My authority for this statement is Ralph McGill, publisher of the Atlanta Constitution, long a moving and militant force for equal treatment of the N egro citizen as provided by law and the Constitution of the United States.

Carmichael was arrested ·on a charge of inciting to riot in connection with the hiring of a sound truck that urged Negroes to protest the wounding of a car-theft suspect who tried to escape. In the riot that followed, 15 persons were injured . . Inciting to riot is a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of one year in jail. There may well be places left in the South where the charge would have been insur- rection, a capital offense. But Atlanta is a city of predominantly thoughtful, moderate people. Justice there is a point of pride. Carmichael will be tried and found guilty or innocent. If the finding is guilty he bas avenues of appeal to the highest courts. Carmichael, leader of the Student Nonviolent Co-ordinating Committee, has publicly advocated that if Negroes fail to get what they want they take the law into · their own hands. He can be thankful, we believe, that the people of Atlanta hold the law in higher respect tl.lan that.· ���TA.vrJd~ r 51:., P;- /9t'.t 5 ,'r ; /7z.a.r- ol.-46 r h,' ) 4-,,t I s~ lA./ o ~ r--xl-z: v i'::. /0""-../ r-...{~ a_ ccov~r o-P T/4.z: r/cT 1 ""'- ?4/-Let~ - /Wa~ /

.-e-; A. MO~RIS �~ / " -- - . ~----"-~--,--.- ~ �The Editor's Notebook Snick's Agents of A a c y Are Fomenting Urba:t;1 ts THE RECENT riots in Atlanta offer convincing evidence that most, if not all , of the racial violence in our large cities has been organized and led by a small minority bent upon the destruction of our society. My authority for this statement is Ralph McGill, publisher of the Atlanta Constitution, and long a moving and militant force fo r equal treatment of the Negro citizen as provided by law and the Constitution of the United States. McGill places responsibility for the Atlanta disturbances squarely upon the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (Snick) and its leader, Stokely Carmichael. Snick, according to _McGill, has no more than 300 members. These have been the a gents of anarchy in Watts, New York, Chic ago, Cleveland and other major cities. Snick's beginnings were more ausp1c1ous. Its early student leaders were motivated by high dedication to the civil rights cause. Now the John Lewises and other responsibles are out. Con trol of Snick is held by the ex treme radicals, of which Car:nichael is the dominant figure . As McGill says, Snick is no longer a civil r ights organizati on but an anarchistic group which is openly and officially commi tt ed to th e destruction of exist ing institutions. T hough small in membership, Snick appeals to all haters of the white man. Its slogans of defiance intrigue the very yo ung as was shown in A tlanta where the mob was largely com posed of youngsters in the 12 t o 18 age ran~e. the NAACP and Whitney Young who heads the Urban League have all repudiated Stokely Carmichael and h is tac~ tics. ·* THE CITY of Atlanta has long enjoyed an enviable reputation for racial amity. Ironically, it was Atlanta's splen,did image that the destroyers sought to tarnish. And yet, unwittingly, Stokely Carmichael and his followers performed a useful service not only for Atlanta but for the entire nation. For here was stripped away the myth that Negroes are always incited to riot over poor Jiving conditions, Jack of employment and denial of civil rights. Mr. Carmichael has now revealed · himself for what he isa scheminlg 'fomenter of disorder, a mad dog who attacks all whites indiscriminately, a revolutionist who seeks to burn and destroy, a terrorist who defies law and spits upon our flag .

THE RIGHT to pe~ceable assembly is guaranteed by th e Bill of Rights, as is the freedom to demonstrate and to seek redress of grievances. · Togeth~r and ip- a .spirit of constructive cooperation, the Negro and white communi~ies must find solutions and answers to the problems which beset our cities. For they are both numerous and difficult. A ma jor start has been made in m a ny areas. Where failures have occurred, the Negro is usually as much at fault as his white brother. Sus picions, distrust and fear of association have worked against the Negroes' best interests. But the effort must gc, ahead if we are to enj oy the fruits of a compatible society in which there is mutuality of purpose and respect for all.

THIS NATION will not, however, permit the destroyers of societ y - the Carmichaels and his ranting radicals - t o tear down what we have built, to burn and destroy, to defy law and order with- rocks and Molot ov cocktails or to hurl anarchi stic slogans and impr ecations at our public official s. The Ribicoffs and the Kennedys who continue to deplore "our trag ic conditions" from comfortable seats in t he U.S. Senate should visit riot areas and' seek to . quiet the mob, as did Mayor Allen. · If nothing else, the experience might leave them better informed and not quite so ·sure that all social ills can be cured by dispensing . a few hundred more millions from Wa~hington. Plus C<1 Change, Etc. TODA Y'S el ection in South Vietnam is largely an exercise in propaganda. I ts purpose is to elect a 117member assembly charged with writing a new national constitution. When that is done, a legislature is to be elected next year . . The election has been n eatly rigged by the ruling junta. Premier Ky's generals can change any part of the new constitution Unless two-thirds of the constituent assembly objects. This rneans the junta could control the assembly with a t hird of the Votes, plus one, or 40 votes. So despite ef fo r ts of t h e Vietco ng to di sru pt t h e elect ion by llcts of viol ence against those "who partic ipate, the outcome is assur ed. It w ill be acclaimed in W ash ington and Saigon as a trium ph ! o r representative government.

L il had t• dI'UD' of r- Rioting In Atlanta The most surprising thing about the riot in Atlanta is that it should have happened there. For Atlanta, by general · agreement, has been a model for southern cities in its race relations. Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. has walked the last mile in search of racial peace. He had almost solid Negro support when elected. He was one of the few southerners t o t estify in support of the 1964 clvtl rights bill. He has added Negroes t o the police force. Atlanta's schools and city facillties are totally integrated. Many Negroes are employed by business establishments and the city has sent eight Negroes to the state legislature. All of this count ed for nothing, h owever, when a suspected Negro car thief was wounded while t rying to escape from arresting police officers. When some 500 or more Negroes took to the streets the mayor climbed on top of an automobile and tried t o reason with t hem. He was shouted down . Taunts of "white devil" and "black power" greeted h im. Finally the mob surged around the car and the mayor was jarred loose frolll. his perch and fell to the street. No, this didn't happen 1n a Birm- Ingham or a Selma. It happened in Atlanta. Little wonder that the Rev. Martin Luther King Sr., who lives in Atlanta, was heard to ask: "What do they want? The mayor came down. He tried to speak to them and they wouldn't listen. What do they wapt?" It was a good question, but hard to answer. For most of the members of the mob may not have known themselves what they wanted-unless it was an excuse to throw rocks and rant about police brutality. The mayor says the riot was deliberately caused by some of Stokely Carmichael's SNCC henchmen, and he may be right. For the mob began shouting "kill the white cops" a fter SNCC representatives, according to the police, spread t he false word that the suspected car thief "h ad been shot while handcuffed and that he was murdered." Wh atever may h ave been t he case with the riot ers, it seems clear that what the SNCC people want ts trouble, trouble, t rouble. And that Is what t hey are going t o get, though n ot in the form they want, if this .sort of madness keeps up. r•. .,g se pli hJ r, ~------. w,. -~-UP s �Capt. Virgil W. Harris, Box 572 Hq.

Krueger Manai\ni Editor Dlek West Editorial Editor FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1966 The Trials of Atlanta _ UNTIL THIS week, t~e City of Atlanta had maintained a glowing reputation as one of the hardest-working ~ommunities in the building of interracial harmony and progress. Through the efforts and cooperation of whites and Negroes, it established itself as a model of peaceful integration, a model studiei by other Southern communities trying to solve their own racial problems. Then Stokely Carmichael came to town with his inflammatory sales pitch for "black power" and his rantings against "the white devils." And on Tuesday night, Carmichael's loudspeaker campaign came' to fruition with the rioting of a mob. This mob a ttacked the mayor, who tried to reason with its members. It attacked the policemen who tried to restore order. But it did more-it attacked the concept Atlanta has represented, the concept that real compromise and cooperation can achieve a spirit in ·wnich all races can work together to build a better city. • THIS WAS perhaps the greatest damage that the mob did. Now other city fathers may be tempted -to shrug t heir shoulders and say: "What's the use? Atlanta ·has done as much as any city in the South to make co_operative integration work, and look what happened." Dallas citizens in particular may be discouraged by Atlanta's experience, for the two cities are very much alike in their populations, in their economies and in their attempts to build through interracial cooperation. But before we decide to abandon the path that Dallas and Atlanta have tried to follow, it would serve us well to look deeper into the events of the current week. There is more to the story than the headlined activities of Carmichael's SNCC barnstormers or of the hundreds of young rioters. We should note that there were Negro as well as white leaders who tried, at the risk of their safety, to quell the viole·nce. There were Negro as well as white policemen who skillfully restored order before the riot turned into a bloodbath. And, perhaps most important, the Negro Atlantans, local civil-rights leaders and ministers, were the ones who organized a door-to-door campaign the following day to counter Carmichael's efforts to turn the city into a battleground. IN SHORT, in Atlanta, there is a durable fabric of society, a fabric that has been woven of both white and black threads through the years of cooperation. The efforts of these years have not been as dramatic or as wellpublicized as the riot, but in the final analysis they should prove to be more lasting in their results. These results of the work of men of good will will not be destroyed overnight by men of Carmichael's stripe. Rational Atlantans of both races cannot stand by and see their community torn asunder, because those of both races know that they have a stake in its future . The Rev. Samuel Williams, president of the Atlanta chapter of the NAACP, summed it up most succinctly when he declared: "Atlanta is not by far a perfect city but it is too great to be destroyed by simpleminded bigotry." �ifay or 1.llen o 1 Atla nta At l ~·1ta ���I �7 ~ . ~ · µ: . )Jµ . r ¼ Cl,4J, ~ hf,,,,.,, u~,. -.

The Quality Of Leadership In Atlanta REJECTING the easy and superficial course of outraged denunciation, Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr., of Atlanta is reacting sensibly and constructively to the recent racial disorders in his city. While condemning Stokely Carmichael and his cohorts for their role in the rioting, the Mayor conceded that t he substandard living conditions in the Negro area where the outbreak occurred would be a fertile field for agitation by anyone. The city, he said, "must assume the responsibility of housing, education, and employment opportunities for many of these disadvantaged people, and in Atlanta we have accepted this as our responsibility." The Mayor also made it clear that he favors passage of the civil-rights bill - now before Congress with an even stronger open-housing provision than it contains in its present-form. With this kind of leadership, Atlanta should continue to show the way to racial accommodation in the Deep South. The rioting in Atlanta came after a policeman shot a Negro sought in a car-theft case. The policeman's judgment, in this instance, is open to question, but the use that Carmichael and his lieutenants made of the incident brings Carmichael's judgment into even more serious question. The evidence is strong that he provoked the violence, and to what purpose? Mr. Carmichael, it is becoming increasingly clear, is a liability to the civil-rights movement. His purposes are undefined and his aggressions unfocused. His tiresome chant of "black power" is dangerously provocative and he has yet to define what it means in the context of his operations. Dr . Martin Luther King, on the other hand, continues to speak in accents of reason. Commenting on the Atlanta outbreak, Dr. King said: " It is still my firm conviction that a riot is socially destructive and self-defeating ... (but ) ... while condemning riots, it is just , as important to condE>mn the conditions which bring riots into being." This is virtually the same position that Mayor Allen takes, yet Mr. Carmichael implie that Mayor Allen is a raci t If he is, then o is Dr. King, and Stokelv Carmichael is going to ha\'e a hard time elling that idea. l �• 2 BLOCKS FROM DOWNTOWN PEACHTREE STREET 255 COURTLAND ST . .

And as for t he rank and fil e demonstrators who were deceived by t he call for "black power," we quote Mayor Allen's lamen t : "They don· t k now. They j ust don't know." �A Cause -For Anger MAYOR Ivan Allen· Jr. of Atlanta is one of the new breed of Soutnern political leaders who seeks equal justice fo r all under the law. He has helped earn his community a repu ta ti on .for enligh tened handling of racial matters. The mayor is angry. No t because he was tumbled in the dust by a mob he was trying to calm. He is angry because, he says, the riot was egged on by a group which calls itself non-violent. There is substance in what the mayor says. A sound truck manned by members of t he Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee was rushed to the area of tension where police and taunt ing Negroes faced each other. Over the loudspeaker SNCC denounced ~racist police" and ext olled "black power." In the ensuing violence 16 persons were injured. Between 60 and 70 were arrested. More moderate Negro leadership is critical of SNCC's tactics. One Atlanta minister said t he situation was under control before the "nonviolen t" ones arrived. "They whipped them up with hate," said t'he minister. Others, including the Squthern Chr istian Leadership Conference, condemned t he violence. In these times of tension and unres t , no community can afford t o point a fing"'r a t another or close its eyes to its own shortcomings. The sit uation in Atlanta, how- ,ii Atlanta ever, shows how easily violence can be created ·by irresponsible agent s and how seriously it can affect t he patient, dedicated search for sol utions by individuals of both races. May or Allen has cause to be angry and so have those in Atlanta and elsewhere who know that violence can only destroy. j �7 WEST 66th STREET , NEW YORK, N . Y. 10023

It was foolhardy of you to charge into the middle of a riot scene - and I can .not thinm of a single instance in modern times wher~ an official of our go1m11nment in any capacity has done so,-any one vbo was willing to be personally involved on the side of law and order. I have listened to gihowing reports of Atlanta from a friend of mine, Mr. Dan Haughton of Lockheed, and now I attribute much of what is happening there to its Mayor. Earlier I said it was foolhardy of you, but thank you for giving a surge to my drooping spirits, I shall long remember the picture of a determined man, unafraid to stand up for what he believes his duty. But do be careful, there are not enough of such as you.

Influentti.al Negroes and whites criticize Mr. Allen on porbant specifics of his performance, but they do not seriously question his motives, his attitudes or his courage. Most impre6Sive to these people was liis risky mingling with young hotheads stirred up in the Sept. 6 outbreak in summerhiil . For an hour and a half, Mr. Allen plunged from one angry knot of rock-'throwing Negroos lio another, trying oo calm them down and a vert s tern police action. He told this report.er in an interview: " Sometimes when I'd be talking to one group, another would be jumping a policeman just behind my back. Most of the aroused Negroes did not know who he was. Some, he found, did not know WHAT a mayor was. While he milled around, some p o l i c e m e n helplessly muttered fears for his safety. An experienced Negro civil rights leader in Atlanta says privately: "It was very significant that Mayor Allen saw the trouble first-hand, that he experienced the anger and didn't just read about it in police reports". He w~t out there when his very p1·esence could provocative. have been laid at his door. Negro leaders "It is good to know we have a man who cares enough to go in and see." A white liberal, looking at the mayor from a longer view, says his determination to rid Atlanlla of slums is "almost an obsession" with h,lm. This source thinks, in fact, that others in the city's white power structure are s o m e t i m e s annoyed at the mayor's preoccupation wibh tihis and other Negro problems. ·Some of the very same Negro and white spokesmen who speak feelingly of Mayor Allen's dedication and courage believe he has not really grasped the depths of slum despair and frustration, that he mov(!B too slowly and too narrowly to eradicate festering conditions which could be growing worse. Not all the blame for this is often criticize themselves and their middle class colleagues for not showing more forceful and imaginative leadership. There was cr iticism of the mayor, however, for arresting SNCC leade1· Stokely Carmichael and other " SNICK" workers on charges of " inciting a riot." Id; was argued that responsible Negroes in the distw·bance areas were effectively casting out Carmichael and his limited followers on their own. Tho ex p e r i e n c e d Negro leaders vehemently disapproved of Oarmichael's tactics, a prominent lawyer among them said privately that one group he sat in with suggested quietly llhat the stir "might do us a whole lot of good." The argument Is the obvious one: there has been too much attention oo Atlanta's shining surface, too little to its seamy underside. ��p I I ~ -. . -- ._., ....... 61/r ~ 61/r ~ 61/r ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ '- ��'v\ N, <.:., v; SEP 10 - ,. /2' 1,-- PM c__ 196f' ,{(_.::s_i? ~ ~ «U~ 0&--?t"2a_ �. .1 �ITHEN.IJTION.4L OBSERVER. . :._ Monday, S~p~ember 5, 1966 -· _ , ' rll · Ouotables . llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllflllllllllll 111111111 = lng the n foreign t the very an' ody, e · sonfinal 1s our . t-' t-' t-' Stokely Carmichael, chalrman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee: "In Cleveland, they're building stores with no windows.

�- - -- - -- - - - - - - EDITORIALS A New Star In King's Crown Atlanta's Negro riot - and no unruly gathering with overtones of violence should slide by under the euphemism of "demonstration" shows that in the field of racial progress as in so many others, you just can't satisfy some people. Atlanta has long been regarded as a municipal beacon of Negro progress and interracial goodwill shining in a darkened wilderness. It has been held up to other areas of the South as proof that Negroes and whites can jointly build a great city with opportunities and benefits for all, that progress can substitute for "never" and prosperity for "freedom now." .---- BUT SUDDENLY there is a smirch upon the image of Atlanta which had been as golden as the dome of the state capitol, sitting there on its own little Acr opolis. Atlanta has had a race riot, its Negroes have poured into ttie streets s ffillting "black power," its mayor, second in succession with proved records of friendship to the Negroes of that city, has been attacked while he talked with the mob seeking an end to the trouble. It is no more logical to expect all Negroes in a city to be wise and logical and understanding than it is t o expect all white citizens of a city so to be. But it is tragic that a relative handful of nincompoops can destroy for the reasonable, hardworking and understanding majority of Negroes in a city such as Atlanta most of the goodwill they have enjoyed, ancl put sand in the gears of continued progress. ATLANTA'S RIOT, and the personal, physical attack upon its proNegro mayor, give obvious excuse to other cities and other leaders to reject efforts for cooperation with Negroes for improved racial relations and opportunities. "If they can't even be satisfied in Atlanta, there's no point in trying," is going to be a general reaction. Thus once more the excesses of the "black power" movement will react against the best interests of the vast majority of Negroes. And everyone should remember that the rioters in every city, north or south, represent but a minute portion of the Negro population of each city involved. But this excess was itself inevitable. No matter the need, as Martin Luther King interpreted it, for focusing public attention upon the needs and wishes of the Negroes, when the civil rights effort took to the streets it laid the groundwork for rioting. And the successes which met Dr. King's tactic of provocation inevitably planted in other minds the idea that it pays to riot. 'FHE PARTICULAR riot in Atlanta was triggered by the shooting .of a Negro suspect in a car theft investigation. Circumstances surrounding the shooting weren't clear in press reports of the riot. But it was white police against a Negro suspect, and to the militant "black power" groups anything a white policeman does that a Negro doesn't like is "police brutality." This, too, is an outgrowth of the King doctrine that there is a moral obligation to disobey some laws. From this sprang the idea that you obey only the laws you want to obey, which is the same as saying you don't have to obey laws at all and those who try to make you do so are oppressive brutes. Martin Luther King and his tactics of violent non-violence came from Atlanta, and now they have returned. In addition to all the progress with which he is credited, he must be credited too with Atlanta's riot. And with the fact that the same day the, wires carried the story of Atlanta's night of violence, they carried the word that Senate leaders concede passage of the newest civil rights bill is virtually impossible. �DRRDENTD ERRlD . . ftf t O Nt:Y JOHN T.

All the strength and force of man come~ from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Stroi1g convictions,. precede great actions.- James F. Clar ke, American theologian. · EDITORIALS : Comm·on Sen·se And Silliness There have been some encouraglng- comments from Negro leaders in recent weeks, seeking to put common sense into the efforts fo r improvement of the lot of Negroes and to put an end to the mania for achievement by riot. These are keyed generally to offsetting the rougher aspects of the " black power" movement. Out of these have come some good words of advice. Even Martin Luther King has tried to play down the "black power" business, and called off his planned march into Cicero, Ill., with what appeared to be only a face-saving agreement with officialdom, in the face of almost certain violence. THURGOOD MARSHALL, former Negro precept, these are words worthy of repeating. And they are refreshing and encouraging. But in the midst of these encouraging signs, there continue to be indications of a lack of maturity in · other areas of Negro leadership, and of a basic misunderstanding of the meaning of equality of citizenship. The Florida NAACP, for instance, has just pulled one which is best described as silly. IT HAS 4NNOUNCED that it will hold a rally, and invite all candi• dates for the Legislature and other state offices. "And we will campaign against any who don't accept the invitation." Apparently, then, the NAACP leadership in Florida is not inter- executive of the NAACP and the ested in what f uture legislators and first Negro ever to be appointed solicitor general of the United States, a former federal judge and thoroughly competent lawyer, has added his weight to the commonsense talk. Speaking to a national Negro fraternity's convention last week, the solicitor general denounced "the rock throwers and the Molotov cocktail throwers." And he added that ' 'lawlessness is lawlessness, anarchy fs anarchy. Neither race nor color t10r frustration is an excuse for either lawlessness or anarchy." state officials believe, what their policies for better living conditions are, what their ideas are about economic improvements which would aid Negroes as well as others. The NAACP leadership is merely inter ested in demonstrating its blackmail power to force candidates to come before a convention audience. _ _IN A. TIME ~h both whites and blacks are increasingly prone to the Vl e t approach to problemsj and n Dr. King's espousal in an era of moral law-bre · g is a major THIS IS THE poorest form leadership for Florida Negroes in· cerely interested in improving their lot, and the poorest form of political leadership as well. If the leadership of the Negroes f l · a s o .nore concept o its role than it showed in that chal· lenge, the outlook for bette1 days for Negro citizens is not as rosy as it has appeared to be. ..

Rioting In Atlanta The most surprising thing about t he riot in Atlanta is that it should have happened there. For Atlant a, by general agreement , h as been a model for southern cities in its race relations. Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. h as walked the · last m ile in search of r acial peace. He had almost solid Negro support when elected. He was one of the few southerners to testify in support of the 1964 civil rights bill. He has added Negroes t o the police force. Atlanta's schools and city facilit ies a re totally integrated. Many Negroes are employed by business establishments and th e city h as sen t eight Negroes to the state legislature. All of this counted for n othing, h owever, when a suspected Negro car t hief was wounded while trying to escape from arresting police offic ers. When some 500 or more Negroes t ook t o the streets the mayor climbed on top of an automobile and tried t o reason with them. He was shouted down. Taunts of "white devil" and "black power" greeted him. Finally th e mob surged around the car and the mayor was jarred loose from his perch and fell to the street . No, this didn't happen in a Birm- ingharn or a Selma. It happened in Atlanta. -Little wonder that the Rev. M·a r tin Luther King Sr., who lives in Atlanta, was heard to ask: "What do they want? The mayor came down. He tried· to speak to them and they wouldn't listen. What do they want?" It was a good question, but hard to answer. For most of the members of the mob may no~ have known themselves what they wanted-unless it was an excuse t o throw rocks and rant about police brutality. The mayor says the riot was deliberately caused by some of Stokely Carmichael's SNCC henchmen , a nd he may be right.
