1733 B.North Decatur Road Atlanta,Ga.30307 March 6,1,67 Mayor Ivan Allen City of Atlanta,Georgia City Hall Atlanta,Ga. Dear Mr.Mayor:With reference to President Johnscf>n's new Civil Rights message to the Congres s you are rep6ted in. the pre!s as having sent him a telegram nr pledge you my full support for the program and the leg1~lat1Te propoBala, and I am glad to furnish whatever help I may be in seeing that it 18 passed etc". The President on his Pedernalea ranch and appendages (some 15,000 acres) is assure4 of s~elter from the provisions of the proposed legislation. State parks are being developed to further protect his priTacy. When he goes to Austin he probably meets his friend!: in exelus1Te clubs. You too probably li~e in a non-integrated neighborhood nd I doubt that your neighbor• would welcome an integrated apartment house. I am certain that neither the Capital City club nor the Piedmont Driving club would approTe 1our proposing ·a.nd mponsor1ng negro members. Just how would •open housi:m.g• affect your social contacts or the education of your grandeh1ld.ren? You and the Pres1ient, because of your financial resources can enjoy the immunities you seek to deny to the great middle elasm. We too have standards. Not mal'l.Y social workers have the honesty to do as Rector Black (a white Harvard graduate~ who, with hie family, lives in Vine City among the people he seeks to help. Polities mot only kes for atre.nge bedfellows as witRess tke President's voting record as a senator, but 1t alao breeds hypocr11y. �
