should note that there were
Negro as well as white leaders who
tried, at the risk of their safety, to
quell the viole·nce. There were Negro
as well as white policemen who skillfully restored order before the riot
turned into a bloodbath.
And, perhaps most important, the
Negro Atlantans, local civil-rights
leaders and ministers, were the ones
who organized a door-to-door campaign the following day to counter
Carmichael's efforts to turn the city
into a battleground.
IN SHORT, in Atlanta, there is a
durable fabric of society, a fabric that
has been woven of both white and
black threads through the years of cooperation. The efforts of these years
have not been as dramatic or as wellpublicized as the riot, but in the final
analysis they should prove to be more
lasting in their results.
These results of the work of men
of good will will not be destroyed
overnight by men of Carmichael's
stripe. Rational Atlantans of both
races cannot stand by and see their
community torn asunder, because
those of both races know that they
have a stake in its future .
The Rev. Samuel Williams, president of the Atlanta chapter of the
NAACP, summed it up most succinctly when he declared:
"Atlanta is not by far a perfect
city but it is too great to be destroyed
by simpleminded bigotry."

REJECTING the easy and superficial course
of outraged denunciation, Mayor Ivan Allen,
Jr., of Atlanta is reacting sensibly and constructively to the recent racial disorders in
his city.
While condemning Stokely Carmichael and
his cohorts for their role in the rioting, the
Mayor conceded that t he substandard living
conditions in the Negro area where the outbreak occurred would be a fertile field for
agitation by anyone.
The city, he said, "must assume the responsibility of housing, education, and employment opportunities for many of these disadvantaged people, and in Atlanta we have
accepted this as our responsibility." The
Mayor also made it clear that he favors
passage of the civil-rights bill - now before
Congress with an even stronger open-housing
provision than it contains in its present-form.
With this kind of leadership, Atlanta should
continue to show the way to racial accommodation in the Deep South.
The rioting in Atlanta came after a policeman shot a Negro sought in a car-theft case.
The policeman's judgment, in this instance,
is open to question, but the use that Carmichael and his lieutenants made of the incident brings Carmichael's judgment into even
more serious question. The evidence is strong
that he provoked the violence, and to what
purpose?
Mr. Carmichael, it is becoming increasingly clear, is a liability to the civil-rights movement. His purposes are undefined and his
aggressions unfocused. His tiresome chant
of "black power" is dangerously provocative
and he has yet to define what it means in the
context of his operations.
Dr . Martin Luther King, on the other hand,
continues to speak in accents of reason. Commenting on the Atlanta outbreak, Dr. King
said: " It is still my firm conviction that a
riot is socially destructive and self-defeating
... (but ) ... while condemning riots, it is just ,
as important to condE>mn the conditions which
bring riots into being."
This is virtually the same position that
Mayor Allen takes, yet Mr. Carmichael implie that Mayor Allen is a raci t If he is, then
o is Dr. King, and Stokelv Carmichael is
going to ha\'e a hard time elling that idea.

�Undeserved-Abuse For Atlanta
The civil r igh ts movement will
lose gro un d ·fasl if Negroes fall fo r
the phony "bl ack power li Lany
chanted by the liJ<es -0£ Snick's Stokely Carmichael.
The Carmichael crowd demonstra ted it poten tial for evil in Atlan ta t he
other n ight when it t urned an inciden t into a full blown riot .
Atlan ta is known t h1;oughout t he
na tion as a Southern city wil·h a solid
record o.f i;-aci?-1 progres . . Communication between the Negro communi ty
and Lhe city's leadership as represent-
ed by Mayor Ivan Allen was excellent.
Ye t when t he courageous mayor
strode in to t he crowd and appeared to
h ave it under control, t he Carmichael
ga ng worked its mi schief as though
t hey h ad rehearsed i_t.
The resulting destruction will set
race relations in Atl anta back many
yeaJiS. Atlanta did not deserve t his
a bu se. And as for t he rank and fil e
demonstrators who were deceived by
t he call for "black power," we quote
Mayor Allen's lamen t : "They don· t
k now. They j ust don't know."
�A Cause -For Anger
MAYOR Ivan Allen· Jr. of Atlanta is
one of the new breed of Soutnern political
leaders who seeks equal justice fo r all under the law. He has helped earn his community a repu ta ti on .for enligh tened handling of racial matters.
The mayor is angry. No t because he
was tumbled in the dust by a mob he was
trying to calm. He is angry because, he
says, the riot was egged on by a group
which calls itself non-violent.
There is substance in what the mayor
says. A sound truck manned by members
of t he Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee was rushed to the area of tension where police and taunt ing Negroes
faced each other. Over the loudspeaker
SNCC denounced ~racist police" and ext olled "black power."
In the ensuing violence 16 persons were
injured. Between 60 and 70 were arrested.
More moderate Negro leadership is
critical of SNCC's tactics. One Atlanta
minister said t he situation was under control before the "nonviolen t" ones arrived.
"They whipped them up with hate," said
t'he minister.
Others, including the Squthern Chr istian Leadership Conference, condemned
t he violence.
In these times of tension and unres t , no
community can afford t o point a fing"'r a t
another or close its eyes to its own shortcomings. The sit uation in Atlanta, how-
,ii Atlanta
ever, shows how easily violence can be
created ·by irresponsible agent s and how
seriously it can affect t he patient, dedicated search for sol utions by individuals of
both races.
May or Allen has cause to be angry and
so have those in Atlanta and elsewhere
who know that violence can only destroy.

Honorable Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
Atlanta, Georgia
My dear Sir:
The pictures and stories on the front pages of
our Los Angeles newspapers have given me hope to believe
that there are some still left in our Country who have
the moral courage of the men and women who struggled in
earlier days to make AmericaJt wha·t it is.
It was foolhardy of you to charge into the middle
of a riot scene - and I can .not thinm of a single
instance in modern times wher~ an official of our
go1m11nment in any capacity has done so,-any one vbo was
willing to be personally involved on the side of law and
order.
I have listened to gihowing reports of Atlanta from
a friend of mine, Mr. Dan Haughton of Lockheed, and now
I attribute much of what is happening there to its
Mayor.
Earlier I said it was foolhardy of you, but thank
you for giving a surge to my drooping spirits, I shall
long remember the picture of a determined man, unafraid
to stand up for what he believes his duty. But do be
careful, there are not enough of such as you.
Sincerely
_fl~~

Atlanta's Mayor And Police
Handled Bad Situation Well
Stokely Carmichael of the now-misnamed Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee apparently got what he wanted
in Atlanta Tuesday - a riot by Negroes
protesting the shooting of a man pursued
by police.
Carmichael has gone to great lengths to
explain his idea of "black power" in terms
of political strength, insisting ihat it is not
a call to violence. But the real fruits of
his call for "black power" fell in Atlanta.
Mayor Ivan Allen Jr., displaying supreme personal courage and great concern
for his city, went into the midst of the
mob to plead for law and order. It was
only after he had been knocked from the
top of a car, where he was urging the
crowd to disperse, that Mayor Allen gave
orders to police to return force with force.
That was the only course left to the
mayor and the police in the absence of
cooperation from Carmichael and other
Negro leaders who had worked the crowd
to an emotional pitch. The airing of grievances must be tolerated, but the imposition
of a state of anarchy in a city is out of the
question.
Atlanta police showed considerable restraint in handling the crowd as they were
being pelted by rocks, bottles and bricks.
This restraint kept the number of injured
to a minimum. The police also reflected
the department's effective riot-control
training when the mayor gave the orders to
move against the mob.
It is regrettable that such an incident
took place in progressive Atlanta. It again
demonstrates that some elements of the
Negro community in most cities are easily
aroused against the police by the incitement
of extremists. It serves to remind us, too,
that police must always act with extreme
care in the use of firearms during arrests
in racially-tense areas.
All who heard and saw reports of the
Atlanta riot at the height of the action
were shaken by its savageness. Except for
the courage and decisiveness of Mayor
Allen and the professional conduct of the
police in the face of the mob, the bloodshed and destruction would have been far
worse.

Mcfyo r Lookea Good in Atlanta Racial CriSis
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
ATLANTA, Sept. 20-Despioo
sudden abback upon him by
some white liberals, M.ayor Ivan
Allen of Atlanba seems sure to
emerge from his city's postLabor Day racial disturbances a
nger figure than ever.
ttesponsible Negro leaders
and s y m p at h e t i c white
spokesmen he1·e simply do not
buy any argument that the
incidents demonstrate that the
Mayor's intern at i o n a 11 y
celebrated assault upon Negro
!OndJ.1ions
is fundamentally
insincere.
Influentti.al Negroes and whites
criticize Mr. Allen on
porbant specifics of his
performance, but they do not
seriously question his motives,
his attitudes or his courage.
Most impre6Sive to these
people was liis risky mingling
with young hotheads stirred up
in the Sept. 6 outbreak in
summerhiil .
For an hour and a half, Mr.
Allen plunged from one angry
knot of rock-'throwing Negroos
lio another, trying oo calm them
down and a vert s tern police
action. He told this report.er in
an interview:
" Sometimes when I'd be
talking to one group, another
would be jumping a policeman
just behind my back.
Most of the aroused Negroes
did not know who he was. Some,
he found, did not know WHAT
a mayor was. While he milled
around, some p o l i c e m e n
helplessly muttered fears for his
safety.
An experienced Negro civil
rights leader in Atlanta says
privately:
"It was very significant that
Mayor Allen saw the trouble
first-hand, that he experienced
the anger and didn't just read
about it in police reports". He
w~t out there when his very
p1·esence could
provocative.
have
been laid at his door. Negro leaders
"It is good to know we have
a man who cares enough to go
in and see."
A white liberal, looking at the
mayor from a longer view, says
his determination to rid Atlanlla
of slums is "almost an
obsession" with h,lm. This
source thinks, in fact, that
others in the city's white power
structure are s o m e t i m e s
annoyed
at
the
mayor's
preoccupation wibh tihis and
other Negro problems.
·Some of the very same Negro
and white spokesmen who speak
feelingly of Mayor Allen's
dedication and courage believe
he has not really grasped the
depths of slum despair and
frustration, that he mov(!B too
slowly and too narrowly to
eradicate festering conditions
which could be growing worse.
Not all the blame for this is
often criticize themselves and
their middle class colleagues for
not showing more forceful and
imaginative leadership.
There was cr iticism of the
mayor, however, for arresting
SNCC leade1· Stokely Carmichael
and other " SNICK" workers on
charges of " inciting a riot." Id;
was argued that responsible Negroes in the distw·bance areas
were effectively casting out
Carmichael and his limited
followers on their own.
Tho ex p e r i e n c e d Negro
leaders vehemently disapproved
of Oarmichael's tactics, a
prominent lawyer among them
said privately that one group he
sat in with suggested quietly
llhat the stir "might do us a
whole lot of good."
The argument Is the obvious
one: there has been too much
attention oo Atlanta's shining
surface, too little to its seamy
underside.

Dear Ivan:
The TV news here in New York ran a
film strip last evening on the recent racia l
dis_turbances in Atlanta. Part of the fil m
showed you standing on top of an automobile
and a later part showed you making a statement
about the incident.
I am sure that everyone, who had any
knowledge at all about the situation, who saw
you on TV felt a sense of pride in what you
had to say and the manner i n which you said
it. It is too bad, of course, to see this
kind of thing happening in Atlanta, but I rise
to s a lute you i n your response to it.
Wi th all good wishes.

A New Star In King's Crown
Atlanta's Negro riot - and no
unruly gathering with overtones of
violence should slide by under the
euphemism of "demonstration" shows that in the field of racial
progress as in so many others, you
just can't satisfy some people.
Atlanta has long been regarded
as a municipal beacon of Negro
progress and interracial goodwill
shining in a darkened wilderness.
It has been held up to other areas
of the South as proof that Negroes
and whites can jointly build a great
city with opportunities and benefits
for all, that progress can substitute
for "never" and prosperity for
"freedom now."
.----
BUT SUDDENLY there is a smirch
upon the image of Atlanta which
had been as golden as the dome of
the state capitol, sitting there on its
own little Acr opolis. Atlanta has had
a race riot, its Negroes have poured
into ttie streets s ffillting "black
power," its mayor, second in succession with proved records of friendship to the Negroes of that city, has
been attacked while he talked with
the mob seeking an end to the
trouble.
It is no more logical to expect all
Negroes in a city to be wise and
logical and understanding than it is
t o expect all white citizens of a city
so to be. But it is tragic that a relative handful of nincompoops can
destroy for the reasonable, hardworking and understanding majority
of Negroes in a city such as Atlanta
most of the goodwill they have
enjoyed, ancl put sand in the gears
of continued progress.
ATLANTA'S RIOT, and the personal, physical attack upon its proNegro mayor, give obvious excuse
to other cities and other leaders to
reject efforts for cooperation with
Negroes for improved racial relations and opportunities. "If they
can't even be satisfied in Atlanta,
there's no point in trying," is going
to be a general reaction.
Thus once more the excesses of
the "black power" movement will
react against the best interests of
the vast majority of Negroes. And
everyone should remember that the
rioters in every city, north or south,
represent but a minute portion of
the Negro population of each city
involved.
But this excess was itself inevitable. No matter the need, as Martin
Luther King interpreted it, for focusing public attention upon the needs
and wishes of the Negroes, when
the civil rights effort took to the
streets it laid the groundwork for
rioting. And the successes which
met Dr. King's tactic of provocation
inevitably planted in other minds
the idea that it pays to riot.
'FHE PARTICULAR riot in Atlanta was triggered by the shooting
.of a Negro suspect in a car theft
investigation. Circumstances surrounding the shooting weren't clear
in press reports of the riot. But it
was white police against a Negro
suspect, and to the militant "black
power" groups anything a white
policeman does that a Negro doesn't
like is "police brutality."
This, too, is an outgrowth of the
King doctrine that there is a moral
obligation to disobey some laws.
From this sprang the idea that you
obey only the laws you want to obey,
which is the same as saying you don't
have to obey laws at all and those
who try to make you do so are oppressive brutes.
Martin Luther King and his
tactics of violent non-violence came
from Atlanta, and now they have
returned. In addition to all the
progress with which he is credited,
he must be credited too with
Atlanta's riot.
And with the fact that the same
day the, wires carried the story of
Atlanta's night of violence, they
carried the word that Senate leaders
concede passage of the newest civil
rights bill is virtually impossible.

Comm·on Sen·se And Silliness
There have been some encouraglng- comments from Negro leaders
in recent weeks, seeking to put
common sense into the efforts fo r
improvement of the lot of Negroes
and to put an end to the mania for
achievement by riot. These are
keyed generally to offsetting the
rougher aspects of the " black
power" movement.
Out of these have come some good
words of advice. Even Martin Luther
King has tried to play down the
"black power" business, and called
off his planned march into Cicero,
Ill., with what appeared to be only
a face-saving agreement with officialdom, in the face of almost certain
violence.
THURGOOD MARSHALL, former
Negro precept, these are words
worthy of repeating. And they are
refreshing and encouraging.
But in the midst of these encouraging signs, there continue to be
indications of a lack of maturity in
· other areas of Negro leadership, and
of a basic misunderstanding of the
meaning of equality of citizenship.
The Florida NAACP, for instance,
has just pulled one which is best
described as silly.
IT HAS 4NNOUNCED that it will
hold a rally, and invite all candi•
dates for the Legislature and other
state offices. "And we will campaign
against any who don't accept the
invitation."
Apparently, then, the NAACP
leadership in Florida is not inter-
executive of the NAACP and the
ested in what f uture legislators and
first Negro ever to be appointed
solicitor general of the United
States, a former federal judge and
thoroughly competent lawyer, has
added his weight to the commonsense talk.
Speaking to a national Negro
fraternity's convention last week, the
solicitor general denounced "the
rock throwers and the Molotov cocktail throwers." And he added that
' 'lawlessness is lawlessness, anarchy
fs anarchy. Neither race nor color
t10r frustration is an excuse for
either lawlessness or anarchy."
state officials believe, what their
policies for better living conditions
are, what their ideas are about economic improvements which would
aid Negroes as well as others. The
NAACP leadership is merely inter
ested in demonstrating its blackmail
power to force candidates to come
before a convention audience.
_ _IN A. TIME ~h

blacks are increasingly prone to the
Vl e t approach to problemsj and

lot, and the poorest form of political

s o .nore concept o
its role than it showed in that chal·

for Negro citizens is not as rosy as
it has appeared to be.

Rioting In Atlanta
The most surprising thing about t he
riot in Atlanta is that it should have
happened there. For Atlant a, by general
agreement , h as been a model for southern cities in its race relations.
Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. h as walked the ·
last m ile in search of r acial peace. He
had almost solid Negro support when
elected. He was one of the few southerners to testify in support of the 1964 civil
rights bill. He has added Negroes t o the
police force. Atlanta's schools and city
facilit ies a re totally integrated. Many
Negroes are employed by business establishments and th e city h as sen t eight
Negroes to the state legislature.
All of this counted for n othing,
h owever, when a suspected Negro car
t hief was wounded while trying to
escape from arresting police offic ers.
When some 500 or more Negroes t ook t o
the streets the mayor climbed on top of
an automobile and tried t o reason with
them. He was shouted down. Taunts of
"white devil" and "black power" greeted
him. Finally th e mob surged around the
car and the mayor was jarred loose from
his perch and fell to the street .
No, this didn't happen in a Birm-
ingharn or a Selma. It happened in
Atlanta. -Little wonder that the Rev.
M·a r tin Luther King Sr., who lives in
Atlanta, was heard to ask: "What do
they want? The mayor came down. He
tried· to speak to them and they
wouldn't listen. What do they want?"
It was a good question, but hard to
answer. For most of the members of the
mob may no~ have known themselves
what they wanted-unless it was an
excuse t o throw rocks and rant about
police brutality.
The mayor says the riot was deliberately caused by some of Stokely Carmichael's SNCC henchmen , a nd he may be
right. For t h e mob began shouting "klll
the white cops" after SNCC repr esentat ives, according to the police, spread the
false word that the suspected car thief
"had been shot while h andcuffed and
that h e was m urdered."
Whatever may h ave been the case
with the rioters, it seems clear that what
the SNCC people want ts trouble, trouble, trouble. And that ts what they are
going to get,, though not in t h e form
they want, if this sort of madness keeps
up.

mount nonviolent demonstrations to protest racial

"It's bad enough that
we've got crazy, mixed-up
