Dear Mr, Norton:

Both officially and personally I wish to express wholehearted appreciation
of the fair, impartial and objective report of Atlanta's troubles on
September 6, which you presented in the September 19 edition of U. 8.
News and World Report.

Your terse story had the sense of objectivity and the ring of authenticity
which can only be provided by first hand observation tempered by the
judgement of experience.

I feel sure that your story has done much to widen public understanding
of what actually happened in our city during the afternoon and evening of
that tumultous Tuesday.

My warm congratulations on a super job of reporting and writing,

Sincerely,

Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor
