DR. CHARLES EBERHART DR. J. W. MORGAN SUIT E 570 • C 490 PEACHTREE STREET, N, E. ATLAN T A. GEORGIA 30308 TELE P HO N E 525-5567 September 17, 1966 Ivan Al len, Jr., Mayor City of Atlant a City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear 1ayor Al l en : The members of this office and myself want to commend you for the wonderful leadership shown during the recent mob violence activities in Atl anta. That positive non-violent reaction stops them in their tracks and we hope you can continue to be successful with this technique. Prior to the recent disturbance I had 1vri tten you a letter concerning the fire man 's walkout, which should be a cause for concern for all citizens. It sickens me to see the fe deral government drain off off our tax money and waste it on poverty programs and other senseless activity while our public servant$, f iremen, school teachers, policemen and municipal en11;,loyees remain underpaid. One cannot expect talented, responsible people to work f or low income. I favor increasing local taxes so that this money does not reach the federal government who spends it so irresponsibly. If t his trend is not corrected, I fear it will give the federal government excuse to interfere with all activities down to the connnunity level. We of t he medical profession are beginning to feel the liberty chilling influence of the federal gureaucracy since insection of medicare since July 1, 1966. Sincerely, Charles Eberhart , M.D. CE:ak �
