WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1963
Glad Mr. Allen Is Atlanta's Mayor
A.tlanta Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. last
week became t he first sou thern public
official t o testify in behalf of the Kennedy administration's prize pack age of
civil rights legislation, particula rly f'.:>r
the so-called elimin'1tion of discrimi
nation in public accomodations.
Mr. Allen, one recalls, is indebted to
the large Atlanta Negro vote for being
mayor of that city, so his t estimony m
Washington last Friday can be viewed
in th at ligh t as far as judging its impartiality.
Mr. Allen e>.::pressed t he fe&r that
without Co11gressional action, "cities
like Atlant a might slip backward." In
essence, that without the compul~ion
af federal law, individuals might p1 esume to make individual choice in their
associations and the disposition of their
proper ty and services.
At ,no point in his rather lengthy dis·:.rt,a.tiun t o the Senate Commerce Comrn ittee does Mr. Allen deplore dangerous a n d provocative street demonstra-
t ions which have impeded public safety
nor does he condemn the destruction of
individual rights at the hands of mobs
who demand the right to t hei~ own set
of laws by defying those with which
t hey do not agree.
Presumably M.r. Allan secs nothing
wrong in having the federal government move as fast as it can int,o area s
of private rights on the specious ground
t hat so-called "anti - discrimination"
measures enjoy a "moral" priority in
n ation~! a ffairs. What h e would promote is the basically 11:n-American notion that Negroes must be set up as a
special minority, not only to be afforded equality of treatment but, 1n fact,
made py federal compulsion a. special
category of citizensh ip more than
"equal."
Mr. Allen, we h ave pointed out , i !
mayor of Atlanta. We are grateful,
indeed, h is peculiar philosohy is a,t
least far removed from Rome. We
doubt if it represents n1ajority thinking
in his own city.
GE Shows Community Pride

company as w~ll as community by displaying unique license plates advertis·

Passage Of Accommodations Bill Urged;
Voluntary Action Is Termed Not Enough
By JACK CLAIBORNE
AROUND BASES
Observer Washinston Bureau
WASHINGTON - Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. told
the . Senate Commerce Committee Friday that voluntary
action was not enough to solve the nation's racial problems.
McNamara Ol(s
Off-Limits Areas
He urged Congress to enact a federal law outlawing
racial discrimination in places of public accommodation.
Not to do so, he said, would mean turning back the
clock and reversing the uneasy progress that has been made
recently by men of good will.
"Even now, the knowledge that this bill might not
pass has caused some business men who agreed to desegregate their businesses to question whether they made the
right move," he said.
The graying mayor pleade dwith the Congress to,
"give us some direction, give us some definition."
As be talked he leaned forward toward the microphone on the desk before him and his words came out
softly, distinctly.
The committee and the small
ceilinged hearing room w e r e
hushed by the drama and the
eloquence of his statement.
"As the mayor of the south'!ast's largest city, I can say
to you out of first-hand experience and first-hand knowledge
that nowhere does the problem
of eliminating discrimination between the races strike so closely
home as it <loes to- the local
elected public official. He is the

"Like a foundling baby, this
awesome problem has been left
on the doorsteps of local governments throughout the nation."
After tracing Atlanta's progress in r ace r elations and voluntary desegregation, and praising
the community spirit that made
it possible, the mayor said:
SEN. PASTORE
" On the other hand, following
the line of thought of the decisions of the federal courts in
the past 15 years, I am not convinced that current rulings of
the courts would grant to American business the privilege of
discrimination by race in the selection of its customers. . •
"Are we going to say that it
is all right for the Negro citizen
to go into the bank on Main
Street and to deposit his earnings
or borrow money, then to go into
the department stores to buy
what he needs, to go to the supermarket to purchase food for b"is
family, and so on along Main
Street until he comes to a restaurant or a hotel?
"In all these other business
places he is treated just like
any other customer. But when
he comes to the restaurant or
hotel, are we going to say that
it is right and legal for the operators of these businesses, merely as a matter of convenience
to insist that the Negro's citizen~

WASHINGTON - Sen. John
Pastore, acting chairman of
the Senate Commerce Committee, publicly rebuked S o u t h
Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond
for " brow - beating" Atlanta
Mayor Ivan Allen Rr. on Friday.
When Thurmond objected to
the rebuke, the two senators
engaged in an angry shouting
match, their second in the recent round of hearings on the
President's civil rights bill.
Mayor Allen and the sparse
crowd in the hearing r o o m
looked on in astonishment as
the two senators exchanged insults over the big hearing
room's public address system.
Pastore's feelings a r o s e
during Thurmond's questioning of Allen about th e
mayor's endorsement of the
President's public accommodations bill.
But when Pastore tried to regain the floo r " to make a comment" Thurmond r efused to
yield.
When . Thurmond did yield,
Pastore m a calm voice that
belied his rising feelings delivered a lecture "to the members of this committee" about
the station of many of the witnesses. He said they were "distinguished men in their own
right" and "entitled to t h e
courtesy of this committee. "
When Pastore had completed his lecture, 'Thurmond

Explains Capitol Standstill
Whatever happened to Congress?
What hapened to the President's propo3als? Is the
legislative branch of our government breaking down?
To get the answers to these questions, reporters in
The Observer's Washington Bureau talked with key insiders at the White House and in Congress. These insiders told the story, speaking frankly when assured that
they would not be named.
You'll be able to read the answers in The Observer
Sunday.
The G~eat. Internal Struggle
Is the nation facing the worst domestic crisis since
1865 as the struggle over integration deepens?
To assess this situation, the Associated Press sent a
team of its top reporters into the nation.
They present their findings in a penetrating series
of Sunday reports. The fin,t one will appear in The Observer on Sunday.

to ask if the acting chairman
was implying that Thurmond
had been discourteous to Allen.
Pastore leaned back in his
chair and laughed. "Well to
be perfectly frank about it,
yes. You asked a 'when did
you stop beating your wife
question; and I won't tolerate
that kind of question from
this committee."
His temper still rising, he
said, "If .it's necessary we'll
go into executive session and
talk about it. "
Thurmond was furious. He
denied asking any 'loaded'
questions and said he resented
Pasture's accusations.
Pastore shouted that Thurmond had asked a question
that went something like, 'Mr.
Mayor, ·since the enactment
of this bill would close many
businesses in s m a 11 towns
throughout the South, don't
you think that would mean a
taking of property by the
federal government without due
process of the law?' "
Thurmond angrily denied
asking such a question.
Pastore then asked, "Will
the reporter (a stenographer who takes down everything said during a hearing)
read the question back?"
'Thur mond interrupted, snouting, "Well, all right, suppose

"I'm only trying to get at

"Your truth is not my truth,"
replied Pastore.
At that the crowd laughed
and broke into applause.
Thurmond quickly accused
Pastore of not maintaining

Wirtz Calls New 1-Iuddle
Of RR, U11ion Deleg.ates
WASHINGTON - <UPil Stung by charges that t h e
government was tryi ng to dictate a settlement of the railroad crisis, Labor Secretary
Willard Wirtz announced Friday that union and management negotiators would make
another attempt to settle the
work-rules dispute themselves.
Wirtz made the unexpected
disclosure during an appearance before a Senate Com merce Committee hearing on
President Kennedy's proposal
to put the four-year-old hassle
into the hands of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
His announcement came a
few 1lours before the union management
se,sion
was
scheduled.
Wirtz' disclosure of the new
collective bargaining effort
came after AFL·CIO Presi-
dent Geo1·ge Meany in ef.
feet rejected the Kennedy
plan and suggested that Congress set up a special committee to oversee a fresh
try at a negotiated settle •
ment.
The labor secretary said the
new bargaining session would
be held in bis office starting
at 8:30 p.m. EDT. He will sit
in on the discussions.
A spokesman for Wirtz explained that this was not an
indication that a break-tbrouglt
might be imminent in the
work-rules dispute.
Wirtz was obviously annoyed
by charges during the Senate hearing by heads of the
rail unions that the President's
proposal for the ICC to make
issues in the dispute was radical, dangerous and in favor
of the management -ide.

BACKGROUND
Atlanta's Mayor: 'All
Alone- W -ith His Co r
By WALTER RUGABER
Special To The Times
From The N.Y. Herald Tribune
ATLAN'I'A - For days the
word went out from the big
businessmen and civic leaders,
the political · pros and public
opinion molders, the people in .
Atlanta who usually count the
most.
"You're making a oig mistake."
,The rn es s a g e was plain,
iblunt, and nearly unanimous.
lvan AIJen Jr., the 52-year-o!d
merchant - turned - mayor, listened very carefuIIy.
Then aII alone with _his· courage, he flew off to Washington
and went before the Senate
IVAN ALLEN JR.
Commerce Committee to read
• . . listened, but
a carefuily - drafted 14-page
statement.
" Gentleman,"
the mayor or Allen seemed genuinely sursaid firmly, "if I bad your prob- prised by it.
lem, armed with the local exAbout his testimony, he says
perience I have had, I would simply •:that the nation's maypass a public a ccommodations
ALLEN THUS BECAME THE
first - and just possibly the
last - southern politician t o
voice public ,approval of the
most controversial portion of
the civil rights bill.
The mayor came back to Atlanta and found two m ain
schools of thought about bis
star tling behavior before t h e
Senate committee.
The least substantial version
put it down as a shaIJow bid
for Negro votes, but seasoned
observers said that even with
a full turnout he would still
need plenty of support from
whites.
For a quarter.cent ury, win,
ning Atlanta politics has been
ibased on a highly successful
"alliance" between Negroes and
so-called better class whites.
And the thought was that the
latter might prefer !ree enterprise more than Allen when
the 1966 term comes up. The
mayor has ind-icated that he
intends to run again.
T1{E S E C O N D FEELING
about the mayor's testimony
considered the possibility that
he had talked with President
Kennedy and was angling for
a federal job.
AIJen denied it stoutly; fo.
sisting that he talked with no
one in Washington e,reept the

Senator Hails Allen
For Attacking Bias
By TED LIPPMAN
Const itution Was hi ngton Burea u
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Mayc,r Ivan Allen Jr. Friday
urged Congress to pass a "public accommodations" civil
rights bill.
He said the country needs " a
clear defin ition from Congress"
on what must be done to do away
with racial discrimination. Without that, he said, cities like Atlanta that have made progress
oluntarily will "slip back."
The mayor said that if Coness does not act, it will be in
ct an "endorsement" of segation.
,e m ayor was the fi rst Southpolitician to testify in favor
e legislation. He was warmly
1sed for his statement by the
iliman and other members of
i! Senate Commerce committee,
, ·ch is handling the bill.
RMED VALIANT
"I am humble in your presence," Chairman John P astore of
Rhode Island told Allen. He said
Allen displayed " courage" in
speaking out for civil rights because he came from an area
"where sincere people disagree."
Pastore is an advocate of civil
rights legislation. He and Sen.
Strom Thurmond, D-S.C., who is
opposed to the pending bill, got
' into a hot and angry, top-of-thelungs argument while Allen was
on the witness stand.
e PINPOINTING ASKED
P astore accused Thurmond of
asking Allen " loaded" questions
and threatened to rule hirrl out
of order. Thurmond accused Pastore of "gag" rule and accused
the audience, which had applauded P astore, of being "a bunch of
left wingers."
The burden or Mayor Allen's
testimony was that if Congress
, would specify just where discrimination is illegal, it will be
easier for local governments and
businessmen to comply with demands from Negroes for more
' rights. He said Congress ought
• to outlaw discrimination in private
business-but give communities
"24 months or more" to adjust to
the new law.
"I have heard dozens of businessmen say that if there had been
a cowt order or definition by
Congress, it would have b e e n
easier to desegregate," Allen said.
Sen. Thurmond pointed out to
Allen that eight of 10 examples

R ights of the Negro
-by Southerner
Senator says: ' I am humbled'
From ALISTAIR COOKE
New York, July 28
It begins to appear that when everyone has had his
say befor e the Senate Commerce Committee, which
tomorrow begins its third week of hearings on the President's Civil Rights Bill, the complete transcript of the
testimony will constitute a classic State paper covering t he
spectrum of American opinion in mid-century on the status
of the Negro in American life.
The task of weighing the ·pros and cons fell to the
Commerce Committee because the legal loophole t hrough
which the a dministration hopes
to drive a Federal law is that

to refuse to serve or to seat or to
accommodate anyone who enters
a store, a restau rant, a theatre,
or an hotel th at gets its fo od, its
furnish ings, or any other service
through inter-State commerce.
Hence the last-ditch resistance of
most of the Southern witnesses
on the grounds that such a law
would abolish or unconstitutionally restrict the right to
private property.
Since the heari ngs started, the
committee has heard from such
witnesses as the Rev. Martin
Luther Kin~, Attorney-General
Robert Kennedy, Secretary of
State Dean Rusk. the indignant
~vernor Wallace of Alabama
(" Is not the real purpose to
disarm this country as the Communists have planned?") , and
the learned Senator Sam Ervine,
of North Carolina, the famous
constitutional lawyer who call s
the Civil Rights Bill " as drastic
and indefensible a proposal as
has ever been submitted to this
Congress."

decisions as inevitable and as the
law of our land .. . .
"It has been a long, exhausting,
and often discouraging process,
and the end is far from beini in

volu ntarily, sometimes adroitly,
and many times clumsily, we have

" Gentlemen, If I had your problem, armed with the local e perlence I have had, I would pass a
public accommodation bill.
" Now is the time for legislative

We cannot look back over our

to the 1860s. We must take action
now to assure a greater future for
our citizens and our country.

mean " compulsion." The Mayor
replied : " It would con\pel the

Yes, that's compulsion.
Any
Federal law exercises some
compulsion ."
A Democrat of Michigan
j umped in to ask the Mayor if
he didn't think Atlanta's desegregation programme was " Communist inspired," a favourite
point of Senator Thurmond.
"Senator," said the Mayor,
" there are no more Communists
in Atlanta than there are on the
moon."

�VOICE OF EXPERIENCE
Mayor Allen Explains ·why He
Spoke On ·Civil Rights Bill
By PAT WATTERS
"We cannot dodge this issue ... We must take action
now to assure ·a greater futmre for our citizens and our
country."-Mayor Ivan Allen,
before the U.S. Senate Com mittee on Commerce.
NOT EVEN consic/ering its considerable political implications, Mayor Ivan Allen's endorsement of
the Kennedy
public accommodations legi s I a tion was
one of those
sort of surP rise news
stories of the
highest significance.
I was intrigued with the question of
why he did it.
In the past, he has not sounded
off to any great public extent
on the essentials of civil r ights,
sticking instead to specifics of
local situations. He was not one
of those on either side with
stock reactions easily predictable. His credentials in the bluechip community of business
<whose freedoms are supposed
to be so threatened by the legislation) are well known.
INFLUENCE
And his stand flew in the face
of a unanimity of virtually all
the rest of the state's political
leadership against the legislation.
!The importance of all these
factors on the influence of his
stand in the climate of public
opinion shouldn't be overlooked.
As a leadership and prestige
influence, they say to people
puzzled and troubled over the
measure that it is possible to
be for the historical imperatives and morality involved without being hounded as a hopeless idealist or Communist or
something.)
He didn't have to speak out.
His stand was bound not to sit
well with some. I finally went
over and asked him why he
did it.
In effect; he said e did because he was qua lified to. No
o t h e r political officials in
America, he pointed out, have
nad to face full-blast the practical job of the civil rights
revolution as have city officials
like himself. ( And not all city
officials either, he said-which
is true over most of Georgia.)
He is convinced from such experience, he said, that it is high
time, nine years after the
school ruling, that the federal
government help out with the
problems created by the mandates of the federal courts. This,
he said, is the "biggest social
problem in my lifetime," and
Congress needs to act as it fi.
nally had to in comparable social
upheavals of the past. He listed
as comparable child labor,
women's suffrage and the labor
struggle. ,
"The cduntry's in the biggest
mess it's ever been in, and Congress has not taken a single
step to help clarify things . . .
Congress can't expect local gov-
ernments to handle as difficult
a problem. as this . . . with no
help, no definitions, no support.
M's been damn unfair."
He cited ten recent desegregation steps Atlanta has made as
an example. (These were listed
in his statement to the committee, along with, incidentally, an
assessment of our achievements
and still-serious shortcomings
better than any I've ever seen,
, a portrayal of Atlanta to the
nation and world more honorable and in the real sense more
favorable than any in some
years.)
IN MIDDLE
In most of those ten steps,
Mayor Allen pointed out, he was
caught in the middle-aworking
for " logical agreements." His
point was that so much of it
shouldn't be on a mayor and
city officials, and that often to
the hurt of a city and the nation, officials duck out of such
responsibility. "You never please
many with anyi decision" in the
situation, he said.
His decision to speak, then,
and what he said came out of
the pragmatic knowledge of fir thand experience such as few
in America have of a situation
about which many ha\'e opinions. As such, what he said was
significant. His decision to say
it may be even more important
at this crucial midpoint in his
first political office-for what it
says of his character and his
concept of his responsibility.
Out of uch decisions come

Dear Sir:
I have just read an ac conJht of your testiainy

I especially applaud your contention that

wo efully wanting at the local and s tate levels,
due to their own abdication of their own responsibilities.
I suppose that in the next election demagogic

lose the election. However it may be, you may rest

Courage like yours is rare indeed. May~ the

be curst with less like Mr. Thurmond!

���������Atlanta's Mayor Speaks
On rare occasions the oratorical fog on
Capitol Hill is pierced by a voice resonant with
courage and dignity. Such a voice was heard
when Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. of Atlanta testified
before the Senate Commerce Committee in support of President Kennedy's bill to prohibit
racial discrimination in . stores, restaurants and
other public accommodations.
On the basis of the very substantial accomplishments that his city of a half-million, the
largest in the Southeast, has made in desegregating publicly owned and privately owned facilities, he might have come as a champion of
"states' rights" and of the ability of localities
to banish discrimination without Federal law.
Certainly, he would have had much more warrant to espouse that view than the Barretta, the
Wallaces and the other arch-segregationists
who raise the specter of Federal "usurpation"
as a device fo'r keeping Southern Negroes in
subjection.
But Mr. Allen was not i Washington to boast.
He was there to warn that even in cities like
Atlanta the progress that had been made might
be wiped out if Congresii turned its back on the
Kennedy proposal and thus gave implied endorsement to the concept that private businesses
were free to discriminate. He left behind this
charge to finish the job started with the Emancipation Proclamation a century ago: "Now the
elimination of segregation, which is slavery's
stepchild, is a challenge to all of us to make
every American free in fact as well as in theory
- and again to establish our nation as the true
champion of the free world."

Embassy Row
With increasing frequency, foreign governments represented in
Washington have been abandoning
their embassies in downtown commercial areas and moving out to
fashionable residential sections.
Not all Washington residents have
welcomed this trend. In the Chevy
Chase area, residents have banded
together against construction of a
new Soviet Embassy there-they
say it would cause "embassy
blight." And at Belmont Road,
N.W., the French, who want to
add office space to their embassy,
have had trouble with an influential neighbor-William Fulbright,
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
·To prevent further "blight," Mr.
Fulb1ight sponsored a bill in the
Senate to prohibit construction of
embassy offices in Washington residential ateas--embassy residences
would not be affected. Last week
the Senate passed the bill by voice
vote. Even if the bill is passed by
the House and signed by the President, work on the French Embassy
would not be stopped, since it is
already in progress. But construction of the Soviet Embassy could
be affected- it has been postponed
by a court injunction issued last
week, and would not get under way

t ion for the Advancement of
Colored People and adviser to
the N.A.A.C.P. Youth Council,
said today an appeal would be
made.
~udge Mathis said . the appeal
must be to the Circuit Court,
which sits in St. Augustine,
while Dr. Hayl ing is trying to
appeal to the Disttjct Appellate
Court of Tall_a hassee, the capital
of Florida.
Dr. Hayling said presentation
of the appeal had been delayed
until this point is cleared up.
Meanwhile, picketing by members of the N .A.A.C.P. Youth
Council, which started several
weeks ago, continued today
against the segregated lunch
counters of W oolworth's, McCrory's and the Service Drug
St ore in midtown St. Augustine.
Three to five pickets were
placed at each establishment
carrying signs protesting discrimination. Woolworth's is rem o'Ving its · lunch. counters.
All p ickets are over 17 years
of age. J uveniles have not participated since Judge Mathis
issued. & directive last week forbidding them t o picket.
N o arrests were made last
Tuesday when 150 Negroes
gathered at the County Jail to
protest the holding of the four
teen-agers. The following day,
however, five juveniles wer e
arrested in a car parked near
the jail. They were a ccused of
a ttempting to incite prisoners
11,nd turned over t o the custody
of their parents.
Under a Federal Court order
Bt. Augustine will desegregate
some schools next Sept. 1.
The applications of a number
of Negro children fo r entry
tnto white schools have already
been. approved, city officials
aaid. Schools and recreational
fac ilities here have always been
1eg:-egated, but there is no city
c,rd\nance providing for segr egation.

,ld, l,;t;:'O::, .
In attacking
the specifi c
pr oblems, we a ccepted the
basic truth that the solutions
which we sought to achieve
in every instance granted to ,
our Negro citizens rights
which white American citizens and businesses previously had reserved to themselves
as special privileges.
These speeial privileges
long had been propped up by
a multitude of local ordinances and statewide laws
which had upheld racial segr egation in almost ever y conceivable form.
In Atlanta we had plenty
of these props of prejudice to
contend with when we set out
to solve our specific problems
of discrimination. In attacking these problems, I want to
emphasize that in not one
single instance have we retained or enhanced the privileges of segregation.
'A Long Process'
It has been a long, exhausting and often discouraging
process and the end is far
from being in sight.
Atlanta has achieved only
a measure of success. I think
it would assist y ou in understanding this if I explained
how limited so far has been
this transition from the old
segregated society of g enera tions past, and also how limited so far has been the participat ion of the Negro
citizens.
Significant as is the voluntary elimina tion of discrimination in our leading restauran ts, it affects so far only
a small percen tage ?f the
hundreds of eating places in
our city.
And participation by Negroes so far has been very
slight. For example, one of
Atlanta's t opmost r estaurants
served only 16 out of Atlanta's 200,000 Negro citizens
during the first week of freedom from discrimination.
The plan for eliminating
discrimination in hotels as
y et takes care only ot convention delegates. Although
prominent Negroes have been
accept ed as guests in si•,eral
Atlanta hotels, the Negro
citizens as a whole sddom
appear a t Atlanta ho tels .
Underlying all the i>motions of the situation i$ the
matter of economics. It
should be remembere4 that
the right to use a facility
does not mean that it will be
used or misused by any
group, especially the g1•oups
in the lower economic: :tatus.
Now I would like t o submit my personal reaso11s why
I think Atlanta has resolved
some of these problems, ·vhile
in other cities solutions have
seemed impossible and strife
and conflict have resu lted.
As an illustration, I would
like to describe a recen t visit
of an official delegation from
a great E astern city which
has a Neg ro population of
over 600,000 consisting of in
excess of 20 per cent of its
whole population.
The members of this dele-
l.iOUrL n.,w1ngs \..I U,t:; U
I do not believe that any
sincere American citizen desires to see the rights of private business r estricted by
the F ederal Government unless such restriction is absolutely necessary for the welfare of the people of this
country.
On the other h and, following the line of thought of
the decisions of the Federal
courts in the past 15 years,
I am not convinced that curren t rulings of the courts
would g-ra nt to American
b-..isiness the privilege of discrimination by r ace in the
selection of its customers.
Here again we get into the
area of what is right and
what is best for the people
of this country, If the privilege of selection based on
. race and ·color should be
iranted, then would we be
giving to business the right
to set -up a. segregated economy? And if so, how . !ast
would this right be utilized.
by· the nation's people? And
how soon would we again be
going thro!lgh the. old turmoil of riots strife, demonstrations, boycotts, picketing ?
Are we going to say that it
ts all right for the Negro
citizen to go into the bank
on Main Street and to deposit his earnings or borrow
money then to go to department stores to buy what he
n eeds, to go to the superm arket to purchase food for
his family, and so on along
Main Street until he comes
t o a r est aurant or a hotelin all these other business
places he 1s treat ed just like
any other customer - but
when he comes to the restaurant or the hotel, are we
going to say t hat it is right
and legal for the opera tors of
t hese businesses, merely as a
matter of convenience, to insist that the Negro's citizenship be ch anged and that, as
a second-class citizen, he is
to be r efused service?
I submit that it is not right
to allow an American's citizenship t o be ch anged merely
as a matter of convenience.
If the Congress should fail
to clarify the issue at the
present time, then by inference it would be saying that
you could begin cliscrimination under the guise of private business. I do not believe
that this is what the Supreme
Court has intended with it$
decisions. I do not believe
that this is the intent of Congress or of the people of this
country.
I am not a lawyer, Senators.
I am not sure I clearly understand all of the testimony
involving va rious amendments to the Constitution and
t he Commerce Clause which
has been given to this committee. I have a fundamental
resper.t f or the Constitution
of the United States. Under
t his Constitution we have al•
ways been able to do what
is best for all of the people
of this country. I beg of you
not to let this Issue of discrimination drown in legalis·
tic waters. I am firmly con-
1ra11ure oy 1..,on1,re;, s cu
t ake definite action a t th is
t ime is by infer ence an endorsement of t he r ight of
private business t o pr acti~e
r acial discrimina tion and, m
my opinion, would start the
same old round of squa1'bles
and demonstrations that we
have h ad ,t11 the past.
Gentlemen, if I h ad your
problem, armed with the local experience I h ave had, I
would pass a public acco1;1modation bill. Such a bill,
however, should provide an
opportunity for each Ioc~l
e-ovem ment first to meet th is
problem a.nd attempt t o solye
it on a local. voluntar y ba~1s,
with each business makmg
its own decision.
Reasonable Time Asked
I think a public accommodation law now should stand
only as the last resort to
assure that discrimination is
eliminated, but that such a
law would grant a rea~onable
time for cities and businesses
to carry out this function before Federal intervention.
It might even be necessary
that the time fa ctor be made
more lenient in favor of smaller cities and communities, for
we all know that large metropolitan areas have the capability of a djusting to changes
more rapidly than smaller
communities.
Perhaps this, too, should be
given considera tion in . your
legislation. But the pomt I
want to emphasize again is
that now is the time for
legislative action. We cannot
dodge the issue. We cannot
Joolc back over our shoulders
or turn the clock back to
the eighteen-sixties. We must
t ake action now to assure a
greater fu t ure for our citizens and our country.
A hundred years ago the
abolishment of slavery Won
the United States the acclain-t
of the whole wor ld when it
made every American free in
theory.
Now t he elimination of seg.
regation, which is slavery• 5
stepchild is a chalJenge t o an
of us to make every American
free in fact as well as in
t heory-and again to establish
our nation as the true charn.

"As long as I am chairman,"

The audience broke into applause, Mr. Thurmond asked
the chairman why he did not

"I can't stop it after it happene_d.," Mr. Pastore said with
a,grm.
Mr. Thurmond has contended
that the integration movement
IS "Communist-controlled."
Senator Philip A. Hart,

"There are no more Communists in Atlanta than there are

South Carolinian Heard
Later Gov. Donald Russell of
south Carolina opposed the bill
as unconstitutional. Taking the
opposite line from Mr. Allen,
the Governor argued that progress could be made only by
voluntary local action and that
a Federal law "will breed resistanc_e and perhaps violence."

Dear Mr. Allen
I have just read in the New York Times excerpts from your
t e stimony before the Civil Rights h earing in Washington and,
as a former resident of Atlanta, I hasten to congratulate you
on your stand. It takes a lot of "inte stinal fortitude" for a
Ge orgian to speak out as you have , particularly one in politics.
I knew your father in 1910 and 1911 b ecaus e I d eliver ed him
every week a Saturday Evening Post when the store was at
Marietta and Forsyth Streets.
I moved here from Atlanta in 1920. You no doubt know we
have a plant in Atlanta and have had for many years. Wh n
I am next there, I will try to come by to see you.
The City of Atlanta is indeed fortunate in having men like you,
Ralph McGill, and your pr edecessor, Mr. Hartsfield.
As you stated, Dallas and .Atlanta have accomplished many
things but we must be careful we don' t lose some of these
gains but continue to work with interested parties to improve
the situation wherever possible.
Sincerely yours

Dear Ivan:
May I congratul a te you on your clear and courageous statement last week before the Senate Commerce
Committee? The progress which Atlanta has made in
this difficult problem is heartening to the entire
nation, and your plea to the Congress for realism
sounds just like the realistic chairman we had the
pleasure of serving in the NSOEA Survey Committee.
Since our NSOEA study we here have made an even
more extensive study for NSSEA, the National School
Supply and Equipment Ass oci ati on. The enclosed letter
from NSSEA indicates the fine reception given to our
Report -- and their Board and Executive Committee are
taking active steps of implementation of each of the
122 Recommendations the Report contained.
If ever an opp ortunity exists to serve you in any
aspect of your busy life -- public or business -- it
would be a privilege and a pleasure.
With great respect, and very sincerely

be only a short step forward. But they represent an important step, and a s t ,ep we should
take now.

Dear Mayor Allen:
I read in the July 27 issue of the NEW Y RK TIMES
of your appeal to Congress to pass the President's
Civil Rights bill.
I wish to congratulate you on your stand and to let you
know that many of us "northerners" share the view that
when equality before the law becomes a reality the Negro Is best friend will be found belo w the Mason-Dixon
line.
I particularly liked your expressed views on the
Supreme Court. I, too, have a schoolgirl's reverence
for the Court and believe that in our present civil
rights struggles legislation must lead the way for
the expanding heart and the opening mind.
Kno wing full well ho w your hands must be filled with
the exigencies of your high office, nevertheless I am
brash enough to hope that perhap s I may have the
pleasure of hearing from you sometime in the future.
Again I salute you. When that happy dawn breaks when
racial strife in the United States will be a thing of
the past, you and your worthy neighbor Ralph McGill , can
well bask in the ensuing sunshine.
Sincerely,
Marye Myes

My dear Mr. Allen;
May I take this opportunity to congratulate you for your
forthright testimony before the Commerce Committee of United States
Senate in Washington n.c.,recently and the f ine words spoken in behalf
of the local Negro and white leadership in attempting to solve our
manifold problems .
We know that it took courage of the hignest order to speak
out as you did and one of the syndicated columists said that Mayor Al_len Jr.,of Atlanta broke the patteDm1of southern antagonism to Pres ident
Kennedy ' s civil rights program Friday by urging Congress to outlaw racial
dis~~nation in restaurants , hotels , and other private businesses."
Further· as a city we have made much progress under your administration as M,yor of all of the people of greater Atlanta , and before the
end of your regime ,we are confident of making further gains as a cosmopolitan center .
I n reviewing the results of the mayoralty ra.ce,we were pleased
to note that our Seventh Ward gave you a total of II,235 votes,and the
city-wide total of votes for your candidacy was 64,227 votes . ·
Please accept this note as a token o~ our appr eciation,and
again may I say, -"Thank you Mr . Mayor", for your fine support of the
public accommodatimns section of the Civil Rights Bill now before
The Congress.
We beg to remain

Dear Mr. Allen:
Your testimony in behalf of the pending civil rights legislation
deserves a note of audible support from all those who share your
viewpoint. It is with distinct pleasure that I applaud your
statement . Your courage and willingness to face the outcry of
many is to be commended.
It has been said that all that is needed for evil to take over
is that good men do nothing. I think your stand for what you believe is right is one of the most encouraging signs i n our nation.
May I share my view in brief? I fear many are losing s ight of
the forest because of the trees . Debate is being turned away f rom
the basic question of whether Negroes will be given ful l rights
as citizens to a side issue on property . It is good to have a
public discussion on property because t here are some genuine
reasons for i t , but unf ortunately in t he present context it is
mostly a red herring.
It is being said t hat a man 1 s business property is like his home .
Only in a sense is t hat true. Business property depends on t he
communit y for survival. Conversely t he community depends upon t he
business proper t y for i t s survival. Business property and the
community are i nter dependent.
Recognizing t his fact the government already regulates businesses
/ and their clientel e. For examples: A liquor store owner cannot
sell t o mi nor s ; zoning laws will not allow unrestrict ed business
pr operties , nor will i t permit hodge-podge expansion . Along the
same line the government even s ei zes properties by expropriation
through the power of eminent domain when the publ ic 1 s interest
dictates it . Therefore I see not hing of the government overstepping its bounds if it chooses to pass the public accommodations
law.
My best wishes to you. My fel l ow worker, Miss Frances Furlow
said she wants to add an 11amen 11 to what you said in . Washington!

Dear Mr. Mayor:
This is a fan letter.
I have just read the newspaper account of your speech to the Senate
Committee, and I just have to write and tell you how proud I was and
am that you are our Mayor.
That speech was one of the greatest appeals to reason that I have
ever read. I am sure that many of Atlanta's citizens feel the same
way. Right now we need all the forsight and reason we can get to
deal with things as they are, so we are lucky to have you in the
Mayor's office.
I admi t that when I first learned that you were the next elected Mayor,
my first feeling was relief that it wasnt going to be Lester Maddox.
I was deathly afraid h e was going to be elected , and having known him
and his views for many years, I saw citizens of Atlanta shooting at each
other in the streets.
Since you have been our Mayor I have been more and more impressed with
what I can only call your plain good sense. You have more courage than
I have. I have hated segregation all my life, but have said nothing that
would call down criticism and unpleasantness on myself. I know this is
moral cowardice, and confess it, but I just like to get along with people.
I saw you on television, and hearing you in the Committee room and knowing
the whole country was hearing you, I swelled with pride fit to burst .
That row between Senator Pastore and Senator Thurmond tickled me to death .
I am just a city Clerk-Typist at the Water Works, but I wanted you to know
that I am one white citizen that feels as you do.
I'm proud of you Mr. Mayor.
I mean it.
Sincerely and respectfully,
,m ~Lc~~

Your testimony before the Senate Commerce Committee

Your forthright stand and clear logic gives real
encouragement to all who wish to see all Americans enjoying those basic political and humanrights that most

Dear Mr . Allen :
How p roud I was to be a citi zen of Atl anta when I read your presentati on to President Kennedy's Committee on Civil Ri ghts!
There a r e many of us who feel that whenever the rights and
privileges of any one group of people are denied, the right s of others
are in jeopardy.
We believe that when a business is 11 open to the public " , it
should mean all the public, not just "white public", Protestant public ",
et cetera .
It is certai nly connnendable when local connnunities desegregate
voluntarily, as Atlanta has done in some instances . However, this Federal
action seems necessary to enable all to move forward in this regard.
The Young Women's Christian Association, of which I am President
in Atlanta, has long been working to help build an appreciation of the
dignity and human rights of all people, regardless of race, creed, or
color .
We admire your courage and will continue to support your
efforts in behalf of our city.

fine stand on Civil Rights taken in Washington last week. I just
returned from a trip to Europe and my secretary had your statement on my desk, Although I feel that there must be many changes in the public accommodations law as it is presently written
in order to preserve our democratic rights and ideals, I feel that
your statement generally was a courageous and just one and I want
to compliment you upon having made it for the people of our City.
You know that I am most pleased to try to cooperate

Cormnittee, I s hould like to express my gratitude and admiration for your
courageous and reasonable stand on the elimination of discrimination from
public acconnnodations. I devoutly hope that mayors in o ther cities, in the
Nor th as well as in the South, will be guided by your example.
I wish you well in your work, Mr. Mayor, and I trust that this brief note
of appreciation will help to counterbalance the bitter criticism your
statement is bound to elicit.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mayor Alam
It was w1 th a great deal of interest · and pride that I
read of the testimony which you delivered in support
of the President's civil rights package.
I was bom and raised in the South -- Atlanta and
south Texas - and am only temporarily absented while
I am doing my doctorate. I have become of late quite
sensitive to the crying lack of moral leadership which
seems so prevalent in certain of the southern states.
I think that there does exist a sizeable group of
intelligent leaders who are willing to assess this
problem and its consequences in long range tenns.
However, up to now, it almost seems as it this group,
if they do in fact exist, have abdicated their responsibility.
Your actions in the past, and your verbal affinnation of this policy last week, have renewed my belief
that "the intelligent southerner", forthright in expression, does exist.

Sir:
I am very glad that you testified as you did before the
Commerce Committee in Washington last week.
I am not willing to concede that your testimony in
Washington means political suicide. It may be the very thing
that will put you over in case you see fit to run for office
again. There are many white people in Atlanta who know that
you did right but do not have the courage to say so now. I
believe it will be different two years fran now.
Then too the atmosphere will have so changed in the nation
and in Atlanta by 1965 that you will find your statement there
all to the good.
With kindest regards and best wishes, I am
Very twly yours,

Dear Mayor Allen:
It was with great pleasure and
pride that I read your eloquent testimony before the Commerce Committee of the United States
Senate earlier this summer. I was in New York
at the time and I was happy to show my friends
there the issue of the New York Times which
carried the story, and to let them know the
kind of leadership we have here in Atlanta.
Despite occasional lapses and embarrassing set backs, all of which you wisely acknowledged,
Atlanta is showing the South and the nation
that orderly change is being effected. With the
same kind of leadership, it can also be done in
other places in the nation.
I hope the young men from Bowdoin and
Williams Colleges, whom you graciously received
when they visited Morehouse last spring, will
read your statement. It was a forthright and
courageous document that did not attempt to
cover up what still must be done in our city.
Because of it, your personal and political
prestige have enhanced the good image of
Atlanta.

It goes
somethi ng like this :
"Stand firm, my son, when you're right .
Stand the Gaff .
The worl d seems ready to jeer you .

There are those who give thought ,
Some have vision short .
Whose a ctions and mouthings make you snort.
Stand the Gaff!
"Tho many may jeer and make sport of your plight,
There ' ll be many more who will see the light .
So, when the time come s before you to be or
seem right,
Then, to Hell with appearances,
STAND UP AND FIGHT !!!
Honestly, I am so proud of you . I am proud I have been shoulder
to shoulder to a mon ,rho has the intest ina l fortitude to speak

There will be many who will criticise. Many may even try to
vilify you for your speech. Thank God, there will be many more
who will stand with you. I know I will .
