Hone Ivan Allen, IPs,
Mayor of Atlanta,
Municipal Building,
Atlanta, Georgia.
Dear Mr Allen:

I saw this Stokely Carmichael on a TV panel a couple
weeks ago and he had an evil look in his eyes. He struck
me as a negro# who was looking for trouble. I am very
hapvy that your city of Atlanta has opened war on SNCC,. We
MUST HAVE LAW AND ORDER, I think you have taken the right
action and other cities should do the same. We just can't
tolerate riots and mob rule.

The way all the negro¢é trouble is popping up all over
our country it would appear that it is all planned. I want to
cong ratulate you for taking-prompt action and hope that you can
put a stop to mob violence, riots, and destruction of property.
We are making progress in our relations with negros but such

progress must be by peaceful meanss.

Sincerely yours,

Edwin S. Fern
