Glad Mr. Allen Is Atlanta’s Mayor
Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. last
week became the first southern public
official to testify in behalf of the Ken-
nedy administration’s prize package of
civil rights legislation, particularly for
the so-called elimination 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 testimony in
Washington last Friday can be viewed
in that light as far as judging its im-
partiality.
Mr, Allen expressed the fear that
without Congressional action, “cities
like Atlanta might slip backward.” In
essence, that without the compulsion
of federal law, individuals might pre-
sume to make individual choice in their
associations and the disposition of their
property and services,
At no point in his rather lengthy dis-
sertation to the Senate Commerce Com-
mittee does Mr. Allen deplore danger-
