Garner-Howard Smith-Harry Byrd-John McClellan congressional Democrats; and the Allen Treadway*-Robert Taft-Charles Halleck congressional Republicans." These are not mere party wings, claims Burns; their differences are institutional and ideological. The power fulcrum of the presidential parties is the national convention , where they dominate rankand-file delegates. "The Robert T afts and the Lyndon Johnsons usually do not win at Chicago or Philadelphia. " The Electoral College compels the presidential parties to "cater to the urban masses and their liberal dogmas ." For leadership, they draw from the ranks of big-city lawyers, Eastern fin ancial executives, academicians ( Republican examples: Elihu Root , Henry Stimson , John Foster Dulles, Douglas Dillon ) . These parties are generall y internationalist , favor activist government, are concerned with broad " way-of-life" issues . . The congressional parties, on the other hand , use their control of legislative machinery to block the presidential parties. They draw their leadership from the small towns, concentrate mainly on breadand-butter economic issues. Many Congressmen are from districts with little competition ( Burns contends that a mere 125 of the 435 House districts are even reasonably competitive ), gain powerful seniority advantages over Congressm~n from swing districts who ideologically incline towa rd the presidential parties. Among Democrats cited by Burns as presidential _party members: New York's Emanuel Celler, Rhode I sland 's John Fogarty, California's Chet Holifield ; among Republicans: New Jersey's Senator Clifford Case and New Yo rk's Senator J acob Javi ts. John Kennedy, says Burns , shifted to the presidential pa rty while still in the Senate. Tantalizing Question. The res ulting deadlock , writes Burns, can and should be broken-by helping the presidential parties swallow their· congressional counterparts. To bring this about, he urges elimination of the seniority system in Congress , reapportionm ent of gerrymandered districts,t uniform elec tion laws for the Senate , House and presidency , mass dues-paying memberships for the parties. "It is better that a lot of people give a little money than that a few give a lot. " The rewards for such reorganization of the parties, Burns a rgues, would be

"The great task of the presidential party is to forge a new majo rity organized down to the wards and precincts , towns and villages and effective in Congress as well as in the executive branch. Whether this task will be accomplished by the presidential Democrats under John F. Kennedy, or by the president ial Republicans under someone like Rockefeller, is one of the tantalizing questions of the future ." Tantalizing it certainly is. But is it reali stic? After all , one of Burns's favorites, Franklin Roosevelt , tried hard to swallow up the Democratic congressional party-and got bloodied up m the a ttempt. tantalizingly close to a white neighborhood called Cascade Heights, where homes range from $20,000 to a few at $50,000. Block-Busting. Both Negroes and whites acted badly in the events that led up to the barrier between Collier Heights and Cascade H eights. Negro real estate brokers used block-busting techniques to try to buy homes in the Pey ton-Utoy subdivision of Cascade Heights . They falsely told white residents that their neighbors had put their homes up for sale and conspicuously drove Negro clients through the area on Sunday to frighten white owners. A white real estate man th.reatened to sell his home and some lots to Negroes in order to get a higher price from white buyers in the area ; he actually ended up signing contracts with both a white owners' group and a Negro .

ATLA N TA ' S WALL THE SOUTH Divided City It was in Berlin that the tragic and dramatic lesson of what happens to a divided city came home to m e, and if I could make you see it as I saw it, you would share with m e my feeling that Atlant a must not be a city divided . In his inaugural speech last yea r, Atlanta's Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. thus warned his fe llow citizens of the effects of the Berlin Wall , which he had recently viewed. But las t wee k Atlanta itself was di vided by a pair of 2-ft.-10-in .-high steel-andwood barri cades set up by the city to prevent Negroes from mo ving into a white neighbo rh ood . Atlanta 's white-Negro relationships have Jong been considered among the best in the South. But the city's 200,960 Negroes (39 .9 % of the population ) a re hard pressed for Jiving room. They live on 24 .6 % of the total land zoned for residential purposes, are largely confi ned to a black belt running north west to southeast through the heart of the city . In this belt, one of the best districts is Collier Heights, in north west Atlanta. The main trouble with Collier Heights is that it is Jul y, it has been impossible to sell a house in Peyton-Utoy to a white buyer, and white owners we re panicked by the threat to their property values. Virgil Copeland , president of the Southwest Citizens Association , a group of homeo wners in Cascade Heights, finally went to Mayor Allen and suggested closing off two roads that run between the N egro and white areas to prevent encroachments by Negroes and act as a psychological stimulant to white buyers. Allen called in Negro leaders to discuss the possibility of erecting barriers. In return, the city would rezone 250 ac res for Negro residential use. Understandably , the Negroes protested. Into Court. Mayor Allen turned the matte r ove r to the board of aldermen, which voted to erec t the barriers. At 7 the fo llowing morning , workmen were on P eyton and H arlan roads driving I beams into the pavement. The Negroes of Atla nta, represented by a new All-Citizens Committee composed of most Negro organizations in the city, refused to deal with the city un til the barriers come down. Negroes have lost one su it in court to have the ba rri ers torn down , but a further test is pending before superior court in Atlanta . Last week the board of aldermen considered a resolution to remove the barriers-and voted it down IO to 3.

· SEqREGAT ION Social Consciousness-Peyto Road? Empire Real ·Estate Boards Stands Firm The entire free world has assailed the "Wall" built by the Russians and Communists of East Berlin along the East and West Berlin border. Shortly after Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen was elected mayor of our city, primarily due to the crucial Negro vote , he visited Berlin. Mr. A llen condemned the "Berlin Wall." Now just a year after the Mayor's election, a proposal was pre sented by the Board of Aldermen attributed to Mayor Allen and others which brings a "Berlin Wall" to Atlanta, as they attempt to close or "Wall-in" several c ity streets. The proposa l to close these streets (Peyton and Harland) is a vicious scheme to provide a "buffer" in an effort to block the expans ion of the Negro community. The Negro community which is already nearly "strangled" from the point of land holdings by various schemes arid "gentlemen agreements," Negroes comprise 39%of Atlanta's population, .but ho ld only 16% of the land. The Empire Real Estate, one of the most effective organization in the Negro community has taken the lead in fighting this proposal. We recognize the special business and commercial interest of the real estate group. However. we feel that the Empire Real Estate Board is rendering at the same time a valuable service in protecting the basic rights of the entire Negro comm unity. We strongly support the action of the Empire Real Estate Board in this controversy. We urge all citizens to get behind this fight, and if possible attend the public hearing scheduled for December 13, 1962. we t.htn\< Ulat Mayor Allen is potentially a great mayor, dedicated primarily to leading Atlanta to greater heights in commerce and culture. It appears that Mayor Allen is being poorly advised on issues of direct importance to the Negr:o community, and he is treading "demagogue road." Many forget thattheU.S. Supreme Court outlawed "restricted covenants " many years before the 1954 School Decision. American citizens of Peyton Road have negotiated contracts to sell their property to other U.S. citizens. We cannot "stomach" a physical "wal:l" used to restrict our housing expansion. The tactics of Governor Barnett of Mississippi and his band are raw and unsophisticated. Negroes in Mississippi do not have the ballot. The tactics of Mayor Allen and his Peyton Road band are sophisticated, but "the tunes we hear are the same." Atlanta is suppose to be a progressive city with an enlightened. Negro community. If these streets are. closed more streets will be closed. More doors will be closed to our youth. Too many streets and doors of opportunity are closed to us already. We stand firmly against the "buffer" scheme and call for the withdrawal of the proposal which if approved would be a serious step backward for Atlanta as well as the Negro community. 60 / Woging A Battle F.or Full Rights W ON'·T LET From The Michigan Chronicle This challenge, being made to the AFL-CIO leadership, c an have Ear-reachmg affects, The lea~e~ship h.as carefully evaluated its positio.n and weighed all the consequences.

This week the organization brought Associate White Hous e P res s Secretary, Andrew Hatcher, to Atlanta to address the 1962 Annual Meeting Of the Council. Mr Hatcher's appear ance s er ved as an ins piration to those who heard him and as a recognitfon of the 1 importance of the work of such organization as the Council in improving hum an relations among Americans. The Greate r A tlanta Council on Human Relations has operated in the fie lds of E mployment, Education, Public F acilities, Rec r e ation, Arts , Churches and in general has given support to all efforts to open more doors to all the Citizens of Al anta. T ypical of its pr ogram is its wor k with the Negro trans fer s tudents. Last year individ.u al me mbers of The Counc il ke pt in close touch with the nine students. This year, e ven though the number of transfer students increased to forty-one , The Council practically alone among community groups has continued its effor ts to provide friends hip, encouragement and s uppor t to these students and their families. Individual arrangements for tutoring have been made for those students who r equested such help. Council representat ives by visiting s c hools and visiting in the homes of · the stude nts have gained an ins ight into the process of school des egr egation in terms of the individuals involved which will be he lpful in the future. C:uch activities are be st done outside the spot- light of publ1·ci·ty, but they should be noted as part of the recor d of the community. Another specific effort should be noted and that is The Council' s · inf ormation · · · . part in prov1·d mg and f ocusmg community attention on the operation of Grady Hospit · l and the Fulton-DeKalb Ho"'pit al " Authority.

The AFL-CIO, which has spoken so strongly in fa vor of full citizenship r ights and which has depended so greatly on the support of its Negro membership, must come to r ecognize this.

The Civil Defense Educational Classes should be attended by at least one adult for each family. If one is to m ake any attempt at survival, one must be instructed what to do, when to do it and how to do it. The development of intercontinental missiles with theromonuclear warheads has forced strategic planning for the protection of all human beings. Could you qualify for an Award, "Home Preparedness?" if one was given for answers to the following questions? Could you answer by saying "I MERIT A CIVIL DEFENSE HOME PREPAREDNESS AWARD BECAUSE I - 1. Know the warning signals and what they mean. 2. Know my community plan for emergency action. 3. Have selected our family shelter. 4. Have plans for emergency cooking. 5. Have plans for emergency heating and lighting. 6. Know what todo about r adioactive, fallout, 7. Have 2 weeks' supply of food and wate r. 8. And prepared to purify unsafe water. 9. Have a radio which does not depend upon a commercial source of power. If you c an put a check m ark after all of these conditions, then you and yours have a chance to survive and the " HOME PREP A R E D N E S S AWA RD" SHOULD BE YOURS. If you have done NCYnlING toward preparedness 1n this nuclear age - YOU SHOULD. IT CAN HAPPEN HERE - ANY TIME ANY DAY. As we all know, P r esident Kennedy assigned respons ibility for civil defense to the Department of Defense by Executive Order No. 10952, dated July 20, 196L This ass ignment has r esulted in the preparation of hundreds of qua1*{ied school teachers to instruct classes dealing with ever y phase of P ERSONAL PREP ARDNESS IN THE NUCLEAR AGE. Contact your school principal; he will give you inform atlon pertaining to at;DClas s at his school. If enough adults inquire, be will provide you with class space and a teacher. Thes e classes are organized through the State Department of Education. They can be held two nights per week for three weeks , or once per week for s w Appearing each week through this column will be published important CD Educational news items on the need for preparation for civil defense, which is likely to be with us for a long time, and we must suppress the temptation to reach out hastily for short-term solutions. One of the booklets circulated · by the Department of .Defense reads "There is no panacea for protection from nuclear attack •. In a major attack upon our country, millions of people would be killed. There appears to be no practical program that would avoid large-scale loss of life. But an effective program of civil defense could save the lives of millions who would not otherwise Survive. Fallout shelters and· related preparations, for example, could greatly reduce the number of .casu2alties." President Kennedy, speaking on July 25, 1961, put it this way: "In the event of attack, the lives of those families which are not hit in the nuclear blast and fire can still be saved if they can be warned to take shelter and if that shelter ls available. We owe that kind of insurance to our families and to our country." The P r e sident was talking about shelter from r adio lkttve fallout. The blast, heat, and fire of a nuclear explosion are apa llingly destructive. But radioactive fallout could spr ead ove,- thousands of square miles, covering a much gre ate r area than the area endangered by fire and blast. Fallout would be a pote ntial killer of millions of unprotected per sons, but it also is a hazard that individuals and c ommunities can prepare for through reasonable pr ograms and actions. A fall out shelte r pr ogram is one of these. T he writer of thiscolumnhas new CD classes s tarting F riday Nove mber 29, 7 P .M. to 9 P .M. at the Lena J. CampbellSchool, Dr. Earl A.

Teach me subtle ways to resist despair, to master my passions, to heal unworthy weakness; the rare medicine of Thy presence is for me too, as well as for the cloistered monk or meditating scholar. Teach me' · the satisfaction of virtue, the inner rewards of loyalty, helpfulness, and self-control. Reveal to me thy lovable nature, and may I touch the infinite and share the divine current that thrills all high souls. Save me from the bogs of pettiness, from egotism, self-pity, envy, and all the corrosives that mar life. We humbly thank Thee that the river of God flows through the streets of the city and whosoever will may come, drink of the water of life and _be saved. ~MODV �the cause of the fellowship. It is the common faith of the believers that is at 'the heart of the fellowship, The church then is the fellowship of those who are concerned about the great ideals for which Jesus U'ted, died and rose to promote, The church of course ls not a building but a living expanding body of believers in the LQrdship of Jesus Christ. The word community is often used in this-connection. It is a community of God seeking to make the world God's community. It is a community witnessing ·t o the fact that God in Christ did somethin.!_ . walls· of separation, Therefore we cannot have segregation in a fellowship of believers in one God, one Saviour and one Holy Spirit. The believers must have one fellowship in which the spirn: o"f love end good~Ul must freely flow from heart to heart and from mind to mind. On this point. Dr. M. W. Johnson, former President of Howard University once said: ·"The segregated; church is dead.•• The existence of one God kills it." The Bible therefore speaks to our times, calling for a community of Kindred minds against which no barriers can stand.

The mother took her to Grady Hospital where it was detected that she had given birth .to an infant.

Adding to Mrs. Robinson's troubles is the facts that she is a Diabetic and lost her mother through death a week ago. She states that her every moment is spent caring for her own child- ren plus the two children of her jailed daughter who is unmarried. Mrs. Robinson told the Inquirer that she does not know what will happen to her daughter as she doesn't know "where to turn" and has no money to obtain legal defense for her daughter. Many neighbors agree with Mrs. Robinson that Mable did not intentionally kill her baby.

Four very noteworthy events are on the calendar fort his period. Probably one of the least liked but nonetheless most important happenings at the present time is semester final exams. The semester finals determine what progress a student is making in each of his subjects. The testings will be conducted on Thursday, Friday , and Monday, January 10th, 11th, and 14th. Next of all, January hails the start of regular season basketball competition. The Panther Varsity Cagers having taken a win only from Roosevelt are really hustling. The Pantherenes are presently showing everybody that the Red n' Black knows how to do it. After romping Lakeshore and then dropping one to College Park, they bounced back to gun down Grady, Fulton, Bass, and North Fulton. Also included for sometime in middle January will be the annual language fair. This spotlights bits of culture from many different countries. All three foreign languages taught at Therrell plus English will be showcased at the fair.

" As of April I, the record showed 30 traffic deaths as compared with 13 in the same period of 1961. But in the last eight months Atlanta had 11 fewer fatalities, 244 fewer injuries and 205 fewer property dama ge accidents than in the s ame period of 1961 .

But in "The Losers " Rosemary plays a farmgirl who has never known love because she thinks the scar on her face makes her repulsive to men. The scar, which was built" onto her face , is made of glue, rubber and -grease paint, One night during the filming of the comedy-drama she went home without removing her makeup, and when the kids spotted the ':lcar they thought it was great.

"JANUARY 1963 -- ROUNDTABLE" One of our Scouting resoli.i:.. tions for the New Year should be to resolve to attend each monthly roundtable. We can't give our Units the best program if we don(t get the program ourselves. A good many Scouters, both volunteer and professional, give of their time and talent to provide our programs and to interpret these programs through the roundtable. Let's show our appreciation and loyalty by attending our round tables each· month, "1910 to 1963" THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY brings SCOUT BIR1HDAY week. What is your unit going to do about it? Some Units have an annual affair of some kind, some have a Family Nite, some have Pot Luck Suppers. I know of at least one Cub Pack that has an annual Blue and Golc;I banquet. Some Units put up window display, some have Father and Son camps. What are you going to do? I know of one Unit that will have an Open House display of subjects related to the Merit Badges. All of our Units should attend church as a unit. The uniform should be proudly worn during Scout Week. So------let's have all units do a little something extra for Scout Week 1963. .-.-.=·--y,-,-AL TNESS" Pres1ae'nt · ennedy has ·for some time now, be.enemphasizing Physical Fitness as one of our most important but sad.:.

It is a sad but true fact that the "Physical Fitness" Merit Badge ·is the stumbling block for a lot of our scouts. Two scouts that I know of are stopped cold ·on this Merit Badge, the only thing holding them up on the Eagle Rank. One of these scouts is doing something about it . he asked for and received forChristmas a set of bar bells and he is using them. Some units are incorporating in the weekly programs a portion of Physical Fitness. ltwouldn'thurt all of our Unitstodothesame, it will show some results and maybe get our scouts into the habit.

I fe el it i s nec es s ary t hat definite ac tion be taken in the area of Negro -White rel a tions and it appears t o me the five resol ut i ons should help to establish bet t er communi c ation between the races and enable diffic ul t problems to be resolved . I am particularly glad to see your immediate re s ponse to Judge ~hitmar'·s ruling by removing t h e barri cades on Peyton and Har l an roads . I felt they were harmf u l t o the general feeli ng of pers ons j_mmediately involved and not in t he best int erests of Atlanta as a who le. I would strongly endorse the study to be made by the City Planning department in the hope that additional \ and may be made available f)r housing within the City . If the statistics I have seen are correct, they show a proportionately small land area available for Negroes, and I would encourage th~ Addermanic Board to make more housing land open for Negro building . Finally, it has come to my attention that there is some concern as to whether or not tile City will open its swimm ing pools this summer, especially if they are noc segregated . Let me strongly urge you to keep the pools open to all who would desire to use them. I have been proud to see Atlanta handle the schools, colleges, movies, and lunch counters as the racial bars have fallen; and I think we could also handle any situation which might arise at the pools. Caution and planning would be essential to carrying this out, but I am confident that the people of Atlanta would accept with understanding your leadership at this point. My wife joins me in expressing the sentiment of this letter. Sincerely, J>l»\_ ~ cc: Mr. Sam Massell, Jr. Mr. Milton G. Farris I Lon B. Chesnutt, Associate Director Wes ley Foundation at Georgia Tech �Mr. Ralph Moore Chairman of the Committee on Appeal for Human Rights Atlanta University Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mr. Moore: May I acknowledge receipt of your wire of December 22, 1962 which reads as follows: The Students of Atlanta University feel as if you have made a great mistake 1n supporting the establishment of an Atlanta wall acrossPey-ton and Harlan Roads. In reply to a request of the All Citizens Committee on Better Citizens Planning, we ovill supply 175 picketers per day for the Westend business area. We will also stage several mass demonstrations at the Atlanta City Hall with no less than 1500 students. This action will focus the eyes of the world on the Atlanta City Wall. We do not want Atlanta to have this type of publicity. Therefore we encourage you to remove the wall and save the good image of Atlanta while there is still time." First, this is to advise you that at the request of Mr. Virkgil Copeland, President of the Southwest Civic Association, I have asked reyresentatives of the following four groups to form a citizens committee to discuss the problems confa,onting the Peyton-Forest, Harlan Road area situation. Mr. Q. V. Williamson has advised me that the citizens Committee of Better Plannning will represent him in his capacity as Co-chairman of the Atlanta Negro Voters League. I would thank that any action prior to the deliberations of this committee and its recommendations would be precipitious and harmful to our best efforts . Second, I would like for the students of Atlanta University to have f ull knowledge aind acquaint themselves with the overall problem and with the complete record to date which is as follows: The Peyton - Harlan Road problem is the 52nd area or street to undergo nei~hborhood expansion, penetration or encorachment since the first of the year . The record is almost flawless insofar as the protection of the rights of the Negro citizen is concerned. I am enclosing a list of the 51 str eets on �which this problem has bean handled to the complete satisfaction of the Negro Community to date this year. I hope that the students with t h eir ability to analyze factual conditions will study carefully this record, and I would hope that they would express their complete satisfaction and accord with the record of this administration. I am certain that the matter having been handled so as to protect the rights of all persons in the first fifty-one instances wou ld raise the question o f w h y it is not b e i ng handled the same w ay in the Peyton-Harlan Road in s tance . again, can be factual and «a:m definite. The a ns w er , The Peyton Road incident, consisting mainly of Fielding Lane agitation, is an a r tificial, unnatural condition created by unscrupulous pa rti es, both w hite and Ne g ro w ho have attempte d through une t hical, di s loya l and false misrepresentations to panic the residents o f an established community . To pr event thi s con dition, I ha ve pre v iously worke d w ith the Empir e R e al Es t a t e B oa rd a n d a citizen s committee compose d o f the W est end B u s i nessmen' s association and the E m pire Real Estate Board. In spite o f a previous record o f excellent c ooperation, from thes e two bodie s, i t wa s impos s i ble to pr event this arti fica l bargining of land to be stoppe d . May I invit e your a ttention to t h e fact that the closing of P e yton and H arland Roa d s is in i nconvenience to m o stly whi t e c i t izens a nd p r actically n o N egro cit izens. It do es not pr event access or egress into any area of town, nor does it limit any right s of the ixJm:.oix individual citizen fr o m purcha s e o r s a l e or oth er fundamenta l liberties. It has merel y served as a warning to unscrupulous real estate deal ers that Atlanta will not tol erate under the g uise of " race d escrimination" the d estruc tion of fundamental val ues amongst any of its citizens . -2- �I would hope that you would study this problem carefully and I want to as sure you that if there is any additional information you desire that I will be glad to supply it. The record as outlined above shows that the rights of all citizens have been protected without question in 51 out of 52 instances and now there is a question mark as to the 52nd instance. Atlanta's reputation has been built by those who have carried out the aforegone record. It is my sincere hope that the students of Atlanta University will not destroy this record by any unusual demontrations at this time. Should you ignore the aboe request and feel that you must picket for the sake of picketing, then b e assured that the rights of the indiv idual in picketing will be zelously guarded by the law enforcement body of this city. Should you wish to picket the city hall for the purpose of National publicity, then, if you will let me know, I will be g l ad to receive you on the city hall steps at an appropriate time. I iv hope you will tell the students of Atlanta University that our record is outstanding and that I hope they will not destroy it with any unnecessary or overt action. �~ I BY___ _____ __ ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE SALE OF REAL ESTATE OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN BY AGENTS, BROKERS OR arHER PERSONS WITHIN THE CITY OF ATLANTA AND PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR THE VIOLATION OF SUCH ORDINANCE .

September 27 , 1962 Dear Friends, I amt king the liberty of addressing you collectively due to the press of time. I have been advised by the State Department that approximately $700.00 of American and foreign currency which was unidentifiable, was recovered from the air crash at Orly Air Base. 1/ Normally such funds are deposited by the General Accounting Office into the United States Treasury. However , due to the circumstances involved, it is the feeling of - the American Embassy in Paris that these funds should be used as a memorial to the Atlantians who lost their lives in that crash. It has been suggested that this money be contributed to the Atlanta Art Association Memorial Fund. I would appreciate hearing from you as to the distribution you wish made and if the suggestion of the Art Association Fund is agreeable, l will be pleased to ask the Embassy to appropriate the $700,00 to this worthy cause, Sincerely yours , Ivan Allen, Jr. - �I eity of Atlanta Mayor ' s Office. 10-15-62 - I . ,. ' - " October 15, 1962 Dear Friends : All miscellaneous personal effects picked up at the scene of the Paris air crash and not otherwise identified have been collected and sent to the City of Atlanta. They have asked the City to assist in giving an opportunity to the families to identify and claim these items, and the City is glad to help in any way that it can. These items will be at the Carnegie Library in Atlanta from October 22nd to October 26th during the hours of 10:00 A. M. to 2:00 P. M. You can enter the library in the Forsyth Street entrance, and the articles will be in Room A-114. We would be glad for you to come by at your convenience and identify any objects that you can. Items identified will be tagged and held until October 26th as above. After that time, if there are no other claimants, the item will be delivered to the claimant upon a proper receipt being given therefor . This matter is being handled by Herbert T. Jenkins, Chief of Police, and Edwin L. Sterne, Associate City Attorney. If you have a question about any of this, please call either of them. Chief Jenkins is at the Police Station and his telephone number is 522-7363. Mr. Sterne is in the Trust Company of Georgia Building and his telephone number is 525-5591. Sincerely yours, Ivan Allen, Jr. �ATLANTA CITY HALL - MAYOR'S OFFICE ~ ' .- (}·· ." . Congratulations and many thanks for the splendid reports coming in on the new plegdges to the Friendship Club. Already some departments have reported 100% participation on the schedules suggested . This shows a fine attitude and fine executive ability by the heads of these successful departments and their employees . In every instance where the department head has set the example and personally presented the program to his employees , the results have been outstanding . This is a challenge that cannot be delegated. Reports of successful departments indicate that the department heads and their top salaried employees first met and got behind the program. After ·that, it was not difficult to get other employees to follow the good example set . Special recognition is due the following departments: Comptroller Fire General Court Municipal Auditorium Personnel Police Purchasing Traffic Engineering I feel certain that all of the other departments will make equally fine reports when they have completed their solicitations. Everybody wants to carry his share, so let's get the job done by November 1st if possible. If more time is needed, however, delay your report. It is more important to achieve success in this effort than it is to meet a deadline. Sincerely, Ivan Allen, Jr. I.I> I �February 18. 1963 M rs. Nancy W . Collinson 1113 Moore ' s M ill Road. N . W .

City Hal l Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mayor Allen : Thank you mos t sincerely f or the recent ac tion which you t ook in blocking c ertain s treets in s outhwes t Atlanta t o s erve a s a 11buffer" between the negroes and whites . For quite some time the negroes have been a liability and nuisance to the City of Atlanta . However, unfortunately, due to the steady increase of their population and the ability of some groups of people to 19purchase" their vote and other groups to make a dec ision for each and every one of them, their political strength throughout Georgia is becoming more and more a burden upon our society. To this end, the future for us not only means ultimate deterioration of the breeding of our own white race, but it means that the negro leaders today are affecting National politics, and in the future will gain control over the white race. I feel strongly about this, in view of the number situation, whereby the negroes are outnumbering whites in many areas of our country. I think a study should be made in every State, in every City to determine the percentage of negroes in comparison to the whites. The percentage so far as Atlanta is concerned will probably surprise us. Naturally, this enables those who seek office to have the benefit of this vote. The only answer that I can think of is to continue to extend the city limits of Atlanta so as to include more white citizens' votes, in view of the fact that the white population is being forced into the suburbs. �rr -Page 2 Also, I think it would be a good idea to select a certain area of the City of Atlanta and "zone", so to speak, it colored. This would mean that the negro could not try to integrate the white sect i ons. If they would be satis fied with one section of town, this would be fine - however, as you are aware, they wish to acquire only one ot.· two houses in each section, so as to cause more turmoil. I think the politicians of this City and of Georgia should begin to think of the future; that is, the problem which we are going to have with the overpopulation negro situation. The negro who contributes nothing to society, culture or our economy, is gaining steadfast control in politics and our personal lives. It is not only our task to fight today's problems, but to look ahead and see what we can do about the future problem of the negroes and how they will affect the nation. The breed itself has cast a burden upon our taxes, and integration will certainly cause our own white race to fall. I also think it would be interesting to know how many negroes pass the white barrier every year . I am sure a study of the negro situation would be expensive fo r A~ranta, and it should be done on a national level. I think a committee of the best educators - scientist, a historian, financial experts, economist, etc . should be appointed to make a study of the problem and to come up with a solution. Surely, the government should understand that one ruling cannot possibly suit itself to certain locations. This committee should be the Justices of the Supreme Court that is, not a committee of legal representatives, but a committee of educators who are studying our problem and who have knowledge of the history of this country. In time, the negro situation is enough to cause more than turmoil in our country, more than opportunity for foreign interference, but the breed speaks for itself - actionwise -, and revolution could be the future of this country. These are my feelings, and why I think you, a leader and politician, have certainly taken a firm stand in this one City problem to show those of us who are not to be called segregationists (that is not the word), but rather those of us who work hard to improve ourselves and to contribute a little something towards the improvement of mankind, leaving something of ourselves which will be an asset to life itself , �Page 3 and never forgetting that our children will be left after us to seek an answer to the problems which have existed during our own lifetime. Surely our purpose and debt to life is not to live richly - but to live well. Thank you for showing us that you are working "for" the improvements necessary towards maintaining justice in this area.

ATLANTA 9 0 GEORGIA January 3, Mayor Ivan Allen City Hall Atlanta, Georgia ~ ~~(y Dear Mr. Mayor: As one of your long time admirers and supporters, as well as a proud citizen of Atlanta for some 50 years, I feel it incumbent upon me to drop you a note concerning Atlanta's "Image" which I found on a recent trip to Florida from which I returned on New Year 1 s Day. I was there at the time the National radio and television connnentators reported on the "Buffer Wall" set up in Atlanta. Wh ile I realize that my information concerning the events which lead to this action come only from newspaper reports, and while making no claims to knowing what is best in solving this and other similar problems in race relations, I can report without equivocation that this action has caused the "Image" of Atl anta to suffer enormously in the minds of the people with 'Whom I came in contact during a ten day period. For the first time in a great many years I fo und myself on the defensive with relationship to actions of "my town" and I mus t say I found it very unpleasant. While I have not always been able to feel proud of the actions of our State Government, I have not found it necessary to "explain", with embarrassment, action that our "C ity Fathers" have taken. I have always in the past felt that the spirit was positive; a spirit where progress was being made. In this situation, I must say that whatever the mer its of the actiori taken, the action itself appears to me a negative one and not in keeping with the spirit so often pronounced by our beloved Mayor Emeritus, 11 Bill" Hartsfield: 11 We don 1 t have time to hate in Atlanta - - - We 1re too busy making progress " . I trust this letter wil l be received in the spirit in which it is being written - that of sincere concern, because of a deep love for Atlanta, its history and its f uture. My best wishes to you for a healthy, happy and progressive 1963. Sincer~ly and 2 ternal~y yours, 16:26, 29 December 2017 (EST)~~4- CJ, Irving L. Greenberg, M.

Mayor : I n a way the matter I am referring to is none of my business, but in another way I feel a responsibility because I am a citizen of Greater Atlanta and have been working in Georgia since January 1929 in the interest of Christian citizenship with the youth of all races . Further , I am advised that my l eadership of the l aymen 1 s committee whic~ developed the Laymen 1 s Manifest o in connection with the desegration of Atlanta Schools.which took considerable time, was definitely helpful. Mrs , Rohrer and I deeply regret the fact that a barricade was built across Peyton ?.oad, knowing there was marked resistanc especially from one group , and that before the objecting group was asked to confer about it . We are convinc d that any fair minded person would admit that such procedure is unfair- slap down the opponent and then tell him, let ' s talk about it . Why not talk first? If only there ere some way that the barrica~ could disappear into thin air, conference bet een the two groups immediately concerned could proceed On much more amicable basis than can be possible with it remaining up unless the objecting group possesses much more~hristian forebearance and consideration than is possessed by most of us . Why the haste? We hope and pray you and your associates will find ways to solve the difficulty without further offending or humiliating the objecting group.

I certainly hope that you will continue your position of not being pushed around by any group, whether it be minority or majority.

I personally am a developer and have built and sold many of the fine homes in our neighborhood. I now am holding for sale one dwelling and 15 vacant lots on which I propose to build houses for sale. Needless to say, the purchases of near--by homes by Negroes have disturbed our neighbors and have influenced _prospective white· purchasers to not buy in this neighborhood.

City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta , Georgi a Dear Mayor Allen : Pursuant to your request that I outline the sequences of events necessary t o accomplish the proposals set for t h by the Citizens of Peyton - Utoy Forest Community, the following comments are submitted : 1. The plan, as submitted, contemplates making available 250 acres for development for residential purposes for Negroes . This would require the rezoning of at least a major part of the tract marked (3) which consists of approximately ninety (90) acres, presently zoned for M-2 (Industrial) purposes . It would appear that at this time the Zoning Connnittee should be apprised of the necessity of the rezoning of the subject tract and possibly a few other minor zoning changes that will be necessary in order to determine their feeling toward this proposal and the plan in general. 2. The next step would appear to confer with the owners of tracts 1, 2 and 3 , to determine their willingness to cooperate with the general plan. 3. Determine who and in what manner properties indicated in green, which will provide the buffer areas, will be dedicated or acquired. 4. Determine the exact position that Harlan Road and Peyton Road will be closed so as to insure that the purposes of the plan will be accomplished. 5. Accomplish necessary rezonings. �Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr . City of Atlanta Atlanta , Georgia 6. October 9 , 1962 Page 2 Close Peyton Road and Harlan Road . There will arise from time to time many other problems and de tails t hat will have to be solved as t hey present themselves . I do believe, however , that the above sequence will be necessary in order to get started . Yours very truly, Bean Engineer WBB •• bj �IVAN: Sid Avery just called and said that it is his understanding that Foster Eugene Bennett has sold his property at 483 Fielding Lane, S. W. (in Peyton Forrest) to Dr. Clinton Warner, a Negro (who presently lives at 2491 Dale Creek Drive, N. W.) That there have been quite a few threatening calls to Bennett who is moving to a house he owns on Ghix Columbia Drive in Decatur. Sid Avery said he is going to call Capt. Little and alert him of the impending dangers because of this. . and Avery is requesting that you "take immediate action to see that Dr. Warner" does not move in" because there will be trouble. I told NHK Mr. Avery that any instructions to Capt. Littl e should come from the Chief or the Mayor, and that I would appreciate him not telling Little to take any action. He said he would not, but merely "alert" Little . �,------ - November 1, 1962 MEMORANDUM TO: Ivan Allen, Jr. FROM: W. F. Floyd, Jr. SUBJECT: Peyton Forrest Area Last night I had a telephone call from a neighbor of mine who lives on Oriole Drive commenting about a meeting that was held Saturday night somewhere in the Peyton Forrest Area. According to the information furnished me there were some twenty-five property owners present. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss some lots held by Jim Bennett, who is a realtor operating in the southwest section. Bennett had been offered $~5,000 for these lots by some colored real estate operators. Bennett is represented by Cecil Turner , and according to the information given me Turner urged th e property owners to get together funds sufficient to buy these lots at the $~5,000 price or he would encourage Bennett to sell to the colored real tors. Further it is my und erstanding George Wilson offered to pay $30 , 000 for th e se lots and give Bennett an option to buy these back at the expiration of twelve months (I am not positive about this time), at a profit of $500 . 00 per lot. It is my understanding that Turner was not interes ted in listening to s uch a price. The property owners in this area do not have the type o f money that would en abl e th em to get together suff icient funds to buy these l ot s at the $~5,000 f igur e . If these lots go for c olored, then the area is op en f or f urther sales to colored peopl e. I am sure that ther e must b e another side to the story, but I wanted to p a s s the inf orma t ion on to you that had b e en given t o me becaus e I know you have b een act i v el y wo rking on a p r ogram tha t would set up a "buffer" i n thi s l ocation. �LAW OFFICES CHARLES H.

As you know by now, the negroes are trying everything to cause panic and unrest in our neighborhood. The negro realty agents of Calloway Realty Co., Alexander & Associates, Fuller Realty Co. and others are using such tactics as calling everyone in a block, saying they have several homes in the area listed for s a le. The y are riding through the area in large numbe r , stopping and pointing at different homes. There has also been some seen in the area in the early morning hours, two to three A. M. There are no through streets in the area and we see no reason for this nonsense. All the residents of the are a (Peyton and Utoy Forrest) h ave signed an agreement not to sell to negroes, but the pressure and tactics used by the negroes have stopped the builders from building in the area, also people who have been transferred in business are unable to sell their homes because of these tactics.

Atlanta 11, Georgia July 25, 1962 Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor; City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mayor Allen: I am writing you this letter as a res i dent of Peyton-Utoy Forest which is located off Peyton and Harlan Roads in Southwest Atlanta. Since procuring my new home in December, 1961, I have become deeply disturbed with a most unpleasant situation which has developed in my community. It seems that a few "imported" Negro citizenry who live in various sections of our fai r ci ty are determined to drive the Peyton-Utoy Forest residents out of Southwest Atlanta and perhaps out of the entire ci ty of Atlanta which i s being rapidly absorbed by the Negro popul at i on. This penetration is obvi ously aimed at gaining control of the entire Southwest area whi ch contains many beautiful homes and thousands of civic-minded White citizens. As a homeowner, I have been subjected to constant harras sment and unrest by these few Colored citizens who are bent on the successful employment of Chicago "block-busting" tactics. Residents of my community have been plagued with numerous phone calls and visits by Negro real estate brokers soliciting listings in our all-white community. Each day children are required to be overly cautious while playing because of the constant stream of ~egro vehicles touring our area in an attempt to create unrest and pani c. We a.re finding it increasingly more difficult, if not impossible, to persuade our friends and other prospective homeo-wners to settle in our community and enjoy the fellowship and home life .which characterize our quite, peaceloving, neighborhood. Mayor Allen, we are tired of being persecuted; and we tremble at the thought of watching our $21,000 to $28,000 homes decrease in value because of an unwarranted, uncalled-for attack by profit-minded Negroes. We earnestly solicit your help in stopping this encroachment in our community and in Southwest Atlanta in general. I have lived in Metropolitan Atlanta all of my life and in the city limits for twenty years. I like Atlanta and what it stands for; but if these block-busting tactics continue and no �Honorable I van Allen, Jr. Page 2 July 25, 1962 assistance is offered by you and · other city officials, I, like other friends I have talked to, may be forced to vacate this progressive city. I trust you will do all in your power to restore confidence in our community by persuading the Negro agitators to abandon their block-busting attempts in Southwest Atlanta. A reply to this appeal will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, A~t ~ Bobby F. Farmer CC: Milton Farris Jack Summers �512 Haldane Drive S.W. Atlanta, Georgia July 26, 1962 Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor, City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mayor Allen: This letter is in behalf of the residents of Peyton-Utoy Forest and the citizens of Southwest Atlanta. As you probably know, quite a problem has been brought about recently by the fact that Negroes are attempting to "run" the white residents out of this area. Realizing that there is no law in Atlanta restricting areas by keeping inharmonious racial groups from l i ving together in the same neighborhood, we appeal to you to assist us with this problem. Of course, you realize that many families have much to lose by having to move out of this connnunity, and not only that, the city of Atlanta would be losing quite a bit of tax money if these residents were forced to move out into the suburbs, or even out of the city altogether. Also, keep in mind that uprisings such as this will keep newcomers from wanting to move into our city for fear of lack of security in establishing a home. Some of our prominent government officials such as Senator Brown, Jim Aldredge, John White and numerous others who are dedicated in making Atlanta a prosperous city, live out in this area and I feel sure they will assist you in taking a fair stand on this matter. Mayor Allen, you cannot realize how a problem such as this can affect a person. It interferes with performance on their jobs, and I personally know of several instances. One of my neighbors is spending much time and money in the doctor's office due to the fact that her health has become worse as a result of worrying about losing her home. And speaking for all of the homeowners in this area, I can assure you the attitude towards our city's government is becoming demoralized. · If you think we are taking the wrong approach, I would appreciate it if you would take the time to offer us your explanation. otherwise, I will assume that you take the same stand as the residents of the Peyton-utoy Forest. Sincerely, �July 30 , 1962 Mr . C . H . Daniels 499 Haldane Drive, S . W . Atlanta 11 , Georgia Dear Mr .

Also that there is a plan to extend Westview Cemetery to Peyton Road and Zone a strip of land M-1 to provide a buffer zone for the white citizens of Southwesto I live in Peyton/Utoy Forest and it is becoming increasingly apparent that no one is doing anything to help uso Our area represents approximately 60 homes, valued at between $21,000. and $28,000o eacho This not only represents considerable tax income for the city but also contains many civic minded voterso Both of these factors will be a considerable loss to the city should we be forced by negro encroachment to leave the city limits behind us. I might also point out that as soon as the negros force us out, they will next force out the people on Peyton Road, Sewell Road, Audubon Forest and finally the entire C:-.scade Heights section.

Through engendered pride and determin tion, our forebears set the path for pre-eminence of America in world ·affairs. However hazardous land and home ownership may have been to our forefathers, todays insidious movements present equally heart breaking risks. About two years ago I purchased a home after retirement in the Utoy ForestPeyton Forest area. Along with fifty or more others in this area I invested all my savings and mortgaged a limited income. Our little neighborhood is new. We t ake nride in home ownership. Collectively our investment in Atlanta runs to about d~l.2 million. Now we find the future uncertain. Negro interests are trying to move in. Pressure and unsc~pulous practices are being applied. Open as well as covert t acti cs are evident. The objactice - break the community and buy property at a fr action of its real value. What can we do Mr . Mayor ? We are trying to stand together and holj our community intact. This is an appeal to you - use your very powerful office to give us aid and assistance. At least in a moral way through Negro real estate interests. May we count on your support?

A suring you of my cooperatio~ l am Sincerely yours, l Iv n .Ellen, Jr., Mayor lAJr/br �July 24 , 1962 Mayor Ivan Allen , Jr . City Hall City of Atlanta Atlanta 3 , Georgia Dear Mayor Al len : As a homeowner and civic-minded citizen of the City of At l anta , I am wr i ting this l etter in the inter est of my home , as we l l as t he homes of my f r i ends and ne i ghbor s4 I am a resident in the Utoy-Peyton Forest Area , which is constantly being plaqued with threats from the negro race , to invade on our property , and sec ure our homes . It is not very pleasant to know that you have worked for many , many years , are finally able to give your fami ly what you have always wanted for them , t hen , by no fa ult of your own , have t o unwillingly sell out , and leave i t o Sure , it is said that yo u do not have to sell , that ' s true , but afterteing plaqued with threats from the negro race , as we have been , almost constantly , for the last year , there is usually one , as has been proven in other parts of the City , who will panic - then your community usually goes . I do not believe the elected officials of our City realize just what a threat this is to the City of Atlanta . If not , it is time your eyes were opened to what is · happening and will continue to happen . People who have been forced to give up their homes are leaving the City Limits of Atlanta . The majority of others who are being threatened , or are in a danger zone , are pla nning the same . We certainly have no intentions of staying7 with the possibility of getting into similar situation in another part of the City o e will continue to battle this situation until the bitter end, but we certainly need , and should have the support of you in the City Hall o There is an urgent need for action to be tken to curb this "block-busting 11 that not only is threatening our community , but the City of Atlanta at large o �l Mayor Ivan Allen , Jr. July 24 , 1962 Page No . 2 Ask yourself what will become of Atlanta if the people affec ted leave the city limits? Can ' t you see the potential danger . If you could live in t~e situation , with the people, hear the discussions , and see it through our eyes , I then believe you would realize there is a danger of losing not only a great amount of tax money today , but your white citize~s in great numbers . Then what will happen? I have lived in Atlanta the greater part of my life , love it dearly and would never have wanted to live anywhere else until now , but to have peace and tranquility , it seems I have no other choicee We are not asking or saying that the negro ra ce not have what they justly deserve e we only ask that they get it in their own rights , instead of harassing us , and by hook or crook , get what is ours , when we are unwilling to give it up, but do so through force . Mayor Allen , I would appreciate an answer , telling us just what plans are being made , if any , or what steps we might take to get help in stopping this before it has gone too far . Please let me hear from you in the near future . n,,,.2..-.

It is located in the Utoy- Peyton For est area in the Southwest section of Atlanta . we started with drapes , carpets , and many other things that go into a home , and in about three (3) months here comes the negroes , and it has been a continual fight since that time to save our homes e We have owned and paid taxes on three different homes in the Southwest Atlanta section in these twenty years , so naturally we feel that we have had a small part in building this great City of ours of which we elected you Mayor o We have voted for many bonds in the past to help make our City great . For the last several years the taxpayers that have been paying for most of the bonds , have had to fight continually to hold their homes , schools and churches . Now we are being asked to vote for another bond - Eighty Million Dollars worth . We all want to- continue to help our City to grow , and like any business, it will have to have additional revenue to do so . When one has to fight so hard to hold on to his possessions , there is the question in one ' s mind whether you would want to vote for something that would keep you investing in something you will eventually lose . I Mro Mayor it is my humble opinion that you and the AldermaNic Board should take some positive and constructive action immediately to insure the white · citizens of Southwest Atlanta that our taxes and votes will not be spent in vain o �Honorable Ivan Allen , Jr .

Atlanta 11, Georgia July 20, 1962 The .Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor of the City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mayor Allen: An attitude of fear and resentment is fast developing in the residents of a proud Southwest Atlanta community. Fear of losing the new homes they love at staggering financial losses and resentment at their elected city officials for no assistance. If the block busting" tactics employed · in this community prove successful, all Cascade Heights will quickly feel the affect. Yes, all of Atlanta will suffer through the Loss of long time white residents to the suburbs carrying with them a deep seated and justifie d hat r ed, reduced property values of entire Southwest A tlanta, a nd a d r astic curtailm ent of city revenue. Our neighbo r hood of P eyton a nd Utoy F or e st is composed of ho me s th at range in price fr o m $21,000 - $ 28,000 and we are surrounded by all wh it e commun ities .

A majority of these cars have out o f town licences indicating they may be paid to agitate. �Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr ••••..•• Page Two 2. Night telephone calls from agents of Callaway Realty to 15 - 20 homes on each street asking for listings. These agents also infer that they have secured listings from home owners in this area. No home owner in our area has listed his home with a Negro realty company. You could stop this intimidation. 3. Realty salesmen from T. M. Alexander constantly riding through our neighborhood, stopping at every opportunity and questioning home owners about the sale of their property. We in particular and all Atlanta in general urgently need the influence and persuasiveness of your office to prevent our loss. We plan to make a sincere effort to take all legal steps possible to protect the sanctity and value of our community. We sincerely request your help. Yours very truly, Cj·~ C. J. Owens �
